had visited this restaurant before, it was OK , not great. This time it was TERRIBLE. There was two of us for dinner and we both ordered minestoni soup, it was the worst that we had ever been served. My wife ordered veal picad(sic) it looked and tasted like it was pre-cooked and then micro waved. I ordered egg plant... More

Not sure if I would return again. The service was great but we were sat out in a covered patio which was slightly slanted. It bothered me and my daughter. The food was ok. I wouldn't say it was the best Italian I ever had and not worth what I paid. Kids meals are ridiculously priced. They do not include... More

The food was fantastic and atmosphere was great. We ordered the half/half with homemade ravoli and spaghetti. Daughter had the California pasta. Both were exactly what was expected unlike The Crab Shack down the street. Great dinner and great service.

Both times we we arrived right before their posted opening time which is 4 P.M. The first time we decided not to wait. The second time we waited until 3:59 because there was an employee at the first desk so we thought she would let us in - WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY- TO- DO SIGN OF HOSPITALITY. When... More

We have eaten at Rosa's four times over the years. Every time they blow us away. Of all the clam chowder we have tried in our hometown and practically everywhere we have EVER eaten on the coast, this is the truly best chowder, we're talking out of at least a hundred chowders we've tried. This is the BOMB, just the... More

We stopped in Pismo Beach overnight on a trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Friends recommended Rosa's and are we ever glad they did! It was a Monday night, but the place was jumping with families, couples, generally happy people. Service was perfect: took our order right away, helped with the choices, didn't rush the wine drinks, and understood... More

I've eaten at Rosa's numerous times over the years. Every meal has been outstanding. My most recent visit was at lunch with three others. I had Cozze Della Casa, or for you non Italian's Mussels of the House. Actually it was mussels, scallops and artichoke hearts in a garlic basil sauce over pasta that was amazing flavorful. My fellow diners... More

They hosted a private party for our family reunion, and were great. The food was some of the best Italian I've eaten. I'm gluten intolerant, and they were quick to substitute GF pasta. The servers were friendly and helpful, and the room was lovely.

The best Italian restaurant in the 5 cities area. The food was excellent and the service was great. The staff kept our drinks full and made sure we were attended to. They were very busy and we had to park a block away, but it was worth it. Prices are reasonable and food portions are good sized. We'll be back.
