Reviews for Rosa's Italian Restaurant in Pismo Beach, CA
Delicious Italian food in Pismo. Plentiful options for both food and wine. Dogs on leash allowed on the covered patio seating.
We like it, the sauce was too sweet, but good, very pricey, our waitress was just lovely. We will go back again, but not to... often. PS they had the prettiest bathroom and it was very clean, we appreciate that. Read more
TL;DR it had me at the bread...and everything else. Good food with generous servings justifies the price ($$$). GO EAT... HERE!! We wanted to have dinner at Guiseppe's but the wait was 1 ½ hrs long so we went here (our second choice) instead. Andboy did Rosa's not disappoint! My sisters ordered lasagna and linguine ala vongole (loads of clams) while I orderedshrimp&scallops pesto cappelini. All we're generous portions and so yummy. My pesto was made fr scratch and there were even somefresh pine nuts in it with lots of scallops (yay ????) and 5 large shrimps. We had calamari and it was scrumptious and generousin servings (which is good after the severe disappointment with Splash Cafe????) We also ordered portobello mushroom with crabas appetizer along with the calamari and it was so good. Between the appetizers and the fresh bread that we couldn't stopeating, we ended up having most of our main course to go ????. We also got the chocolate mousse with rum (divine!) and tiramisu(why not). Service was good. There were a lot of busboys to ensure attention to service when wait staff is overwhelmed. This isin my revisit tag. Hope they'll never change! Read more
Nice classic Italian fare. AMAZING service from Melissa, who made our dining experience special. Highly recommend when in... Pismo. Read more
We had the most wonderful waitress, wish I could recall her name! Small with black hair, so sweet. I ordered the arugula salad... without cheese, the portobello mushroom on top was perfectly cooked and the candied walnuts were bliss. The French beans werealso delicious. Another vegan option are the artichokes, which I will try next time. My pal ordered the spaghetti with marinaraand said it was really good. Oh!! And that bread!!! Read more
Yum!!! Excellent from food to service, beginning to end! I had the special, ciopinno and a signature drink, Italian garden,... excellent. We also ordered the shrimp scampi, also excellent. Read more
Really enjoyed our family meal. My lamb shank was super tender, the bruschetta & calamari appetizers were well prepared. A... couple of the kids did complain of their pasta texture, but overall a great experience Read more
Excellent all the way around. Loved the meatball appetizer. The Chicken piccata and lasagna ( Simple multiple layers of pasta... and ricotta) was great. Service and ambience is great. Read more
