Rosina's Italian Restaurant

We ate out on the patio. Everything was perfect....noise level not an issue at all. Food was superb as always. Service amazing. Couldn't have been a better venue. And, of course, good friends to share the evening with!

The food was outstanding. My crepes with meat were excellent, so was the homemade sweet tomato sauce they were placed on top.. Our teenage grandsons really enjoyed their appetizer and dessert.

This place is awesome, family owned best fresh Italian in the area

Love Rosinas! Food is always delicious and high quality at this family owned restaurant.

The best family owned, authentic experience. From the hand made pasta, half off bottles and free corkage, to the daily specials.... it’s just perfecto! Pickup and delivery during COVID. If you want that taste of the old country, it won’t disappoint.

There were 7 of us. We had drinks, appetizers (burata and antipasti), 6 different entrees and 3 different desserts. The burata was creamy and delicious and the antipasti was high quality, fresh and also delicious. We eat out 2x per week and rarely can I say that we all thought the entrees were excellent - they were all authentic, well-portioned and outstanding. And the raspberry sorbet - deep flavor, fresh and amazing. Thank you for an outstanding evening.

We live Rosina’s

One of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego. Absolutely amazing!

Always love eating at Rosina's. Great food and service. Never had a bad meal.

VERY noisy ....Should do something about acoustics

Awesome place. Great traditional Italian as well as creative options, and specials.

Small little restaurant with huge flavor. The house wine was excellent and a very good value. The soup appetizer and entree were far above expectations. The staff and owner are very friendly and welcoming. Can’t say enough for this little gem.

Our second time we have been to Rosina's and it won't be the last.

Awesome food!

Our favorite Local place to eat. Family owned, Italian food superb and service very good. My wife's favorite dish is the Cannelloni which not many place make. Mine is the Saltimbocca and also the Spinach Salad with warm Calamari . Also they have a good hip wine list. No corkage fee on Wednesday nights.

Our whole experience was flawless, from the description of nightly specials, to recommendations, accommodating our vegetarian, fresh foods, great drinks and attention that made us feel special. Hand-crafted pastas and sauces. It was our first visit and looking forward to many more . . . lots to sample.

Wonderful food! Great ambiance. I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion!

This was our first visit and we couldn't have been more pleased. The pasta, the veal, the tomato sauce, the wine, the service....it was all fantastic!

- Awesome experience
- Food, especially appetizers and deserts were great.

Our first time. Great restaurant! Well run with delicious nightly specials. We'll be back

We love this restaurant! The food is authentic and great. We love the wine selection too. The hardest part for us is deciding what to order as there are so many great dishes that are our favorites such as lasagne, Rosettas, and chicken bolognese. Best to have reservations if you want to dine on the weekends.

I cannot believe we haven't been to Rosina's before now. My Italian-American wife and I, and her mother (who has been preparing wonderful authentic Italian meals for ... well, a long time) had a delightful and delicious evening at Rosina's. We were (pleasantly) surprised to be greeted by Rosina's son, Giancarlo, who explained the specials he had prepared--it was like being personally invited to try his and his family's favorite dishes in their truly family-operated restaurant. And all the dishes were perfectly prepared and delicious by the way. We started with Pizza con Verdura (as an antipasta), artichokes, red onions, tomatoes and spinach, and Calamari con Spinaci; the calamari was sauteed in olive oil and garlic--not breaded and deep fat fried--and served on a bed of sauteed spinach. We loved them. Then my wife had Melanzane alla Parmigiana, eggplant sautéed and layered with tomato, mozzarella and parmagiano; her mother had Fettucine Mare e Monte, shrimp, scallops and calamari sauteéd with wild mushrooms in a fresh tomato sauce with white wine on fettucine; and I had veal piccatta that was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We loved everything and will be sure to return.

I loved it n will be back

Some of the best Italian food I have had in years. It was just a great dinner.

Love this place! Rosina's serves authentic, quality Italian food in a comfortable, friendly environment. Great food and amazing service, I highly recommend you check them out!

Another excellent and tasty dining experience at Rosina's. The Cioppino was great, plenty of seafood and the sauce was perfect. Get plenty of bread for dipping. I tasted my girlfriend's veal scallopini and that was very well done too. Rosina always comes by to suggest her specials. This night, it was the minestrone soup. Another good choice.

We have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed it. There is a nice diversity in the menu. The owner, Rosina is a delight and always willing to chat a bit with you. Her staff is very helpful and polite. The food is homemade and fresh. There are not many tables which helps keep the noise level down and make it a bit more special. A great place for a date, couples, family or group.

We were fortunate to go to the restaurant on a Thursday night, lasagna night! This ,8 layer dish was some of the best pasta I’ve had outside of Italy! We finished with a piece of cheesecake, that was perfect! I will return!

Good food nice service. A little bit noisy with so many people in a small space having a good time. A very nice place. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Best Italian restaurant in San Diego bar none!!!

Excellent cuisine. Love the eggplant.

Celebrated my boyfriends birthday which always lands on Restaurant week, making it difficult to get reservations. But, Rosina's had a table for us and great dinner as always for our special date.

Always great food! Our go to place for birthday celebrations!!

The staff was very nice, and the outside of the building has a nice ambiance. There is a very small
Bar inside the restaurant that seems a little out of place since there is nowhere to check in and wait. The food was below average - with the exception of the warm bread they served. The wine menu is good. The chicken parmigiana was overcooked and soggy and the Rosetta has too much cheese. Overall, I would not really
Recommend this restaurant as you can do better in the area

Best Italian restaurant in San Diego area. They are a family of genuinely Italian restaurateurs. The current owner is second generation and apprenticed in Tuscany before returning home and taking over his mother’s restaurant. The food is wonderful, the ambience is lovely, and the wait staff is friendly and attentive. Prices are no more expensive than other Italian restaurants, making it a bargain given its quality. The location is a bit out of the way but it is worth the drive.

one of the better Italian food restaurants in San Diego......but still average.

Wonderful and thoughtful homemade selections prepared by a loving and skilled Italian chef. Always delicious ~ NEVER disappointed.

We were visiting family in San Diego (we live in LA), and found Rosina's from the 5 star reviews on OpenTable. Those stellar reviews aren't lying! Rosina's is the best Italian restaurants that my family and I have ever been to! The food was amazing, and you feel like part of Rosina's family when you're there. Rosina pulled up a chair at our table outside (we had brought our dog, and the waitress was very accommodating with a water bowl for her, thank you!) and talked with us like she was part of our family, and had us all laughing. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the San Diego area!

The flavors and atmosphere at Rosina's is amazing. She treats you like family. Her sons pour themselves into the dishes they all create with Rosina's years of experience. Amazing.

The food was delicious, and Rosina is awesome! It's like home.
