Family operated. Mama's in the kitchen for prep, then runs the front room. Her son is the chef. Family recipies, very well executed. Menus change with seasonal fresh produce and fish. Full bar. Informal. It's worth the drive from anywhere in North San Diego County. More

Convenient to the Residence Inn across the parking lot (and the best food option within walking distance of the hotel). Food is professionally prepared, presented, and reasonably priced. On that particular night, service was rather sparse despite the lack of crowds. Overall, good value for the money and I'd go there again. More

Our first visit to Rosina's was fantastic. We were seated, then welcomed by the owner, Rosina, who also told us about the night specials. The food was delicious, well prepared, and the servers checked on our table several times through out the meal. The place is small, but well arranged, and well decorated too. It's a really nice addition to... More

There are many Italian restaurants in the US - I know, I've been to a great many of them! I've also had lots of Italian food in Italy. In the states, the Italian food is catered to Americans...very heavy sauces, overcooked pasta and really overdone. Actual Italian food is very different...in fact, very much like Rosina makes, including the pizza.... More

Saw good reviews on Tripadvisor for this restaurant and decided to check it out. Excellent authentic Italian food with a variety of seasonings. We started out with brushetta appetizer that was unlike any I had ever had and was excellent. My friend had pork marsala which was tender and flavorful. I had the spinach ravioli which was also very good.... More

My husband really liked the food. I loved the spinach goat cheese salad. The food had a home cooked quality and was well seasoned. You will not leave hungry. We will go back. Nettie 35 More

My husband, myself and a couple of friends visited here the other night. We had read the reviews, love Italian food (one of us is Italian and the others just visited Italy,) and looked forward to a delicious dinner. We were shown to our table quickly, and our friends arrived minutes later. We pursued the menu for some time, and... More

This restaurant is located in a small strip mall surrounded by several other eateries. There is a small patio, but apparently the small wait staff number causes the hostess to discourage diners from sitting on it. The bar is small (seven seats) and looks like one in a modest man-cave. There are a small number of tables inside, which, when... More

Read great reviews so was excited to go and was hoping for a wonderful Italian meal. Very average experience. I had the bolianese sauce, it tasted like there was sausage in it, which should not be part of a true bolianese. Also watery and lacked flavor. My husband had the clam sauce, better but nothing to write home about. The... More

We had the pleasure of dining there on a weekday night in August 2011. Rosina makes you feel like family (in the positive sense of the word). She's attentive, honest about the offerings, and very friendly. She make you feel like family as previously stated, or like old friends. The food and wine were first rate, the prices were reasonable,... More
