I am not opposed to spending some money for great food, exotic dishes, etc. I am opposed to spending $22 for a pasta dish--and a very generic one at that! The only thing that I enjoyed about my experience was our waitor was fantastic and the wine was overpriced, but very good. There are other places to go in Daytona to get a far superior meal at a much more reasonible price, but if you want four or five-star, take the time and drive to Orlando.

Rosario's has moved yet again. Is now in the first floor of a timehare/condo/hotel on A1A at the North end of Daytona Beach.

The food is almost always excellent but they can fall apart when really busy. They probably take more reservations than they should.

We travel to Daytona frequently, and most trips include a night of dining at Rosario's. It is a small, family owned and operated restaurant located on the ground floor of The Live Oak Inn (a B&B that I think is also operated by the Vinci family). The food is great, as is the service. No matter how well-traveled you think you are, give it a try. At the very least you will leave satisfied. More than likely you'll leave very impressed. One cautionary note: the dining room is rather small and is more suited for romantics and business dinners than for families with small children -- though when I took my own 2 and 5 year olds, the Vinci's were most gracious and accommodating.

I have friends who regularly go to Rosario's and who took me there when I visited them. We had an absolutely incredible meal (I tried everyone's dishes and loved each, and we ordered a few great desserts, too) and I enjoyed the homey atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and they made us feel like we were more like family than customers. An overall wonderful experience.
