We found this place by doing a general web search when visiting California. The decor and atmosphere are good. Rosina, herself, was the hospitable hostess and her recommendations on menu items to choose were spot on. Bolognese and gnocchi was filling, delicioso, and the portion was just right. We finished with a freshly made canolli..yummmmmmy! Our whole party left satisfied... More

Without a doubt, Rosina’s in Oceanside is the best Italian food in North County San Diego. Don’t even bother with the menu [although very extensive] her specials will delight even the most experienced connoisseur of Italian cuisine. I have spent many a day in my grandmothers kitchen in Italy enjoying great Italian dishes and Rosina’s food is as good or... More

Oddly located in a new development, surrounded by industrial parks, Rosina's is a intimate restaurant with a warm welcome. The decor was curious: on one side you see old-world Italian charm, and on the other side, a large and sleek flat-screen TV, playing the sports chanel over a bar. The dishes and specialties of the day were presented by the... More

My husband and I have been here several times since the restaurant first opened, and have never hesitated to bring visiting family, as it is always a delight. The specials change all the time, and her daily soups should not be overlooked. I absolutely despise squash, but her roasted butternut squash soup is insanely good. We have tried everything from...

I read a review that says "if you are in Oceanside - you MUST go to Rosina's" and after having dinner there I will say the same thing. We spent 4 days in the Carlsbad/Oceanside area and our meal at Rosina's was a highlight. The daily specials are worth serious consideration - If Rosina is telling you what she made... More

I have been to Rosinas since she first opened yrs ago in la jolla and have loved every meal I have ever had in her restaurant. The food is tasty and consistent and portions are just right. Currently I live 45 minutes south of Oceanside and still make a trip to rosinas if I want to have a great Italian... More

We have been visiting Rosina's Italian Restaurant for 4 years now and can say that it is simply the best Italian cuisine in San Diego County. No other restaurant reminds us of our experiences in Italy like Rosina's. Rosina, Gian Carlo and Gian Franco her sons, create a cullinary experience that is found nowhere else. The dishes are unique and... More

I love this place. The food is always perfect. Who would think that you would get the best steak of your life at an Italian restauarant but that is just what happened at Rosina's. Having grown up with an Italian grandma I tend to be picky about my Italian food, Rosina's is the best I have had in San Diego... More

I dine frequently at Rosina's Restaurant. Her food is the best we have in North County. She takes her cooking seriously and it shows. All her food is homemade and she uses only the freshest ingredients. Each plate is made to order so don't be surprised if you may have a small wait. Rosina also periodically offers cooking classes and... More
