We just had our San Diego Chrono club meet up here last night. We were able to try all different menu items. Everyone really loved the lasagna. The owners and staff treated us really well. I posted some pictures of our event and some steaming, hot lasagna shots.

Thus placed intrigued me, they say everything made from scratch. So I decided to give it a go. I had what I believe they called Rosetta. A pasta specialty from Modena, thin Pasta Sheets layered with creamy bechamel, proscuitto cotto, and Gruyere cheese. It was fantastic, I highly recommend this place. the service was exceptional. Nice warm italian bread with marinara sauce to start. I will be returning for sure!

Rosina has been close to our neighborhood for years. It is one of the best Italian restaurants among the many we tried. Thats not to say just because its close. The food is flavorful and ingredients super fresh. We always have a good time when we catch up there. At our last visit we tried - the Gnocchi, the eggplant parmigiana, Penne Puttanesca and the Salmon. Everything was delish and the salmon cooked delicate. Charles was our server, he was great as he served everything amicably.

Parking: Small lot in front of restaurant and to the side. Lots of street side parking as there isn't much in this residential area aside from Rosina's with a nice green space on the other side of the street from patio. Ambience: Quiet residential neighborhood. Lots of patio seating, which was a draw during pandemic. Service: attentive, glass never close to empty, and not intrusive. Food: Amazing (see pics), with leftovers that reheated well.

Rozina Restaurant is such a gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warmth and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food is absolutely delicious—every dish feels like it’s made with so much care. The kabobs are perfectly cooked, the saffron rice is fluffy and fragrant, and the appetizers like the hummus and mast-o-khiar are so flavorful. What really made the experience even more special was Mahta, one of the waiters. She was so kind, attentive, and made sure everything was just perfect. Her warm personality really added to the experience and made us feel so taken care of. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just craving amazing food, Rozina Restaurant is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!
