    Went here for the first time. Very delicious! The environment is nice! They have outdoor sitting or inside. There is easy parking in the back of building. Jordana was our waiter and she made the experience fun! She was polite, professional and very attentive! The food was delicious. Very fresh! Will definitely come here again

    Wonderful place to eat at if you happen to find yourself strolling down Montana Ave in Santa Monica. Between the wonderful weather and delicious food it makes for a great time. Amazing and quick service. As for the food i was greatly pleased! The only bad critique i have is the marinara sauce (not pictured) that comes with the calamari, it was very soup like(low key giving tomato soup vibes), it lacked the thickness of a dipping sauce BUT nonetheless still good. I ordered the blackened chicken Caesar sandwich and chiiiiile the chicken was so juicy and seasoned to perfection. Everything tasted so fresh! My sister ordered the half pound rosti cheeseburger which looked delicious she did state “ for it to be a well done burger it’s still juicy and flavorful, it doesn’t taste dry at all” Of course i had to order me a drink, i kept it classy with Prosecco & i love how it comes in a small individual bottle vs it being poured from a larger bottle. We ordered the pollo al mattone(drumsticks) for my nephew unfortunately he didn’t seem to enjoy the drumsticks as much but he was able to eat the fries. Btw the fries y u m m y you can taste the rosemary sea salt and I’m guessing a drizzle of olive oil. all in all this place is delicious and a heavy recommendation to eat at, the only downside honestly would be finding parking if their parking lot is full, but even then that was not much of an issue

    We had a very bad experience at the restaurant. The hostess didn't greet us properly; instead, they just handed us the menu and pointed to our table. After we were seated, we waited for about 20 minutes, but no one came to take our order. We noticed the staff engaging in random conversations with customers at other tables, neglecting our needs. Frustrated by the lack of attention, we decided to leave and went to Spumoni, a few blocks away, where we enjoyed better food and received excellent service.

    Love the food here. We order the Supreme (Italiano I think its called) for take out and it never disappoints. The cafe is always packed so we eat at home but the vibe is so nice. They have indoor and outdoor and the pasta is great too. Pizza here is huge and feeds 5-6 people unless you have hungry relatives then it feed 2-3 people.

    Everything here is great! The garlic truffle fries 🍟 are a perfect amount of truffle 🍄 – not too much. And the garlic was super fresh and pungent 🧄👌 yummy burger 🍔

    Looks Like this place does not want business: I contacted the restaurant for an Office team dinner and was greeted very nicely. For further details she redirected me to the Catering Corporate. The Catering Corporate was extremely rude when I told about the possibility of organizing an Office team dinner at the restaurant I was replied "We are not interested Thank you" and cut the call.

    We were in town for a few days and……this was our best meal without question! True gluten-free - a must for me. But delicious, priced right. Oh and Jordana was attentive and made excellent suggestions. You can tell she’s a favorite with the locals. We’ll be back next time we’re in town!

    A nice Tuscan restaurant with a very good pasta and dessert menu. Montana is a great street as well with lots of nice shopping.

    We just love Rosti in Santa Monica – hands down, the best Italian dining experience in town. Every dish on the menu is a culinary masterpiece, but the Drunk Shrimp pasta is a true standout, a symphony of flavors that leaves your taste buds singing. A special acknowledgment to Dylan, the maestro of hospitality at Rosti. His passion for the restaurant industry shines through in impeccable service, making our dining experience truly exceptional. Rosti and Dylan together create an unbeatable combination that keeps us coming back for more.

    Great patio spot for lunch. Food was good, pretty basic but good. Would go again. Staff was really friendly and place is fairly priced.

    Came here for a late lunch on our way back from Malibu. We sat outside which gives you a view of the street while enjoying some fresh air. The bruschetta came with some cheese and arugula which was a nice touch. I ordered the caprese sandwich and unfortunately it was drier and blander than I would have preferred. Next time, I would order something else off the menu.

    Great food and even greater staff. We ordered pizza and it was awesome. Me and my friend got lost in our conversation and the next thing we know all other customers were gone. The manager came out and told us we could stay as long as we needed.

  • 4/5 John M. 9 months ago on Google
    A huge menu with lots of choices, we had soup, pizza, pasta, salad, and their famous bricked chicken. Desserts also delicious, particularly the lemon bars. Great wine selection, not much beer and only in cans. A bit busy so we waited longer than expected for our food, but the staff was very apologetic and helpful.

    Nice place but the server did not check on us not even once, I had to flag him down to ask for salt/pepper, again to ask for more bread (twice), once more to ask for parmesan cheese and finally again to ask for the bill (got tired of waiting). I ordered spaghetti with beef meatballs.. The pasta was overcooked (too soft), the meatballs (five of them) the meat was minced, it did not taste good, and the overall temperature of the food was lukewarm. The portion however was generous. Can't get more basic than spaghetti with meatballs. Sorry, but I will not be returning.

    Very okay restaurant. We got the chicken ragu and pasta di mare. Chicken ragu was good but nothing crazy- i would get the beef ragu if I went again. The pasta di Mare with the white wine was also okay but again, nothing crazy. Our server was a bit awkward as well because she thought I was underage and wanted to order wine and she snatched the drinks menu out of my hands along with the desert menu. I am 24 and I was just reading the wine menu with no intent of getting anything. ( I do look pretty young but I am pretty sure I would be allowed to read a drinks menu even if I was 12)

    My GF pizza was perfect, as was my GF dessert. Our server was so lovely and went out of her way for me to make sure my food was safe for me to eat which was very appreciated. Little things go a long way. Highly recommend!

    I didn’t want to post a review because the staff was nice. But this was the worst pasta dish I’ve had. The drunken shrimp linguine was like a bland cheesy oil soup. I’ve never had pasta just drowning in oil. And I usually love olive oil. Everyone there seemed quite content though so maybe it was a bad batch. To each their own. The desert was nice.

    I really wanted to like this place because of all of the gluten free options, but the pasta was not good. The sauce even worse. The kitchen was playing music really loud which kinda killed the vibe and the service was slow and inattentive. I asked the waitress a few questions like, “what’s the white wine sauce like?” And she just said, “I’m not sure” and Our drinks were bell refilled, despite asking. The only saving grace was that the gluten free pizza had good crust and flavor.

    Order take out pizza and walked to the restaurant to pick it up. Staff was friendly and really enjoyed my pizza. Charming place, especially if you're looking to take your special someone somewhere nice.

    I was visiting my friend in California last year when she suggested this restaurant. I was against the idea at first thinking they wouldn’t have great Italian food being from NY. However, the food was absolutely delicious!! I ordered a few things, but the highlight was the chicken Marsala. It was the best chicken Marsala I’ve ever eaten in my life! If I lived in the area I would become a regular because the food was so amazing!

  • 5/5 Joe S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to have an amazing meal. They have all kinds of options including Italian food and American food. Great ambience and very welcoming. My wife is also gluten-free and they have tons of options for your particular needs including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free! My favorite always is the pizza and the pasta!

  • 5/5 Ram A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Italian restaurant with separate Vegan and Vegetarian menus. Pasta, Pizza, Sandwich, and Salad options.

  • 4/5 kmacneil91 2 years ago on Google
    Nice selection of meals and overall atmosphere was very welcoming and warm. Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Complimentary bread while you wait, too. Table was pretty small but they were crowded so understandable. Nice servers.
