Rosanna's Pasta Shop

Ilana Tunca

This is the cutest little pizza and pasta shop! Feels like you are in Italy. They make their own pastas and sauces, and you can take home their freshly made pastas and sauces too. Best pesto sauce I have ever had! If you are looking for authentic Italian food in Northern County, this is the place. I highly recommend to come eat and buy gifts for the Holidays.

It's a little local shop for take out, light groceries and dine in. We wanted to eat somewhere quick but not wanting to do a sit down restaurant. This was perfect. Brent was so nice and helped us a lot. We got the special sandwich and made our own pasta with meatballs, vodka sauce and fettechini. We added a large garlic bread and coke. Next time we will only get one of the Mel's because we only finished half of each. It's made to order so you'll wait but it's worth it. Everything tasted amazing and we saw a nice steady flow of customers. We are trying the pizza next time.

My first time to Rosanna’s and all I can say is wow! Being from the Bronx I can actually say it’s definitely pretty close to an Italian shop on Arthur Ave. The only thing I couldn’t find which was very disappointing was Pastina. The shop is on the smaller size so of course they can’t stock every Italian food item. But they did have sausage and peppers and eggplant Parmesan subs which were to die for. 🤩 I only wish the sausage was thinly sliced on the sandwich, there’s something about biting into a sausage and pepper sandwich with whole sausages. They had my favorite dessert, Sfogliatella which was delicious but was the smallest one I’ve ever had. 🤌🏽 I will definitely be returning to the shop. 🇮🇹🍝

I would go to Rosanna’s multiple times a week for lunch and always get their turkey & cheese sub. First and foremost their homemade bread is fantastic. Soft , fresh and flavorful. They also put pesto Mayo on there as well which really raises the quality of sandwich. The staff here was also quick, attentive and friendly. Their fresh pasta and cheeses look great as well. They carry many Italian cookies and wines as well.

This is one of our favorite local spots. The sandwiches are all delicious. The fresh made pasta is our favorite to bring home and make for dinner. They also have wonderful Italian imports that you can only find here: cookies, wine, dried pasta, and more. Friendly service and amazing food.

The only place with the best Italian food, both freshly made (also frozen) and imported from Italy! And what an extremely friendly team! Love coming to Rosanna’s!

Catering service was so awesome! Food amazing! Great small business to support!

We have been coming to this little spot for over 15 years at least! ALWAYS good food, wonderful service!!

For the longest time I’ve been looking for a simple delicious sandwich, growing up my mom made them all the time, soft, crispy, whatever I wanted. It somehow always tasted perfect. So wherever I am now I look for something like that, but you’d be amazed how difficult it is to find something so simple, people always try to create crazy combinations, but never get the basics right. I came across Rosanna’s the other day and decided to try a turkey panini. Telling you that it brought me back to my childhood isn’t even exaggerating…. Crunchy, flavorful, perfect amount of turkey, focaccia was delicious and I love the circle it came in. Yes it scrapped the roof of my mouth but hey, love hurts!! And this place hurts in the best way, in my deepest childhood memories. Of course had to come back for the meatball sub. Everything that I ever wanted and more… never in my life have I eaten a meatball sub in a crunchy crunchy bread and I always imagined it’d be great, sauce everywhere but no soggy bread. And if that doesn’t convince you, my girlfriend that never dares to eat messy food in the car agreed to one bite of my meatball sub and inhaled all of it…in the car, just us two, crumbs everywhere. Of course I had a panini as a backup !

I’ve driven by this place for 15 years, a tiny shop/restaurant in a strip mall near the Vons I grocery shop at and always wondered about it. I’m not a big pasta person. I ordered their meat lasagne via door dash today… absolutely delicious!!!!!! I might be eating more pasta soon and will definitely be trying the meatball sub some day soon.

Very nice and accommodating employees. Best red sauce I ever tasted. Never had a bad meal here. Small shop; usually get take-out.

Best Italia deli in both county san Diego ! Fresh pasta, home made eggplant Parmesan, lasagna, copiously antipasto salad..... Delicious!!! They have a couple of tables for eating there but I always take out.

best meatballs and pizza! Very good service, fast and affordable! I have a standing order for meatballs for my bookclub

Can't go wrong with Pasta Night. Fresh pasta, marinara and a caprese California salad is the perfect combo for a cost effective week night dinner for the family. Love it!

First time here, but seems well reviewed and supporting local. Didn't know what to expect so went simple, the 10" italian combo sandwich with double meat. The sandwich was pretty good and bread was great but I was a little surprised at what they called double meat. You be the judge, but if this is double I will probably save the $4 upcharge for single meat.

This review is coming from someone who used to love Rosanna's and has eaten at their restaurant for over 15 years. I just had an experience that made me never want to go back there again. I called Rosanna's today at 6:20 to place an order for pickup. A woman picked up immediately and said "I'm with another customer please hold" and put me on hold. I waited 5 minutes and finally hung up and re-called. Same thing, "I'm with a customer please hold". At this point it's 6:25 and I know they close at 7, so with the phone still on hold I drive down to the restaurant. I'm on hold again for the entire 20 minutes I am driving down there. I get to Rosanna's and walk in and I am the only one in the entire restaurant. I walk up to the register and see a middle aged lady with brown hair that I spoke with on the phone and say to her, showing her my phone that is still on hold and ask, "Why have I been on hold with you guys for 25 minutes?" And she just looks at her restaurant phone and says "Oh, I don't know!" and hangs up the restaurant phone. She asks then if I want to order something to which I say "Yeah I guess". Then she replies, "We closed the kitchen at 6:30". At this point I am super upset because why would she even ask me if she's going to respond with "Well we closed." I just reply saying "Well thanks for telling me." and leave. This lady was incredibly rude and unapologetic. If she acted genuinely apologetic and if it seemed like a legitimate mistake, I would not be writing this review, but her attitude was so smug and the fact that she was willing to waste my time like that is why I'm leaving this review. Now that I know their kitchen closes at 6:30, I have a feeling she was just making me wait on hold until then so I wouldn't be able to order. I want to reiterate, I have no issues with Rosanna's as a restaurant. The food is fantastic, and the employees there are generally very nice. Both Alex and Brent have always been very kind to me and the service is top notch. My issue is not with anything but this individual. Because of this though, I will not be returning to this restaurant. If you continue to keep employees that have no respect for their customers, you will continue to lose those same customers who have supported you for many years.
