Rosti Santa Monica

Love eating here. we order the top (italiano, which I believe he has called) for the exit and never disappointed. the caffe is always packed so we eat at home, but the mood is so beautiful. they have indoor and outdoor and the pasta is also great. pizza here is huge and feeds 5-6 people unless they have hungry related then feeding it 2-3 people.

Large Italian restaurant with separate vegan and vegetarian menus. Pasta, pizza, sandwich and salad options.

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

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.

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.
