rosti tuscan kitchen

service is poor - waited 15 min to take our order, server never checked on is, trouble getting a server to come over for the bill. food was decent, slightly bland.

great food, poor service. we ate there last night, the food was good, the service was very poor, the waitress didn't even offer to refill our drinks one time, she didn't even bother to check on us
a different server even brought us our food

 when a craving for authentic tuscan cuisine takes over, a great place to tame it is one of three west coast-based rosti tuscan kitchens in southern california. pronounced “roast-y” the santa monica locale reminded us that we didn’t absolutely have to be in italy to enjoy the aroma of freshly baking bread, signature pasta and secret family recipe sauces, and all things savory involved with impressive italian favorites sure to keep any food connoisseur pleased. freshly baked bread & free indoor corkage it was a crowded thursday night. my husband and i contemplated departing with the heavily populated eatery, but decided to wait a few more minutes despite. before we knew it, the hostess led us to a candlelit romantic table for two window side, and left us with menus and wine glasses for the wine we brought with us until our server would arrive. the ambiance was warm and inviting and heavenly scented with the likes of fresh basil, crushed tomatoes, and pizza dough boldly wafting through t

great food, great prices. went to rosti's last night and had a great meal. they don't have a liquor license, but you can bring your own wine - and no corkage fee. we started off with the minestrone soup and their homemade bread. next, we shared the rosti pizza - basil, smoked mozzarella and tomatoes - and their vegetarian antipasti salad.

they have vegan and vegetarian specific menus, which really surprised me. the menus are full of choices like sun-dried tomato and grilled cheese panini, grilled vegetable salad, fire roasted artichoke, whole wheat spaghetti and tons of veggie pizzas and pasta dishes as well.

if i wasn't full enough, i decided to get a piece of boston cream pie to go since i was pleasantly surprised by the bill - only $33. great food, service and prices. definitely coming back here again.

tasty italian fare, dog friendly outdoor seating. this neighborhood favorite is reliable, tasty, and boasts outdoor seating that is dog friendly. the chicken is wonderful, as are the roasted potatoes, the hot paninis and the salads. fresh lemonade. i'm a regular.

the outdoor seating is a prime car wreck watching spot. the pizza sauce is on the bland side. nice servers.
