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. 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.

I have been a loyal customer of Rosti Santa Monica since I was a child. Fast forward 20 years, and the food remains just as fresh, delicious, and high quality, if not better. I always order the beef ragu, and it never fails to impress.

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 thewaitress a few questions like, “what’s the white wine sauce like?” And she just said, “I’m not sure” and Our drinkswere bell refilled, despite asking. The only saving grace was that the gluten free pizza had good crust and flavor.
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 hereis huge and feeds 5-6 people unless you have hungry relatives then it feed 2-3 people.

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 veryattentive! The food was delicious. Very fresh! Will definitely come here again
the menu is enormous and we had difficulty deciding because there were so many things we wanted to try. we had to start the pfirsich burrata crostini, which was not disappointed, and then the arugula and cowardly salad with steak, also amazing. a really delicious lunch in a wonderful place. a new favorite!
