It's just off of highway 99 before Selma and Fresno, California if you're coming from the south. Close to the Sequoia Mountains makes Visalia a good place to settle. Of course most of the Central Valley is hot but Visalia is 1-2 degrees cooler then Hanford and Lemoore. Come on by and visit... You will enjoy it for the most part and see what the people of the valley is so happy about.

The best thing they have going is a salad bar that has lots of toppings and they are not small portions either. The cafe has some pretty looking treats but the coffee is not great at all. What mainly drives this rating to a 2 star is the consistently rude workers. The front of house team has no sense of hospitality or making people feel welcome. My most recent visit I asked for ranch and the server rolled her eyes at me, put ONE ranch in the bag and I asked for another and she just threw it in the bag and glared at me. I even said thank you which was not reciprocated. Do better!

We love the Rosa's in Bakersfield, so we took it as a sign this restaurant would be just as good. Come to find out, the owners are related and they all thought it would be a good idea to name their restaurants after their grandmother, Rosa. They are also related to the Rosa's in Pismo. Luigi is the owner in Visalia and he takes great pride in his Rosa's. We came on a night where some things were not working as expected; however, Luigi was all over taking care of everything. He was honest about what was going on. As a diner, that allows me to have more grace than if I were sitting there trying to figure out what was happening. There is nothing that should keep you from having a great meal at Rosa's because the owner and staff will be tending to every detail to make it a great night out. I really like the layout of the restaurant. There is a lot of seating. You can come on your own or with a large group. There is a bar with individual seating in the back. The food was what we expected. We shared a plate of veal and chose the pasta with Alfredo sauce. It was very good and I am glad we chose to split the meal. The bread they bring to the table was perfect and I loved it. We overdid it a little by also ordering the cheesy bread, but it was just too good. We had a nice conversation with the owner as we were leaving and look forward to visiting again.

I ordered lasagna and my husband ordered chicken parm. We both ordered arrabbiata sauce and the server asked me if I wanted something a little hotter than arrabbiata and it sounded like he said puttanesca. I asked if that had all the olives and stuff in it and he said no, so I said ok. The sauce literally tasted like Tex med enchilada sauce. I thought I was eating an enchirito but with pasta instead of tortilla. It was not good. He did continue to check on us but anytime he noticed we were out of something it took an average of three times of him saying he'd get that right now before it actually reached our table. He was very friendly though.

I walked in to see their cheese factory and was surprised by their different flavors of cheddar. I like dairy products but dairy products don't like me, so I didn't pick anything up this time. The petting zoo was the most intriguing to me. Most of the animals were excited to be fed while others were just hanging out in the shade. Their enclosures looked a little small for them though. There was only one rabbit who was hiding away in their little house. It looked like it could use some grass to hop around in. I wish the hand sanitizer dispensers were filled. Every single one was empty, but I eventually found the restroom to wash off. I noticed there's a dog park here too. I'm hoping I could come back here with my dog during our next road trip. I'm sure he'd enjoy this change of scenery.

Great as a date night spot or the casual evening out. The service was great, attentive and friendly. Ordering was quick and efficient. Drinks and appetizer came out quickly until we had to wait for our mains. Didn't time it as we were still enjoying our evening but we waited an extended amount of time. Needless to say we weren't the only ones waiting. With the wait aside we absolutely LOVED our mains! The Gnocchi in the pink gorgonzola sauce was amazing! The gnocchi were soft, pillowy, and cheesy. The sauce was creamy with a sweetness from the tomato sauce with a slight acidity. Highly recommended. The ravioli rustica was delicious. Perfectly cooked ravioli were stuffed with spinach and cheese and sauced with a creamy sweet pea puree. All topped with slivered almonds, which added a nice nuttiness to the dish. Needless to say we cleared the plates. Dessert was their special pistachio tort. A flourless pistachio cake topped with rich chocolate ganache and more crushed pistachios. Rich and decadent. We also ordered their Crème Brûlée. Creamy, smooth, with a slight sweetness. The burnt sugar was perfectly torched with a great crackle. Would order again. A great experience nonetheless. Will definitely add to our rotation for date nights.
