The fresh market shroom fettuccine dish was to die for! And the portion size was massive. I was able to get two meals out of my order for both myself and my guy. read more

This place smells so good right off the bat. Got the chicken and turkey panini, both very good! Big enough for two people unless super hungry they were good serving sizes. You have to pay extra to add most of the veggies but the sandwich is good as is too. Bread acratched the heck out of my mouth but what do you expect for a grilled panini. Turkey was my fav, light and fresh read more

Great longtime local authentic Italian pasta! Love the offerings for sell in this pasta shop along with sauces and sandwiches. We tried the take home bolognese sauce and eating it at home was like being back in Florence. Can't wait to go back and buy some fresh pasta and other items. read more

It's so nice to find a local Italian Deli & market. The small store is filled with great gifts, Italian specialities, wines, sweets & some prepared items. You can drop in & place your order or call it in. The folks at the counter are amazing! So friendly & helpful. They can assist in getting you some fresh Italian speciality items from their refrigerated case. I had the Eggplant Parm & it was fantastic! Rosanna's is tucked away in a small shopping area with plenty of parking. Go order some sphaget soon!! read more

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. read more

I can not tell you how many times I have gone to events with outstanding pasta dishes and asked the hostess for a recipe and been informed that they were from Rosanna's. This small pasta shop offers ready to eat pasta, pizza, sandwiches and salads. To top it off, they offer freshly made lasagne noodles, pastas, pizza dough and prepared meals ready to bake. The retail section is loaded with Italian wine and cheese along with high end products that are hard to find. To top it off, Rosanna's is a small local business. There is a reason that everyone flocks to Rosanna's Pasta shop, they are excellent. read more

Amazing fresh pasta! Small, hidden store front but once you walk in you are hit with an amazing smell of authentic Italian food! I was only there to pick up freshly made, uncooked spaghetti and looking forward to coming back to Italian sandwiches and entrees. Menu looks amazing. read more

I love everything about this place and it's been an Encinitas staple since I was a teenager when they were on 101 and it was known as the Italian market! read more

They are so great and helpful here!! I always get my fresh pasta and spicy Italian sausage here and lady fingers, sauce, ricotta! They have it all! It's quick and easy and even if j forgot something at the store they usually have it there. Great neighborhood vibe. read more

We love the sandwiches there! Always fresh ingredients and we often pick up some of their homemade pastas, sauces or gourmet snacks. The cannolis are the best in town! read more

Happened to be in the neighborhood and with good fortune pulled in front of Rosanna's. I had a far drive so could not try all the delicious pasta options from the refrigerator as they may have spoiled on the ride in traffic for 45 minutes or more. What did make it was the delicious chicken cacciatore,such a great portion with tender chicken and vegetables in a fresh tomato sauce. Not too much salt or overkill on spices. Bread was very good also. The chicken panini was crisp and generous with sliced, perfectly roasted chicken. I didn't care for the seasoning on sun-dried tomatoes, but that is a preference nothing to do with the quality. I would take the drive again and bring a cooler to try the selections of fresh pasta that looked amazing. Wish it was closer, loved the selection and imagine everything is quality as homemade with love you can tell. read more

We have been patrons of Rosanna's for many years. In addition to the amazing food, the friendly service is second to none! It's one of those rare places that you know that whatever you order is gonna be good! You can't help but to be hungry since you can smell all of the deliciousness from across the parking lot. Try adding giardinera to your sandwich - you'll thank me!! Their Italian sandwich is usually our go to order. read more

I buy their pizza dough and it makes a huge difference in the taste of my homemade pizzas. Much better than Trader Joe's dough read more

Had it not been for one of my coworkers, who walked in with a Caesar salad from this place the other day, I would never have discovered the mom and pop shop five minutes from my work! Then one of my other coworkers retiring catered lunch from here, and the trays of lasagna converted me hard. What I ordered for one lunch actually lasted me two and change... Spinach ravioli, bolognese with veggies Small Caesar salad Second time I had a fettuccine Alfredo and added veggies and chicken- it felt like holding a brick in my hands. I balked initially at the price but when I saw the amount I was given I was very happy. It tided me through lunch, my toddler's dinner, and our meal together the next day for lunch. I came back this week and even though it's a pasta shop, I just had to try their Philly sub. Omg the way they toast the bread is reminiscent of those French bread pizzas you had in childhood, but like 10 times better. So incredibly satisfying and heartwarming. The folks who work here run an efficient business but they're also very patient with first timers. And I felt welcomed back on subsequent visits- this place feels like a neighborhood institution. I'm so glad it's nearby. read more

Just come! Don't even think about any other option. Been going here since I was little and everything on the menu is amazing

All I can say is the Eggplant Parmesan is just amazing! It's one of the best Italian dishes I have ever had. We also got the spinach lasagne which was also excellent. And the House salad was fresh and enough for 3-4 people. Plus the employees are always friendly and cheerful. When I left they said Ciao lol. read more

All I can say is deeeelicious!!!. The homemade lasagna, the homemade pasta, the Marina sauce, the marinated artichokes and the sfolgiatelle!!! The place where I work out is in the same mall so I am never going to lose a pound since I go there immediately after I work out to stock up! Being a New Yorker, I am particularly fussy about my red sauce and theirs is absolutely, hands-down, the best I've had out here in Southern California! read more

Two words. Hidden gem! This place is awesome. The two sandwiches I've had here in the past two weeks have been absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is nice, all the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The selection of Italian goods are quite extensive. I will be a regular here from now on, undoubtably. read more

The cheese ravioli, meat lasagna and pizza with sausage & meatballs were all excellent! Thank you Rosanna's!

My first time there. I had the meatball sandwich and it was amazing. I'm from the east coast. This was east coast Italian all the way. I called ahead and it was ready when I got there. I will be a regular here for sure. read more

We have gone to Rosanna's for years and generally enjoy all of their food. Today's antipasto salad was exceptionally good and we got an extra 2 ounces of dressing. That was a good idea. The lasagna was a little bit cold, that's not usual so they must've been busy. It was easy to heat up. I think it's a great Italian food for the money and they are consistent, of reliable and good people. read more

Terrific food, super friendly service and fair prices, what else can I ask for? Well, how about a fun little store experience to shop in while I'm waiting for my delicious deli sandwich? Sure- we got that!! I enjoyed looking through all of the themed pasta in fun shapes (pickleball pasta!?!) Not a lot of seating, so I usually take mine home, but there are a couple of tables if you don't live nearby. Great stuff!! read more

Love #13 my favorite I have never tasted anything else but my family has and loves it all

My wife and I ordered two sandwiches to go today. They were mostly bread and shredded iceberg lettuce. Had we checked them before we left the store we would have sent them back. They brag on the menu about their meats but then give you only a couple of really thin pieces. What a ripoff, especially considering how much the sandwiches cost. We usually buy fresh pasta from this place but they've lost us as customers. read more

OBSESSED with Rosanna's. We split the meatball sub and caprese panini with prosciutto. Easily the best sandwiches I've ever had. The meatballs were juicy and well seasoned, topped with the most delicious, melty mozzarella. The caprese panini was so flavorful and all the textures, freshness from the tomatoes and basil, and heartiness of the mozzarella and prosciutto came together for each perfect bite. We also bought the bolognese and cheese ravioli in the refrigerated section to take home. Both were incredibly delicious! Friendly staff, cute little shop, amazing food. read more

This is the best place around for fresh Italian food. Everything is excellent. It smells like you are at your grandma's in Brooklyn. Great service and fair prices. read more

Had their special sandwich of the week a Cuban. I was a bit skeptical as it is an Italian deli but it was one of the best I have had. Their bread is so good and pressed into a Cuban with ham, shredded pork, cheese, pickles, and mustard it all came together perfectly. Love this place. Everything they serve is tip top. read more

Rosanna's is my go-to for comforting, high-quality Italian food. Their meatball sub is seriously one of the best in town--hearty, flavorful, and made with love. The meatballs are tender and well-seasoned, and the bread is perfectly toasted to hold it all together without getting soggy. What really sets this place apart is their selection of frozen pasta and sauces to take home. It's like bringing a little slice of Italy to your own kitchen. The frozen ravioli cooks beautifully, and the Alfredo and marinara sauces are packed with flavor! So much better than anything you'd find in a jar at the store. It makes for an easy weeknight dinner that still feels special. This isn't some overly trendy spot, it's a real pasta shop focused on quality ingredients and authentic taste read more

Always great food and service!! I popped in grabbed sandwiches for lunch and lasagna and salad for dinner. Each item was delicious. read more

Service is always good. Food is usually good but pricy. Although it's hit or miss for me with the eggplant parm. It's usually a really good meal except when I once received all eggplant skin so I stopped getting that dish. Now I just stick with the basics like pasta. Then there's the Sfogliatella today which is just plain awful. It's so crispy I can barely chew it. I'm not sure who's cooking but this isn't good. This used to be such a good treat and now I feel like I just wasted my money. Hopefully this will improve. read more

This is my second time here and it's just as good as I remember 5 years ago! The employees are very helpful and even walked me through how to place my pasta order. I started by selecting my sauce first (step 2) - then picked a pasta (step 1) - and added protein. I also ordered the 10" margherita pizza which was DELICIOUS and the perfect size for 2 ppl. We also got a large garlic bread ($5). If you love garlic, you won't be disappointed! Location. They are in the same shopping plaza as Vons, Starbucks and Pepboys - but hidden in the northwest corner of the shopping plaza (in between a nail spa and pool store). There's plenty of parking in the plaza. You can get everything from a custom pasta dish, to a panini, pizza or even a salad. You can even take home their fresh made pasta (and sauces) to cook up yourself at home. The have a huge selection, so make sure you look around! I actually forgot to order some spinach linguini to bring home, but that just gives me a reason to come back. This local, authentic Italian spot is as good as it gets! read more

A great example of why we should all support our local businesses, to keep places like this in business! They take such great care of their customers, even know many by name. Great food made fresh with fresh ingredients. Small place but they make the most out. We definitely drive a few extra miles or make an extra stop to get their marinara and fresh made pasta opposed to buying at a grocery store. Perfect stop for fabulous Italian sandwiches or pizzas as well. read more
