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

Sooooo delicious I would definitely come back Did not take long either Super organized and clean spot Service was fast and easy 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

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

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 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

Rosanna's Pasta Shop - Homemade cheese pizza - Italian Near Me - Encinitas, California

Ten years ago, I first tried Rosanna's the quality still remains. This trip, I got the lasagna, garlic bread, and spaghetti for my family. What better way to dive into this meal than going 15 minutes away to the beach. My food was still hot! As I took my first bite, the perfectly layered lasagna melted in my mouth. The flavors and spices excited my tastebuds. This is a must try when you're in North SD! read more

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

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

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

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

Hadn't tried their sandwiches in awhile hung up on their eggplant dish which we love so dived in to several regular Italian sub and sausage sub just great, the service and help first class, and who doesn't like the look and smell of a first class Italian deli. Next going to try some take home pasta. 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

The food Is homemade and delicious. I've been going to this shop since they were down town Encinitas. Service is very friendly. Love their focaccia read more

Great pasta shop with fresh food and friendly service! I usually purchase the fresh marinara sauce, meatballs, and pasta to make dinner at home. 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

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

I don't know how I haven't reviewed this place yet. This little shop has the best pasta! My favorite is the creamy pesto and vodka sauce, with rigatoni. All their pasta is made fresh and absolutely amazing. There isn't much space to eat there, so it's best to get to go. They also have great options for frozen pastas to make at home, and fresh sauces if you'd like to cook at home. They also have cheese, some desserts and a little Italian food shop inside. The people that work here are always very friendly. This is my absolute favorite place to get pasta! They also have GREAT catering if you are having a party, food is so reasonably priced for just how delicious it is! read more

The sandwich is awesome but little mom and pop shop is the best. Super great homemade food options to eat there or buy and cook at home. Staff is nice and friendly! They even made a last minute sandwich for me as the kitchen was closing. I had the mushroom risotto in a bag that I cooked at home. Amazing!! Defintely is a go to place now!! read more

One of the best Italian pasta shops that has the wide variety everything you need when cooking an Italian meal whether it's as simple as a dessert or complex is a great Italian pasta sundae sauce read more

Amazing quality food! So delicious- i ordered a chicken cacciatore catering tray for a dinner party and was really impressed. Everyone went back for seconds! Definitely a local gem read more

Great place to enjoy Italian food. I love the lasagna, paninis, wine selections and pastas. All the staff is friendly and great customer service. Definitely recommend! 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

Definitely tops when it comes to sauces. We ordered a lasagna and veggie baked rigatoni. Both were flavorful and delicious. We will be ordering again. read more

What a find! I had a fresh pasta emergency as I was driving down to San Diego and Rosanna's was on the way to my destination. I took a chance and stopped by and was thrilled! It smelled so good in there and they had so many different kinds of parta available. We selected some regular spaghetti and it turned out great. Highly recommend! read more

Came to Rosanna's looking for some good spaghetti and we were not disappointed. The portion was generous and the taste was outstanding. Great customer service and Italian food items to take home. read more

We get the lasagne often and homemade pasta. One circle is perfect for two and I freeze one for later so we have homemade pasta ready to eat. Always good. I've done big trays of lasagne for parties too and it's always so amazing. Love this place!! read more

Rosanna's has a great recipe - simple but very well done mix n match pasta varieties and sauces. The quality is there in the ingredients and our family has found there's something for kids and adults alike - we are regular takeout fans. Personally love their Vodka sauce with a broad pasta like Linguine or Fettucine. Well recommended. read more

Order at a counter. A few tables outside and a counter to eat at inside. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Tables were dirty but they cleaned it when I asked for a napkin to wipe it off. Shared two dishes with a friend - eggplant parm and mushroom ravioli. They kindly split the dishes into containers to share. Decent size portions and tasty, but expensive for size/quality - each was $14 and change... read more

While you wait for your sushi and mendocino sandwich, consider that small tucked away "Pasta Shop" for lunch. It keeps its door wide open and welcoming, so you might not notice the word 'sandwiches' concealed behind it... and that huge pillar. It's a shame! I hadn't for 6 years and might've just had one of the best sandwiches ever since moving here (the spicy turkey special if you're wondering). Give it a try if you like italian food, and just good sandwiches, or meatball subs- I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

Great service with very friendly employees !! Outdoor seating limited with like 4 tables but could always take to go !! Super excited they have frozen ravioli to make at home including Gluten Free !! Loved the pizza and company enjoyed the spaghetti with tasty meatballs . Will definitely eat here again and get take out. Have a small but robust mini market with Italian goodies read more
