Rosa's Ristorante Italiano

Awesome food, great atmosphere, impeccable service.  Yes, we found our Italian Restaurant for this area.  Recommended by a park manager, we decided to try Rosa's Ristorante Italiano on a rainy Friday night here.  What could be better than comforting pasta on Jim's night to cook?  He's happy.  I'm happy.  Put this on your bucket list of restaurants for the next time you come to Pismo Beach.

Jim tried the lasagna and I took the butternut squash ravioli.  We splurged on calories and shared an appetizer of a mozzarella cheese ball with a marzipan center served atop a crusty slice of French bread surrounded by diced tomato and roasted pepper slices in a balsamic vinegar reduction.  Yummy.  Here's their website:  www.rosasrestaurant.com 

(and yes I am smiling too.  I just have a mouth full of ravioli!)
