Well established Italian restaurant in Glen Eden. This is a popular spot so it is recommended to book using their easy online booking system. Nicely greeted at the desk and shown to the table straight away. Waitress was attentive and explained specials. Order efficiently taken and meals came out quickly. Well presented and generous portion size. Meals were delicious. Definitely recommend this restaurant to others.
A few rowdy people on the night we visited but the service and food surpassed this echo and disturbance. Absolutely loved the service from entering to leaving. The chef cooked my steak to perfection.. plus all trimmings. Cocktail 🍸 was next level, on point. Would definitely be back.
I have been to this restaurant twice now and they have delivered beautiful dishes of generous portion sizes both times. In my latest visit, I would highly recommend the Maiale and the parfait. They were such stand out dishes! The gorgonzola pizza was well-executed allowing all flavours to take the stage. The gamberi was also nice, but definitely needing the bread to soak up slightly heavy salted garlic/herb oil. I’d prefer the ragu to have a bit more depth of flavour, also.
Overall a great experience and addition to good West Auckland spots. Lovely service and great ambiance. I would recommend to book just in case it gets quite busy (which was the case in my last visits).
Most amazing staff, the food was incredible and the atmosphere was cozy and bustling but not overpowering or too loud, definitely well worth coming here and I will absolutely be back, many thanks to the wait staff and kitchen staff for the amazing service and fantastic food! Highly recommend

I dunno where my review went but I've definitely written before about how great this restaurant is. Any special occasion we have, we always go to La Rosa. This is Italian at its best and we've been to many. Three words to sum it all up...VERY LOVELY & DELICIOUS! Hang on that's four ; )
This Italian restaurant is quite enjoyable. It boasts a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that sets the tone. The staff members are friendly and contribute to the positive vibe. The food they serve is quite good, and they offer appealing lunch deals.
I opted for the spaghetti shrimp (Gamberi) and the polo. The pasta in the polo dish was cooked just right, and the chicken tasted fresh. However, the creaminess was a bit overpowering and heavy. It might be better to use a lighter cream or reduce the amount. The Spaghetti was also well-prepared, with perfectly cooked shrimp. The only drawback was that the garlic flavor was a bit stronger than desired. Using a knife to cut the garlic, rather than a garlic crusher, might help balance the flavor better. The garlic bread was a highlight, being both flavorful and crunchy.
On the whole, the experience was pleasant, and I'd like to extend my thanks to the chef for their efforts.
Have been here several times. Just back for a dinner meal recently. As usual, a great place with pleasant environment. Crowded, so booking is absolutely necessary. Service was friendly and the food was awesome. Keen on Italian food? This place is recommended. You will not be disappointed.
Amazing service, food and ambiance! I finished my pasta all by myself which speaks volume of how much I liked it. This is definitely one of the top restaurants that we dined in.
I would definitely come back with the family again :)
Amazing service. Food was OK, didn't knock it out of the park for us. Lovely ambience and very busy restaurant.
The restaurant is located at the corner and the reservation is a must before you go there. We ended up taking a Take Out due to that and ordered Pasta in Creamy Sauce with vegetables and no sesame, folks were welcoming to our special dietary and customization request and it turned out to be one of the best pasta we had in the area.
They had a bunch of other vegetarian options as well apart from Pasta and could be a good place for anyone looking for a fancy dinner.
