This Rosti location opened up in early 2010 right near the popular older outpost just down Ventura Boulevard. Open and inviting, this Italian bistro as imagined by a Californian interior designer is the perfect place for a romantic dinner or group dining experience. Think light wood tables and colorful posters on the walls, an open kitchen and a bright, welcoming feel. The menu boasts plentiful pasta choices such as goat cheese capellini marinara, gnocchi with meat sauce and bow-tie pasta with smoked salmon. Meat choices include house-specialty grilled chicken and Tuscan-style sirloin.…

  3. The food at Rosti is great.
  4. The food was good the prices are extremely high and the service was not so good either, there are better choices to go in the valley, I woul.

Great neighborhood restaurant

by saythatagain at Citysearch

The food is consistently good with so many choices that I never get bored eating at this restaurant. I am surprised that someone commented that the service is not good. I've always been happy with it, and the employees are friendly and seem to like being there - a nice change from many of the local restaurants.

Healthy and Delicious!

by SJE2010 at Citysearch

I kept hearing that Rosti in Encino was moving into a new space so when they finally opened I was excited to check it out. They moved almost across the street on Ventura Blvd still, the new space is much bigger and has a nice open vibe about it. High ceilings, tasteful decor, it looks great. Anxious to try the food, we decided to share a few options, the in-laws loved the Penne with Asparagus & Caesar Salad, I always love Hazelnuts and the Arugula and Fig Salad was perfect, lots of hazelnuts, goat cheese. etc. We also felt compelled to try the Artichoke which was yummy. The portions were great, enough to share and we even needed a few doggie bags. Check it out and see for yourself - also fan them on facebook and twitter and we'll get some cool deals!

  • Pros: Tasty Salads, Outdoor patio, Kids Menu, Free Parking

Yummy!

by kbg8 at Citysearch

My family and I visited Rosti in Encino the other night and it was really yummy! They recently moved to a new, big beautiful space almost across the street on Ventura Blvd.

My husband loves their Arugula & Fig Salad and I am a fan of Risotto, the special Asparagus and Parmesan Risotto was light and lovely! The kids were happy with their pasta, especially my daughter who can be quite finicky! A great time was had by all - and now I'm going to fan them on facebook and twitter to see what kind of cool deals I can get!

  • Pros: Fresh & Delicious, Outdoor patio, free parking!
