La Rosa Italian Restaurant

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.

What can I say? Perfection in Glen Eden. More than worth the drive. I can say that because I’ve been 6 times now that’s 5 dinners plus 1 lunch with a friend. Each and every single time the service was on point, instinctual in fact. Like the water was low they gave more. Checked in to make sure you’re satisfied. Drinks were regular. The food was timed just right and so too the dessert. What makes us return again and again are the food is oh so Italian delicious and the service is consistently perfect. The ambience is exciting as the acoustics provide that buzz that feels great to be out feeling. Hard to find this combination in every restaurant. Absolutely recommend to food lovers. Price expectation of a family of 4 2kids/2adultsspend from $100 to $170 for a 2 hour dinner sitting. Good value great food. Well worth it!

Lovely staff and fantastic food. I went to La Rosa to celebrate my birthday and it was totally worth it. Being a foodie, I have tried and tasted at most of the Italian restaurants and have found La Rosa to be one of the best. The slow cooked lamb is a must have. Would definitely come back! Keep up the good work!

Good little restaurant with great ambience and attentive staff. The cocktails were great, and the entrees OK, but the mains could have been better. We got the special lobster tail pasta and the lobster tail was over cooked and rubbery. I got the steak which was cooked perfectly but was just lacking that special flavour bomb. It’s definitely not a bad restaurant, and maybe we just ordered the wrong things. I’ll come back and get a pizza or non-seafood pasta next time.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The best restaurant in West Auckland. Could not recommend this place highly enough. Top quality food, service and reasonably priced. My family and I of 10 had a late Mothers Day lunch here yesterday. Our waiter had great customer service, communication and was very attentive. Thank you for making Mothers Day extra special! :

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 :

La Rosa is a beautiful restaurant situated in the heart of Glen Eden. I took my partner here for her birthday dinner and we truly believe this was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. The food was high quality, prepared quickly and was very reasonably priced. The staff were lovely and very accomodating. My partner and I shared the Arancini and Bruschetta for starters, followed by the Chicken Risotto and Pork Leg for mains, and capped it all off with cappuccino, white chocolate Parfait and chocolate lava cake for dessert. What an amazing feast! Wow! 5/5 Stars and would highly recommend this place to anyone, especially those looking to treat a loved one to a special meal! Will definitely becoming here again in the future.

Been here 5 times over the years and every single time was brilliant. These guys have a high rating for a reason and it’s stood the test of time with over 800 reviews. I proposed to my now wife here and have returned tonight for our wedding anniversary. This time I ordered garlic bread with the ‘Pollo’. A crumbed chicken stuffed with mozzarella and spinach, side of veges and buttery mashed potato. Very tasty no complaints. The staff were once again very accomodating and friendly, asking us how we were as we were seated and refilling our table water without us asking. Along with quick clearing of the table. Very good special awareness. If you want some delicious Italian food you aren’t going to find too many other places like this out West. Well done yet again La Rosa. Parking: Parking can be tricky as there’s nothing on site. You will need to hunt for one on the streets nearby.

Went there for dinner. The place and environment is so beautiful. I loved being there. Its like Italy in a little basket. The food could be a bit better . The chef was trigger happy with salt . The food was edible , however i wont go back to spend more money. Had a fabulous time overall . The staff were lovely as well. Thank you fir an amazing evening

Food is sooooo good here! Started with the meatballs entree, main was pappardelle carne ragu, and tiramisu to finish. So much yumminess - can totally understand why La Rosa is on a number of "Best Italian Restaurant" lists. Can't wait to come back maybe even tomorrow!
