Firstly, great vibe walking to our table. Staff were absolutely amazing. First class service. I had the 500g Rib-eye meal. Wow is so I can say. Veges... with it was exceptional with the blue cheese sauce. Wife and kids loved their meal as well. Loved my vodka and lime drink so I had more. 😂 Overall, great experience with amazing food and awesome staff.read more

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).read more

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.read more

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.read more

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.read more

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 ; )read more

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.read more

The food is really great and the servings are generous. We took friends who hadn't been before and they all said they would be back. The wait staff... are lovely and attentive and every course came out right on time. Not too fast, not too slow. The restaurant was really busy and with that comes a bit of noise but it wasn't too bad. From outside, the restaurant is not much to look at and the decor inside could maybe do with a refresh but it's about the food and service which is top notch.read more

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.read more

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.read more

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.read more

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!read more

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/2adults)spend from $100 to $170 for a 2 hour dinner sitting. Good value great food. Well worth it!read more
