Went there with my wife, 10-year-old, and six-year-old at the end of happy hour. Got a bunch of tacos, avocado tempura, and a steak appetizer I forget the name. Tacos were all great, especially the carnitas and fish. Shrimp was good but not as satisfying as the rest. I wouldnt recommend the steak app.

We moved into the area recently, and finally got to try this neighborhood gem. There are a few Rosti locations, most notably on Montana Avenue, but I like the vibe--and the food--better at this location. The menu is chock-full of typical choices done very well. Lots of delicious pastas, salads, mains (staples such as Chicken Piccata and Chicken Milanese), Panini, Known for their rosemary roasted potatoes, a great side with some roasted veggies added. The menu is large, which is sometimes a concern, but almost everything I've tried in my few visits so far has been excellent. Portions are large and nicely done, rustic, simple, no frills. Good bread and excellent soups. My husband had a very fresh and flavorful Minestrone and I enjoyed the Roasted Butternut Squash to bring in Fall. Best to go after traffic dies down, you'll find parking is easier, unless you can walk. Service was friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. Recommended!
