I love the location and the food is amazing, but the history and traditions that brought it all here are worthy of telling. Established in Pismo Beach in 1988 Rosa’s son Douglas (Cristallo) MacMillan manned the kitchen. He was raised in his mom’s restaurant kitchens in the Central Valley and at home, but he also studied on his own and chefed at the Quo Vadis restaurant in Turin, Italy. Rosa came from Bonito, Italy, locted in the south central Apennines, where the region has always been strong in tomato sauces, olive oil, fresh vegetables, pasta and seafood dishes. Douglas brought the influences of Northern Italian cuisine, which traditionally features more meat dishes and the use of butter and cream. This combination has produced an award - winning chef who delights diners with his use of the finest quality ingredients! Ciao for now!
