“This was our first time dining in Olive Garden (recommended by one of our friends) and we really liked it a lot. All the dishes were tasty, full of flavors. Their bread were so warm and fresh - very good in taste. We would definitely visit again soon and make this restaurant chain in our regular visiting list 🙂“

“We stayed in Visalia, CA while enjoying Kings Canyon and Sequoia Nat. Parks. We decided to try Rosa's Italian Restaurant and it did not disappoint. We felt the portions were good size and everything was delicious: homemade bread, garlic cheese bread, salad with the house dressing, meat ravioli. My husband had the trio with the ravioli, lasagna, and fettuccine Alfredo. If we lived local we would definitely make this a regular stop.“

“Absolutely outstanding. Had the Brussel Sprout appetizer and the Beef Stroganoff. Both had amazing flavor. Our server Aunika was very attentive, friendly and professional. Highly recommended.“

“This place is a wonderful gem in Visalia! We came as soon as they opened at 4 pm and had a wonderful experience. The pasta dishes were delicious and the garlic bread they give was so good (were hungry and already dug in before I took the pictures), and the servers were very attentive and friendly. We would absolutely return if we were in the area again.“
