This quaint resto serves the best authentic Italian food I have tried so far. I ordered their Parmigiana for take out and loved it at first try. Then on my dine in experience tonight, I got to try their Diavola with 120 years sourdough which is truly remarkable compared to other Italian restos' pizza in Metro Manila. Another favorites are their Tiramisu and Roasted Pistachio gelato! Best legit Italian food I experienced at a very affordable price.

Been waiting for this restaurant to open. Loved everything we ordered but the standout for us was the Pesto Pasta and the pizzas (margherita + all meat). We also liked the gelato, the flavors really come through. Service was exceptional too, they gave us free hot honey and attended to us quickly. Of course we wish they could have a bigger dine in area (only two small tables for two people) and parking (street parking on a busy street) but even without these, we will definitely come back for the food!

If you’re looking for a truly authentic taste of Italy, Rosa Italian Goodness is a must-try. Since it’s owned by an Italian chef, the flavors are remarkably genuine. They focus mostly on to-go and online orders since wala silang indoor area. May limited al fresco dining naman sila, so you might need to plan your visit. All in all, sobrang nasarapan kami sa lahat ng inorder namin. Babalik kami for sure!

We heard about Rosa online and wanted to try it out. It was in an unusual location, which made it a hidden gem from those who are not from the area. We ordered real pistachio and limone e latte gelatos. And to say that expectations were met is an understatement. The gelatos were reasonably priced and the taste is genuine. They also serve pastries, pastas and pizzas. We will surely try them next time.

The food was absolutely delicious and well worth the price. The pasta was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the portion size made it feel like great value for money. To top it off, the gelato was perfect—creamy, rich, and incredibly yummy. Overall, the quality and taste easily justify the reasonable prices. Would definitely come back again!

This place is a charming little Italian spot in the middle of the Barangka-Ibaba scene. The decor is definitely inviting and lovely, although seating is limited (probably for now?) and it’s located right by the roadside. We tried the Stracciatella (vanilla with Belgian chocolate bits) and the Frutti di Bosco (mixed berries), and both were absolutely delicious. The gelato was incredibly creamy, smooth, and churned well. The Stracciatella had that rich, milky base with generous chocolate pieces, while the Frutti di Bosco was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. If you’re around the area and craving affordable and well-made gelato, this place is definitely worth stopping by
