What to Eat
The House-Made Pasta in rotating Italian preparations is the Italian comfort food centerpiece that earns Rosine’s its downtown Monterey reputation. The Lasagna with slow-braised meat ragu and béchamel is the classic that most regulars return to specifically. The Breakfast Plates with eggs and fresh California produce are the morning option that earns Rosine’s its early crowd. The House-Made Desserts — rotating cakes and pastries — are the reason to save room. Find a Monterey hotel on Trivago.
