The 13 Best California Restaurants Featured On Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. By Mona Bassil June 2026
"If you're craving quality, home-style American and Italian favorites while exploring California's stunning Central Coast, then maybe you should give Rosine's a try. Among other honors, this beloved, family-owned establishment has nabbed multiple awards from Monterey Herald Readers' Choice. These include best restaurant in the city, best comfort food, best burgers, best family-friendly dining, and best dessert selection.
Guy Fieri, for one, was quite impressed with the house-made lasagna, layered with meat sauce, ground beef, and a decadent, creamy blend of four cheeses. He also appreciated the substantial minestrone soup, which includes unexpected and filling ingredients such as shredded beef and cabbage. It's easy to see why this spot's generous list of desserts, too, receives so much praise. First, they're all freshly prepared on a daily basis. Second, the selection spans specialty cream pies and cream cakes, traditional cakes, cheesecakes, cookies, brownies, and custard. According to diners, one giant slice may actually be enough for a party of four.

Guy Fieri brought the "Triple D Effect" — along with his appetite and appreciation of authentic and inventive flavors — to these beloved Golden State spots.
