Nestled in Highland Park, Rosty offers a cozy vibe and a generous menu of Peruvian classics like succulent pollo a la brasa, zesty ceviche, and flavorful lomo saltado, all served with a side of warmth.
"Splitting a rotisserie chicken at Rosty makes for a great affordable date night, on par with Lady & The Tramp going halfsies on spaghetti. And you won’t have to feign carving skills in front of someone you met on the internet either, since the smoky barbecue-like meat at this cutesy Peruvian spot pulls apart with the tug of a fork. And three colors of aji sauce adorn each table for dunking, so who knows? Maybe you’ll have your own Lady & The Tramp moment." - brant cox
"This Peruvian restaurant on the main drag of Figueroa in Highland Park has only been open since 2018 but somehow feels like it's been part of the neighborhood for decades. Rosty's menu features Peruvian staples like sweet and zesty pollo a la brasa and an excellent lomo saltado. But our go-to dish is still the la copa nostra: a massive glass goblet of mixed ceviche filled with an array of both raw and sauteed seafood in a leche de tigre that's memorably spicy." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Opened by Maritza Gomez in 2018, Rosty serves traditional Peruvian fare inspired by her mother’s restaurants in Lima. Try the ceviche, fried rice, lomo saltado, and wonderfully crispy fried yuca. Peruse the Peruvian groceries after lunch for a little something to bring home." - Eater Staff
"Rosty serves a hefty menu of traditional Peruvian fare including ceviches, fried rice, lomo saltado, and more. The anticuchos arrive smoky and tender and are an absolute must-order for those who embrace offal. The kitchen doesn’t skimp on portions so dine with a group and share everything on the table." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
