“ We always enjoy visiting Roma Ristorante. Great ambience, very nice inside. Last night we started with bruschetta-very good. My wife had the cavetelli with pomadoro sauce which was excellent and I ordered the twin porkchops with sweet and hot peppers and potatoes which was also excellent. Every time we visit our meals, drinks and service are excellent, our favorite restaurant! ”
“ Amazing Italian food! Loved the ambience and the vibe. Delicious food and drinks. Great service as well. Really intimate! ”
“ In the mood for clam chowder my mom and I stopped in for a quick lunch at the bar. It was amazing. The music was upbeat. The crowd was helpful- although I was asking strangers questions (which could be interepted as intrusive). That was not the case here. I don't typically finish my food (very slow eater) but I ate all of clam chowder in one sitting. I ordered the calamari as to accompany my soup. They were superb. The freshest, lightest, yet satisfying calamari I've had in some time. The portion size is huge. My mom ordered chicken parm and she was impressed. My sister had some of her leftovers and asked where did we go because she had to dine there! Itook calamari home and my 8 and 9 year old devoured the leftovers I warmed lightly in the air fryer. I plan to come back for a romantic dinner or maybe even solo date. I was told reservations are reccommended. ”
“ My husband wanted Italian for his birthday and thankfully I stumbled upon this lovely restaurant here on yelp! The space has a great ambiance and we were seated in a stunning room with a fireplace. The decor is beautiful and the wine room looked absolutely spectacular. The service was excellent and our server was so nice. We got plenty of appetizers to try and portions are so generous! Everyone loved everything! I especially loved their house made cavatelli. Our only regret is not saving room for dessert! One of the owners, Tommy, is so friendly and came to our table at the end of our meal and it was a great personable touch. Roma is great for night out with family and friends or a romantic date night spot. We cannot wait to come back! ”
“ This place was highly recommended by one of our coworkers, and I absolutely loved it. All the food that we got were amazing. By the time we got to our main entrees, we were already full and took the rest home. The service was great, but the only thing I will say is that it took over an hour since we got sat to get our main entrees. The vibes of the restaurant were great! I love the dimmed light, fancy restaurant feeling. ”
“ Work Christmas party took us to Roma Ristorante. 4/5 The ambiance was so beautiful. We were in a room with two other large groups, which meant it was loud. The room was beautiful though. The service was great but slow. It was a Tuesday night with one waitress handling three large tables, so I don't hold that against them. The waitress we had was very kind and went above and beyond for us. The food... For apps we tried the calamari, stuffed mushrooms, and Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts stole the show there with the calamari a close second. The stuffed mushrooms felt like they needed some more seasoning. The entres, personally I had the rigatoni Al la vodka and added ricotta, hubby had the seafood pasta (a special) and the other dish was my aunts handmade pasta dish. Over all the food was delicious. The scallops on the seafood dish were amazing. For dessert, we tried the cannolis and the Godiva cheesecake. Overall a great experience and I would definitely go back. ”
“ After hearing about Roma for years, I finally smartened up and checked it out. We were greeted warmly at the door by Tom, one of the owners. Staff were friendly and attentive. The menu has good variety, but not diluted into every known Italian dish. Instead, Roma focuses on quality dishes of pasta, veal, chicken, with tantalizing app's and a few add-on sides. We had a 'bigga meatball' (pic), stuffed figs+prosciutto, then fresh Cavatelli (mine was sausage fra diavolo), followed by killer Tiramisu. Truthfully, after the meatball app, i dove in and forgot to take pic's because all was so good - I promise to update on next visit, which will be soon :-) ”
