“ Loved the large pizza we got and the Greek salad with sun-dried tomato dressing. Cool place! I mean that both figuratively and literally! It was so hot that day we needed to cool off and get some food. So glad we did! ”
“ Very good food. Stopped for lunch - I had the chicken parm & my son had the lasagna. Really liked the sauce! The rolls were ok. A bit dry but - besides that everything was great. ”
“ Best surprise of our trip! Bread was addictive, chicken parm outstanding, ravioli was so good. We even really liked house dressing. Service was prompt, friendly and on top if everything. Must stop!! ”
“ Discovered this gem, and the atmosphere, decor, and service was only second to the amazing food. It's not a chain but offers an intimate dining experience. ”
“ Every detail of Roma was delightful! The old brick warehouse building makes a lovely, relaxing ambiance. Or sit on the patio for pasta al fresco. The Eggplant Parmesan was so good, with lots of sauce. I was thrilled to hear they serve gluten free penne, that can go into any dish. I tried the pesto & the pink sauce...divine! So choosing will be difficult when I visit again soon! Molto bene! ”
“ Birthday dinner, wasn't the first choice but it should have been. Great service, excellent food. We ordered the calamari which was prepared perfectly. Then chicken franchise and eggplant rollatini. Finished with canolis. Ended up ordering from there the following day. ”
“ Roma's prepared a catered dinner for 35 and did an excellent job. Their advice about quantities, suggestions for menu, etc. was spot-on. We chose two entries - grilled chicken with vegetables and spaghetti with meat balls, and salad. Their delicious rolls were included as well as salad dressings.The food was beautifully presented, bountiful, delicious, and delivered to my car with smiles and on time. They made serving a crowd a breeze! Roma's will be my go-to from now on! ”
