“ Our group of nine dined here last Sunday at 7 p.m. The place was quite empty, and we were a bit worried. However, our waiter, Paul, took great care of us. He was attentive and friendly. My family had Penne Vodka with Chicken, and the weekly specials: Shrimp ala Sambuca Pasta and Chicken Rotisserie Teriyaki Skewers. All three dishes were delicious. My Shrimp Sambuca pasta was perfectly seasoned, with a generous amount of lightly creamy sauce. Our friends also enjoyed their dishes. All main courses came with a fresh salad and rolls. The ambiance was cozy and pleasant, with statues, lamps, and a sky mural on the ceiling. The interior looks much nicer than the exterior. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely return the next time we're in the area. ”
“ Great restaurant with friendly staff. I usually get their chicken Parmesan sub, but tried their specialty shrimp scampi pasta. It was soo delicious! Definitely a new favorite. ”
“ Family hasn't been here since pre covid before nana passed, but after the last family dinner restaurant had... Issues... We decided to come back. Ago glad we did! There was a keyboard player (don't sit right next to him unless you have a large party, but he's good!) I usually get the lobster ravioli, which is amazing, but I tried the seafood pasta for a change and it was also delicious! Of the appetizers, I've never had a bad one. We usually use the bread for a dip after we run out of whatever chips the dip comes with and turn down more chips. The server was also very attentive, gave some great drink recommendations, turns out she's the bartender wh occasionally has server shifts. Overall, this place is one I'm happy to say made ity through covid, and I'm even more happy I came back. ”
“ I ordered from the restaurant via Uber Eats. I ordered the half size of the spaghetti along with a meatball. The order came with a nice side salad and fresh roll. All of the food was fresh and delicious! The salad was a nice mix of greens with tomato, red onion, and one olive. The bread was very flavorful. The pasta with meat sauce was delicious as was the meatball. I ordered half a portion and it was huge - enough for two people. I will definitely order from the restaurant again. ”
“ Past numerous visits I found the food on a scale of 1-10 at least an 8 or 9. The last visit I had the chicken cacciatore and it was a bit watery, taste was affected by that watery sauce. Service has always been level 9/10 especially during the Gideon meetings. No problem with the ambiance, always clean and typical Italian motif. ”
“ Roma is a reliable consistent Italian restaurant / Pizzeria. You can expect the food, service, ambience and value to always meet expectation. When dining in, the atmosphere is pleasant and spacious. This is not just a pizza shop, they also have great Italian entrees as well. The table and booth layout provides plenty of room. The decor is pleasant and kind of upscale. Roma is a great place to have a conversation with your meal so it's perfect for meeting friends. They recently expanded their menu and now provide new exciting appetizers, entrees and desserts. If you visit on Wednesday, wine bottles are half price. They have a few beers on tap along with some bottle choices as well. They have a decent assortment of liquor so they can make most mixed drink cocktails. The bathrooms are always clean and there's plenty of parking. There's even an outdoor patio area if you prefer to dine outside. ”

“ I went to this restaurant for a business meeting and had to choose something to eat so I tried a cheese calzone. I was hoping for a vegan option but didn't see any on the menu, so I landed here. The calzone was good, just a lil too oozing cheese for my liking, but it tasted great. They also gave us really soft, warm, complimentary bread that was very good. Also, my ceasar salad was pretty good as well. I will definitely go back another time to see if there are any specials I can try. ”
