“ Me and my wife celebrated our 3 year anniversary here. This was my first time eating here and I've never really ate anything Italian other than spaghetti. Boy oh boy have I missed out. The stuffed mushrooms appetizer with the sauce was truly a great start to the meal. The bread with the dip was amazing. Our entrees were the chicken milano and chicken pasta primavera and they were so so so delicious and full of flavor. I felt like my taste buds had been deprived all these years. I will definitely be returning and telling some of my friends and family on to this establishment. The atmosphere was perfect for our anniversary and the service was superb. Overall great experience. Not to mention we brought some of the goodness home because we had good size servings. 5 star in my book. My new favorite place to eat. ”
“ I dined in tonight with my husband and three daughters. Our server, Lauren, was the cream of the crop. I am legally deaf and have hearing aids. This was never disclosed to Lauren, but she picked up on it swiftly and began signing to me to talk to me. She told me she didn’t know a lot but she was trying her best. She also told me she had taught her children sign language when they were babies so they could tell her what they wanted which I thought was quite amazing. I rarely ever get to be involved in the speaking at restaurants and even her knowledge of a few signs really made me feel included. She went above and beyond to accommodate us, refilled sodas often, and removed plates promptly. Amazing server, even better mother ”
“ It was my birthday and we decided to try something new. Great food and service. The rolls are to die for and the portions are large. We will be returning. ”
“ Let me tell you, we had heard through the grapevine about this place but we had not had a chance to come until today. The service? Nikki was awesome. Personable, knowledgeable, and so very good at what she does. Drink refills without asking, gave us everything we needed, took our order and committed it to memory and everything was perfect. The food? Excellent. Even my son, who is pizza connoisseur and is not easily impressed, said his pizza was "perfection on a plate". That's a high compliment coming from him. Marinara made in house, the best calzone I've ever had and I'm from southern California originally. Fresh mozzarella, fresh tomato slices, and cheesecake to boot. Five pages of Italian cuisine to choose from. Clean restaurant and ample space. Try Roma's. You will be completely satisfied! ”
“ Food and service were amazing! I had Leana as my waitress, she was very kind and helpful. She recommended me the shrimp alveno and it was delicious. I will be returning!! :)) ”
