I know a lot of people who frequent this establishment who rate it as one of the best italian restaurants that they go to. I have to say that these people do have good taste but I have to say my experience there seriously... (more)

If you can't go to Italy, go to Roma Cafe. The staff is great and the food is wonderful. Did I mention how cheap? You will not believe your eyes. Valet service too. (more)

This place was awesome! We felt right at home, and didn't want to leave. My boys were even comfortable here. We ended up having two of the Veal Gourmet, which gave us more than enough food for four and it only cost $66 !... (more)

The Roma meal I had would not qualify it for Best Italian by a long shot. My veal dish was a commercially-prepared veal-like chunk. Reminded me of the "fused" chicken at Wendy's. I liked the atmosphere, but would not... (more)
