We used Roma as our venue for our rehearsal dinner and as the caterer for our wedding in September. Sal and the whole staff were so beyond kind, caring, and helpful making our wedding weekend incredibly special! They took the time to plan with us throughout the process and worked hard to meet the allergy needs of myself and some of our guests! We could not have asked for a better experience! (Wish I had more photos to share!!!)

Imagine succulent salmon fillets grilled to perfection, infused with the tangy zest of lemon butter that tantalizes your taste buds with each bite. The richness of the buttery sauce complements the delicate salmon, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. As you savor each morsel, the burst of briny capers adds a delightful contrast, enhancing the overall depth of the dish. Accompanying the salmon are plump, tender mussels bathed in a luxurious garlic butter sauce. With every spoonful, the aroma of garlic fills the air, inviting you to indulge in its savory essence. The velvety texture of the butter coats each mussel, amplifying their natural sweetness and creating a harmonious blend of flavors. Together, the lemon butter grilled salmon and butter garlic mussels create a culinary masterpiece that is both comforting and exquisite, leaving you craving for more with every unforgettable bite. That is my experience though

MEATBALLS ARE AMAZING maybe list on menu about appetizers coming out all at once so there is no confusion about selecting one or the other per person? Only reason why I list 4/5 for atmosphere is due to no door in back dining room compared to the front as there were times background noise disrupted conversation and hard to hear from main dining room (not sure really if there is a solution to that with fire safety)

I recommend this restaurant to all my friends who are at risk of a heart attack - the kitchen is so careful with salt that I had to become best friends with the salt shaker! The food is delicious, but clearly made with a cardiologist's approval in mind. Thankfully, they provide salt shakers at every table for rebels like me who enjoy living on the edge. My doctor would be proud of how healthy the food is... until he sees how many times I reached for that salt shaker!

Excellent Italian. Delicious food, friendly staff and waiters. Price isn't too bad either tbh. Only thing was it was kinda dark in there. But besides that, probably my favorite Italian place I've ever been. Btw, if you love pasta GET the TOUR OF ITALY! It's fantastic. It's ALLOT though, but worth it.

We held our wedding ceremony and dinner in the Tuscan Room at Roma's. Room setup was easy, food was amazing, and service was outstanding. Our wedding 'cheesecake' was divine. Thanks to Phil and all the staff that made our event so special.

I took my daughter here for dinner. We ordered a large pizza with black olive and pepperoni. The pizza was very good. The sauce was not too sweet, nor was it too pungent. The flavor was good. There was a good amount of cheese on the pizza as well. It came out fast and we were both happy with the food. The crust was crispy on the "pizza bone" and soft yet firm enough to be able to hold and or fold for the main portion of the slice. The music was wonderful, it was new style songs played in a classical way. Kudos to your choice in music stations.

We decided to do a dinner party gender reveal and the management and staff did an amazing job from start to finish. The tables were set per my request to allow space for me to decorate within their standards. The food was delicious and our servers were very attentive. My family and quest truly enjoyed themselves. I wound highly recommend this location for your next private dinner party.
