I was taken to this resturant on Augs 18th by a friend who likes the restaurant. She loves that she can bring her dog when seating outside. Another friend came with us and she too brought her dog. The staff was very attentive and we did not have to wait long before we ordered. I had the Eggplant Parmasean and it was delicous. Do not understand review about portion sizes because I ended up taking half of it home for the next day dinner and it tasted just as good as the first day. Being able to sit outside and with your dog if you have one is great too. If I had a dog it would surely join me for a great dining experience.

* Food quality was very good, but the portion sizes were quite small for the prices charged. They should have been more generous. * Ordered online and the delivery via door dash was pretty quick.

Very friendly service and beautiful al fresco patio dining with real ivy vines and a calming music. Loved that there's a sign in Italian at the front that says welcome, when you enter you are like family! We went early in the morning by chance and were fortunate to have the whole, clean patio to ourselves! The carbonara, while not authentic, was incredibly delicious with a runny yolk and creamy (wine-reduced?) sauce and the texture of the linguine were perfect. The mashed potatoes in the pork dish was so smooth and the crispy potatoes in the salmon dish were so tasty. I really liked the fresh burrata salad too! It was huge with plentiful arugula. This was a healthy and delicious start to the day!

Incredible dining experience. Highly recommend to everyone looking for the best Italian in the area. The appetizers were delicious, ambiance was just right, and the staff was super welcoming. We had pasta and salmon, they were all delicious, hot and cooked just right. My favorite was the carpaccio. Soft, tender, super pink and fresh, seasoned and complemented just right with e.v.o.o, lemons, capers, and arugula. For desert, the bread pudding was the ultimate top off for the night. Must try, any time of the week. You won't regret it.

I tried the pesto penne pasta (I had customized it). The portion size was toooo much for me - equivalent to two meals lol. But it tasted really good and was accompanied with 4 slices of bread!!! Wow! Worth the bucks and the pasta and sauce were egg-free.

Roma has a nice outdoor covered patio with heat lamps and also a nice indoor set-up. Was surprised to see the teriyaki steak on the menu at an Italian restaurant but the meat was cooked well. The seafood linguini was delicious as too! Homemade Meatballs ...$18 Beef Meatballs served with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil over tomato sauce. Linguini Seafood ...$28 Prawns, scallops, rock shrimps, clams, mussels and fresh seasonal fish in spicy marinara sauce. Marinated Teriyaki Skirt Steak ...$45 With garlic mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables topped with onion rings.
