We looked forward to dining here with some friends, but we were not impressed, not sure I would go back. We had 5:30 reservations, so we were early, but the drink order took 15 minutes to deliver wine. My wife ordered the Prix Fix dinner. The calamari appetizer was just ok, the butternut squash ravioli were good. However, the entree Osso Buco Milanese was terrible. It was extremely fatty (note before/after pictures and the sauce had a terrible metallic flavor. I mentioned this to the waiter & he said hed pass it along to the chef, one could only hope. I had the ravioli with spinach with mixed mushrooms ravioli with black truffle sauce which were good. We also had to request black pepper for our salads and to have grated Parmesan on our pasta. At an Italian restaurant they should just offer, you neednt have to ask.

Amazing atmosphere, and friendly staff. The chicken Parmesan was phenomenal. the tortelli De Zuca was good, but it was way too sweet it’s ravioli filled with a candied squash. But aside from that I truly enjoyed my visit and will return when I come back to the area.

We eat here often for dinner. It’s very good and they are great with my husbands allergies.

It was a really pleasant dinner. Service was pleasant and prompt.12 weeks later:Tonight was very different. Service was very slow. Sat us at an unbussed table. They brought out a cheap wine instead of what I ordered. Inflexible on dish preparation. The waiter could not pronounce the names of the specials. They get one more meal to prove themselves. So disappointing.

Antipasti was good. I had the steak and it was delicious. Panna cotta was warm but hey, who doesnt screw up once in a while. I still ate it or rather, drank it 🤪

We went with another couple and dinner and conversation was lovely. My husband tried the soup, a lovely tomato potato bisque and I had the beet salad. Both were very good. Our friend tried the Mahi Mahi special served with roasted potatoes which was so good she finished it all. Her husband had thin spaghetti with bolognese sauce that he enjoyed as well. My husband had chicken with potatoes and carrots. He said it was moist and very well cooked. I had squash Ravioli with white sauce that was perfect. We had a creme brulee and canolli for dessert. Our waitress was very friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. It will be a go to spot.

Everything was wonderful from the moment I arrived. Just across a small divided street from the Amtrak station, it is a feeling of comfort from the start. Friendly and welcoming staff and a lovely ambiance await just inside. The food is delicious!

Excellent experience! The food was great, atmosphere was comfortable, and the service was outstanding. Would recommend Cafe Roma for any special occasions. Prices are a little high, but the all around quality represents why.

The food was amazing and to die for. The servers were nice. If you make a reservation they find you a table when you get thier, instead of reserving one for you. The building was beautiful and the atmosphere immaculate.

Marco and Saro embody their father and mother’s true power and passion of Italian hospitality. The restaurant is beautifully appointed and welcoming! Chef Carlo is a diamond!
