Via Roma

a lot of care into the preparation of the dishes and the service is excellent as well. Special call out to Alecia who has taken great care of us the last couple of visits. We are so happy to have a dining option like Via Roma in our neighborhood!

there were some delays on a couple of meals but only by a few minutes. The manager stopped by and told us about the history of this place. Of course I remember it being the old Carrie Cerino’s which always held good memories. He even showed us the event spaces which combined could hold upwards of 450. One room could hold 320 while the other 120+. They have a basement lounge which is cool. Safe to say this place will be a regular spot for me.

server, Alecia, was absolutely top tier! She was super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about all things Via Roma. I had originally looked over the menu online, but thanks to her salesmanship, we completely changed course and I’m soooo glad we did! She recommended the fritto misto to start, which was phenomenal. The house-made focaccia bread was perfectly baked and full of flavor. My dad, visiting from California, ordered the veal tortellini which was super flavorful and honestly something I would’ve ordered myself. I went with the Parmigiano with chicken and pomodoro, which was to die for! The chicken was perfectly breaded and bursting with flavor. My son had the braised short ribs, and the creamy polenta they came with was hands down one of the best I’ve ever tasted! I literally couldn’t resist stealing bites! The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the cocktails were fantastic! Via Roma is truly a hidden gem. I’d recommend it to anyone…whether you’ve been before and need to revisit the new menu, or if it’s your first time, this place is worth it. Everything was perfect, start to finish!

Everything was cooked perfectly, delicious, flavorful, everyone was attentive to our needs. We got to try their new menu before anyone else and it was fantastic. Compared to the first time, this experience was above and beyond and convinced us to come back. We gave compliments to the chef, and we will be back now after this experience. Thank you for a lovely evening and taking the time to make sure your clients are happy that meant so much to us. Changed my 1 star up. So extremely disappointed. There were 8 of us, all excited to try this heard some good things and some bad but wanted to try for ourselves. We will never be back after our first time. Everything was so expensive for very basic food. They claim it's all made in house. There's NO way it is and if it truly is, they need to do better. All of the baguettes used for any appetizer or salads were rock solid we banged them on the plates that's how hard they were. Their cheese and meat platter they do not list everything that is on the plate which they should because we were unaware blue cheese comes in it and someone in our party is highly allergic. The cocktails could be better. The 2 breads they bring our for the table one is cheese one is plain, they're not warm they're cold. They give you butter with a oil on it and a olive mix which wouldn't be bad if the bread could be spread on the bread couldn't even do that. The main courses, mine was okay was the classic bolagnase with steak, the steak was chewy and mostly fat but was cooked correctly. We had a seafood risotto that wasn't that great as well as the lobster pasta. Veak marsala says it comes with a herb pasta all it is is a what seemed like butter noodles with cilantro. Dessert was okay, but definitely not what a torte is cheesecake could've been better too. Our table was very wobbly and to make up for it they gave us more dessert which we didn't really want. When asked about the house salad, I asked if we could get Caesar and they said yes for a upcharge that upcharge turned into full price. Not acceptable you need to tell people that it is full price and not state upcharge there's a very big difference in pricing there and we wouldn't have gotten that if we would've known. We were just over the whole experience even the checks some things were put on the wrong person's check but we just wanted to leave so didn't want to wait to change it. It seems like they are trying too hard to be authentic Italian food and it clearly isn't. Even the dressing for the Caesar there's no way that was house made, tasted like from a bottle. It has a very distinct flavor when it's freshly made this wasn't it. The atmosphere is nice it's a gorgeous place but trying to constantly remind you everything is house made, pushing it made it very clear it actually isn't. Very expensive for basic dishes. Edit: my mom got food poisoning from her dish the seafood risotto

olive oil, but with butter. I had the tagliatelle al vongole. Mussels in white wine sauce . With this food, it's all about the fresh ingredients and fresh preparation. I doubt that my food was freshly prepared. The pasta had certainly been boiled beforehand. Unfortunately, far too much salt was used. I also had the feeling that there was cheese in the food. That is to say, the normal fine elegance of this meal, with the fine taste of the mussels was not identifiable. My companions had a salad, which was very good, and pasta with meatballs. They were both very satisfied. For me, the restaurant was allowed to celebrate Italian cuisine a little more authentically.
