Roma Ristorante

This restaurant was recommended to me by the co-owner when I met him at his other restaurant, Pietros Trattoria. As I ordered my meal at Pietros, he noticed my Boston accent and introduced himself. Very friendly fellow. I asked about ordering a drink and he said they don't have a liquor license, but his other restaurant does-Roma Restaurant. I told him I would try it out the next evening. The next night I went to Romas and I am glad I did. Menu selection was incredibly diverse and not at all ordinary. Appetizers were impressive. There were so many tasty-sounding specials that night I could not remember them all. I ordered a bowl pasta fagiola, chicken fancase with spaghetti (a special that night with a slice of eggplant, ham and mozzarella topped with tomato), a dirty martini, a 10-yr old port, and slice of pecan pie....what a friggin' meal. Delicious. The place is situated right in the middle of a residential neighborhood; how they got a restaurant to locate among residential homes is probably a good story. If ever I go back to Jersey, I'll go here for dinner. more

With a great selection of appetizers, meals, and classic Italian desserts, Roma Restaurant brings back that old school Italian flavor that has been missing. The atmosphere is comfortable with a sky painted on the ceiling. The meals all come in generous portions and can satisfy the heartiest of appetites. The service is friendly and quick to cater to one's needs. Roma is not BYOB but has a varied selection of wines and spirits. Overall the prices are great for what you get. After your done you can stop for a drink at the bar and have a unique experience with the bartender. Give the Roma a shot and you won't regret it. more

This restaurant has been a family fall-back for all the years I can remember...The food is good quality Italian fare...especially the chicken francaise...which I think is one of the best renderings I've ever had... Pros: Quick seating, Inexpensive more
