The Roma is a throwback, classic American Italian restaurant located in the heart of the West End on Congress St, that pays tribute to the great American Italian restaurants of decades past.

Roma provides very good Italian food that is a cut above basic options that many Italian theme restaurants offer. Having a chef from Italy is a real treat. We have been there a few times, and found that the menu changes, which is a good way to offer variety.

Excellent food. Martinis are very small. Service is good. Disappointing that for a 5:30 seating on a Saturday evening they would be out of the catch of the day.
