"Roman Wolves is more than a bar and restaurant; it's a celebration of epicurean tapestry of what Italians call the Eternal City" said Nino Cusimano. "We've created our own take on the enduring essence of Rome's legacy and it's significant historical, cultural, and culinary impacts on the Italian food scene"

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Roman Wolves offers an authentic Italian dining experience with a standout "cheese wheel pasta" and "exceptional service." The vibrant atmosphere, delicious dishes like oxtail lasagna and zucchini blossoms, and attentive staff make it a must-visit in Little Italy. Ideal for group celebrations, though it can get quite loud. Highly recommended!

    A friend and I had bar seats which is always a good time. We shared three apps and each had a pasta-which we finished today :) The cocktails were lovely, the food and service was excellent and we shall return

    I loved my experience here! Went for my bday, had wonderful service all around and the food was delicious. We had the branzino and the pasta special served in a cheese wheel. Also the zucchini appetizer. Drinks were also fabulous, I asked the server/bar to choose a drink for me and it was perfectly balanced and refreshing. Will definitely go back! Grazie Roman Wolves!

    Food was so delicious- we had the artichoke ravioli and the gnocchi alla vodka. Both were amazing, the water was also great and so was the tiramisu

    The cheese wheel was worth the money, best cheese wheel I’ve ever had. Service was amazing! The food also doesn’t make you feel super weighed down, the carbonara was the closest to Rome tasting pasta I’ve had in San Diego!

    Roman Wolves was very good. The service was excellent and knowledgeable the waiter helped us pick the wine, dinner and desert, he was spot on. I had seafood pasta with lobster, shrimp, mussels and clams, it was excellent. My wife had filet mignon, she loved it. Try it it was very good.

    This place is a real gem! Our third time here and we loved it as much as the first two - something that doesn't often occur at least in our experiences! The service is fabulous - every single one of the staff are very friendly and kind. They are all smiling and welcoming! I had a really good Lemoncelli cocktail that was light and refreshing and the rest of my party enjoyed a glass of red wine. Their food is delicious - I selected the fettuccini alfredo with chicken and it was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was really good. My husband and both of our friends chose the pappardelle pasta with Italian sausage and Bolognese sauce and they all loved it. We will definitely take more friends to this place! It's truly a great Italian gem in Little Italy!

    The food is delicious! You walk in and it’s a fun, nicely decorated ambiance. We were a larger party of 13 and had attentive and friendly service the entire meal. Everyone loved their food and will absolutely be back!

    Amazing food and service! We ordered the ragu and artichoke ravioli and were impressed by both. The portion sizes are smaller than a typical Italian restaurant but still left full (without having to carry a box of leftovers).

    The ambience is Italian, but the food--mashed potatoes?--hardly seems Roman.

    Although we stopped by for very late dinner date reservation, the staff was polite and helpful. The food was amazing.
