Roma Restaurant

Our first experience at Roma involved a takeout order that didn't go well due to confusion. Now, this has become our go-to local Italian joint. The Fetticini Alfredo is excellent. It is what we usually order. Everything we have tried has been good. The service is always great, the dining room and bathrooms are clean. The prices are inline with the quantity and quality of the meals. If you haven't tried it yet I would recommend it.

Once you've had homemade pasta, you can't really forget about it. The noodles are so tender and soft. This kind of experience launches a quest to find Italian joints that have invested in this process. I'd seen some good reviews about Roma and one night for delivery, it finally happened. My hubby and I ordered shrimp alfredo, meatballs, shrimp & scallops diavolo, a house salad and some extra alfredo sauce. It was pricy but most good things that you feed yourself are. Delivery was quick so we unpacked everything and got to plating!My diavolo was excellent. Homemade linguine, spicy marinara with depth of flavor and full of shrimp and bay scallops. The garlic knots were good too - if you're into the bread. My hubby loved his alfredo and didn't need the side of sauce. He couldn't finish it. We had to try the meatballs. Again, blown away with the homemade meatballs (mostly pork, I think) and a terrific marinara. I had so much that I saved half my linguine, poured the leftover marinara from the meatballs into a container. I froze that with the intention to eat it for lunch some day. That day was today. You can tell the noodles are homemade because during the reheat, they break apart as you stir them. I added some fresh basil and red pepper because I like it hot and it was absolutely perfect.Do your mouth a favor. Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food!

Our first time at Roma was a good one. The chicken piccata was very flavorful and had lots of capers (which I love). The chicken could've been pounded out a little thinner but that's just personal preference. The cheese ravioli were nice and cheesy. They were still sizzling when they got to the table. The dinner rolls were soft and served with butter. The Caesar dressing wasn't my favorite, next time I'll try the house dressing for sure. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was not a large crowd but probably because we came for an early dinner on a Thursday evening. P.S. it's BYOB so don't forget to bring your favorite wine!

We heard a ton of great things about Romas so we finally stopped in for lunch. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The salad was great!! House dressing was perfect!! My friend got the spaghetti and meatballs and he loved it! (So much that I never got a bite. JERK). I got the trio and it was great! My husband got the same but swapped out the spinach ravioli for cheese. He loved his just as much! When comparing the prices of Romas to other Italian places nearby, Roma's wins HANDS DOWN! Great prices and great food!! All in all, it was a great place!! We will definitely be back again!

We have been hearing about this place and we're so glad to do a quick meet up with friend for dinner. The food here is top notch h and it's BYOB which I happen to love because I don't prefer Italian wine. Beautiful rolls come to your table. We had the calamari which was crispy and very fresh. All of the entrees were very well seasoned and served piping hot. They have some different selections here too and do not miss the lemoncella cake. Take a slice home to mamma. She'll love it. Super clean and a great addition to Hickory Creek. Molto bene!

This newly opened Italian restaurant is a bit out of the way but should be a good addition to the area and a good replacement for the Mexican restaurant that occupied the space before.My wife and I decided to celebrate her birthday by going out to discover new places, as we have just moved to the Northern Suburbs of Dallas.As we pulled in for our 6:00 reservation (I called to verify BYOB due to others' comments and we were told that we were the first being allowed to make a reservation) this past Saturday night, it seemed like a convoy of cars was following up into the parking lot. From the parking lot, one other guest asked me "Is it still BYOB?" I told him that that was what I was told. Entering the front door, the reception area had a couple of customers there picking up takeout. One server asked me how many and we said two, but we had a reservation. Another server came to us and said "Yes. I know who you are. Your table is over there with 2 menus." We walked over to the lovely table in the window, with a view of the I-35 retainer wall.Faux white tablecloths, a lovely glass bowl decorative arrangement, 2 bread plates, each with a rolled red napkin on top. One server came to us and asked if they could bring us something to drink. We brought our own wine and requested water with lemon. As the bottle was being opened, the server asked if we would like to start with an appetizer. We ordered the calamari and were served a basket of homemade dinner rolls. When the calamari was served, we were both sadly disappointed. I am not sure if there was some serious mistake, but this was the very worst calamari I have ever had ever attempted to eat. Each ring was crunchy from the inside. All the moisture had been cooked out of each piece. The breading on each piece was way too thick and crunchy. The plate was accompanied by a lemon half and a nice red sauce. Anytime I go to a new restaurant, it is the calamari that I start my judgment to expect what the rest of the meal will be like. I was now asking myself if I had made a huge mistake bringing my wife there for her birthday.We ordered eggplant parm 2 Caesar salads and shrimp scampi, both entrees would be shared at the table (see pictures below). When the eggplant arrived, we served each other and were very happy. The three very thick medium-sized medallions were properly battered with bread crumbs and baked perfectly, topped with mozzarella cheese, which was all served on a bed of spaghetti with a delightful red sauce that had perfectly cooked pits of tomato, filling the sauce with a wonderful richness. A server assistant who spoke no English motioned to us if we would like to take the third median and the rest of the past home with us. She brought us a standard styrofoam entree-sized box.When our salads arrived, the dressing was an industrial brand that had a sweetness to it that hid any flavoring of anchovies, had any been added at all. The croutons were industrial packaged as well. And the romaine lettuce was bright green, yet wilted by being out too long. Score 0 for the salad course. When the scampi arrived (5 jumbo shrimp, served with a pink sauce on a bed of linguini), again we served each other and found the "scampi" flavorful, although not tasting like any scampi I had ever experienced.Our server then came to us and told us that we should choose any one dessert item on the menu. We chose the limoncello cake. When presented, there was an artistic drizzle of caramel sauce (bottled?) and a small slice of the cake with a birthday candle on top. Lovely. The cake was memorable, yet again I question if it came out of a box from Sysco. We saw a couple of tables eating pizza, we saw families with small WELL BEHAVED children and by 8:00 pm most of the diners had finished and were leaving. The half-owner, our server, told us that she also had an auto repair shop and acclaimed that the restaurant business was the hardest business in the world. After having opened 33 myself, and most of those requiring 75-85 hours a week, I agreed. Now, I am one who is 95% of the time pulling for the unique, one-of-a-kind eatery and I truly hope this "Lady and the Tramp" Italian bistro makes it. Our total bill was $59 and I left a 25% tip for all of the specialized attention we received. Our server also introduced her daughter, telling us that her cousin was the other half-owner. As you can see, I only gave a 3 star rating, but if I was in the mood for another BYOB, Lady and the Tramps Italian dinner, I wouldn't mind revisiting to see if they had found ways to tweak the operation. But do not order the calamari.

We LOVE this little hole in the wall Italian joint! The service is great and the food is even better. We've been in about 4 times now and will keep going back. We always get the chicken diavolo, chicken piccata, and spaghetti with meat sauce. Can't get ourselves to order anything else because what we get is delicious every time.They are also extremely kid friendly. Having a 1 year old that is learning how to behave in a world they are just figuring out can be tricky and the staff is so kind and patient. We will continue to come here!

Good local restaurant worth visiting. I've eaten there a few times. Enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs and the Catania Special. Large portions. Both good and recommended.

Really really good Italian food! A little hidden away - but worth the hunt. Had one of the combos with. Fettuccine Alfredo, lasagna, chicken parm, garlic bread, and meatballs. Some of the best!

We were there for granddaughter gymnastics and on the way home. The food was amazing!!!! Lobster ravioli was out of control!!! And the tiramisu was off the hook! I had the trio and it was the best chicken parmigiana ever. The service was great and atmosphere perfect!!!! Price was great!!! I will go again,,,, and again!!!!
