Caffe Roma

I've drove past this place many times and out of curiosity and hunger I decided to stop by. I ordered the calamari appetizer and the primavera pasta. Honestly I wasn't thrilled, the calamari stinked that day, and the pasta was flavorless. I did have a peice of the chicken parm my partner had and it was tremendous. Maybe I will order something else next time I visit, it could've been a bad day. The staff's service is great and they're nice people it seems. The place has a very mom & pop feel to it, very homey, I will plan another visit and hopefully it is better.

Cafe Roma is a goto place on the west side. It's the epitome of ma & pop restaurant. Home made food. Friendly genuine cleveland style persona type of service. It reminds of places I went to as a kid.

So we've been coming to Caffe Roma's for a few years now. The atmosphere is really warm and cozy. The service is always good. My only "complaint" is the mozzarella sticks were very "chewy"...but my daughter eats refrigerated string cheese anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. Our entrees were very good though. The food is well portioned. I couldn't finish it all. They also have a full sit down bar, if you wanna enjoy an adult beverage. Parking can be a bit of an issue. People tend to park behind you (double park) so if you don't wanna risk being blocked in, I suggest parking on the side street. If you're looking for a nice little authentic Italian restaurant, this establishment is a wonderful choice. It's very clean. Peaceful. The service is really well. It's perfect for family dinner or date night.

Fine Italiano!My brother found these guys on google & other than being near the der Brau I didn't know anything about them. Cleveland is easy free street parking there 4-7 and always after 6 anyway as u know. so I park on Lorain & use the bar entrance. In fact we've only sat at the bar bc I've mostly been in a sweatshirt & they don't mind. I'm not positive but it seems like a big happy family running & working the place. Had the pizza first time and it was good & thick crust. Bro has the rigatoni & meatballs & he just loved it. So I had that today $12 or so. comes w 2 meatballs & everything was perfect. The sauce is piping hot and so good it just stands out. Reminds me of the sauce when I was a kid in Erie. Rigatoni was tender & just so easy to eat. Simple dish but so so good! Fresh bread to mop up the sauce. A+. Chicken parm I had on another visit, see pic. Giant pounded breast breaded just right, baked on cheese covered w the sauce. Fantastic. A big portion w the side spaghetti & I added meatball but again so easy to smash it! Great hockey man dinner & cant beat the price $14 or so. Maybe I'll sit in the dining room. Ha I peaked in there and every head turned it was like the sopranos. Owners & staff such nice people and it's so easy to get there off 117th exit. Def 5 star foodie ristorante. Thanks and see u again an

One of the best kept secrets on the West Side, this unpretentious family owned gem serves classic Italian dishes in a cozy, intimate setting. The owners are an older couple who hail from Italy who have been harnessing time honored recipes since the restaurant's inception. I have been frequenting Cafe Roma since 2006 and it has definitely stood the test of time!On my most recent visit - a cold snowy February day - I walked in and sat at a table across from the bar. They have an extensive wine and alcohol selection, so if you need a little something to help you wind down, you're in good shape! My server was very prompt and took my order right away.I opted for a bowl of pasta fagioli and a plate of Spaghetti Putanesca. Complementary fresh bread was served and comes with butter. The soup was a tasty blend of cannellini beans with carrots and pasta in a rich broth! The puttanesca was an outstanding red sauce of olives, capers, and anchovies... nothing fishy about that. If you want a taste of the old country without hopping on a flight, check out Cafe Roma!

Staff was friendly and food came out quick. I've wanted to come here for years and was so disappointed in the quality of food and taste. The mozzarella sticks were not fresh as we seen them come out a bag to the fryer and when served was warm not hot. The chicken in the chicken parmigiana was over cooked drenched in sauce and cheese. It's lacked flavor and was only warm. The spaghetti with meatballs had a weird texture and once again lack of flavor and only warm. All the food did not taste freshly made and even if the service was fast it was awkward that it all came out warm. The pizza was ok but once again the sauce had a weird taste. None of the food was eatable for us and ended up paying for a dinner we just couldn't eat and ended up leaving it. Ambiance is not bad, neither is the staff, limited parking but the food has been the worst experience for us.

This Chicken Parmesan was literally THE BEST Chicken Parmesan I have ever had! My husband and I live around the corner and decided let's put an order in... I'm so glad we did! The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful, they sent an entire loaf of bread with 2 To Go meals, and the portions were perfect! We got to choose our sauce and pasta, I got Chicken Parm with Angel Hair Pasta and Arrabbiata Sauce... it had a little kick, savory and just SO Good! Hubs got the same with Penne. I am angry it has taken me so long to try this place... We will Absolutely be Going Back!! I had to call and thank them for such an amazing meal! Try It!! You won't be sorry :)

Great family atmosphere and amazing food! Reminds me of a basement kitchen, which is awesome!

We have been coming here for years, I think we have eaten everything on the menu. Always fresh, always great. The staff is like family.

Quaint little Italian eatery. Good service. Food was ok, nothing special. Probably wouldn't go back.
