This place ROCKSSS. We tried to go to the Christmas market + it was closed, so we decided to try one of the restaurants near by. Our waiter, whom I forget their name, was seriously amazing. Older man with a giant personality, fun jokes, and amazing service. He seriously made our night. He gave perfect recommendations from their menu and he made the best aperol spritz for me... so obviously this place is just awesome. It was dimly lit which was so nice and cozy + the only thing you could hear in there was all the conversations from the rest of the guests which honestly just added to the vibe. Loveeee this spot.

There was a great wine selection, staff were helpful and informative. This tasted like real Italian food.. it will not be like Olive Garden but that is a good thing! They are able to accommodate larger parties of people which is nice. I would definitely return.

If you're looking for authentic Italian; then this is the place for you. However, understand that authentic Italian is not like "American authentic Italian" if you know what I mean. Nonetheless, the appetizer meat balls were phenomenal, but the bruschettine di carne looked good but did not execute well. That app needed something more than just steak and bread.The entrees were good, but nothing over the top. And to be fair; in my opinion that's just how authentic Italian tastes (it had flavor but not as much as you would think).The service was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have enjoyed our time there anymore than we did. Check this place out!

I heard a lot of good reviews about this place and decided to try it for my birthday for some authentic Italian cuisine. Parking is not ideal for getting here as they have a very small parking lot but some street parking available. The restaurant is a good size but still cozy. We were were seated near the front in the evening so it the sun was blinding every now and again from where is was setting but not the worst thing. I enjoyed my food I just didn't love it. I did enjoy the complimentary bread with olive oil/balsamic dipping sauce. We had some fried brussel sprouts that were good and some deep fried rice/mozzarella bites (suppli) that i felt were too cheesy/fried to enjoy. I ordered the Gamberi E Pomodori Secchi (fettuccini with shrimp and sun dried tomato sauce) but it was too heavy on the sauce/not my taste preference. I did leave here disappointed that it did not seem to live up to the standards my friends set. However, there were a lot of other dishes and positive reviews from others that I would be willing to give it another shot but would definitely try other things on the menu. We had a nice server and everyone we interact with was kind!

My friend and I decided to meet up on a Thursday night. We both were craving pasta so decided to stop by here.We ordered the Italianissima (salad), Genovese Di Mare, and Spaghetti Alle Vongole. Everything was okay, but the Genovese Di Mare - something about the noodles just wasn't to our tasting. I'd like to come again to try their other dishes because my friends really enjoyed the lamb chops and ravioli.Our server offered to split our salad into two dishes so that we can easily share, which was nice. She was also very attentive and made sure we had everything.It's a perfect ambience for date night as well - will bring my husband next time since he loved pasta.

Riley, our server, made this meal a 10/10 experience. We'd honestly give it 12/10. This was a top 3 experience on the northside. The service and greeting were personal as soon as we walked it. We were seated immediately and loved the romantic ambiance of the restaurant. It feels tiny and intimate inside. The food was fantastic. Every bite was so so delicious. They even had gluten free tortellini which I'd never been offered before.We would recommend Ristorante Roma for any occasion, a celebration, occasion, or date night.

My Fiancée and I went to this restaurant and absolutely loved it! First off, all of the staff are wonderfully kind and professional. Immediately we were happy with our choice to dine here because the staff alone made us feel like they were genuinely happy that we were there. Each waitress and waiter really seems to know the menu super well and they all seem very passionate about what is on the menu which makes everything on it sound great. The food itself was perfect. I try to make it out to Italy as much as I can and because of this I find it difficult to find restaurants with good pasta. That is certainly not a problem here. The food is spectacular and the portion sizes are perfect. I would argue that if you are in the Carmel area and you are wanting Italian then this is by far your best option.

We enjoyed yet another delicious dinner at Ristorante Roma. On this visit, Lisa took great care of us at the high top table in the bar area. Our menu choices on this visit were: Bruschettine di Carne starter, Italianissima salad, Gamberi e Pomosori Secchi entrée, and Genovese di Mare Spaghetti entrée. We also opted for the bottle of Alpataco Malbec. We were quite pleased with each of our choices and took home plenty of leftovers to enjoy. Definitely recommend!

Enjoyed a date night here. Quant peaceful interior with a large bar for cocktails. Outdoor seating available but not always in use. Our waiter was wonderful and we enjoyed our server very much. He was knowledgeable about all the restaurant had to offer and clearly very pationate about his job, some of the best service we've had in a while. Food was great, highlight was definitely the bruschetta de carne. Pasta is all made fresh daily and you can certainly tell. Sauces were also great amd so we're drinks. They were pretty crowded on a Sunday night so I would expect a wait on a weekend at normal business hours.

I would give this restaurant 10/5 stars if I could! I have been wanting to try this place for months and when we finally did, it did not disappoint! The service from the moment you walk in is spectacular. Our server had a very large and busy party but still made our experience wonderful. They have a lot of wine and drink options. I love that they even had a two mocktail choices. We ordered 2 appetizers that were amazing and our meals were just as good! The atmosphere is upbeat and lively. It also has a dark, romantic vibe that would make it perfect for a date night. This is a must try restaurant and is definitely in my top 3 list of italian restaurants I have visited!
