Sometimes, you just want a local spot that's gonna deliver. 1st dates. Weekly date night in a committed spot. A new place to rotate in. Roman's is it--a staple. Service is welcoming. The menu rotates. The dip is always a hit. The pasta slaps. No complaints.

Was inspired to come to Roman's after reading the glowing reviews for Borgo under the same ownership. Glad to have finally made it after routinely walking past this neighborhood spot for years. We ordered the fava bean purée, a perfectly dressed radicchio salad, and a tilefish main with a crispy skin, salsa verde and crispy rice. The meal was perfectly finished with a slice of polenta cake that came with what I can only describe as a butternut squash curd. The wines by the glass list is small and a bit pricey but appreciate that they offered half bottle options on those pours as well. The space inside is small but not dissimilar from other nyc dining. There was also a yummy and unique barolo chinato on the menu as a dessert wine option that our were able to geek out with our server about.

This is one of my favourite places in Brooklyn! The fava bean purée makes me so happy with the bread. The pasta I had was to die for. Their desserts are super delicious and high quality. I can't wait to go back to the east coast for this place.

a lovely dinner on a rainy day in BK!the restaurant was decently packed when we got there for an early dinner. the place had a nice ambiance too. we started with a Daily Sour and a glass of red. we got the following to try:-arancini verde: piping hot, crunchy on the outside, and cheesy/melty on the inside. a great start to our meal!-paccheri with squid, chickpeas, and peppers: al dente pasta with squid, chickpeas, and peppers in a slightly tangy sauce. it seemed like an unlikely pairing but everything fits. -chicken diavolo: huuuuuuge half chicken, served with roasted potatoes and broccolini. it was juicy and perfectly seasoned. the chicken is bone-in tho, something worth noting.service was attentive but not intrusive. a pretty solid meal in BK.

Our go to in the neighborhood. There are lots of good options around, but Romans remains consistent in the quality of the food and the staff is also wonderful. You can squeeze in at the bar during the week easily, and you can put your name in and come back on the weekend. We always get the fava bean puree, and mix up a pasta with some salads. Honestly can't go wrong.

Roman's offers Italian fare tucked in the quaint neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn.Since the weather in late October is unseasonably pleasant our group of four chose to be seated outdoors.The menu is one page and without much explanation but the staff is within reach for questions, recommendations and anything else.We started with a bottle of Sauvignon blanc together with an antipasto plate of olives, Parmigiano, mortadella, spicy coppa, and prosciutto served with homemade bread. The plate portion was good and sufficient for our group.The menu changes every weekend for lunch and there are only 4 main entrees to choose from. Our group decided to order all of the main entrees to share: 1. Chittara with tomato2. Summer squash frittata with cherry tomatoes and arugula3. Chickpea, cabbage, and koginut squash stew with a fried egg4. Orecchiette with broccoli rabe, anchovy, and breadcrumbsEveryone from our group seemed to have enjoyed their dish but I particularly loved the chitarra tomatoes, it was freshly made and delicious. If anything, my partner thought lack of meat option for main entrees is an issue.The staff is friendly and helpful, they know the dishes and their wines. They offered lovely suggestions for us. We truly enjoyed our Sunday lunch here and will come back to try their dinner menu.

This would be a 5-star review if not for the inedible vinegary panna cotta we were served for dessert after an otherwise impeccable meal. Needless to say, I'd advise on finishing your meal here with just an Amaro, or satisfying your sweet tooth with Ben and Jerry's at home.But as to what I love here, I'm not sure where to begin. The fava bean puree, served with what I believe to be swiss chard, is subtle yet flavorful, perfectly silky, and overall one of the few standout mezzes I've eaten in a borough under a siege of unmemorable labne. The honeynut squash punched with complex flavor from pecorino, catching offguard my modest expectations of an often bland vegetable.For pastas, the tagliatelle was perfectly al-dente, and had a smoky, meaty flavor (read that with a grain of salt coming from a vegetarian) that immensely pleased the palate. And of course the cocktails here are the real star of the show, I thoroughly enjoyed my bitter of the day.

I wasn't mad at the conversation. I honestly like the conversation. In fact , I will give it a 5 stars . Because a good vibes and the conversation was there pleasurable.

The two appetizers we ordered (the radicchio salad and the fava purée) were fabulous (as was our wine). However, we should have just stopped with those two items. My husband ordered a pasta dish with a pork ragu and I had a linguine with shrimp dish. Both of them were terrible. The amount of salt in each was unbelievable. My husband was starving so he ate his. But I really could not eat mine, so I asked if somehow the kitchen could maybe add more plain pasta. The server was very nice and said they would just make me a new one. To be honest, there was almost no difference between the 2. I had a few bites and left the rest. It was a shame. We decided we didn't want to end the meal on those notes so ordered an apple cake which was yummy. One of the servers was lovely but our main waitress had as much personality as a cardboard box. Not sure I could risk my blood pressure going back.
