My husband and I went to Roman Bistro for Restaurant Week. It's sort of off the beaten path and nestled in the heart of Forest Hills. I wasn't sure what to expect, especially upon entering the place and feeling more of a bar food type vibe. But this play is way more than bar food!With Restaurant Week, you get a three course meal for a set price. I wanted the chicken croquette but the waiter thought it was sold out, so I ordered the apple gorgonzola salad instead. One of the managers came over to tell me that they weren't and she decided to allow me to get both! The salad was very complex with cranberries and pecans and apples in it. The finishing touch was the creamy balsamic dressing. The chicken croquette was different and unique consisting of creamy chicken and potatoes and peas, sort of like a chicken pot pie!For my entree, I ordered the lobster ravioli. I was a little disappointed because the menu stated " 2 jumbo raviolis," and I thought there wouldn't be enough food. Boy was I wrong. The raviolis were the size of the palm of my hand with large chunks of lobster amidst a creamy, buttery sauce. The meal was absolutely delicious! I finished my meal with the Strawberry Scooter Crunch Truffles, which tasted just like the nostalgic childhood treat! The flavor was complex and tasty, and I couldn't quite figure out the taste and ingredients. Nonetheless, the dessert was fabulous and left me wanting more! I believe this place often gets overlooked, but I know that I'll definitely be back to this unexpected gem in the heart of Forest Hills!

Passed this place last week on the way to a county fair and decided to pop by last night for dinner. The huge bar spreads out in front of you as you enter. Quite a few folks were having dinner there. I'm glad we reserved a table in advance. The bistro looks huge on the outside, but it's surprisingly small inside (not that many tables). The place filled up pretty quickly at about 6:30p with what appeared to be a very regular crowd who've been coming for *years*. Our server was super friendly and helpful - pointing out tasty/popular dishes. *Tip - most dishes are big portions - you'll likely be leaving with leftovers! We started with a nice cab and salads --- me: caesar w/ anchovies (the dressing was a very tart vinaigrette- not creamy - and not my fave); husband: a wedge (again not a typical wedge - the copious amount of blue cheese dressing which was unusually flavored was not a fave). Our server had recommended the beet salad - should've done that! I ordered a recommended entree -- the crab cakes w/ Parmesan cheese risotto & Brussels sprouts. The crab was excellent - and the huge portions meant I was able to enjoy the 2nd of the 2 crab cakes the next day! The risotto was flavorful and creamy. Husband ordered the chicken anthony & really enjoyed it. The goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, & chicken in a lemon, butter, cream sauce on linguini --- all of it rich, yummy comfort food (pasta was a bit over cooked). No dessert -- but our super nice server brought some super flavorful house made limoncello to welcome us to the bistro and hope that we'd return. No problem. We will!

The food was delicious! The bread was 10/10 and the dipping oil it comes with is superb. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo was one of the best I've had. The chicken that usually comes with Alfredo at other places is typically dry- but at Roman's it was flavorful and you could eat it on its own! The service was not ideal- the waitress we had was not very friendly, very short with us and gruff. I would return here and try other items!

Always been a fan of this place never had a bad or ok experience here over the years and this night didn't disappoint. Ordered the Osso Buco- Pork Shank it was meaty and very flavorful and not salty as some other establishments where I've tried this entree can be. I Shared this plate along with the Seafood Platter which came on a long oblong plate as the name of the dish implies. Lobster tail, crab cake, Blackened cod and shrimp scampi. Very reasonably priced for how much seafood you get and all very good and between the two entrees, I brought enough left overs home for another meal. (Shouldn't have had the fried zucchini though I'm a sucker for punishment ...it was nice and crispy) Wish I had taken a picture even, though it's not my M.O. to do so. Eric our server was good too. Keep it up Roman Bistro and continue to have those 2 dishes on the regular menu and I'll be back for more soon...Damn as I write this, my taste buds are teasing me to want to return now!

I stop by here most Friday 's for lunch. Danielle is great behind the bar in ordering food , drinks and making sure you have everything you need for your meal. Greg is also very good when he's working the bar but not as easy on the eyes compared to Danielle. The entire staff is quite good there.

Good food, but we might have gone on an off night because the service was pretty slow. It has a chill vibe, but could definitely benefit from turning down the music. There are TVs on that play sports or random shows, and can be a little overwhelming. They have a decent wine selection and I'd definitely go again.
