la roma

mediocre at best. the drinks were tiny and watered down like crazy. the chicken with asparagus was just ok but was extremely disappointing considering that it cost over $20. the seafood pasta included 3 shrimp and tiny pieces of crab. our waiter couldn't answer the simplest questions about how the drinks and prepared or even how the food is prepared. we had to ask for our bread and the waiter did not pick up the empty glasses throughout the whole meal. the best past of the whole visit was their olives. definitely wouldn't gobackthere again.

buisness presentation. our company had a presentation at this restaurant last night and we all left thoroughly impressed. a very professional atmosphere, complete with modern private rooms with in-ceiling projection screen and integrated wireless microphone system.

the service was prompt and courteous. food presentation and taste screamed with attention to detail. i cannot say enough about how smoothly this evening went. i highly recommend you see for yourself.

definitely the shining jewel of preston street.

we will bebackmany more times.

five stars. warm and inviteing. dine in unparalleled elegance at laroma. a must for anyone seeking the perfect evening with friends, family, or that special someone. make it a night to remember with laroma and you wont be disappointed.

we dined at la roma saturday evening and sat upstairs. italian fine dining at its best. first off we had a wonderful evening from start to finish. the greeting at the door was warm and our servers skills were honed. the food was fantastic. nice spin on the classic cesar salad, then zucchini. i had the stuffed veal and all around it was amazing, a spot on balance of flavour and a perfect portion size.  drinks were great and ambience was very comfortable. we'll bebackfor sure, would definitely recommend

amazing!!!!!! our server, alix, is so nice.
i adore the leek and potato soup! the gnocchi are so yummy!!!!!!! they are perfect... just perfect!!! the lasagna is okay, but i would not order it again...unless it is for my lunch the next day! word to the wise; the portions are large and very filling; so be careful how much you order.
the bread is wonderful, too. the creme brûlée was okay, but again i would not order it again.
but, the nicest part was afterward when i went to my car but the battery shut down... so on a cold night we wentbackto the restaurant and told them. one of the chefs offered to jump start it... just so kind! i am definitely going back!

bad birthday. came here the other night for my sister's birthday. not only was the food awful, the service somehow managed to be worse; very unfriendly and uncompromising. on top of that, here was a $3 service charge per person on the cake cutting, which is annoying but not a big deal. after asking the waiter to put everyone's charge on my bill, i found out he charged me for everyone and charged everyone else the $3. so we ended up paying the cake cutting fee twice. if that wasn't bad enough, he also charged me an extra $110 for service of a large party. never comingbackhere again.

disappointing. la roma to me will always be on the corner of somerset and bronson. that la roma was a great restaurant. the current la roma on preston is not the same at all in my opinion. last night i had the medaglione saltimbocca with vegetables. it was a poorly reheated effort with poorly applied spice and totally lacking in anything satisfying. it just wasn't very good at all. there are so many other restaurants to explore i wont be rushingbackto this one.

disappointing visit. the service was very slow and the food was ordinary to say the least. our plates arrived luke warm with the sauces already developing a skin and the asparagus over cooked. not what you would expect for the prices charged. i don't think we'll bebacksoon.
