la roma

notgoodat all. we rarely go out and the reviews on urban spoon weregoodbut boy were they wrong. service was spotty to be kind. we had to ask for bread which was stale; practially no butter; a tablespoon at a time. bruschetta was serve on cold wet bread like some one had forgot how to make it. the lasagna was a cheese lasagna with a meat sauce no salad or greens and thankfully i and another memeber of our party only ordered half portions. the veal canelloni was ok but nothing to exact the 16.00 dollar price it cost. two small canellonis in the same meat sauce that came with the lasagna. the chicken was tasty but tough. the desert menu we had to ask for twice .the waitress just forgot us again.one item was no longer available the alaska ice cream covered by a crepe in chocolat sauce wasgoodand so was the ameretto ice cream; we had to ask for coffe three times re only served us half cups each time and the cups are small,no sweetener was at the table and the cream came in a very small cute litte mug not enough for two people let alone more ;no relfill were offered we had to ask. at one time we were told that they were making more coffee, twenty minutes later we asked again as we wanted to maibe pay up and leave.as for one of the waitressspilling parmesan on me she seemed anoyed and very tired or the fact we were never offered pepper or actually made to feal welcomed or even cared about.no italian should be proud of this place. i would not recommend this restaurant

just right!. la roma is one of our favorite places.

we have been there numerous times, and the experience has always been great. the restaurant gives off a nice sophisticated atmosphere, and manages to do so without feeling pretentious or condescending.

the prices are fair, and the food has always been spot on. the servings are not too big, nor too small. you will leave feeling satisfied (not hungry or full beyond belief). when ordering drinks, you will get all the alcohol you paid for. a meal for two, with 2 drinks, and dessert came out under $100 (generous tip included).

the waiters are great. they do a great job of being attentive to your needs whilst preserving your privacy. we have never had an issue with any meals, however, saying the issues would be dealt with professionally and respectfully seems like a safe presumption.

all in all, la roma is a great restaurant when looking for a place that will allow you to dress up and feelgoodwithout leaving you feeling like royalty or trash.

great restaurant! will visit again, and encourage anyone looking for a nice place to have dinner [at a reasonable price] to do so as well.

service was very slow, portions were tiny for the price of it. i had stuffed pasta and my bf had cannelloni. it wasgoodbut not great.

not gluten-free friendly. i came here b/c it fell under the gluten-free friendly places in little italy and it had prettygoodreviews. well, our server didn't even know what gluten was, so it was a little challenging trying to order safely. i felt i was a burden asking all those questions that celiacs need to know before we can safely eat out-- the server was not forthcoming of information due to her lack of knowledge, but did know enough to ask the kitchen. in the end, i was not even provided a gluten free dinner, as i had a reaction next morning. this makes me very angry. i would have up and left before ordering, however, we were with other people that don't have food issues. there were not very many choices on the menu for one that is also dairy free. my husband's meal was an ok meal, but nothing to write home about. the price was up there as well. it might be a great spot for people who do not have dietary restrictions but i would not recommend it for those who are gluten and/or dairy free. i would take this place off the gluten free friendly list.

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 verygoodat all. there are so many other restaurants to explore i wont be rushing back to this one.

too heavy on the salt. my goodness. how much salt can you add to a dish?. way too much at la roma. almosat unedible main dishes.... in fact my wife could not swallow 90% of her veal dish because of the salt dosage. veal soaked in salt. everything on the italian combination plate soaked in salt. the tomatoe and buffalo mozzarella salad wasgoodand nothing else. we could hardly wait to leave and rinse our mouths out!

terrible food, overpriced, mediocre service. the prices may have been easier to swallow if the food had been halfway to decent. it was not. my entire party of 15+ had uneaten appetizers and entrees. none of us are picky eaters in the least so the fact that so many plates were left almost untouched should be highly embarrassing for the restaurant. wait staff was not very attentive, not very polite. our party was required to order off a choice of four menu selections and when a guest requested a simple salad as she couldn't eat anything off the menu, she was charged 10$ and then a $3 off the menu charge. $13 for a plain salad. i can say with full confidence that i will never go back. my dinner was 20 dollars and i couldn't stomach the sauce. chicken was dry. i, like many others at the table, did not even half finish my meal.

save yourself the trouble, trust my review. i don't know who these people are giving it agoodreview but don't risk it. any restaurant has better food than this. any.

overrated. i was excited to try it with all the positive reviews. given the restaurant is in the heart of little italy i had high hopes.

i was dissapointed. service was slow, meals were slow, prices were high.

i left unimpressed because the more expensive dishes we tried were lessgoodthan the cheaper ones. veal particularly was dreadful

recently went with my family for my wife birthday. we were taken upstairs where the atmosphere was quiet. the food was verygoodand excellent service. this won't be our last time here. i would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
