la roma

my fave place!. i go to la roma every chance i get and suggest it to all my friends and family. from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you are so well taken care of. the food is always great, (zucchini and lasagna are a must). the last time i was there, it took a little longer than usual, but every restaurant has one offnightright? and the food was still so worth the wait!

see you soon la roma!!!

buisness presentation. our company had a presentation at this restaurant lastnightand 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 be back many 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 anightto remember with laroma and you wont be disappointed.

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 coldnightwe went back to the restaurant and told them. one of the chefs offered to jump start it... just so kind! i am definitely going back!

nice dinner out!. my husband and i had an expected fridaynight(jan 10, 2014) away from our kids, which happens so rarely. we decided to head over to la roma.

food and service was awesome. we started with the calamari, which was melt in your mouth, tender, not rubbery at all. i had the tagliatelle alla pavarotti, which was delicious. seafood tasted fresh, not too salty, and was cooked perfectly. my husband had the salmon, and was over the moon. it was cooked just right. he is often disappointed because a lot of places over cook salmon. well, not here.

we finished off with the chocolate torte, which was death by chocolate. so good! chocolate was rich and deep, the way it should be.

i also enjoyed the waiter who insisted i add more and more parmesan to my meal, loved that! a lot of places are skimpy with the cheese. also, thank you very much to the waitress who noticed that i forgot my left overs, and chased me out the door to get them to me. i was very happy to eat the rest for lunch today.

thanks for making our first child-freenightin a very long time so very memorable. we plan to come back.

what a disappointment! a special dinner with family was marred by poor, clumsy service and the food was very expensive and absolutely sub-par. opening app of zucchini was passable but without a hint of seasoning, caesar salad ($11!) was soggy & wilted, and the pasta dishes were very lightly sauced, gummy and one dish of pene primavera had to be sent back! with drinks and tip almost $145. totally unacceptable for a venerable establishment once known for authentic, well prepared meals! i won't be returning. luckily the company was better than the food experience. mama teresa's was the other option thatnight... should have gone there ...

bad birthday. came here the othernightfor 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 coming back here 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. lastnighti 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 rushing back to this one.

highly recommended. i live about a block up from preston st. so i've had the opportunity to try most restaurants in the area. i would by far say this one is my favorite. i've been there about 5 or 6 times now, had different meals every time, and have never been disappointed. i was in wednesdaynightwith my girlfriend. i had the salsicce rosolate and she had the pollo marsala. she raved and raved about her meal and i can't say enough how great mine was. a little on the spicy side if you're not a fan of spicy food, i, however, love it! drinks are reasonably priced and for the quality so is the food. total, with a pint of creemore and a half litre of wine plus tip came to just under $100. atmosphere is beautiful, and my girlfriend was also really impressed with the fancy perfume left in the lady's washroom. service was impeccable as always. from what i could see they had a full house at the time and our server didn't miss a beat. as well, i'd like to point out that while the server was on his game, he gave us our privacy, which is rare i find in restaurants like this. i particularly liked how we were offered "the mobster" table right in the corner. if you bring a date definitely request this table. very romantic. i would recommend this restaurant to anyone! can't wait to eat there again! enjoy!!
