   Houston boasts an incredible restaurant scene—Roma, unfortunately, is not part of it. Our evening began with a lackluster Negroni, its oxidized sweet vermouth clashing with sad little ice chips. Then came the octopus salad: while the octopus itself was properly seasoned, the accompanying vegetables were an afterthought. If you've ever wondered how completely unseasoned potatoes and tomatoes taste, Roma has you covered. The main course arrived… but our cutlery did not. We watched our food cool for ten minutes before finally being able to eat. And yet, the worst part of the experience wasn’t the food—it was the service. No apologies, no efforts to make amends, just constant interruptions to our conversation and an eagerness to rush the check. If only they had shown the same enthusiasm for, say, offering us a wine list or ensuring we had utensils. If the staff believes this is acceptable service, they must be operating under some serious delusions. Maybe one day, my wife and I will laugh about this experience. At this point, we kind of have to.

   Our server Tony was great company! Friendly and welcoming service, romantic ambience, awesome wine selection. Food was ok, the appetizer salads (caprese and octopus) saved the whole meal but for a late evening reservation on Valentine’s Day it’s excusable. Overall great experience great vibes, wish the portions were bigger and a bit more fresh.

   This little place was amazing and we all loved our meals. Salmon, mushroom ravioli, and the fettuccini. All fresh and some made table side. It was wonderful!

   Great authentic food, service, and a traditional atmosphere. Patio is a must when the weather permits. Enjoyed the local surroundings.

   The food and service were exceptional. This was our first visit, having received a gift certificate for a four course chef’s dinner. We had no idea that it would be such a wonderful evening. The owner personally greeted us and the wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Every dish was authentic Italian, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared and presented. They also had a very nice wine list, with a variety of wines in various price ranges. A great atmosphere —cozy and inviting. We plan to go back regularly with friends.
