Romano's Italian Restaurant

Great Family Run Restaurant

by lcerney at Citysearch

Romano's is a family run business. You enter the restaurant and the kitchen is behind the counter and the delightful smell of home cooking starts you mouth watering.

The foods home style, so no fancy "presentation" just good food and plenty of it. Most people take home boxes with the leftovers. I'm from New York City and have eaten Italian in Little Italy and all over the City and Romano's can hang with the best of the family restaurants back East.

Good ol' home cooked Italian. Pizza's great too.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Entrance and waiting area is small

worst Italian this side of the Mississippi

ok, being Italian, being a chef and loving Italian food I have to be honest and fair and say that Romano's is awful. Their, "homestyle" noodles are disguisting!! The dried noodles arent much better either. We have been several times, to both locations and the experience is always the same, the servers are fair at best and the place is usually dirty, I mean straw wrappers on the floor, dirty dishes stacked up, nastiness on the walls, etc.

The worst thing of all is the food, it is bland, uninspired and pedestrian. You could get better "Italian" food from olive garden! It really isnt hard to create good Italian food. Most of the famous dishes from the country are peasant style dishes. It doesnt have to be expensive, fancy or formal, it just has to be good and Romanos falls far far short of the mark.

• Pros: family friendly, space for large groups
• Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!

Incredible Food and Service!!!!

I am 35 years old and have been eating at Ramono's since I was 12. They truly have the BEST stuffed shells I have ever had not to mention the lasagna is to die for. I have been to the East coast and do not really think there is much that can out do Ramono's. I continue to drive out of my way (from Park Hill) to visit Ramano's about once a month (no I do not live in the neighborhood, but used to) as a previous writer pointed out. I highly recommend trying Ramano's whenever you have the opportunity.

• Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Great Prices
• Cons: None
