Cute little spot. The food was really good. I'm very picky & haven't found any Italian food that I've liked since my Nona passed but they're authentic. The garlic bread was made fresh & was delicious as were our entrées. We all had take home boxes when we left.
Very friendly and , comfortable atmosphere, attentive service. We had the chicken Marsala, stuffed penne and chicken with Gorgonzola sauce. All were excellent. Delicious sauces, perfectly cooked chicken, amazing neat sauce on the penne and the Gorgonzola sauce was outstanding. Salads were fresh a, wedding soup also delicious and the garlic bread was amazing. Took home leftovers and cannoli and they were great lunch for a Saturday afternoon. Can’t wait to take my parents!
Best Italian food in Cleveland area. No frills . Just a family run Italian joint that serves up great food.
From the big basket of mozzarella sticks to the delicious spaghetti & meatballs! The sauce is so good and those meatballs are so tender, they just break apart! My friend had the chicken piccata and he loved it! Our new favorite place!
Oh my goodness what an absolute hidden gem!!! Do not let the outside deceive you, this place has been here forever and now I know why. I cannot believe I live so close and have never been here before now, what a fail. Anyway, I will be here often now! Inside is adorable and clean. They have parking in the back and a cute small little outdoor area as well. Family owned which we love to support. They were very kind and everything came out so fast! Great server have a feeling she may also have been one of the owners. First of all the prices here are insanely affordable with nearly everywhere raising prices on everything to almost laughable level this place is so solid. 6$ for wine and THAT POUR was very generous. 4$ for a HUGE bowl of soup. 3$ for the best garlic cheese bread we have had in ages. 5$ for a huge salad with cheese. 8-10$ for a pizza like honestly mind blown. Everything was SO delicious. Started with cheesy garlic bread and soup for the bf and salad for me. Excellent. Food was very fresh and amazing. For dinner my bf got a pizza which I had to snag a bite of. Ooooof it is really good pizza. Tastes almost like they had a little garlic butter under the toppings idk but it was very good and you could tell the ingredients were quality. I had the ricotta stuffed penne with meat sauce $14. Huge portion and delicious!!! So for 2 glasses of wine, cheese bread, a medium pizza, salad, soup, and a generous helping of stuffed penne our bill was 50$. Insane. I cannot wait to come back! So happy we found a nice family run, affordable and delicious Italian place so close to home! Go check it out!
From Carol & Marty- We have been going to Caffe Roma for a few years and absolutely love the true Italian ambiance. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. The wait staff is very friendly, attentive, and the owners, Carla & Joe, are very special people to us. Thank all of you for your hard work to make our evenings very enjoyable and special.
