| - Wow. You've gotta eat here! We have been 3 times and every time it is better and better
1st time: As soon as we walk-in to look around and see what they have., a nice older man tells you to come in and sit down.. We explained we just wanted to see a menu and look at the deli.. The Nono, brought over bread and water- and explained that we needed to stay for dinner. This felt like home. He was very sweet., explaining try this, try that. Just as your grandparents would do. We have the veal on a bun, and eggplant parmigiana.. The portions were huge!! Very very flavourful. We left happy and stuffed.. Service and food was 5 star.
2nd visit: Our second visit was during the World Cup. We assumed they would be showing the game., and have some sort of "specials" on to watch Italy play. When we arrived at 930 am., they were closed. But the owner was in and setting up for the day. His name is Fausto. Fausto invited us in.. He explained the restaurant wasn't opening for a few hrs but invited us to come in and watch the game with him. He made us espresso., and we tried the cannolis. It was a very nice morning.. He made us feel like we were at home with family.. We also made sure to give kudos about our first visit.
3rd: our third and most recent visit we had family in town visiting... There are 40 different restaurants in our 5 mile radius but we wanted our family to experience the wonderful food and service of Roma Deli.
We arrived for dinner at 6pm. Fausto was making rounds, introducing himself to tables and ensuring all are having a great night. Very nice off him. We ordered the calamari, antipasto, and bruschetta to start.. ( I mentioned in the 1st visit portion sizes., but we still wanted to try everything ). We were full after the appetizers. Delicious food, and wonderful service. We ordered 4 different entrées. One of the things I need to mention--- we were never rushed. The timing of the apps, to the entrees was very well spaced. We were not just a number.. They let us sit, talk, drink, and enjoy. I unfortunately cannot tell you to try one dish because everything was amazing, try them all. Try the wine. And take your time. This place is a must see if you are visiting., and if you're a local; this is a perfect date night, or family style restaurant.. It can be whatever you want it to be at Roma Deli II.
