| - Another great Italian find!
My BF and I went to Roma Garden for dinner last night because he was given a gift certificate there from a friend. We'd never heard of it, but we're always up for trying something new, especially with $50 towards our meal. We pulled up to their strip mall location without expectations and we were both pleasantly surprised!
When you walk in, the lighting and decor are welcoming and the staff is friendly and attentive. It was a Thursday night and there were plenty of other guests in the restaurant, and there was a lively energy in the air. After browsing the menu, I ordered one of the few 'Chef's Specials' of the night - tilapia with fresh veggies and pasta in a lemon caper sauce. BF went with Pollo Parmagiana. He had a glass of cabernet and I had pinot grigio... and voila - a warm bread basket arrived on our table at just the right time!
We were both happy with our orders when they arrived as well... the fish was cooked just right and the sauce was tasty... good portions as well! Although we were full, we decided to order a dessert to share - the homemade snow white chocolate tartufo - yum! The perfect sweet ending to our meal. In addition, we were each brought an after dinner drink of amaretto on the rocks, on the house.
****I just have to share that I was pleasantly surprised that the women's restroom was clean, spacious, and had a fresh fragrance to it - I normally don't notice that, but I was impressed by this!
In speaking to the waiter and the owner, we learned that this restaurant recently changed locations but they've been in business for over 15 years. Gotta love the local businesses that last in the valley... we'll be back to support Roma Garden and enjoy their fine "Northern Italian Cuisine" without a doubt. I suggest you go check it out also - bon appetito!
