| - Inside Roma Deli Restaurant Café, every square table has an elaborate map of Italy. If you look to the right, you will be delighted to see the great Pinocchio. Also there is an intricate mural of the Ruins of the Roman Forum which captivates a pivotal moment in Italian History. The restaurant is very spacious and clean. You can watch TV, just know that it is primarily focus on tennis as this is a favorite Italian sport. They do have a deli and bakery section and everything is freshly made. Now when you are dining in, the atmosphere feels light-hearted and it will put you in a jovial mood while listening and rockin' to the best songs of the 80s.
It's amazing how this restaurant creates the best kind of Authentic Italian Cuisine. For my order, I chose the Gnocchi Your Way ($15) with chicken ($3) and spinach. Gnocchi is a soft dough, it is similar to a dumpling but it's rolled and cut into small pieces. Given a choice of Pesto, Alfredo, or Bolognese, the recommendation I was told is to combine the Pesto and Alfredo for Gnocchi. In doing so, the unique blend of two different sauce will make the dish very creamy and full of flavor. They bring a small basket of freshly baked warm bread and butter that you can enjoy as a snack or with your meal.
As soon as the Gnocchi is serve, I am thrilled how soft, savory, and delicious Gnocchi taste. The meal is so good! The chicken breast is cut into strips and the meat is tender. The sauce is very creamy, you can even take a piece of bread to sponge some of that sauce and enjoy it. For dessert, I chose the Cherry Panna Cotta ($6) which is an Italian cream pudding. Its texture taste almost similar to a soft custard and with the addition of fruit and cherry sauce, it elevates the wonderful flavor of this simple dessert. One of the greatest thing about having a Cherry Panna Cotta is that it makes me smile. The service is outstanding. Becka and Boba have been so kind and attentive, they made me feel welcomed. This truly is the best Italian restaurant.
