One of the finest restaurants we ate at in Phoenix.
Roma Garden is located in a strip mall on the far, far, far northeast side of Phoenix. Don't be put off by its exterior, though--there's good food in here.
My wife had the spaghetti and meatballs, and the picky eater that she is, it's a high compliment for her to say that these were the best spaghetti and meatballs she's ever had. They were huge (2" or more!) and tender... hooray for panades! The sauce was flavorful but thin and not chunky.
I had the veal with mushrooms and artichoke. This was good and fresh; I wasn't sure what exactly would come back, but this veal reminded me more of a thin slice of pork than anything else. Even though it wasn't what I expected, it ended up very good.
We had calamari for an appetizer. It was very crunchy and the marinara sauce, like the spaghetti sauce, was wonderfully fresh and coated the calamari well.
Service was exceptional! The staff was on top of the meal and our drinks, and they were very helpful. Roma Garden was the best way for us to end our time in the southwest.
