| - I was so sad when Roma's "shut down" and became Draft Picks. My friends and I would always go to Roma's because the prices were great and the food was even better! I'm glad to see her back in good form.
The decor is looking a lot better, simple yet the nice wooden tables and chair make the overall environment nice and cozy. Great to see they now have a stone oven as well- lots of great items on the menu are made in it.
My first time back, my friend and I split the calamari to start. It wasn't bad but it wasn't memorable. The sauce though was delicious!
I ordered the Roma Calzone and she got the Chicken Pizza Wrap. BOTH were exceptional and just delicious. The Roma Calzone was very flavorful, the first bite you taste all the flavours and it wasn't greasy at all! Typically with calzones, you'll only taste dough and it will be overwhelming abundance of grease, NOT in this case. It was baked in the stone oven and perfectly stuffed. Loved every minute of it.
My friend let me try her chicken pizza wrap and it was also great! The concept of using fresh house made pizza dough to make the wrap really works well.
reminder: NO FREE REFILLS, we did not know that.
Our waitress was extremely friendly, attentive and made suggestions which is always a plus. We noticed though that towards the end of the service, her attitude completely changed. We weren't sure if something to do with us or something else that bothered her? It was odd.
The second time I went back with my boyfriend for a date night. I got the steak and onion wrap (we ordered a side of fries) and he got the Roma calzone. I was surprised to see that my steak didn't come in a wrap but in a bun. I'm not sure if they ran out of pizza dough but nobody told me. Regardless though, the steak was tender, perfectly cooked and very flavourful so I didn't even complain. This time, the waitress (the same as last time) offered a spicy olive oil for the calzone which was great, it really brought out the flavours in it.
I had a great time but the washrooms downstairs really REALLY need to be renovated. It smells like mildew and the smells seems to be creeping into the restaurant. It's a shame because I love this place but I'll go back anyway and make a comment about it.
