I went to Roma Garden to help cheer up a friend who was recently let down by his fellow man. He said a rich creamy Alfredo would perk him up. I had just heard about Roma Garden and it was in my friend's neighborhood so we went. The restaurant faces East in the strip mall on the South West corner of 40th St. and Thunderbird. Next to Panda Express. It is not a big place. We were the only guests there for an early dinner. Candlelight and fresh roses at the table and I still didn't feel cozy. My knife had something on it. I ended up not using it. We were the first guests of the evening and it seemed like our waiter hadn't adjusted to the fact that he was at work. Kind of sluggish. Not impressed so far.
The bread saved the day. It was hot and fresh and was accompanied by an herb butter. My main dish was the Chicken Saltimbocca. The ingredients were fresh and the side of pasta and marinara were good. My guest won in my book. He had ravioli with lobster and crab topped with pink sauce. He got his rich and creamy. I had a sample. Wow!!!
For dessert I had the tiramisu. It was presented well and tasted okay. My friend had the chocolate mousse cake and he said it reminded him of Jello pudding. This one did not stand out. It was presented well though.
I would come back for the bread and would try something else on the menu.
Roma Garden was A-OK.
