They tell me the food here used to be good...but then again, they tell me a lot of things. I'm going to break tradition here and do a Pro/Con tilt on this place:
PRO
Open late
Great live music - see listings
Outdoor patio
Good drink specials
The Waitstaff
CON
THE FOOD
If Roma was a bar it would be a fine place to hang out enjoy summer evenings in the Blhetto (Bloor Ghetto). Unfortunately, they insist on being called a restaurant and having eaten there several times - well I just can't let that slide.
Uninspiring, mundane Italian is the culinary slant here. It's not offensive - it's just not good. So-so pasta slathered with salsa generico and overcooked meat and poultry are edible - though you may nod off while doing so. Anything from the sea ought to be avoided. Let's just leave it at that.
Bottom line; If someone says "Let's meet at Roma's" say "OK- Then where are we going to eat?"
