| - Run, don't walk to Roma Garden. You could miss this if you're not looking carefully, (hint: it faces 40th street) as it is just a strip mall storefront, but inside it is much better than expected. Just the decor itself will wow you. We went in without reservations and it happened to be prom night, but we were seated ASAP in the front section which was just lovely. Our server, Jen, and her assistant, "El Magnifico" were so friendly, super attentive, even though they could have been all stressed about the big groups of prom kids in the main section. No sweat, just another night for them. Just loved the service. Be sure to check in on Yelp and show them the 10% off coupon. Free amaretto at end of meal.
I guess I should talk about the food. It was our first visit so we played it safe, but the basics were good enough to plan for a return. My spaghetti/marinara/sausage (which was recommended by Jen when I told her I just needed to try the red sauce on my first visit) was perfectly fine. Hubby had stuffed peppers and we both loved them.
We like going to local places that are a bit more "fancy," and after being completely disgusted by Belfiore, we were extremely relieved to have our faith restored in nice Italian restaurants by visiting Roma Garden. Spinato's is closer to us but this place is more fitting for "date night." The place just simply made us happy; please go here and support them!
