Great pizza, service, and people

This place is very good. Everything about it is good, the service the food, the people too. When I go to buy a pizza they take everything down listening to my every request. The prices are reasonable and they even give a basket of hot rolls with your meal (except when you get pizza delivered). The house salad, is good and the dressing is absolutely fantastic. Their pizza is very fresh and of good quality too. I recommend this for a family or couple experience. In Cafe Roma there is a very friendly climate. There is also soft lighting and italian music playing in the backround. The service is fast and the food is good. I highly recommend this place to anybody.

• Pros: service, atmosphere, people, food, etc.
• Cons: small space

GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE

SERVICE 5* Friendly

FOOD 5* Delicious

DECOR 5* Light and Relaxing

PRICE 5* $9 for Eggplant Parmigiana big enough for two, delicious salad and yummy, hot rolls

When I call ahead to place my order I get a nice greeting on the phone. Merci! I order Eggplant Parmigiana, My Favorite entree. My meal will be ready for pick up in fifteen minutes. Perfect timing. I walk in to the small but beautifully decorated restaurant and I'm greeted with smiles and friendly service. It's late, 9:15 PM and there's only one other couple in the restaurant. As I wait a moment for my food I notice the soft lighting and Italian Music. I feel very relaxed. The next minute my piping hot food is brought out, again with a smile and friendly service. I almost regret having to leave the restaurant, but I pay and take my food home with me. As I sit here enjoying my meal I realize that I will never be able to finish it in one sitting. Not only do I have Eggplant Parmigiana, but I also have spaghetti, a salad and rolls that all come complimentary with my meal. My only problem is, do I save the left overs for my sweet husband or do I hide them for later. I make my decision, this is just too good to share, he can eat Ramen Noodles! That's when I decide that if I want Cafe Roma to be able to beat this slow economy then I better let others know just how good they are.

I have been to Cafe Roma several times and though it is small, with only about 20 tables, I have never had to wait for a seat. I do wish there was a bit more space in the dinning area. Also, if you like Martinis with your Italian food (and who doesn't) you'll just have suck-it-up. Cafe Roma doesn't have a liquor license. The cool thing about the lack of a liquor license is that you get to bring your own wine. A waiter comes to your table, ready to serve up your wine by the time you place your order. I highly recommend Cafe Roma for dinner dates and small family dinners.

• Pros: service is great, food is delicious and hot
• Cons: small seating area
