We were seated promptly upon arrival in a corner booth which was out of the way and perfect for our date. Or server was attentive and answered all of our questions on the menu. We ordered a martini and Pinot noir with a large meatball appetizer. The drinks were very good and the meatball was amazing. Honestly l could've been our meal for the evening. We ordered a shrimp and scallops scampi and an angel hairAlfredo. We completed the night with a very rich tiramisu. All of our dishes were excellent. Items that stood out for me was the owner's attentiveness to his patrons. He stopped at every table checking up on service and needs. Super friendly that set a nice tone for our dinner. Andrea Boccelli served as background music for our stay. D'Amelio did have a small private lot but it was very tight but there is street parking available. I look forward to our next visit. Good spot for special occasions.

It took over half hour to get a fried calamari that I thought would have red sauce on the side (and topped with Gorgonzola and fried cherry peppers) but somehow .... They put the calamari over the red sauce and then cover it with the toppings and somehow .... Garlic aioli? The grease glistened of their overly browned rings of fried calamari. Their bread was average. Not warm. Nothing special. The salad that my entree came with had one half of a cherry tomato and one slice of cucumber with a weird red looking dressing on the side that i was told was "peppercorn." My entree wasn't terrible but it was the first time I've had fish over a ton of veggies.... With no starch accompanied with the entree-- not your standard serve via an Italian place. I got the stuffed sole which was ok, not terrible, but the interior was mushy (as expected) and the sole might have been undercooked. I knew better than to go here for a satisfying meal. I would never go back here ... maybe not even for a drink because of how delayed delivery of a mere fried app, was. Thanks !

In a great location with its own parking lot, Roma Ristorante also has a nice bar that was busy serving drinks & lunch entrees to patrons on this Thursday afternoon. We chose the dining room off the bar for a quieter experience. Roma is best described as providing elevated Italian-American cuisine. The garlicky broccoli rabe, grilled sausage & fried potatoes with long hots was an ample starter for two. Bread basket filled with real Italian bread. My entree of Chicken Milanese with an up charge side of linguine in marinara was great as was my friend's Arthur Avenue sized Italian cold cut sandwich accompanied by what looked to be fresh sliced french fries - which we found addictive. The only pedestrian selections were their Wines by the glass & the chocolate cake. Our visit accommodated our need for a turn up of the a/c & that made us very happy.
