We came here for our wedding anniversary. We wanted something casual and Italian…read more We ordered: Caprese - 5/5 - very good. The mozzarella was so fresh and creamy. The tomatoes were hearty and cut a perfect thickness. Could have used more balsamic for me, but my husband liked it fine. Chef special: Swordfish picatta with mashed potatoes, vegetables & tiny salad - 4/5 This was good. The picatta sauce was delicious and the fish cooked perfectly. I would have liked a mix of different vegetables. Lasagna - 5/5 - this was my favorite. It was cheesy, served very hot, the noodles were not mushy. Just deliciousness on a plate. The service at the bar was outstanding. Our server was attentive and offered us as much bread as we wanted. He went over the menu and offered suggestions. We only drank water and the cup was always full. He was great! Seating - there was plenty of seating, so was not sure why we were only offered a choice of 2 tables both basically on top of the party next to you. I feel they can do better in that department. There was seating outside, which was also offered, but it was way too hot and humid that day to dine al fresco. We ending up sitting at the bar. Forced tipping: They add a "kitchen appreciation" fee to your bill, which I did not care for. I feel this is tacky, but if they are doing this, it should be posted somewhere that they are, feels sneaky otherwise. The food was very good & I will likely be back to try other dishes.

I initially wasn't going to write a review but I saw someone gave the restaurant 1 star 20 days ago…read morefor a similar situation that happened to us so I decided to do the same. My husband and I came across the restaurant on a Saturday at 430pm. We had our baby stroller and have been mindful on avoiding dinner rushes while going to restaurants, just in case. The Host asked us if we were a party of "3 and a half" which we laughed and said yes. We waited outside where there is patio seating and only a couple of tables taken. Inside, there were people at the bar and maybe one table occupied. The rest were open. I could see through the windows that the staff made a big deal about the stroller, they were walking around making hand motions as to where the stroller would "fit" mind you we've been to plenty of restaurants where this has NEVER been an issue. They came out to speak to us twice stating they were looking for a spot. I told my husband we should just eat elsewhere but he insisted on waiting. We did not want to sit outside due to it being hot. The host finally returned and said that they have reservations and can seat us at a table but we have an hour limit due to the reservation. My husband obliged b/c he was hungry, and I was annoyed. We got seated in the back which is fine by the big display of wine and our stroller replaced a chair. Which idk why that wasn't suggested or thought of in the first place. Our server was very nice but the other staff just kept side eyeing us. Dinner was rushed, it was tasty yet over priced. Our baby slept the entire time, No fuss thankfully. What were they to do if they had someone in a wheel chair and couldn't accommodate space? I know the comparison is far fetched compared to a stroller however it was the first time I ever encountered this. Since someone else made a comment about them not being seated due to a stroller, I would suggest avoiding this restaurant if you have small children as it seems it's not welcomed. Again, we were mindful and have been going to dinner before 5pm.

It's a small restaurant which creates a really intimate and great atmosphere. The service was prompt and helpful.

The only trouble I had was deciding what to order because so many offerings on the menu sounded incredible. Can't wait to go again. Grazie Da Bianca Trattoria!

I came to eat at pasta party a few days ago after telling myself to visit for a long time now. I…read morestill remember the old deli that was there prior to this restaurant and I've seen numerous social media ads and posts about the place so I wanted to check it out. I think I was a little hesitant because in my head I was thinking how good could possibly really be? In my head spaghetti/pasta is something I can make it home and almost thought it a waste of money to go out of my way to go out specifically to eat this dish. I ordered the Arrabiata pasta with the sausage. I'll admit I was a little thrown off by added cost of each tolling and also added cost of the Arrabiata sauce and I also did wait until a fair amount before the food was ready for takeout. But the pasta really blew me away. I'm still thinking about how good it tasted. I would definitely come back and I actually wanna bring my dad who loves spicy pasta like this. It was really that good. I can't think of another place that has this level of pasta let alone this price. The only negative I would say in regards to one of the workers. The cashier was manned by wonderful woman who did every and all tasks from taking the orders to putting food items in the oven to answering the phone I'm probably much more than that. I don't know. In contrast there was an Asian man with a black shirt who was also working. He looked lost and completely helpless. There was a moment where this woman was so busy and there was a ringing that I assume was from either a phone call or a delivery order. This man did not offer to help more nor did he help from what I saw. He was utterly helpless and unhelpful. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with the encouragement "Hey help your team out!" The woman on the other hand was doing so many things simultaneously and yet was really kind at the same time. Anyways, I'm giving my review of a five star because I wanna see this place succeed and I'll definitely come back .

The pasta sauce tasted very sour, and the meatball on top wasn't even warm. It seemed like it was simply taken from a tray and placed on top of the pasta. The antipasto salad was mostly lettuce with very little meat or toppings. The penne with pink sauce was good, so that was the highlight of the meal. Overall, I felt the food was overpriced for what we received. Honestly, I've had better food and a better value at Olive Garden. Sorry to say, but I expected more. Service was great! Very kind

We were a party of 9 and from the moment we got there, the service was outstanding! I wish I got our waiters name but him along with the runners, and other staff were very accommodating. Now for the food, amazing! We order the bruschetta and fried calamari for appetizers, and both were packed with flavor and hit the spot! I personally order their chicken fettuccine with their homemade sauce and I wanted to eat the entire plate in one sitting it was so good, but I had to restrain myself! The flavor of the sauce was amazing and the pasta was cooked to perfection-kudos to the chefs! The rest of my family loved their plates and we all agreed that Roman Cucina will now be one of our places for birthday get togethers! It's a bit dark, but the ambience is romantic but at the same time laid back and not noisy at all. Located at the center of downtown Fullerton there's a lot of people and places to eat you would think it would be a lot noisier, but this place is amazing! If you are looking for a romantic place to sit back have some amazing food, memorable service and a great time....check it Roman Cucina and when you do, you're welcome!

I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza, and the receipt clearly showed "pepperoni." I paid for the pepperoni... only to get home and discover that it was actually a cheese pizza. In hindsight, I probably should have opened the box before leaving to double-check the order, but I honestly didn't think I needed to inspect the pizza box to make sure what I paid for was inside. To make matters more comical, I had also ordered a personal cheese pizza for my little boy so I somehow ended up coming home with TWO cheese pizzas. Needless to say, we are now absolutely drowning in cheese pizza. As for the pizza itself, the cheese pizza was just okay for me. The cheese tasted a little lower quality, with what seemed like some Italian seasoning sprinkled on top. Nothing terrible, but not quite what I was expecting given the restaurant's reputation. We also ordered meatballs, and I'm not sure if they were cooked or held at the proper temperature. By the time we got home, they were room temperature and had a very soft/squishy texture, which made me hesitant to eat them. Overall, just a disappointing first experience especially because I was genuinely excited to try this place based on the reviews. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but between the incorrect order and the food quality, rough times over here.

We came here for lunch on a week day so it wasn't too busy, but we did see people start piling in right around 12:30 pm. The parking can be pretty diabolical, so I would try to come here for an early lunch and avoid the hectic parking. The staff here were all so nice. We were greeted and food came out at a reasonable time. They did run out a few items on their menu so just make sure to check with the waiter/waitress. The lunch specials are a good deal where you get an app and a main for $25. I went with the meatballs and the chicken parmigiana verde, which were both delicious and flavorful. Pasta was cooked perfectly. In addition, the calamari was good, but was a little bit overbattered. The ricotta cavatelli was room temp when it came out and the funghi pizza was just okay. There were some hits and misses but overall a solid place to go for lunch. I loved the interior though, very clean and simple. The natural lighting that shines in is amazing, makes it a great spot to eat and relax on work day. Is it the best italian food around? No, but it gets the job done.

The dressing is full a flavor, while the mountain of Parmesan cheese and crispy croutons bring it home. The orange zest is a subtle and surprising flavor detail that I was not expecting.

Unfortunately it did not. Our server was fine, but was not personable at all. I found myself smiling at him but he did not smile back. I will definitely be back and hopefully get another server to elevate the experience.
