We ordered the Bolognese and the lasagna. Both were really good while maintaining a home made feel. The kids devoured the tiramisu which they offered complimentary at the end. The portions are on the bigger side. I ordered the large salad as an appetizer for my husband and I and when it came out, it looked like it could have fed a few people. The manager went around to all the tables and thanked folks for coming in. What a nice touch! The wait staff also recognized locals so it had a community feel. Coming from the Bay Area, that is pretty rare and cool!

This was my first time going to Via Roma today. I drove 45 minutes because I wanted to try it based…read moreon the great reviews. I arrived around 3:45 pm and waited about 15 minutes before going inside at 4:00 pm. The staff was very nice and welcoming, and they even offered focaccia bread and water while I waited, which I appreciated. I ordered two kids pizzas, one with pineapple and one with olives, and specifically asked for extra sauce because my kids like their pizza that way. I was also charged an extra $2 for the toppings, which I paid, but it would have been nice if that had been communicated to me upfront. Unfortunately, after waiting about 40 minutes, the pizzas were very disappointing. My kids immediately said it tasted like cheese bread, and after trying it myself, I agreed. There was barely any sauce at all, which was surprising since I had asked for extra sauce. My kids wouldn't eat it, and I ended up having to take them somewhere else to get pizza. I was really disappointed after driving so far and having high expectations based on the reviews. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this place and will not be returning.

It is always a gamble returning to a restaurant you previously enjoyed, as maintaining consistency…read morein the food industry is notoriously difficult. Fortunately, this establishment continues to prove that its high standards for both food and service are here to stay. From the moment you walk through the door, the pristine cleanliness of the dining area sets a welcoming tone. The staff mirrors this professionalism, delivering the same attentive, warm, and seamless service that made the first visit so memorable. It is clear that the team takes immense pride in hospitality, ensuring guests feel valued throughout the entire evening. The culinary execution remains a major highlight, starting with the crispy skin salmon served over asparagus risotto. The chef executed the salmon flawlessly, achieving a beautifully crackling, crispy skin while keeping the fish itself tender, moist, and perfectly cooked through. The accompanying risotto was a masterclass in texture, arriving buttery smooth and rich. The fresh tomatoes added a bright pop of color, though the dish would ultimately be improved by omitting the vine presentation. Leaving the tomatoes attached to the vine meant that dried bits of leaf and stem broke off and dispersed into the risotto, which slightly disrupted the otherwise velvety texture of the rice. To finish the meal, the tiramisu proved to be an absolute triumph and a worthy main event. The inclusion of rolled cookies on top was a brilliant addition, providing a delightful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the layers below. The cake itself was phenomenal expertly balanced, incredibly moist, and wonderfully creamy without being overly heavy. It delivered a deep, authentic flavor that lingered pleasantly. The bottom line is that this restaurant successfully avoids the second-visit slump, offering a reliable, high-quality dining experience that warrants a high recommendation.

We ordered the cheese pizza and their famous layered lasagna, and both were delicious! The cheese pizza was simple but satisfying, with melted cheese, flavorful tomato sauce, and a delicious crust. Sometimes you just can't beat a classic! The lasagna was the real standout, with layers of pasta, rich meat sauce, and cheesy goodness baked together. It was so ROAR-some, it had this Rex coming back for another bite! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with family or friends. On weeknights, it has a more grown-up vibe, especially around the bar, making it a nice option for a casual date night or dinner with friends. Rex Tip: For a little behind-the-scenes action, grab a seat near the bar! You'll get a partial view of the chefs busy at work in the kitchen. You can't see everything, but it's fun catching glimpses of the action as your meal comes together!

Whereas the flavors were fairly mild, it was still comforting and certainly good. The pasta trio was palatable overall, with each pasta having its own distinct flavor. My top favorite was the Meat Lasagna; super flavorful and cheesy. The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo needed a little more sauce. I requested extra Alfredo sauce, which helped to make it more enjoyable. The server was friendly and professional. The atmosphere of the restaurant was vibrant and charming. Overall, Tomatina provided a dining experience that met standards by serving Italian food. I'd consider stopping by again when visiting the Roseville area.

(which we weren't, sadly) when we got the check, we were so disappointed to spend nearly $300 on a father's day meal that was simply not good. we wanted to have a delicious meal to celebrate my dad but unfortunately that wasn't the case. we wouldn't come back here or recommend honestly. :(
