    Chocolate Lava Cake with Ice Cream
    Samantha V.

    Our family tried Osteria Romana for the 1st time in Monroe on Easter Sunday. A challenging time to be first trying a restaurant. There were little things here and there that kept this from being a 5 star experience. When we arrived the parking lot was filled. There was a valet but we were skeptical because I did not notice the guy had a sign, pin, or jacket stating he was the valet. Luckily it was legit. When I checked in early they were of course not ready for us. I asked would they come out and call us once our table was ready? I was told No and to keep checking back. I kind of felt like since there was no where to wait inside. They should have at least come got us when our table was ready. Our reservation was for 7 people @ 4pm and our table was ready at 4:15pm. It's fine it was Easter and they were busy. At one point our waiter left, and it took a bit before a new waiter came over. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. For appetizers my husband had the octopus salad, I got the mini meatballs. My husband was skeptical about the grilled lettuce but actually enjoyed it. The mini meatballs came in a cute bowl with a nice added touch of a wooden spoon and was really good. Our main courses were seafood risotto for him and prosecco chicken for me. He ate every last bite of his seafood. I tasted his risotto which was cooked nicely. The sauce for my chicken made my chicken cutlets not crispy but it had nice flavor. Desserts: Chocolate Lava cake with ice cream and pistachio cheesecake. Both heavenly and sweet (but not too sweet). Wish we were offered coffee or cappuccino. But I guess its good they didnt because we were all ready to get up and moving. Hope to try their brunch with my husband or smaller group soon.

    Such a good dinner experience!! The calamari has a good fry on it! Loved the cheesiness on the Prosecco chicken! And we loved that the day we went was half off martinis! Restaurant is elegant on the inside and the staff was extremely friendly!

    I attended a shower on the back covered patio area Osteria Romana last month and was totally impressed by the abundance of flavorful food, classy service, and intimate ambiance. There was a five course meal including appetizers, salad, pasta, a selection between 3 entrees, and dessert (including coffee and tea). There were multiple trays of appetizers and desserts per table so there was more than enough per each guest. I selected to eat the stuffed chicken which was outrageous. The watermelon mojito was refreshing and perfect for spring. I can't wait to come back to this establishment for happy hour, date night, and weekend brunch to further explore their menu.

    Me and my boyfriend's first time. We surely enjoyed our meal. Staff was so friendly and service was amazing as well. Our sever was Fernando, he was so accommodating and so so friendly. Fernando helped us with food options and had great conversations with us which I love about staff, making you feel welcomed. The hostess was also so sweet and gave us a great table. The ambiance was great for a Wednesday night, great music and spread out their tables of guests in a very pleasant way and making you feel comfortable! We will definitely be back!!!

    We had our wedding ceremony and luncheon there and it was just perfect! Our guests loved the food, and the decorations and the service were impeccable! I can't recommend enough!

    Classy but unpretentious. Gracious but unobtrusive service in a delightful decor. But best of all... great food, large portions and very reasonable prices! Pasta fagiole was laden with beans and pasta... very filling when accompanied by fresh baked bread and olive oil. My salmon salad was more than enough for 2 meals and my wife's VEGAN friendly beet and citrus salad was delicious Very nice restaurant

    Osteria is one of my favorite places for a sit down dinner. The staff is attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is cute. The food is great and they have a lot of drink options. The parking lot is pretty small but that's not their fault. I will say that the sunday brunch isn't as great as their lunch and dinner options but I love the all you can drink bloody mary's and mimosas!

    So we've been here a month ago. Just by chance we drove by headed for another place in Trumbull. I commented that the place looked nice from the outside. Then a half mile down the road we said heck let's try that place.turned around and we're glad we did! So we are BACK! Adrian comes right over to say hello and take our drink order. My friend opts for a special mixed drink, watermelon mojito. I order a glass of champagne but I think it's Prosecco Her drink comes and it looks amazing! A real party!! My champagne is delicious. For dinner we're sticking to three appetizers. Their best one is the tagliere casareccio, which consists of prosciutto Di Parma, pistachio mortadella, soppressata Grana Padano, mixed olives(we don't like) roasted peppers cheese and crostini bread! The mortadella and prosciutto are set up like little teepees! Just all fresh and delicious We also get, polpettine the meatballs, pork and veal with pecorino sauce. Also an order of Bocconino dello chef. Which is homemade baked mozzarella wrapped with prosciutto topped with arugula and cherry tomatoes We dig in. It's a lot of food! Our favorite hands down is the tagliere, which could be a meal to itself. Amazing The music being played sounds like French cafe music with an accordion Very satisfying on a rainy Sunday afternoon This place earns 5 Stars. Ambiance, service food. All just perfect!

    Sad I love this restaurant but it has gone way down. The quality of food tonight was rough we had the chicken rustico and chicken processco and both tasted like Chinese food away and sour sauce. We had the pistachio cheesecake special and it wasn't a cheesecake but rather a pistachio cake that was small and nothing like a cheesecake. The service was bad and the waiters barely checked on us. Sad to see this happen to such an amazing restaurant

    See all
