We had a fantastic meal there, starting with Lindsey, our server, who was great--extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. The lasagna was easily one of the best we've had, perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the portion was huge. The Caesar salad was crisp and refreshing with its own unique twist. The atmosphere leans into that classic Italian vibe, with a Roman statue greeting you at the door, charming and memorable. Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. Bottom line, generous portions, standout flavors, and service that shines. Romana's is a must-try.

I called late afternoon same day for an early dinner reservation as I had a hankering for something good. They were able to accommodate so off I went. When I arrived I did not know what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised by the large casual establishment. I was seated immediately by a very warm and friendly server, and given menus to look over. I was torn over so many starters that I decided to have them as a meal along with their well known pizza. I ordered the calamari fritti, the eggplant stack the Italian nachos and a wood fired Margherita pizza. While I waited, I was given some good bread as well as some tomato pie and it was all so tasty. The portions here are generous and I had to take a good amount home. No complaints here though as it was all delish. I can only imagine how good my leftovers will be next day. This eatery is solid and what a nice place for some good Italian food!

I started with the Saranac Blueberry Blonde, which is a refreshing beer that smells exactly like blueberry muffins - it's so good! The bartender also brought out a delicious bread basket to start and the olive oil it came with was amazing - it had chunks of roasted garlic in it. For my entree, I ordered the Penne a la Vodka with shrimp, which came with a house salad. It was fantastic! It had a good amount of shrimp in it too. Overall, the food was great and the service was a little slow but thankfully the food was worth the wait. I was too stuffed to try any dessert but I hope to if I'm in the area again!

The salads came with half a hard boiled egg, green and black olives, pepperoni, banana peppers, bell pepper, provolone, and fresh red onion. We were celebrating two birthdays, and we received two complementary cannolis. The pastry was from scratch and the cream was light and airy, absolutely perfect.

Meatball appetizer, big and rich in flavor with meatballs not too soft or hard. Great with warm bread that was provided. Main course was beyond big and easily two meals on each platting. Chicken parm was tender and nicely seasoned with pasta side. I had a special of peppers and onions in a spicy red sauce with crumbled sausage and bucatini as the pasta. It was cooked well and had a nice warm spice, but not over powering heat, easily two meals. Drink prices were market priced with a wine $ 8.00 for a good pour. Server was personable and attentive throughout our visit. It would appear the kitchen is small and staffed accordingly. I hear they limit take out orders when very busy and best to call ahead for complete info on a weekend. Overall great experience and will visit again.

The service was impeccable. Our server was great, but the star of the evening was Ava. There was an initial problem with our arrangements, but Ava went out of her way to handle it seamlessly--so much so that the rest of our party didn't even realize there had been a glitch until we joked about it on our way out. Service like that is rare and deeply refreshing. Every dish hit the mark: Flank Steak Crostini: Super tender and beautifully marinated. Calamari Fritti: An unexpected delight--pan-fried and seasoned rather than heavily breaded. Margherita Pizza: A generous, delicious personal pie. Mafaldine Bolognese: Perfectly al dente pasta with rich sauce. Frutta di Mare Fra Diavolo: The house-made fettuccine paired beautifully with fresh seafood. The ambiance is relaxed yet upscale compared to most Cooperstown spots. We will definitely return.

The place is small and has some nods to history via the wall mural. We were prepared to have a long wait (about an hour from seating to eating) as they make all dishes from scratch. Most groups were ordering pizzas and we opted for a meatball parm sub and their haddock puttanesca special. There were two servers on for the evening covering and they seemed overwhelmed by the rush which was not our experience before. While the food wait was expected it did take a considerable amount of time to get out drink order taken and then to have it arrive. In between ordering and getting our drinks I noted out server taking care of 2 other tables bringing out food and drinks. It took about half an hour for the bread to arrive at the table. The puttanesca was good and well seasoned but the meatball parm sub and fries were surprisingly under seasoned. We may be back again but will probably not go in when they are nearly full again.

There were trains outside the window and a kid's menu for him; there were sit down tables and a limited dinner Italian menu for the wife; and there were trains, college football on all the TVs, and the menu for me. Score! I had their veal parm. (with light sauce) and it was absolutely fantastic. Cooked perfectly, flavorful, not tough at all, and the sauce in its limited capacity was very nice. My wife had some pasta/eggplant dish and she seemed to enjoy it though she had the regular amount of sauce and it pooled with a lot of water on the bottom of the plate. Not as nice. Our son's "chicken fingers and fries" turned out to be two separate plates: one with a huge amount of fries, and one with breaded chicken cutlets cut into strips. Apparently, that is how they make "chicken fingers" now. He wasn't really into that, but man let me tell you they were great! I know only kids can order this but PLEASE tell me that adults can get this too. They were so much better than frozen, breaded chicken fingers. I'm calling my shot here: the next time I am here I am going to order Buffalo wing sauce on those chopped up chicken cutlet strips and create a NEW variation of boneless chicken wings!

They were raving about their seafood bisque and brought a sample to share. Dipping their in house bread was great, and the soup itself was decent. I got adventurous and tried their "Italian Sushi". Not bad, an interesting idea. Jughead ordered a burger as usual, another ordered the ravioli, chicken parm and for me the drunken chicken. Everything was decent, but lacked a lot of seasoning, especially salt. I'd try it again but am skeptical.
