The flour tortillas were hard on the outside like very hard The refried beans tasted like baked beans put they the blender Free chips n salsa- salsa nich thick not spicy by most ppl standards but delicious chips fresh n crunchy! Sweet tea!!!! Actual sweet tea! Not tea you have to add your own sugar too!!! Sadly if this hadn't been attached to my hotel and if I hadn't been so tired and hungry from a long day of travel I would have gone elsewhere- learned my lesson next time power thru and dine somewhere else to eat. Can not in good faith recommend- and hoping the few bites I did take won't end up in regret

Same "host" was our server. She started by trying to sell us on the buffet with was closing in 15 minutes. When we declined she took a another 15 min to come back to take our order. We weren't offered any chips and salsa (note for later) 30+ minutes later our food arrived. Both orders were missing items. While we were waiting for our rice and sauce for chicken, we noticed tables that came in after us getting chips and salsa when seated. When we asked our server, she said that we didn't get any because they were "making more chips" when we originally sat. Did she offer any when ready? Nope. Server never came back to check on our food or refill drinks. Had to track her down at the bar, again hanging out with co-workers, to pay our check. I'd give it a zero if I could. They must prey on first timers like us that don't know any better. Now we do.

We were seated and were given chips and salsa. The salsa was very good - that is what earned the 2 stars for this review. The chips were ok - on the thicker side but still ok. While perusing the menu, I found some of the menu prices to be a little ridiculous. For example, on the a la carte menu, a side of rice and refried beans was like $8.50? Yikes. Rice alone was $5 something? Ordinarily, rice and beans are inexpensive so the prices seemed a little high to me. My daughter ordered fajitas and I ordered the quesabirria taco platter that came with rice and beans because I figured for what they were charging for them, they must be something special. She ordered a Coke to drink and I ordered unsweetened iced tea. Her soda arrived completely flat - not one bubble to be found. My tea was undrinkable - it tasted of terrible, terrible tap water with no tea flavor whatsoever. I was surprised when our food arrived. I have ordered fajitas countless times from multiple restaurants and they are always served on a sizzling skillet. While the fajitas were served on a skillet, it was not the sizzling, steamy presentation found in other places. Instead, she was given a barely warm serving of small, rubbery shrimp along with standard fajita fare. We were there between lunch and dinner and there were only maybe 2 or 3 other tables so I don't understand why she wasn't served a fresh dish. She picked at what was on the skillet and was so unimpressed, she never even opened up the tortillas to make an actual fajita. Quesabirria tacos are my favorite and I was very much looking forward to them. I was disappointed in these as well. They were barely lukewarm and the cheese inside was not even melted. The dipping sauce was bland. I am very thankful that the rice and beans came with my platter instead of paying the high price of a la carte because both were not good. The beans were like a pureed soup and very loose/watery. The rice had no flavor. I ate about 1/2 of one taco and gave up. No, we did not complain or send the food back. I wrote it off as a one and done experience and knew I would never go back. The final insult was when I got the bill. On top of the high prices of the not so great food, they charged $4.50 for a flat Coke and $4.50 for an unsweetened "iced tea" that tasted of stale swamp water. I understand restaurant prices are rising but that seemed extreme to me. I was very much looking forward to trying this place as the other Mexican restaurants in the area are meh at best and was bummed to find this place even worse.

We drove it home, took a look inside the boxes, and knew that we were in for some good pizza. The crust was really good and crisp. It's a perfect medium between thick and thin. The sauce and cheese were very generous and our family now has a new pizzeria to choose from for future orders.

Roma Pizza, located in Dover Delaware, undeniably offers some of the most exceptional pizza I have ever tasted. It is a crowd-pleaser, an excellent choice for potlucks, and a renowned dinner option for those evenings when cooking is not on the agenda. Due to the widespread demand for pizza in neighborhoods across the nation, pizzerias have become a dominant force in the restaurant industry. The introduction of tomatoes to Italian cuisine during the 18th and early 19th centuries played a pivotal role in the development of authentic modern Italian pizza, particularly in Naples during the 1700s. We had takeout so I can not tell you about the service the staff provides while dining in or the ambiance of the restaurant. The Roma Supreme, topped with Pepperoni, Sausage, Mushrooms, Onions, Green Peppers, Black Olives, Sauce, and Mozzarella Cheese, was an absolute delight. We also indulged in a classic cheese pizza, which was equally impressive. It is safe to say that pizza is undeniably one of the most beloved and sought-after dishes in the entire country and when in Dover I will be ordering from Roma Pizza.

Vincenzo called me several weeks before to get an understanding of the details. With this info he suggested I move to La Stanza. Wow! had he not called and took an interest in my event details; I would have been terribly embarrassed hosting in the original room I selected. Stress relieved! During a later call Vincenzo guided me on food selections and room set up. Top notch concierge service! La Stanza is well laid out. Several guests commented on how the room had that 'new car' fresh smell. The bathrooms in La Stanza are exquisite. Maddy was our host/server. She was with us the entire evening. She was very accommodating, professional, and approachable. Her experience in this environment was evident. The food... C'mon, it's how Italian should always be done! Flavorful, cooked to perfection, authentic and hot. The banquet menu provided comprehensive choices and Vincenzo allows flexibility to go rogue. Thank you, Vin, and Maddy for a great and successful evening.
