    Chicken parmigiana, Supreme Pizza, Habanero & Buffalo Wings

    Packed! We walked in & decided not to wait for a table sat at the bar. Quick service great ambiance, want to come back for brunch! The food was DELICIOUS do yourself a favor & go. The firewood all worth it, also got mozzarella sticks but gone by the time picture was taken. Those were delicious & homemade!! Price is avg for a full service restaurant

    Came by for lunch and it was fairly quiet. The staff was friendly and attentive (although we had to beckon them for boxes and our check). They had great lunch specials; I ordered the salad and pasta for $11. I thought we would get lunch portions, but they were quite large. The pappardelle was good and the bread it came with was toasted and buttery. I opted for the fig vinaigrette, which was sweet but still light. The fries were also crispy and delicious.

    Ajuillo shrimp, was very tasty though there was s lot of pasta not enough sauce

    Everything we tried from appetizers to all of our entrees were very tasty. I will definitely be back.

    The Godfather Pizza

    After seeing all of the amazing reviews for Roma23 and it being nearby I was really excited to finally get to try it. My overall experience was rather underwhelming, I am not sure why, but I had expected a higher scale of experience. The price would suggest this as well. I ordered an espresso martini which was lacking. I could tell it was made with coffee from a pot, not real espresso. I ordered the bruschetta which was my favorite part of the experience, it was good! The tomatoes tasted fresh and crisp, with a good ratio of balsamic drizzle on top. I ordered the Godfather pizza. The meats and flavoring of the crust were very reminiscent of those from a Jacks frozen pizza. The service was good, it wasn't bad. I honestly don't have much to say about it other than that. The menu was very lacking. There were seemingly more drinks than food on the menu.

    Chicken Pesto Pizza

    I'm so glad to have a new Italian spot in Tolleson! This place is very cute. Modern rustic feel. I like that the kitchen is partially open so you can watch the pizzas being made. Angela was an amazing server. She was attentive but not hovering. She gave great food suggestions and was very kind. We started with the Mozzarella. It was delicious. I liked that when you cut into the cheese, it mixed in with the sauce. One thing to be aware of is that the sauce has a little heat. So if you are like my mom, maybe order it on the side. I got the Ajillo Shrimp and my sister got the Chicken Pesto Pizza. Both were amazing. The shrimp on my pasta were big and there was a good amount of them. It wasn't heavy or too spicy. I really enjoyed it. My sister loved her pizza and said the dough was some of the best she had. We are excited to come back and try more!

    Delicious ! Clean,friendly service and ambiance. Food came out hot and ready . The Italian meatballs are delicious.

    Caesar Salad
    Ethan R.

    We had a very pleasant experience at Roma 23. The space was well managed, the parking lot was accessible, and the style was very neat. The food was remarkable! We started with a caesar salad, which was made with a spring mix. The dressing was flavorful, and the croutons added that extra bit of crunch that ever caesar needs. For our entrees we ordered the Ajillo shrimp and the Heaven pizza. This Ajillo Shrimp dish was one of the best pasta's I've ever had in my entire life (and I've had a lot of pasta!). The shrimp was cooked and seasoned to perfection, and the pappardelle was done to perfect al dente. We would come back just for that. The Heaven pizza was great too! The arugula was a little much, but the flavor combinations really made it a complete pie. If we were to come back, I'd probably try one of the other pizzas on the menu. Overall, it was quality and timely service. The restaurant itself was a little loud, so be prepared for that, but the taste of the food brought this place to 5-stars alone.

    Ajillo Shrimp

    We had a great visit. It wasn't busy at all at Saturday around noon, we got seated right away. They have a DJ every Saturday until 1 pm. Everyone was very kind from the moment we walked in. Here's what we tried Charcuterie Board- my go to for appetizers since they're fun to put together and this one had the perfect enough of goodies for 2-3 people Godfather Pizza - super yummy 4 out of 5 ! Ajillo Shrimp Pasta - I loved it , the first time I ever had noodles like that & personally I did not think it was spicy at all, great flavor and shrimps were cooked perfectly Mango Paloma - serving size 2+ but could've easily served 4! It was refreshing, not overly sweet & we couldn't taste the alcohol, I enjoyed the extra fruit piece on top

    Amazing food for a great price!! The interior is decorated really well, it's like a dim lit bar but still has plenty of table seating and light for family. The restrooms are very clean and I love that they have a lit up mirror for any girlies who want to touch up on their makeup and stuff! I do wish the server had come around to fill up our waters though. We got the Bianca pizza and Ajillo shrimp pasta. Both were great but the Bianca pizza was my favorite. The mix of cheese, prosciutto, mushroom, and basil is magnificent. It could use a little more mushroom though. For birthdays they bring out a sparkler candle on a complimentary gelato of your choose. We got the mango and it was honestly sooo good!! I personally like that they don't sing to you, just the sparkler candle :)

    Nice cozy pizza place and bar in Tolleson. The pizza has a pillowy crust and is very good although they were a bit stingy on the pepperoni on ours. Caesar was nicely dressed and I enjoyed the spring greens twist. Staff is great and a nice ambiance.

    Chicken Marsala
    Gina B.

    I have been here once before but I apparently did not write a review, I truly cannot recall what I had the first time or the experience. This time, there were quite a bit of people but we did not have to wait for a table. Our waitress and the hostesses both were pleasant, along with the busboy. We ordered a full veggie salad, wings, a supreme pizza and I ordered Chicken Marsala. The veggie salad, I enjoyed so much! I loved the dressing! But for someone who likes basic stuff such as my husband he said he didn't really like the dressing but said he knew I would. It was just the right amount of sweet with a citrus flavor with a very subtle hint of Fig. The Chicken Marsala was flavorful, different than other chicken marsalas I have had but it was really good. My husband said the wings were good, crispy, the brick oven pizza was also really good but could use more sauce, I on the other hand liked the minimal sauce. We all said we would go back to try other dishes. The music they were playing made you want to hang out, nothing like some good old school music playing in the background.

    I'll start with us being greeted and sat quickly, first thing we noticed was the great oldies playlist and lighting. Our server was attentive and the food was incredible! The pizza was so amazing everything down to the sauce and tasty light dough. The motzerella sticks were sooo tasty but very fragile kinda crumbly but in a good way. Like they were super fresh! We also enjoyed a gelato flight which was amazing, our favorite flavor was the flavor of the month!

    Let me preface this review by saying that I am reviewing the experience as much, if not more, than…read morethe food and drinks. My wife and I absolutely love New Penny. We actually followed the owners here after frequenting their previous coffee shop, En Route. When they opened New Penny, supporting them was an easy decision. The café is thoughtfully divided into two distinct spaces: a family-friendly dining area and a lounge-style bar area geared more toward adults. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting. There are house-made dishes, local merchandise, a shaded patio, and plenty of charm throughout. My wife's favorites are the Breakfast Totchos and the Acai Bowl. Personally, I am also a loyal Breakfast Totchos fan. As for drinks, the Copper Coin and the legendary Cowboy Latte are both worth ordering. What truly sets New Penny apart, however, is the people. The owners and staff have created a space that feels inclusive, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the community. Support local businesses. Better yet, support local businesses that are doing things the right way. Get to know the owners. Get to know the staff. Places like New Penny don't just serve food and coffee--they create gathering places. Whether you're meeting a friend, taking a business meeting, enjoying a date, or simply looking for a quiet place to sit by yourself, New Penny delivers. One of my favorite local businesses, and one that my family will continue to support.

Based on the photos online, it looked like the perfect place for our group to gather. I confirmed my reservation through both the email and text reminders. On the day of our reservation, another partner agency happened to be in town and wanted to join us. Since the website wouldn't let me modify the reservation, I called four times after they opened to see if I could add a few more people. Unfortunately, no one ever answered the phone. We decided to arrive early and ask in person. The Service When we arrived, the restaurant was absolutely packed. The hostess told us we were welcome to walk through the bar to see if we could find a table ourselves, but that they were extremely busy and likely wouldn't have anything available. After looking around, we came back and asked if the patio was an option since the misters made it surprisingly comfortable despite the Arizona heat. We were told the patio was for reservations only. When I reminded the hostess that we had a reservation, the explanation suddenly changed to, "We're on an event menu tonight." She handed me the menu while I stood at the host stand, walked away, and never really explained what that meant for our reservation or whether we would actually be seated. When she returned, instead of offering a wait time or another solution, she suggested we try Thirsty Lion down the sidewalk instead. At that point, it became clear that our reservation wasn't going to be honored. Parting Thoughts I completely understand that restaurants get busy, especially during major events. What disappointed me wasn't the crowd--it was having a confirmed reservation, receiving multiple confirmation requests, making several unanswered phone calls beforehand, and ultimately being left without a table or a meaningful explanation.
