Karen was the best server! Check her out . Very attentive, great conversation! From PA, but loves Texas

What a magical night. My granddaughter and I were both celebrating birthdays, and Roma Italian Bistro made it feel like the whole restaurant was celebrating with us. The owners treat you like family from the moment you walk in -- genuinely warm, present, and thoughtful. They even take the time to personally respond to every review, which tells you everything about how much they care. Friday nights they host karaoke with a rotating cast of hosts, so it's dinner and a show all in one -- such a fun surprise. And the food -- my goodness. The stuffed mushrooms and lobster ravioli are the bomb, the eggplant parm is outstanding, and the pistachio cheesecake absolutely steals the show. Every single dish was a hit. Two birthdays, one incredible night. We'll be back again and again. read more

10/10 recommend! If you enjoy Italian food you have to come here. The service is amazing, the food is delicious. Added bonus they have live music on Friday nights. I stumbled upon this restaurant through inKind and after reading their reviews on Yelp I knew I needed to give them a try. Tony who is one of the owners took such good care of us and made such great recommendations. We got bruschetta as an appetizer and I opted for the chicken parm as my entree and the lemoncello cake for dessert. Everything was delicious but the bruschetta and lemoncello cake were my favorite. By far the best bruschetta I've ever had! read more

Roma Italian Bistro - Clearly the food was amazing. - Italian Near Me - Plano, Texas

Delicious food. Exceeded my expectations. The tomato sauce is delicious. I will be a repeat customer. Great dinner!!

I was craving chicken Alfredo so I decided to try this place. It was empty so not a long wait. Garlic bread was offered with the meal and it was delicious however after eating the food I was terribly sick. Maybe I encountered a bad batch that night so I won't be returning . read more

I came to this place because I had a craving for veal parmigana and Yelp rated them #1 for that. I tried to order that and was told they don't change menu items. I understand that. I ordered a beer and my second choice entree. The beer wasn't the correct one and I couldn't get anyone to help me. A kitchen worker brought out my entree and I asked if she could get me the correct beer and a knife. She said she'd tell the waiter. After I gave up on trying to get help, drank half the beer and the part of my entree I could eat without needing to cut it. Then, the waiter appeared and asked if everything was OK. I said not really but could I get my check. He brought it and I asked for a pen to sign. I waited 10 minutes for the pen I never got and went behind the host stand to get a pen and settle my bill. Unforgettably awful service. read more

**Disappointing Service Despite the Great First Impression** I originally chose Roma Italian Bistro because I saw so many Yelp reviews praising the amazing food and service. Unfortunately, our experience was very different. When we first arrived, we were warmly greeted, and even the owner came over to speak with us. At that point, everything seemed great. Unfortunately, the service changed as the meal went on. Our waitress repeatedly walked by our table to refill drinks at nearby tables, but despite me trying to get her attention, she never acknowledged us. I gave up and tried to get another waitress attention. Later, a waitress came to the table literally next to ours to ask if they needed a box. I raised my hand to get her attention because we needed a box and our check, but, she did not acknowledge us. She was literally just 2 feet away. Finally, I saw another waitress coming my way. I waived at her and instead of coming straight to me, she proceeded to greet another table and made conversations w the customer before getting to us. What made the experience especially uncomfortable was that we are Asians, and I also noticed that another table of Indian guests seemed to receive very little attention, while the predominantly white tables around us appeared to receive much more attentive service. I cannot say for certain why this happened, but as a customer, that difference in treatment was noticeable and left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. We were ready to leave, but we couldn't even get someone to bring us a box or our check. Eventually, the owner came by. Ironically, he told us he hoped we would come back. Unfortunately, we won't. Great first impression, but attentive and respectful service should be consistent throughout the entire meal and for every customer. I came in expecting the amazing experience I had read about on Yelp, but sadly, that was not what we received. read more

Excellent dinner tonight. Veal Parmesan isn't on the menu but they have Chicken Parmesan so I asked if they could do veal and they were very accommodating. My meal was excellent. My wife had the Frutti di Mare mixed seafood over linguine in a spicy red sauce. Hers was also excellent. The fried calamari appetizer was light, fresh, and perfectly salted. The garlic rolls that came with the meal were soft, hot and chewy. A+ meal with a sweet attentive waitress. Nice old school New York city decor. Will definitely return. Great job. read more

We received a flyer in the mail so we decided to try this new restaurant as I'm going on a try new Italian restaurant kick. The inside is super cute, comfortable and feels like a New York Italian joint. Fresh warm bread was terrific. They made me a great latte and food was good. Prices are very reasonable. My kids and I enjoyed it. Service was good and fast. And as I'm writing this review I'm eating the leftover of my beef lasagna, which I was extra excited about since I do not eat pork. read more

Just left Roma for the first time and I had an amazing experience. I got the vodka pasta, which was one of the best vodka sauces I have ever had. My girlfriend got the calzone and the crust was phenomenal. Sam was our server and he was super helpful and all around a great human. Surprised to see this place slow because our experience and food was amazing. We will definitely be back to check out the live music on the weekends. read more

Food was amazing!!! Calamari was light and not too heavy on the stomach. Bread was phenomenal. Pasta was yum yum yum. Cannoli and cake was fire!!! SUPER AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

My husband read the impressive reviews and suggested that we visit for my birthday. It was definitely a treat! Our server (Sam) was so friendly and engaging. He was also very generous and presented us with a slice of cheesecake just for giving their restaurant a try. Lina (owner) was also warm and inviting. She mentioned that they have live music on Fridays and homemade cheesecake that she actually makes! The food was exceptional. I especially loved the Caesar salad. The food was presented very hot, which is important to me. My husband had the vodka tortellini, and I had the lasagna - both divine and large portions. We will definitely be back and tell all our friends and neighbors. Thank you for the fine service! read more

Discovered this neat little spot via Yelp while traveling on business & staying 1-2 miles away. It's located in a non-descript strip mall, but the bright bistro lights out front were warm & welcoming. The fresh new interior was a pleasant surprise with a large mural of the Brooklyn Bridge on one wall and a large granite/quartz bar, surrounded by booths & tables. I ordered the lobster ravioli with shrimp & vodka sauce, side salad, house merlot, & a tiramisu later for dessert. Their house made Italian dressing has a tomato base which was a first for me & somewhat unusual, but OK. I loved the banana pepper & crutons most on the salad. The lobster ravioli was excellent, with large pillows and good sized shrimp on top. The vodka sauce was very good! Their house made dinner rolls are nice, light, and herbed. One glass of wine was perfect for this casual Italian dinner in an upbeat decor. I also enjoyed the tiramisu dessert, light and creamy and dusted with powdered sugar and chocolate drizzle. A very enjoyable new (1 month old) spot - give it a try! Great value for the reasonable menu prices. Very good service by both who served me. NOTE: they offer a list of craft cocktails that I didn't try this trip, but it looks like it might be fun to come sit at the spacious bar & sip those with some appetizers or entrees! read more

Visited here on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. The bread was fresh and my glass was never empty. Food was delicious, will definitely come here again. read more

Outstanding local place in Plano. Tastefully done interior and everything is clean and spotless. All our entrees were excellent and the free house garlic rolls were warm and started us off on the right foot. We had chicken fettuccine, a meatball sub, Italian trio, Rigatoni special, and a side salad with house dressing. Everyone brought home leftovers from the plentiful portions. The owner, Kenny, stopped by to check that everything was good and the servers were friendly and efficient. Discovered this place after a lunch visit for pizza (also very good) and so glad we came back. Highly recommend for good food at very reasonable prices. read more

Food was great! It didn't take too long to receive our delicious food. And we thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers as well! The cheese bread was surprisingly tasty bc I wasn't expecting it to taste better than how it looks. The fried calamari is solid but nothing too crazy! But the chicken Alfredo was so good and creamy. My bf also really enjoyed the chicken parmigiana as well! The space is really nice inside and very clean. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

The food is excellent and service on point. Great entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights. Half off bottles of wine on Wednesday.

The food, service by Will, and ambience (especially when there's live entertainment on Friday & Saturday evenings) are the best at Roma Italian Bistro that I've found in the Plano-Dallas area. The lunch menu is very reasonably priced and comes with a salad & bread. This is a weekly staple for my husband & me! read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night and was not disappointed! We were seated immediately, the service was great, and the live music was fun (and not too loud). The lobster ravioli was so good. I could eat the sauce like a soup. Having the complementary garlic bread to dip in it was the cherry on top. Great local spot! read more

The chicken was over cooked across all the entrees. The marinara sauce on the margherita pizza was quite watery. In my opinion it needed less tomatoes and more basil, but okay ... that's personal preference. The real stand out of the visit was the singing. It was a great business decision, I must say ... because the abysmally dreadful singing murdering all your favorite songs really distracted from just how bad the food was. Four entrees and the only person that finished theirs was me ... more from a stubborn obstinacy that anything else ... I paid for it and it probably wasn't going to kill me, so I was going to finish it. Would not recommend to anyone who's health and or mental well being I valued. read more

The atmosphere was great, the servers and bartenders were the absolute best and were always kind. Of course, the best part was the food which was phenomenal, the pizza is great, the pasta is immaculate, and everything else is probably amazing too. read more

Everything was delicious . Great service ! Everyone was so polite . Such a great place !

Been waiting for this place to open. Went in for dinner and was pleased to see a variety of food with reasonable prices. We ordered the Tour of Italy - very yummy and The Rigatoni that came with sausage and meatballs. All very tasty!!! Two of the owners were there which is nice to see. Kenny was so welcoming and nice to talk to. Love how they have a full service bar and seats at the bar. We will be back soon!! read more

We'd never been here before but we googled something near our hotel and it popped up. The place was dead on a Sunday night but as soon as we walked in we were greeted by a guy named Tanner who was SO warm and welcoming and made us feel like honored old friends. He got us seated, brought our drinks, made enthusiastic and honest menu suggestions. We got the stuffed mushrooms, manicotti, garlic cheese/tomato bread, a stromboli and a lasagna. Everything was made fresh and came out piping hot and tasted homemade. Portion sizes were great, half of us took home leftovers. The free garlic bread was very tasty and soft/pillowy and warm. The places are very reasonable too - basic pasta runs you $10-14, more advanced stuff like shrimp, crab, lobster etc runs a bit higher but I didn't see much on the menu over $25. The atmosphere has great NYC photos everywhere and brick walls, very cliche Italian restaurant, with a full bar as well with a big selection. There are TVs mounted so I assume they show games etc sometimes. Tanner took awesome care of us and when the meal was done, he brought us dessert - a limoncello cake (TO DIE FOR) and their panna cota, which was fresh and very tasty and ooey-gooey goodness. read more

Food was great. Meatballs and Italian Sausage with Sauce to begin. Shared eggplant rollatini, chicken piccata and shrimp scampi with 6 fellow diners. Fabulous. Tanner was extremely attentive. Banfi wine was a perfect pairing. Co-Partner -Kenny - was a gracious host- he could not have made more of a fuss over our patronage. Beautifully decorated interior is open and inviting. Give it a try! We'll be back again. Happy Hour begins at 4pm. Full bar. read more
