This has got to be the best Italian place around, and for miles! Anything we have ordered has been top notch. We cannot recommend this place enough!!! 5 stars all the way!!! read more

Great food! Big servings! Service is good. There was a private party going on in the back and our server was waiting on the party. So we did not get the best service. We weren't told to pay at the register. So we waited. And waited. Then I hunted down another server and was informed to pay at the register. The food was amazing! read more

Lunch stop, wife Cesar salad + chikn, me lunch special trio lasagna/manicoti/ravioli that came with a side salad. They brought fresh garlic knot rolls + dipping olive oil with herbs that was really good! Bravo! Cesar dressing on our salads was good- not excellent, maybe house-made, maybe not. Lettuce quality (romain) was good. My lunch special dish was kinda a gooy bunch of chesse & sauce, hard to identify what was what in my trio, a bit greasy, but fine overall. Place was clean and staff was very pleasant. All I could hope for an a passing thru lunch stop read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem. I love to either eat the fried ravioli appetizer with a side Caesar salad or the lasagna with extra cheese or the ham calzone. You pretty much can't go wrong with anything here. read more

Love the ambiance and the food is so good. I usually have the Benito's special. It's wonderful with just the right amount of seasoning. I highly recommend this place read more

Great service with equally great food.You can not go wrong with any item on the menu.

Stopped here for lunch when driving through and it did not disappoint. AMAZING food and service - definitely recommend! The lunch specials are a great deal. The portions were huge and also came with a soup or salad. We ended up taking half of it togo. The bread and oil dip were delicious as well. It was a very cute place. I wish I lived closer because I would definitely return. read more

Great food and service every time we go. It's a little off the beaten path for us, but if we lived closer we would be there all the time. If you haven't tried their food stop in. The ambiance is great too. read more

Food was ok, not the best Italian by far. The ambience was so lacking, very old building with some pizza boxes in the window in back of restaurant. Watch for potholes in parking lot. Our waitress must have had a bad day cause I asked her to please turn down the ceiling fan twice and she literally said she can't do that she would have to turn off electricity. Funny but the other fans were either off or running slower. She didn't care obviously. I asked someone's else at the counter and she turned around to ask the same girl what to do?!?! Sad to say it ruined our time there as it wasn't warm. The salad had way and I mean way too much dressing. The bread was probably the best thing. We will not return, we have the best Italian restaurants in NWA so no need to. read more

Enjoyed having dinner here. I'm not from the area so when asking around of a place to eat this place was recommended. Chicken parm was excellent and my wife's chicken Alfredo was on point. Great food and great staff! read more

My wife and I decided to try this Italian restaurant today based primarily on its five star Yelp reviews. I would say it totally lives up to those reviews. First off, we were there for their lunch specials. These start with homemade bread and olive oil dipping sauce, totally excellent. We had two lunches, one was lasagna, and the other one was a pasta sampler. The portions and quality of the meals well exceeded our expectations, we each took half of our entrées to go. The restaurant has a very nice interior, and the wait staff was more than attentive. Unfortunately, we are traveling and will not be able to return, but I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Great food and great service I love most all pasta I would definitely go here again Definitely try their bread with the olive oil dip read more

This place really surprised us on our trip! To get quality Italian food in the middle of nowhere was no expected. I had their pasta trio which was the best of everything and also the Hawaiian pizza which I felt like needed a little more acidity or salt to it. Other than that, it was a great place to run into after a long difficult hike! read more

We have eaten here twice this week. First time, we ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Boy, was it tasty. And plenty of it. Chicken grilled to perfection. Wait staff was friendly and kept checking on us and meeting our every need. Loved the music. No tvs, which is super. Next time, we had their New York style Roma pizza. Again, delicious and huge. Fresh toppings and real cheese. Service again was spot on and friendly. Saw a plate of spaghetti and meatballs go out.wow..lots of meatballs. If you leave hungry, it is not their fault! Best kept secret in all of Arkansas. Highly recommend . Moderately priced. Worth the drive to eat there. Note..they do NOT serve alcohol, which is great for us. read more

Taking pictures of the food sadly did not occur to me, but the food was AMAZING. The bread that came to the table first was like a divine, heavenly cloud. The olive oil to dip it in was delightful. The bruschetta we had as an appetizer was very good. My shrimp linguine Alfredo was delicious. The service was good enough. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the area! read more

Honestly I don't know how they do it. THE BEST Italian food I have ever eaten and in a charming little town where everyone we met was friendly. Even my young kids were oohing and ahhing at the food. Plenty of sauce. The pasta is dreamy and cooked to perfection. The salads are fresh and the lettuce was crispy. I would drive over an hour out of my way to eat here. I got a plate with lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo. It was absolutely incredible. We stopped by on a road trip so we live far away from here and we are sad there's nothing like this near us. Our favorite meal on a very long trip. read more

The food is top notch. Let's get that out of the way right now. Now let's talk about the service. Every time I have been there the waitstaff has been attentive and friendly. I want to discuss one trip in particular. My son and I stopped by to pickup some food to take home. We ordered our food and had a seat by the door to wait. A waitress came over and asked if we would like to sit at a table where it was more comfortable and the cold wind wouldn't hit us every time someone opened the door. After a few minutes at our table the same waitress came over and asked if we would like anything to drink while we waited. We declined. A couple of more minutes later she returned and told us the owner wanted to buy us drinks (sodas) while we waited. That kind of service should be the standard, not the exception. read more

Roma Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Ozark, Arkansas

Astonishingly delicious Italian food found in a pothole-ridden bump-in-the-road tiny village in rural Arkansas. Our group of three have lived in Memphis for decades and are very familiar with Italian restaurants who claim to be "legendary" in their excellence - and none of them could touch the excellence we found at Roma Italian Restaurant in Ozark Ark. We started with pillowy soft garlic bread fresh from the oven - a wonderful complementary item brought to the table with a saucer full of balsamic vinegar dipping sauce thick with chopped fresh herbs and garlic. We also shared an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms that were roasted but still juicy and smothered in a luscious tomato cream sauce. That same blend of Alfredo and Marinara, their Alla Panna sauce, took on an even richer flavor when simmered with chicken and layered over pasta primavera. The veggies were perfectly sauteed and plentiful, topped with two servings of juicy, perfectly seared chicken breasts. All entrees we ordered were generous portions, but this one in particular could easily have been for a couple of adults - just grand. The eggplant rollades hit the difficult balance between crispy fried crunchiness and chewy, creamy, ricotta-filled decadence. The bright tomato sauce drizzled on top counterbalanced the richness and was bright, but not too tart; just right. The chicken parm also had that tangy, bright, fresh marinara, and the cutlets were roasted to perfection. Our server confidently covered all our questions and made us feel at home. The heavy traffic we saw (on a Wednesday night) of both take-out and dine-in from locals let us know we weren't alone in our appreciation. Dessert was an off-menu special - a gorgeous tres leches cake that was clearly made by someone who is used to cranking out top-shelf tiramisu. Overall, we could not have asked for a better dining experience, but since we live almost five hours away, we sure would love to see Roma open up a closer location. read more

This was a surprise out of no where in Ozark. First off the atmosphere was nice, the place was superbly clean, service was on point, and the food was excellent too! Is it a five star amazing Italian experience, no. Is it a surprisingly good Italian restaurant out of no where, yes. Oh, I forgot to mention that it was quite affordable with large portions too. Would I go back? Yes Would I recommend? Yes read more

Love the ham & cheese calzone! The lasagna is also amazing. My son loves their spinach artichoke dip. My son & husband both love their spaghetti with meat sauce. read more

The food was selectively okay. Lasagna was okay, spaghetti dishes very bland & lacking any spice. Chicken Calzones were good but not great again needing more spice. Setting was lacking in ambience was not impressed. Staff was friendly!! read more

We got the eggplant parmigiana and the Roma special pizza. The eggplant was cooked to perfection! Tender! Delicious! The pizza was huge and the service was excellent. Ordered the tiramisu. It was so good I got another one for breakfast tomorrow! The only downside to this place is they lack the ability to serve alcohol. Overall great food, great service and a great value for the price! read more

This place is THE SPOT. One of the best dinners we had along our entire road trip across the country. The house dressing was absolute with the salad and especially with their fresh bread. Service was excellent, and the entire space was done up nice. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Called in an order for pickup. The large Roma pizza was filling, hot, and had A wide array of toppings. We will be eating the leftovers today for lunch. read more

If you blink, you may miss it, but that would be a huge mistake! Italian at its best. All homemade, huge portions, and great taste! We are traveling west, and after asking someone at the campsite where to go, this is where they suggested. I'm glad we listened! I had Chicken Marsala, and the hubby had shrimp/chicken Alfredo. Make sure to leave room for dessert! We got it to go, and spilt it! So glad we got the chocolate explosion! read more

Not the prettiest place from outside but the food is top notch especially for such a small town. All the meals are ver my large in size. Chicken Marsala was enough for two people. The chicken Caesar salad is so delicious read more

Excellent Italian food. Everything I have tried is so delicious. Great service and nice atmosphere. Friendly people. Pizzas are some of the best I've had.

Got hungry while driving from Tulsa to Little Rock and found this place on Yelp that looked good. That is quite an understatement. I ordered the eggplant rollatini and a salad. The salad was delicious; try the house dressing for sure. Unless you dislike cheese, the rollatini is superb. The tastes blend perfectly. It was served directly out of the oven, too hot to eat. I had to allow each bite to cool on the fork before I ate it. I cannot fail to mention the Italian rolls. My only problem was that there was just too much food (shouldn't have ordered the salad and shouldn't have eaten but one roll), but I got a to-go box for half the rollatini and cajoled an extra roll and had my dinner-in-a-box. A memorable experience. read more

Roma Italian Restaurant - Rollatini - Italian Near Me - Ozark, Arkansas

Best kept secret outside of NYC Little Italy. This is quite a terrific surprise. I was staying at the hotel next door. Tired from a long drive. Frankly, just headed for the pizza hut to get something hot. I saw a lot of folks going in. Roma has an extensive menu that includes pizza, NYC style. They were packed with locals eating in and taking out. I had spaghetti with sausage and a giant fresh dinner salad with three fresh baked small loaves of bread. On the side plate was olive oil and seasoning for the bread. Service was fast and energetic. Total cost minus tip...$13.95. i had a giant box of all items for take home. Ozark is a somewhat small town 70 miles from little rock and 250 to Memphis. The Ozark Inn next door is clean and inexpensive on booking.com. Both are on the edge of the Ozark trails and scenic vistas about 4 miles away. read more

I'm from Ozark and have visited Roma more times than I can count. Each experience has been as good as the last. A complimentary appetizer of homemade bread and with a dip of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, capers and basil is offered--I would go to Roma and just eat this if I could! Huge portions at a decent price. In the past I was in love with the Eggplant Parmesan--it's phenomenal and vegetarian, too. A must-try, really. Their soups and salads are fresh and delicious. Pizzas are good. I really wrote this review because of my waitresses. I'm vegan now and was nervous finding foods that would suit me. But the waitresses were all so accommodating, offering me fresh bread without butter or cheese and checking my order twice to avoid errors. They're amazing! Be sure to check out Roma for delicious food and top service! read more

Mega plates! We had soooo much food on our plate! Very delish. Clean little restaurant and waitstaff were so attentive. Would eat here again when in the area. read more
