Robert S.

This is an Italian style market and grocery store in Federal Hill, close to Venda and Tony's. The three of them compete for shoppers looking for the best quality and best deal on Italian meats, prepared foods, groceries and pastries. I have been here many times and even though is the smallest of the three neighborhood markets, they do have a good selection of items that can easily be enjoyed at a picnic somewhere in the vicinity of our city. The staff at the deli and cheese counter is not very friendly but they will get whatever you ask them for. The lady at the bakery section is usually more friendly.

Slice of cheese, fresh tomato and basil Pizza. Nice dry thin crust and quality ingredients make this a must if u go to Roma.
Enid R.

One of the few true Italian deli/pizza/bakeries left on Federal Hill. Numerous Imported Italian deli options, prepared foods, Italian bread, imported Italian groceries and baked Italian delicacies are just some of the items you can get at Roma. Personally I love their slices of Pizza and breads. Prepared hot and cold foods are delicious as well! Prices are affordable and a good value for the quality and portions.

The Roma's Famous Original Italian Grinder
Pauline C.

Quaint little authentic Italian grocer and deli, serving up delicious affordable sandwiches, panini, wraps, pizzas, and variety of other hot foods. Amongst the other fancier busier options blocks away on federal hill, this might be smaller but you certainly will not be disappointed by either the food or service! There is also ample seating in the dining area to enjoy the yum yums on site! Pastry counter offers a solid selection of treats, which will pair wonderfully with the perfect espresso! Cold cuts were sliced perfectly thin and expertly packaged with precision, prepare to wait a bit if there is a line, but 100% worth it!

Super crispy Sfogliatelle
Gabrielle Z.

Roma has been open since 1983, and for good reason as their pastries are outstanding! I grew up on Sfogliatelle and they have some of the best I've ever had -- super crunchy and flaky exterior, with a light and creamy filling that has the perfect hint of candied orange. I pride myself on being a cannoli connoisseur and I have to say that their cannoli is some of the best I've ever had. I was worried because they don't fill them on the spot, but rather they're prefilled in the case; however, the shell was still super crunchy and fresh, and the filling was silky with only a slight grain from the ricotta. I also appreciate that they don't put chocolate chips in the filling. Staff was super friendly in this quaint little shop. You can also get breads, canned sauces, and other Italian provisions. Even meats and cheeses! Follow @bigtastebestplace on Instagram for more.

Roma's Large 18" Specialty Pizza

A cute, inviting place. Their pizza is delicious, thin crust style that wasn't overly salty nor greasy. Good size for the price. The fries was plentiful but could have been fried longer to be crispier. You will likely be tempted to buy additional sides and Italian groceries when visiting the store. Friendly staff. Would definitely try again!

Stromboli with spinach, cheese, and meats. Arancini with bolognese, marinara, cream soda, pastries
Kristine Z.

Lovely shop with plenty of options and attentive staff! I would definitely love to come back for more items and specialty foods. There is also a large space for eating after ordering the food. We tried the following items: Stromboli with spinach, cheese, and cured meats: massive portion filled with spinach and other goodies Arancini with bolognese: crunchy after rehearing and quite rich Fig pie slab: super sweet and filled with fig jam, the pastry shell is very hard so it's a bit awkward to eat, probably not recommended Cream puff like pastry: tastes like a cannoli and cream puff! Filled with a cream that isn't too sweet Cream soda: sweet and refreshing, made locally I believe

Traditional Zeppole ($3.25) and eclair ($3)
Nick C.

Love his place! To celebrate some of St. Jospeph's Day, I bought a traditional zeppole ($3.25). It was very good as the custard was so tasty with a hint of lemon and the dough was light and perfectly fried. I also got an eclair ($3) and a slice of their Siclian style pizza ($2.50). The eclair was a steal for $3, one of the best I've ever had! It felt like it weighed 2 pounds and the chocolate ganache frosting was out of this world. The slice of pizza was huge and the tomato sauce was the best part. It was simple, fresh and perfectly sweet. My only complaint is that the bottom wasn't crispy at all. I've made Sicilian style pizza from scratch, (sfincione), and the crust is crispy while keeping the dough light and airy. Also, their Sicilian bread loaf is unreal. $4 for their smaller one but it's still enormous. I've seen other bakeries have that quality and size for $6 or more. It's becoming my favorite place on the hill. They have everything such as prepared food, bomb sandwiches Italian grocery products, pastries, bread, pizza, etc. So much more affordable than Tony's Colonial and very well priced in general.

Jason B.

A solid opition among many on the hill. Friendly people and a decent pizza. Sauce and crust were both good, and while the cheese tasted a little old, it wasn't bad. Obviously parking can be a challenge, but its definitely worth another look.

So we had just left a bakery that I had been excited to go to and hadn't planned to stop anywhere…read moreelse. I wanted to take my pastries back to my hotel room and live in sweet indulgent bliss. However, my husband is a huge nerd and anime happens to be one of his afflictions and there was a mural on the side of a wall that he wanted to take a picture at. After the photo, we noticed some fun Japanese items in the windows of the store by the mural, so we decided to just come on in and take a look. Wow! This shop was fantastic!!! I fell in love with Japanese stuff when I was a child and this place is a wonderland of food and items. I was actually kind of jealous because I haven't even been able to find some of the fun stuff that I wanted to try from social media in Las Vegas (and we have a lot of Japanese stores in Las Vegas). The shelves are lined quite nicely and the person working was pretty nice. Overall, I'd come in quite a bit if I lived in this neighborhood.

I walked up and down the street to see what was open and then it hit me. My Grandfather use to take me here on the weekends when I was a kid so I had to head over there and take a walk around and get a sandwich and see what else they had to offer.On to the review! I walked in the store and was greeted with smiles and I walked around and was offered if I needed help with anything. I just walked around for 10 minutes to just soak up all the stuff they had which is like everything! I ended up settling with an Italian Grinder and some Tarrone Italian dessert thing that that my Grandfather loved getting for Christmas time. Itlian Grinder - I have to say the grinder was pretty good ! It had a pretty good meat to veggies to bread ratio! The bread had a crunchy crust but soft on the inside. Tarrone - Just as I remembered from back in the day soft sweet and filled with nuts, O did that bring up memories of being a kid and hanging out with Grandad! Over all, I really enjoyed my time there and enjoyed sitting down eating my sandwich and having some great small talk with a wonderful employee that walked at the register. I didn't get her name but she was a sweet person! The place was very clean and had a great vibe to it! Keep it up over there Venda! I will be visiting again soon!

I have a funny little update for anyone who is interested:…read more In August, I bought a monstera deliciosa in a grower pot from Urban Greens for ~$16. I was siked with my purchase as it was. A healthy monstera (no bugs, no root rot, no distress, no disease) for under $20 is always a win in my book. Then I realized that there were probably at least a few individual plants within this one grower pot. I'm a green thumb but I'm also a very busy green thumb, so it took me an embarrassingly long time to get the proper soil for this project. I finally tackled the task of separating & repotting this plant this past weekend. You know those scarves that clowns pull out of questionable places that just keep going & going & going & going & going? & that's the whole bit? Well that was me with separating this monstera. I was the clown & the monstera was the scarf. Any guesses as to how many viable separate plants I divided the original into? My guess (prior to tackling this task) was ~8. The verdict: 20. That's right. I just kept separating more & more & more plants off of the original mama monstera until I had a comical pile of little lads in front of me. So anyways, now everyone I know is getting a baby monstera as a gift from me for any occasion for the next foreseeable future. I have 5 monsteras in pots & another army of monsteras propagating in water. Talk about bang for my buck. $16 for one monstera was already exciting but $16 for 20 monsteras? Unbelievable. Thanks, Urban Greens Market, for my army of monsteras!

I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

Ellie's is dangerous. I walked in thinking coffee and one pastry. That lasted about 30 seconds…read more The owner (adorable, by the way) was walking around checking on tables and making sure everyone was happy. It feels like her place in the best way -- warm, proud, hands-on. Pastries are legit. Super buttery, flaky enough to make a mess, clearly baked that morning. No sad, sitting-around-all-day vibes. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and that tomato jam needs to be illegal. Sweet, savory, slightly tangy -- it completely makes the sandwich. I kept trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. Not happening. Crispy chicken sandwich was properly seasoned and not dried out (why is that so hard for some places?). Fries were solid too -- crispy, not limp. And the kale salad with roasted chickpeas and chicken made me feel like I had my life together. Fresh, simple, and actually satisfying. It's one of those places you stumble into while traveling and then immediately start googling whether you can justify going back the next day.
