The linguine with white clam sauce has a lot of clams and little neck clam shells (legit!) and very saucy. I wish I saved some garlic knot to dip in the sauce. I added red chili flake and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Oo it's quite delicious. We didn't have any room left for dessert! Highly recommend this cozy spot and the service was superb and fast, everyone super friendly. I might have messed up my order but it was fixed right away!

I particularly liked the bruschetta because it was quite different from a traditional bruschetta. It came with roasted cherry tomato and house-made ricotta on one, and roasted butternut squash, Brussels sprout leaves and crushed hazelnut on the other. I really enjoyed trying something a little different! The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka was also really good, with Italian sausage, crispy pancetta, shaved garlic, basil and Grana Padano. Service overall was great. Our waitress was super friendly and checked on us throughout the meal to make sure we were happy with everything. The restaurant was buzzing when we visited for lunch on a Saturday, but there was still plenty of seating. It's nice and bright inside and located in a great area with plenty of parking. I'd definitely come back!

The restaurant did right by us, replacing fhe tiramisu and removing it from the bill. However, service was rather slow, which could be attributed to it being a Friday or the bar just being backed up, but it did take a long time to get any drinks.

I went with the House Salad and it was excellent.It was topped with fresh tomatoes, olives, onion, cucumber and a sweet,tangy vinaigrette. The bronzino can be seared, grilled, or baked; I chose grilled. It's served "floating" in a rich sauce with rice-shaped pasta and broccoli. The fish was flavorful, though a bit softer than I expect from grilled. I would've also prefered slightly less salt on the pasta, Overall I give Mangia's 4 stars for service, food, ambience, and decor. I'd definitly come back to try more of their many dishes.

And while it was steak, the kitchen's skill was shown through the excellent sauce that accompanied it. The service was attentive, including the host staff who graciously moved us outside. I was quite pleased on that front. Ambiance/decor is fine. But the inside of the restaurant is loud. Like, really loud. If you're hard of hearing like my mother, it will be impossible to talk inside. And if you don't like practically yelling to communicate, it will be uncomfortable. There were also issues with their AC this visit so it was stuffy inside. These (hopefully one-off) issues notwithstanding, I would definitely go back to Il Bracco and probably will in the future.

After few visits with family and friends I decided to write a review about my experiences at Roma's Italian Kitchen. First, I want to mention that at this restaurant you will find both Romanian and Italian specialty foods. Second, I want to emphasize to my Romanian co-nationals that if you want to experience "homemade" food "ca la mama acasa" this is not the place for you as this place has state of the art traditional Romanian cuisine prepared by a professional team of expert chefs trained on the Mioritic plains :). Therefore, this is the real deal. Here is my impression about the few dishes I tried: Romanian Pork Meatballs are outstanding. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, condimented just right with fresh herbs...this dish you must try. My only complaint is that there were only three meatballs...I could have easily eaten ten...or maybe twenty. Finger-licking good (use your hand sanitizer first). Tripe Soup. Excellent beef soup with all necessary accessories on the side, (garlic sauce, sour cream, jalapeño) let's put it this way...I always buy two extra for the next day. Delicious. Skinless Sausage. The portions of these grilled sausages are very generous...I can only eat two out of four and they are sooo juicy I am always afraid I am going to stain my clothes when I eat these :) Yummy. My husband and I had Savarine for desert. And although these were wonderfully succulent as the cake was soaked in syrup, for me, were just a little bit too sweet. Victoria, (my American friend) had lasagna- she let me taste hers- and OMG we ranted and rave about it all evening and we still do ever since. Aside from the fact that the presentation was perfect, it was moist and tasty; the portion was so big she took home half to have some for lunch the next day. This was a double win: "gustoso" and economical. Victoria also shared her desert, which was Amandine...a chocolate cake I also found a little on a sweet side. You guess it... I am not a sweets person; however, there is nothing wrong with these delicious deserts as they are exquisite. Finally, the atmosphere at Roma's Italian is friendly, very pleasant; the restaurant is spacious, luminous, and clean. The service was impeccable and Lucian-our server- did everything in his power to be hospitable so we could have an amazing experience. We did every time and we'll go back. Often. read more
