I was literally raised in the hospitality industry for the first 27 years of my life. The general…read morerule of hospitality is this: Make sure the customer leaves happier than when they arrived. This particular McAlister's location on Preston Road in Plano, TX accomplishes this, and the reason all comes down to a single person: Nicholas. More on that in a moment. First, the food is consistently good. When you order something, it comes as expected, and it comes quickly, usually within just a couple of minutes of sitting down. And as a particular callout, if you're into fruit cups (my wife is), whoever this location sources their fruit through has got it on lock. Everything else is good too, but fruit cups can be tricky. No complaints on the food, at all. As for the restaurant itself, it's always clean and usually has some pretty good tunes playing in the background. You can pick a hightop, lowtop, or booth - whatever mood you're in, they've got them. Other than that, I'd say that it could use a bit more "localization" with some Plano or TX artifacts to make it a bit more welcoming, but it's fine. Now, about the manager, Nicholas... I'd hire this guy if I could. He makes you feel welcome the moment he sees you. He came out from the kitchen when he saw us arrive, gave us a fist bump welcome, and personally took our order. I don't think my wife and I are all THAT memorable, but he sure made it seem like he remembered us like we were part owners of the place. You just don't get that kind of feeling from restaurants these days. When we left, he held the door open for us. I truly hope the crew he has working for him appreciates what he's doing because he's putting on a masterclass in hospitality when he's working.

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
