Roma - Italian Near Me - Sandston, Virginia

Roma is one of our go-to restaurants in Sandston. Service is friendly and their food is usually good. I enjoy trying their seasonal drinks and entrees, and some I've enjoyed more than others. Their desserts are a must and are always delicious! read more

Nice little local place with a good atmosphere. I would call this more American Italian the authentic but the food was ok. Started with Bang Bang Shrimp which I thought was odd for an Italian restaurant but is was not bad nevertheless. The garlic cheese bread was good but found the bread to be a bit doughy tasting and that was the same with the pizza crust. I am thinking they just needed to cook both items a bit longer. Wait staff were extremely friendly and offered suggestions. read more

Food was mediocre. The sauce was so hot that it was a soup. My husband's tomato sauce tasted like ketchup. Service was good and so was the tiramisu. Nothing to write home about. read more

I was in Sandston on a business trip and in the mood for some good Italian food. My hotel recommended Roma Ristorante, and as soon as I walked in, the aroma confirmed I was in the right place. I started with the calamari, asked for it cooked a little crispier, and it came out perfectly--tender inside, crispy outside, and paired with some really nice dipping sauces. For my main dish, I had the chicken piccata. It was beautifully presented, served hot, and bursting with flavor. To top things off, I grabbed a cannoli to go, which made for the perfect finish later. The service was excellent--attentive without being overbearing--and the whole experience left me impressed. Definitely a place I'd come back to when in the area read more

Our favorite Italian restaurant in Richmond area. Great menu variety. Sauce is thick, rich tomato flavor; meals served hot with homemade rolls fresh from the oven. Service is terrific and prices reasonable. And we like the atmosphere. We love the chicken parm and taste of Italy. Generous portions too. Highly recommend. read more

Good food and decent service, if this is the type of food that you enjoy, I don't think you can go wrong at Romas!

Food was amazing, staff super curious and professional. The scallops were very large and fresh. Certainly an Italian place to check out if you are in the Richmond VA area. read more

Roma - Linguini Di Mara with Marinara Sauce - Italian Near Me - Sandston, Virginia

First time in town. This place looked like a good choice. I was correct. We had the bruschetta. Very good. I had the best chicken piccata that I've ever had in my life. My friend had chicken parm. Again awesome! It's a nice, clean atmosphere. The service was spectacular. Definitely recommend. read more

Food was excellent and so was the service. I highly recommend the chicken rolotinni special.

Delicious! Portion sizes are great and the food tasted fantastic. It is a bit loud inside but we were there on a Sunday afternoon and it looked like they had several large groups. read more

Roma Ristorante brought more than one surprise that elevated them into rare 5 star territory for me. When researching a restaurant by Richmond International they seemed to be an obvious choice. Signage was easy to locate them and parking was not an issue on a Monday night. The parking area and walk up were clear of debris. A hostess greeted my party and immediately seated us in the main dining room with menus. Of note the menus were quality stock. A friendly server arrived for drink orders, I got a glass of house Cabernet. We put in for an appetizer of bruschetta. Our party was seated close to the small bar. The lighting, decoration of bourbon bottle displays and atmosphere was totally on point for me. They were having a Monday pasta night special which was considered. Ultimately with a long travel day and just arriving from the airport I went big and got the Trio. That's a combo of spaghetti, manicotti and chicken parmigiana. Our waitress warned us all the portions are large. My guest got the Lasagna. Both came with salads and bread. The app was pretty good. The wine was just ok, not sure what their house was. The bread warm and yum. Food orders hit the table around 30-35 minutes after ordering which was perfect. It allowed plenty of time for the app, bread and salads. The Trio was enormous and lasagna was formidable. Both were enjoyed and half the Trio was put in a to go. I mentioned to the waitress that I was crazy impressed with their bourbon menu. She pointed out that they offer a bourbon tasting night that always sells out and requires reservations. Desert was up next and they have a nice selection, ultimately the chocolate cake and tiramisu were chosen. They came out within minutes. My tiramisu was nicely portioned, light and flavorful. The chocolate cake was a wow! The close out of the check was smooth. Note they offer a 3.5% cash discount. As we ate desert the owner Antonio came to our table to thank us for dining with them. He learned from the waitress that I enjoyed bourbon. So we talked probably 10 minutes about his menu and more. I learned he has another location by the same name in Mechanicsville that his brother runs. Whenever a GM or owner checks on my table the review is elevated. However it's the rare bourbon menu which sealed their fate as a full 5 stars. They offer bottles few restaurants dream of having and the prices are good. Antonio himself a bourbon lover hand picks the collection. This is a sleeper location so far East of Richmond in Sandston by the airport, but they have their regulars. They have a strong bourbon following which is no surprise. Also they have options for event space. Check them out, I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

In VA for a family reunion with my husbands family. Ate here our first night here with them. Food was really good. Sat in the back room so they could accommodate the size of our group. Husband had the steak Stromboli and really enjoyed it. Oldest son had the chicken Alfredo and said it did not disappoint. Youngest son had the Arancini and Pene Ala Vodka. We have never had Arancini before and enjoyed it, rice balls filled with beef, peas, and mozzarella cheese. He said the pasta was good and really enjoyed the sauce. I had the chicken Cesar wrap. It hit the spot. Highly recommend!! read more

Have not ate inside at Roma's in some time.Decided to have an early dinner.Atmosphere is very nice with soft jazz or Spanish guitar music in the background.Service was great and friendly.I had the airplane chicken on the special sheet and my friend had the tour of Italy.Presentation was beautiful.Everything cooked perfect, seasoned perfect and presented perfect.Hope to return soon. . read more

Great stop as we were passing through the outskirts of Richmond. The arancini appetizer was delicious. We split a large calabrese pizza--roasted peppers and smoked sausage on a sweet (but not too sweet) marinara sauce. The pizza crust was hand-tossed and tasted wood-fired, with smoky crisp bits. Despite having plenty of the sausage on top, it wasn't even slightly greasy and felt light to eat. After a day of walking through VA parks and historical sites, this really hit the spot! Decent selection of beers on tap, wine by the glass, and a solid+ bourbon menu to boot. Our server was friendly and efficient, the prices were very fair, and service was fast! There were several pasta dishes that looked terrific but we were more than happy with our choice of pizza. read more

Service is great. The bread is delicious and when we finished the two rolls, the server asked if we would like more. As a starter we ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms. There were 6 large mushrooms to share. They were great. When finished we dipped our bread into the remaining cheese from the mushrooms. The main dishes were excellent. Ans as usual we had leftovers. The ambiance is pleasant. Nice looking rooms. The main room was full so we got the back room. I really like that area. Away from the main entrance. I decided to end with a cappuccino. There was backup of drink orders at the bar. So had to wait for the cappuccino. The cappuccino is worth the wait. But I couldn't finish. So server brought a take out cup for it. Asked first and I said yes. read more

Tiramisu- The chocolate syrup kind of ruined it for me (actual melted chocolate would be better than artificial syrup) so I didn't get a strong espresso flavor. Crab ravioli- It was good overall but it could be better. It tasted like they mixed in imitation crab meat or something else other than just good quality lump crab meat. I think if it was filled with only quality crab meat inside I would have loved it because the pasta and sauce were good. read more

Had a chicken sandwich at lunch. Wouldn't get it again. Have had other foods that were good. The service is always been good and the friendliness is nice read more

Excellent food and friendly, attentive service! Roma accommodated our granddaughter's soccer team, parents and coaches last night with only two days notice. We enjoyed a night of fun and celebration in the private dining area. Warm dinner rolls, caesar salads, chicken parm, fettuccini alfredo, and penne pasta were delicious. Service was excellent. read more

Takeout. This place is located in front of a crack motel on Williamsburg road. Nice ambience though and okay service. I felt a little attitude from the guy but maybe I was mistaken. I ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken tasted old. No flavor and utterly disgusting .I've had the pizza in the past. The pizza was good. 2 stars! I'm not impressed read more

We order the cheese pizza all the time. It's hot and delicious. The online website is easy to use and the pizza is always ready for pick up on time read more

I am crazy about Roma's and it's one of my favorite places to meet up with my friends for lunch or dinner. I always get the broccoli cheese soup to start my meal. It is the best I have ever had -- ANYWHERE! The cheesesteak is another favorite as well as the vodka penne pasta. The service at Roma's is always first-rate. I have always had a great host or server. I have also experienced the owner coming to our table to ask how things are. When I have come with a larger group of friends they have always been great about reservations. I highly recommend this place! read more

This place is a small cute restaurant with an excellent menu. They have a lunch menu with sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads, and lunch portion pastas. I decided to order the entree Greek salad with chicken. 2 downsides- it did not come with any bread or nan & they do not have Greek dressing (I opted for the Italian dressing). But the salad was delicious! I'd definitely go back! read more

Roma - Greek salad with chicken - Italian Near Me - Sandston, Virginia

Me and my husband absolutely LOVE this restaurant. We just discovered it and have been twice already; both times were ammmmazing. Ask for a side of ranch, they make it in house and it's DELICIOUS! They warm the bread (so good) and it's best dipped *in the ranch.* Trust me! Every entree we've tried has been very good so you really can't go wrong! read more

Food was good. Service left much to be desired. Server would not leave us alone to eat. She was there every 2 minutes. Got our salad dressings backwards ( Can't find fault there since they look so much alike) Appetizer didn't come out until after salads were served. Talking at dinner was out of the question since we were constantly interrupted. No plate for the bread to rest on. The plate under the very hot entree could not be retrieved. Had to guard my food like an animal for fear it would be whisked away. Husband had his utensils taken before the entrees were served and he had to ask another server for some. Other patrons in there brought their unruly children who sat in the booth next to us being constantly loud and obnoxious. Other patrons were loudly laughing and carrying on. Other than that....this was our Thursday night! read more

Food and service were both absolutely amazing. Caroline was my server and she was awesome! Great recs. Went with Tortellini Angelo and it was exquisite. Sooo good. Will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I visited after a long day driving. We were seated right away and greeted by our server promptly. Everyone from the hostess, to the bartender, to our server were incredibly friendly and polite, full of smiles. As for the food, we have simple tastes and just got mozzarella sticks and a personal cheese pizza. The cheese stickers were crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. The sauce served with the cheese sticks was so good! The pizza wasn't my husbands style, he liked it but I thought it was perfect! Great sauce, again, just the right amount of cheese and the crust was fantastic. We are visiting from Massachusetts but if I lived here, I'd be back! read more

The best steak and cheese in town. Whenever I need a sub or pizza one of these never disappoint.

Super friendly staff and great chicken piccata! I stopped in for a bite solo after a long work day and was very happy I did before heading back to the coast. Along with the great piccata I had a caeser salad and some great warm rolls. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by and have another meal. They even sat me at a table where I could watch the masters! read more

It's a good family restaurant. Lots of options. Almost too many! The lasagna was good but I would have preferred a more meatier lasagna. Drinks were great and my husband loved his food. read more

Nice family owned restaurant. Some of the food is a little over priced in my opinion but great food and service. read more

While we stopped there because if was close to the airport, I would definitely go back to try other dishes without an airport stop. Amazing service! We were in a hurry as we had to pick up our son. Our waitress suggested ordering subs. They were both delicious! We subbed the fries for garlic spinach! Best side I've had in a restaurant. They are not afraid of garlic! Highly recommend! Well decorated for the holidays. Great looking bar! We will be back! read more

Roma's is a high quality Italian-American restaurant that does a very standard menu of Italian red sauce food generally well with entree prices almost all under $20 for some generous portions. There are really no surprises here. If it's something you expect to see on a typical Italian menu, it's on this one. And they're generally well executed. Most entrees come with a salad option. But unlike many places they will sub soup or a side for the salad. And that's a good thing because the potato and bacon soup is fantastic. Filled with red skin potatoes and hunks of bacon, it's hardy and delicious. Entrees are generally solid. An order of Chicken Parmesan is substantial with a large side of pasta and a nice marinara. The chicken is a little overdone because it's an uneven piece of meat--can't nail a temperature if half the piece is thinner than the other half--but nicely breaded. Shrimp Alfredo comes with large shrimp that are perfectly cooked, but the dish is undermined by a thin Alfredo sauce that doesn't adhere to the fettuccine. The Tour of Italy is massive with lasagna, chicken, meatballs, pasta and more. Few can finish this one in a sitting and it's a solid value. Meals are accompanied by amazing fresh baked large rolls hot from the oven. Too bad they are served with that annoying butter in the tiny plastic tubs with the foil lids. Honor those awesome rolls with butter in a ramekin or at least foil pats if you have to go pre-portioned. Service is generally attentive with good attention to refills. The dining room is pleasant if a bit theme-park Italian (think the decor at Busch Gardens or at Italy in Epcot). Overall a very nice experience each time we visit. Recommended. read more

Has the Rockfish that was on the special menu.... It was excellent, fresh and steaming hot fresh from the pan. Recommend and will visit again next time in town read more

Solid, fresh Italian food. Reasonable prices and attentive wait staff. Love family owned places like this. We'll be back.

It's the best Italian restaurant I have ever tried!Caesar Salad fettuccine Alfredo tasted amazing!

I was recently in Richmond on business and was searching for a restaurant near my hotel on Yelp. Roma was somewhat close so I took a chance. Food was delicious, staff friendly and bar had some very good whiskey selections including Blantons bourbon. I was thrilled! It was late, I had to get up early so had a glass of white wine and planned to return the next night. I did and enjoyed my favorite bourbon that has become almost impossible to purchase in liquor stores. Sat at the bar, had a very nice conversation with bartender/owner, again delicious dinner and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I highly recommend Roma, just wish it was in Vero Beach, FL where I live! This is a real find for a local or traveler! read more
