I sometimes think reviews are written by someone affiliated with an organization or paid to write a review, this isn't either. This company has been around for a while and have always maintained the same pleasantry from the owner. I started shopping at Roma Textiles back in the early nineties and must say I admire their business practices. You get some of the best materials and notions at reasonable prices with much needed information from Frank. In case you're not convinced of what my opinion of this store, here's proof. I've moved 3500 kilometers from the vicinity and who did I call first? They have the products I need at a price I can afford with the right personality to keep me shopping there. read more

I visited Roma Textiles on the strength of Roma M.'s (no relation) recommendation and found it to be very accurate. I now adore this shop too. Roma Textiles has a large inventory that is neatly displayed. Their staff are helpful but discrete. Their emphasis is on wovens, with only the tiniest bit of knits. But their selection is marvelous. Like LA Fabrics on Queen, but on steroids. A huge and beautiful assembly of embroidered, beaded, and embellished fabrics. If you are looking for fabric for evening wear/bridal, this is your place. If you are looking for fabrics for day wear that skews to business formal, you will find an amazingly beautiful selection of lightweight, couture-house name silks, fabrics appropriate for trousers, skirts, fitted suits, etc. Menswear suit-type woolens were to be found in all weights, colours, patterns (pinstripes, houndstooth, etc). Suitings of all manner. I agree with Roma M.'s assessment - upon setting foot in this place, your mind immediately starts spinning with ideas for couture-style pieces. Prices are quite reasonable for the calibre of the fabrics, IMO. Also, they have out on their table the oh-so-wonderful Marfy pattern catalog to browse (as well as other glossy Italian couture periodicals). It was the current issue and apparently the order it regularly. So if you, like me, get very irritated with Marfy's on-line browsing facility, you could flip through actual paper pages of the catalog (though you'll still need to place the order yourself). Roma Textiles doesn't carry any patterns, not that you would expect them to, given the clientele that they cater to (i.e., dressmakers, designers, etc - those who draft their own patterns). read more

I don't understand how to explain all the lovely things I've heard and read about this store, seeing as both times I visited, the saleswoman was extremely rude and sarcastic to me, insisting my choice of fabric to match a dress would look "cheap" and that I was wasting my time. I'm sure she was knowledgeable, though read more

When I walked into the store, I almost cryed because they had such beautiful fabrics that I thought only sold in special, invitation only places in designer shops. I was so overwelmed. The staff was extremely helpful. I was so inspired that I bought some fabric and made a top with pants. They have designer fabrics which made me want to go to Italy for ideas. I went to Italy recently and came back with Armani influence in mind. I will be going back to Roma Textile this weekend for Armani fabric. What a store. They offer dreams to come true if you want to pick up that needle and thread. It is easier to work with great quality fabrics so don't be discourged if the fabrics might be alittle pricer than you are used to. You will not regret paying a few bucks more for beautiful fabrics. We are very fortunate in Vaughan Ontario to have a fabric store that offers great quality fabrics because I tried looking in Italy and I couldn't find any stores that offer designer fabrics. Must go and check them out. read more
