ROMA VIEW - SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 2026 On the occasion of our 40th wedding anniversary, we held our celebration at Roma View. From the tour of the facility to the signing of the contract, both Eric and Laurie were consummate professionals. We had at our avail, the suite downstairs to change clothes and relax. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and there was an attendant to address your needs if you had any. Renee, the Matra D, took very good care of us. Her team of wait staff and the bartender were hospitable and cordial to all my guests. I want to also acknowledge the parking attendants and the hostess at the front desk. They greeted us with warm smiles and cheerful dispositions. The room was spectacular. It fit all 92 of my guests with room to spare. The food was tasty and plentiful. We had the brunch with roast beef as our choice at the carving station and unlimited spirits. The cash bar was additional. I added fish to the menu for those who might not want to eat meat. Along with the strawberry filled cake that was part of the package, I ordered the mini Viennese Display. This wowed everyone! My favorite was the lemon merauge pie pieces - scrumptious! Joe, you have a phenomenal crew! From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for helping to make our special day SPECTACULAR! read more

We had such a wonderful experience at Roma View for my sister's bridal shower! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredible from beginning to end. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. A special thank you to our maître d', Gisselle, who was truly outstanding! She was so helpful, attentive, and on top of every single detail throughout the entire event. She made everything so easy for us and allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. Lori from the office was also amazing and so helpful throughout the entire planning process. She was always responsive, accommodating, and made everything leading up to the event so easy for us. We absolutely loved the space. It was beautiful, fully private, and perfect for our bridal shower of about 50 guests. We had plenty of room and never felt crowded. Roma View was also very affordable for the quality of the food, service, and space they provided. Everything came together beautifully, and our guests had such great things to say about the food and venue. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and would definitely recommend Roma View for anyone looking to host a special event! read more

Went for Easter with my entire family. The appetizers were great along with the quick service. After that it turned into a Spanish wedding. Endless Hispanic music and dancing with zero food. Waited 2 hours for entrees only to have them drive cold with endless excuses. Extremely disappointed and will never come back or book this venue ever. Wow. Such a sad sad situation read more

Love the variety of events that they have. Also our private Events. Always great service. Love the special effects and live entertainment. The photographer is absolutely fantastic read more

I had my birthday party at Roma View on June 6. From the seamless booking with Eric, the handling of the name cards with Lori, to the excellent service by the maitre d' and her staff and barman, it was a truly phenomenal experience. The food and cake were delicious, the room was beautiful, and the table settings were elegant. The level of professionalism displayed by every staff member during this entire experience was impeccable. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Roma View for making my birthday celebration memorable and stress-free. read more

Absolutely not ! Zero stars Anyone tells me they are having an event here, I'm not coming. This place needs a major upgrade with the food. It was horrible, just all around the few people I spoke to did not enjoy it AT ALL. My daughter hated the salmon, she didn't eat. The steak I heard was just as bad from another table. I'm a vegan so I called a month prior to this event to make sure they had options for me. The woman in charge (I forget her name) assured me all would be fine. The day of the event guess what...she had no idea what VEGAN was! (Why didn't you say anything when we spoke over the phone) You're in the catering business and you have no idea what vegans eat. That blew my mind! I had to sit there and try to explain it to her. That's NOT what I want to do at a family event. Nor do I need to hear comments on why would anyone be a vegan. She was much much older than I was so I was trying to be respectful but I was also starving. I have pictures of the sad plate of veggies they brought out for me with the tasteless pasta. A family comes here to share in a special moment together. Money was spent on all of your services including open bar, DJ & most importantly the food, etc. This place needs to do better! I would not recommend this place to anyone! Good luck read more

A few weeks ago I attended a function at ROMA VIEW catering. The food was good, I ordered the chicken with lemon sauce, very tasty, the vegetables that came with it were cooked just right. The pasta course, large portion, cooked al dente, with a nice red sauce. All the appetizers, I don't recall all we had, they were all good. Nice view of the bay. read more

Had our daughter's sweet 16 here. The team was so professional and courteous. The food was great and our Maitre'd Robert ensured that service was top notch. Thank you to everyone for making the night very special. read more

I had my birthday party here last year and it was beautiful and a very good space! The ceiling decorations are very pretty, the food was amazing, and the staff is very nice! Also the bathrooms are clean and nice and have a bunch of toiletries and necessities you may need. They also give you the bridal suite to get ready and leave you things. Also it was good pricing. But during the party we decided to add another hour which was an additional $1000. Ultimately the party turned out really great! Oh and they have a flower wall in the hallway to take pictures with. read more

My sister hosted a surprise 50th birthday party last night at Roma View and it was such a great night. We had the largest room and an amazing staff to go with it. Our maitre d', Angela, was phenomenal. She was very sweet, accommodating, helpful, and on point. She aided our friend in charge with trying to keep everything going smoothly and keeping everyone happy since there were children at the party as well. Servers were also very attentive and friendly. Food was fantastic and my sister told me that Angela was thoughtful enough to wrap up some of the leftover food for her, noticing that she was running around without a chance to eat. It had been a brunch from 1:30pm to 5:30pm. She was able to get in early to decorate and set up and all was great; from the dj, the photo booth, kids entertainment, and photographers who were able to post pictures of the party on the projector screen as the party went on. Thank you to the valet and coatcheck as well for your attentiveness. Roma View truly went above and beyond with their accommodations and on behalf of my family we are very thankful to everyone there. They are a Howard Beach staple for good reason. Five star service and highly recommend for all your important life events. read more

Roma View is the most top notch caterer in the world! They cater our union holiday party annually. Angela is a seasoned professional that attends to our every request at the highest level of customer service. The food is exemplary. Eric did a great job planning our event. (A real Pro). We are the ushers and ticket takers for the Mets, Yankees, Madison Square Garden, Nassau Coliseum, UBS Arena, Brooklyn Cyclones, & Staten Island. Ferryhawks. We highly recommend Roma View and will return! read more

Attended a fund raising comedy show here last night. $80 for a full buffet, unlimited wine, dessert and coffee. And comedy. Buffet had multiple salads, bread, bowtie pasta ala vodka, eggplant rollatini, stuffed mushrooms, linguine with white clam sauce, chicken parmigiana, chicken francese and broccoli rabe with sausage. Dessert was a plate of assorted mini Italian pastries. My date and I went through three bottles of wine. Food was good. The comedy was good. The three bottles of wine made it better...... read more

Birthday celebration with the family. Loved the ambiance of the place. The staff were extremely helpful and on point in keeping everything fresh on the tables from the water to soda to drinks from the bar. Totally top notch. The food we had was excellent all around from the salad to main course. Excellent bar selections as well. My only disappointment was the coffee served for dessert(weak in flavor) but hey, not everyone can handle strong espresso so I'm allowing that to slide. Loved the view of the channel outside the window even though it was nighttime but still nice. All Covid-19 measures were observed and enforced so all can enjoy the venue safely. We had a fantastic time and look forward to coming back again for an event when an opportunity arises. read more

Came here for my cousins sweet sixteen and it was a lovely venue I'm never in this area. You would think parking would be hard for the area... thank god there is Valet. Which was smooth Staff was nice and helpful while I was there I enjoyed the food as well read more

We tried Roma View this year for Easter. It's the only holiday when we go out as a family mainly for the children activities offered. We were all impressed with the delicious food, music and atmosphere; the service was impeccable. The only issue we had was there weren't enough activities for the kids. The girl they hired in charge of the children's entertainment did nothing but face painting. At other venues we have gone over the years, the entertainment for the children was face painting, balloon animals, dancing games with the children and pictures with the Easter bunny. The girl walked in and out along with the bunny. A little disappointing. read more

This was where my sister had held her engagement party for about 50-60 guests. She picked the basement room which I was a bit shocked about, but it worked beautifully! It had a separate set of bathrooms just for us and excess to outside for all the smokers, both of which were very convenient. The bar was small, but functional in the corner and there was a raised section for the DJ to set up so we weren't screaming to each other over the music. The food was really nice - tomato and fresh mozzarella to start the night off, along with pasta and tomato sauce. We had our choice of four entrees and dessert was the engagement cake that they included upon booking. Very affordable pricing too compared to other places. Workable staff all very close to home; she might even pick here again for the wedding! Possibly see you in 2012! read more

This review is just for the day of activities. We had a wonderful maitre'd, Carlos, who made the night run so smoothly. He was patient and accommodating with everyone he worked with and made us all feel very comfortable. We had a buffet dinner and the food options were all delicious. The bartender was okay and could make basic drinks. Everyone on the staff that night was great and helped make it a fun and smooth event. read more

I have been coming here the past couple of years because my cousin has been hosting a Christmas Party here. The food has always been really good. A great selection of Ribs, pasta, Chicken Parm, A few Vegetable dishes and such. The DJ was pretty good 2 years ago, last year the music did not seem as great. In our group we had somewhere between 30 and 36 people in the crowd so that was cool. There are other groups also there sharing the same space, other Job christmas parties but everyone looked like they had a good time. There is valet parking here but you can park on the street at Cross Bay Blvd if you know the area (just check the signs). read more

I am so late with this review but I had my 60th Birthday Celebration at Roma View on August 9th. The staff was amazing starting with the day that I went in to book the date. I was extremely late but my guests were well taken care of during the cocktail hour. Everyone raved about the continuous flow of appetizers during the cocktail hour. They talked about the shrimp to no end. The food was delicious and I really didn't understand that until the next day when I was able to eat from the take home containers that were prepared for me. During the setup of my step n repeat the curtains didn't really go well with the banner so the staff created a draping with table cloths having the top look like roses and it was PREFECTIf you are looking for a place that gives you elegance based on your budget...then Roma View is the place for you. read more

So I did a review last year on how accommodating and caring Roma View were during Covid and my daughters party. Well her party FINALLY happened last night and they deserve more praise!! From the staff, to the DJ, the food, and the overall room, her party was amazing and it lived up to everything this place promised and more. The food was delicious, the staff were impeccable and their DJ Musicflex were the cherry on top!! Thank you Eric and to all the amazing staff at Roma View for making my baby girl happy!!! read more

Every event i attend at Roma View is wonderful. The staff is great, very friendly. The food is delicious, the quiche at the brunch buffet is AMAZING! I appreciate how clean the location is. The guys at the valet parking are also super nice. read more

Just came from a sip and paint night here with my family. Let me start off by saying the place itself, BEAUTIFUL. The bathrooms were freakin immaculate = A++. Every SINGLE part of the wait staff was friendly; inviting and SUPER attentive. Even with about 10 different tables, they made their rounds quick. Hors d'oeuvres were OUT OF THIS WORLD. Consisted of, fried Mac and cheese triangles, chicken wings; fried ravioli (my mouth drooled eating these), pigs in a blanket, mozzarella sticks, pizza squares, jalapeño poppers, fried pickles, bruschetta and sauces to go with. When I tell you I am such a picky eater; everything was ON POINT! Their wine was also a very smooth and delicious Pinot Grigio- La Bella. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I wish I could've appreciated the water view but I'll be back. Very busy area in Howard Beach but they have VALET, so convenient! My mom took a card as she's starting to look for halls for my baby shower and I'm pretty sure her mind is just as made up as mine! Cannot wait to go again. read more

I've done two recent events at Roma View (my bridal and baby showers) and both times I was super happy with the experience! The staff is super responsive and accommodating. My guests always really like the food. Our Maitre D Robert was great during our baby shower. I definitely recommend Roma View for your special events! read more

My family has had many parties here. I had my Sweet 16 here and couldn't of had a better time! This catering hall is owned by the same family as Giardinos and Russos on the Bay- both of which I am at often for parties seeing as I have a pretty big Italian family that knows how to partayy! Roma View has 3 different sized rooms for your party needs, all with dance floors in the middle of the seating area. The 2 rooms on the main floor have a great view of the water at their back windows. Whenever we plan parties here we are always assisted efficiently and have many options. I have had both buffet and sit down meals here and I always enjoy the food. Classic Italian specialty dishes with great flavor. read more

Went to a Christmas party on a Monday night.. valet parking was cool. Entrance was fine went into the wrong party went to other room down stairs. Definitely change in temperature, much colder down here. Open bar bartender was very good. Had the eggplant parmigiano, very tasty. The servers were not generous with the portions a few of my colleagues shared with me. Dessert cookies were good. Overall experience was ok. I guess during the daytime there is a view. read more

After going to a few events in the past and my mother having my father's retirement party here a few years back my now husband and I were convinced this was the right place for our wedding. We met originally with Kathy for our original booking but everything there after we worked with Eric. Both Kathy and Eric were very professional, helpful and genuinely nice people. Eric was excellent at answering all our questions and helping to solve any problems we had. We couldn't afford their wedding packages so they were willing to do one of their premium dinner packages with some of the wedding amenities. It was nice being able to make those little changes and tweaks, other catering halls wouldn't make those changes for us. I felt like they were willing to do anything to make sure we had the special day we wanted. We received a price that worked for us and the service and quality of food we received was worth so much more than we paid! They have 3 different sized rooms to choose from, all of which have a dance floor. We had the Rhapsodie Room (their largest room) and my goodness was it gorgeous. We had a beautiful view of the water which made our day feel just a little more romantic when we saw a flock of swans swimming on the water (not their doing, but without the view we would have never seen it) We had both our ceremony and our reception in the same room and the staff were amazing at getting everything done and making sure everything ran smoothly and on time. We had a few delays but none were the fault of the staff. We were given white gloved service and the waitstaff were extraordinary. They were extremely helpful to both my husband and I and our guests. Anything we needed we didn't have to ask twice. My mother is handicapped and in a wheelchair and they went above and beyond to help her. The main floor is handicapped accessible. They have a ramp for wheelchairs to get in and out of the venue and the bathrooms on the main floor are handicapped accessible. I don't know about the downstairs room, since you do need to walk down steps to get to the room so I would assume it is not handicapped but I cannot confirm this, you would have to speak with someone at Roma View for a definite answer on this. But the waitstaff came to my mother regularly to ask if there was anything she needed or wanted. We also had a guest who was suffering from cancer (my brother's girlfriend) and became ill during the reception. She was also in a wheelchair and They brought her to one of the rooms that was being unused for some privacy and provided her with anything she needed. I felt that was just amazing. They didn't have to do anything for her, she could have just left but they made sure to help her so they could stay. I felt that was just spectacular service. I don't remember the name of the gentleman who basically ran the show for us that evening but I'd like to give some kudos to him. I believe he was the wait staff captain. He kept the ball rolling that night and any problems we had were fixed immediately. We had an issue during our toasts that a special set of toasting flutes for our maid of honor and best man went missing. He found them in no time and swapped them out with the original flutes they were given. He made sure that all the significant parts of our wedding such as the cake cutting, and the bouquet and garter toss were done at the right times. A few times he had to take us from our guests but he was extremely polite and professional. The food was phenomenal. Classic Italian cooking but it was all delicious! Their appetizers are to die for especially their Coconut Shrimp and Filet Mignon Skewers! They did make substitutions and changes for anyone with allergies. Our wedding cake was included in the price of our event and was baked on premises. We had a beautiful three tiered wedding cake which was red velvet with cream cheese filling. The cake was absolutely amazing. It was decorated with icing roses in the color of our wedding. I was very impressed with that, it was a nice little surprise. I was over the moon with the food and service I received on our very special day. I will definitely have many more events in the future at Roma View. read more

My cousin had an event here, and I assisted with coordination, therefore rating from that point of view. This venue was stellar and would rate higher if I could. Details were immaculate, maitre'd, Rene was great with coordinating food service and providing staff support. Highly recommend!! read more

I've been here a number of times for various showers, communions, etc. The food is okay. Typical Italian catering hall food. I was here in November for a shower and instead of lunch it was brunch food and this was 100 times better than the regular lunch I've always had. The breakfast foods were pretty good. Had some pastas. The Alfredo tortellini were good but the second batch the sauce was soooo watery. Bloody Mary's were okay but no celery stalk, what's up with that. The younger staff though could be more attentive and less clumsy. read more

The food and service was great! We had an amazing time at my sisters sweet 16! Great staff and service.

My family has had many affairs at Roma view and they are never a disappointment. Food, service, decor! Its all there......you can put your trust in Roma view catering in Howard beach. They also put extra attention to your special requests. Thank you especially to Angela! My favorite matrade . read more

I will start from the very beginning. My first call I had spoken to Eric,I had explained I was looking to have a bridal shower for my daughter and gave him the date. He was very pleasant and patient on the telephone. He looked up my date, gave me all the information I needed, and was not at all pushy about me having my party there, I thanked him and said I would get back to them if I choose to have my party there. I went on a day that I did not have an appointment, because I happen to be passing the venue, from the minute I walked in I felt like my party was the most important party they would have. Cathy was so lovely and accommodating, even though I just walked in unannounced, I booked my party with her and walked out feeling very confident that it would be a good party. I felt like I couldn't have picked a better day to go there. From that day, I had received three or four phone calls asking me for different things they needed or to explain something to me about my party. Always following up and letting me know they were there to make my party perfect. On the day of my party, I arrived and was greeted by Christina the second I walked in. Christina was the Maître d' in charge of the party. Christina was so accommodating, she went above and beyond from the minute I walked in until the party was over. We had approximately nine servers and herself for a party of 66, very well staffed. Now I would like to speak about the servers, most of them were young, but you would never no it from the way they carried themselves. They were on top of everything, extremely pleasant and respectful. One thing I look for first and foremost is service, this was A+++. The food was wonderful and very plentiful, the minute a tray was empty they replenished it. My daughter was so happy and loved everything about the place and her shower! I would not hesitate for one second to have another party at this venue. Not only were we pleased, but I also received several text messages and phone calls from our guests to let us know how wonderful the food and service was at the party. Thank you to everyone at Roma View for making my daughters bridal shower so PERFECT!!!!!! read more

I've been going to Roma View for years and it's always a great time. The service is good, the hall is beautiful, the management is easy to work with, and the staff is attentive. There is valet parking, and three rooms to choose from depending on your party size. They do all kinds of events and offer a breakfast, brunch, and dinner. read more

Our company always has our Christmas party here every year. It's always in a nice sized room with chic decor and a live DJ. There is a food buffet and cash bar (unless your party had was paid for). Recently, we've had the party in one of the biggest room we've had yet. It was decorated nicely and had an upbeat vibe. There were about 8 other companies occupying tables and enough room for us all to move around freely. The food from the buffet was really good and the DJ wasn't bad either. However, when we got drinks the lady kept giving us our total, so we paid. Later to find out that our party's drinks were already paid for. If I had went on a drinking spree I'd be upset enough to go back and inquire about my money. However I only had about 3 drinks. Regardless, I was still annoyed to find this out. Sure, I should have been aware of our party's paid expenses but I feel like they should do a better job of keeping track of what guests/tables are paid for. Otherwise that's just a shady way of doing business. read more

I have to give it four stars only because of how incredibly rude one of the caterers was. IT IS A FIVE STAR VENUE! The event planner with whom we started the event was Eric, but he was unavailable come time for our appointment, which happened to be relatively close to the actual date of our event (6-30-12, yesterday). Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly helpful. He was a delight to work with, and he made the entire process worthwhile/as smooth as possible. Let me preface this by saying that it was an absolutely beautiful evening. We definitely got what we paid for, and we were impressed by how efficient the wait-staff was. The food was delicious. I had the steak and mashed potatoes, and I am a steak fanatic - I ABSOLUTELY loved this steak. The decorations were incredible - the dance-lights really added to the mood. People loved it and were dying to stay longer. We had two cakes and were a little bit upset because the wait-staff did not give people the opportunity to have from the second cake (the cake they made for us). That did not deter us from having a good time - they were still a 5-star wait-staff. Kudos to them for doing such an incredible job! The reason I had to dock it a star is because of the incredibly rude service we received last week from one of the caterers (a female). Instead of being calm, she practically bit our heads off as we discussed our party. We were there to pay the gratuity on our event, which was fine, but her apparent disgust with us left us stressed for the entire week leading up to the event. She was rude, spoke in an uninviting tone, and just seemed to not understand customer service at all. Had it not been for her, I would have said Roma View deserves even more than 5 stars. We had to do very little inside the hall to prep for the event. Many venues don't have the level of detail that Roma View does in their already pre-decorated rooms. All we had to do was provide centerpieces; the rest was all taken care of for us! All of our guests raved about the quality of the venue. We had the Rhapsodie room and it was absolutely incredible! We could not be happier with our turnout, the wait-staff, Eric, the maître-d Carlos, the concierge and everybody involved! Also, we had lied on our invitations and put the start-time was an hour earlier than what the actual start-time was, because we knew our guests would all be late (we'd say about 99% were - even the DJ and photographer were late), but the concierge went on to discuss this with an unhappy guest. This was unprofessional, as the conversation happened right in front of the event hosts (us), so I had to approach the guest myself after hearing the complaint. I don't think that stopped him from having a good time. He was a bit upset at first, but I think he must have had a decent time because I saw him socializing with the people at his table. Very grateful for Carlos and Eric, for the exceptional job they did before and during the event!! read more

they have one of the best italian dinners and foods. really pretty rooms and great staff. valet parking too.

Just had my wedding here last night and could not be happier. From the food, to the staff,to the decor. They went above and beyond. Eric was there along the way to answer any question I had. Lori and Leah were amazing showing us the venue and helping with vendors and menu. Carlos the Matr'D was amazing along with the captain. Checked in on us all throughout the night. Sad it's over. Would highly recommend for any upcoming events. read more

Still no word back from anyone here....the valet staff might have been in cahoots with locals after cars were parked....so park your own cars and take valuables out....take your keys...staff were unhelpful....our car was robbed read more

Pretty good place to have a banquet or party. Service was excellent. Food was pretty darn good. The veal was a bit over cooked but beef always is on a buffet. The doorman was supper helpful. Valet parking was a plus. Everything was clean and updated. Had to do a lot of tipping over the course of the evening. Must have gone through 50 singles in 3 hours. read more

Last night I hosted an engagement party for my daughter Sara and her fiancé Todd. It was incredible!!! The service was magnificent! Our maitreD Angela ran the party so smoothly. She was so attentive to me and all my guests and her wait staff was the best. We never had to ask for anything. When our glasses were almost empty we had another drink in front of us. The room was beautiful and spacious. The food was so delicious especially the chicken francese and bake clams. The tortellini Alfredo was the best I ever had. Lia, our banquet manager was so good she recommended the DJ and photo booth vendor and I am so glad I took her advice. They were the best! I had so many people compliment and rave about this party I can't stress that enough. I felt so good about choosing this place . I will definitely have another party there . If you are looking for a place to have any type of party book it here you will be so happy you did. I highly recommend it. Thank you Roma view for best party ever! read more

Thank you for making our Engagement Party an unforgettable event! We cannot thank you guys enough for your help for everything! From planning, to finalizing, setting up to party time, the staff at Roma View did not miss a step. Lori helped up to finalize everything weeks before and even called back with suggestions to help make our party more elegant. Donna and the rest of the staff made sure our guests were attended to. I requested a few changes to the room for the decor as we were setting up and they were there to assist and bring our vision to life. Thank you for making our party perfect! We are so thankful! read more
