    Gnocchi alla vodka
    Sera G.

    Firstly, everyone was surprised by how great the food tasted. The inside gives "bar food" vibes but, they deliveredddd with the quality. I loved the low lighting vibe, there is also a ton of indoor seating! Service was great, our server was really nice.

    The pizza and vibes were amazing :) the bar is always full with fun and outgoing people. This is our neighborhood pizza joint and we come here every Sunday for football! They have a special menu for football season and it always hits!! The calzone was the best we had and the service is always so warm and welcoming! Thank you Romanos for filling our bellies and having such good service

    Chicago style pizza

    The Chicago style pizza was so good!!!! Our server was really sweet but sadly for her had a lot of tables. I will definitely order the Chicago style pizza again.

    Located on Alessandro Blvd & Mission Grove Pkwy N directly across the Galaxy Theater with plenty of parking. We stopped by on Saturday night and were seated immediately. We recently visited Chicago, so we were craving deep dish. My friend recommended this place so we wanted to give it a try. As an appetizer, we had their 'Meatball Marinara' from their Quick Bites section, which tasted amazing. As entree, we had 'The Chicago Pie', a deep dish style pizza pie with spinach, artichokes, and ricotta cheese. The pie was flavorless imo, but that could be because we chose a meatless option. We still enjoyed it, but I can not say it's as good as being in Chicago. The restaurant is clean and organized with an adjacent full bar. While inside, it did remind me of being in a Chicago restaurant. There's plenty of TVs throughout showing a live baseball game during our visit. Service was great. Shout out to our server, 'Emily', who was extremely attentive regardless of how busy it was. Overall, we had a good dinner experience here and will definitely return to try other menu items.

    We are back again but not for the food but for the small concert in the back of the restaurant. This time around we came to see the Led Zeppelin tribute band called Zeppelin Revisited. The entry cost was 20 dollars and it was well worth the time to drive out here. Good vibes and the bar is right there where you can order a drink while enjoying some live music.

    Fettuccine Cappriccioso

    Twice we have gone out of our way to eat at this Romanos. A return visit for our family means the first experience was pretty darn good. So, could they do it again? Here are the dishes that raised our eyebrows, in a good way: Fettuccine Capriccioso pasta, a very interesting, flavorful, thick noodle pasta that included a complex, creamy pink sauce and chunks of good tasting meats. It was a very large serving that held its own even as leftovers. It got passed around the table of 6, and got enthusiastic thumbs ups by the 4 adults. Their crispy Calamari was so good, we ended up getting two orders. Everyone, but especially the two children at our table, were serious about this appetizer. And even though one order was a huge portion compared to other places, the two orders vanished. Delicious!!!! The cup of Marinara that came with it was eye rollingly magnificent. This is a reminder to myself to get dishes featuring their marinara. The Antipasto salad was quite a vision. Not only was it huge and topped with lots of deli meats, the presentation was unique. I loved how they placed filled rolls of meat and tomato attractively around the edge of the salad bowl making them resemble Japanese hand rolls. My only complaint was the creamy Italian dressing. This was its Achilles heel, not very good. I would have much preferred a different dressing, say an herbal Italian oil and vinegar. I recall them saying they did not have an oil and vinegar dressing substitute. On our second visit, we had a very simple Fettucini Alfredo, substituting angel hair pasta for the usual thicker noodles. The Alfredo sauce was super thick, maybe a bit too much so, but still very delicious. The next day, Mr B's solution was to thin out the leftovers with a touch of cream, and it was even better. He ended up making 3 meals out of this one entree. The items we were not as enthusiastic over included the Minestrone soup. Not so great, it was a thin vegetable soup lacking in flavor. Also, the thin crust Margarite pizza, usually a favorite of ours, was underwhelming. I've had better. In hindsight, we were pleased overall, and intend to keep this place in mind when travelling through the area. Lets give it a happy 4.5 star rating.

    Thursday, July 18, 2024: We had our office working lunch here and we're a party of twelve. The place was bigger than it appeared, nothing fancy, felt cavernous, and had the sports bar vibe. We were at a table by the a stage. It appears they have live bands perform here. Sorry, I didn't take a lot of photos due to our discussions. They had reasonably priced lunch specials which ranged from $9.00 to $11.00. I opted for their spaghetti bolognese and found it to be delicious! I know everyone else liked their food. Our server was friendly enough but could've been more attentive. I felt this was a good choice for our working lunch because it was spacious & quiet serving up affordable delicious food. Wouldn't mind returning to try their other lunch specials

    Pretty chill place. Our waitress was friendly. Wait times are the on the higher end but this ain't no Little Caesars. This Deep Dish is currently unmatched in Riverside. Would definitely recommend eating here. Just set your expectations about the timing because they take their time preparing the food & it shows.

    The food and customer service is amazing the decor and the comfortable feeling of amazing sports bar and Restaurant all in one. I met the manager, great personable guy and I will return again. I did not know this amazing places here.

So in an attempt to avoid the blood thirsty delivery services we ordered from DiMatteo's and they have their OWN delivery staff and the pizza was absolutely phenomenal. The crust was absolutely delicious. We asked for it well done it was well done. The pepperoni was delicious, the salad was great... This will be the only pizza place I order from now on. They have deals on Wednesdays and I'm having a terrible time deciding what pizza we're getting tonight. I'M VERY SORRY DE MATEO'S THAT I NEVER TRIED YOU IN THE 22 YEARS. I'VE BEEN OUT IN THIS AREA.

This spot runs on a very specific frequency. It's not a polished corporate chain. It's a dedicated local pizza service. The vibe is "straight-to-business" after you tie up your horse and shake off the dust just let yourself into the swinging doors and meander up to the bar and let their chief ofstaff know you are here to trade currency for your catering order - maybe you grab your own cup, you find a spot, and you listen to the lively commentary while you wait. Because you've got to remember that this pizza fuel everyone, drifters, heros, but most california locals. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West. You know... Riverside County enjoyers xD Verdict: The order took a little very little time to compile (freshness takes rendering time), but the final product was 100% worth the wait. If you want a real Riverside experience with food that slaps; this is the spot. Just buffer your schedule a bit so you can relax and enjoy the local bandwidth.

It's such a humble, warm neighborhood place, but the food? Truly a 10/10 comfort food moment. The pizza was so flavorful -- we ordered half pepperoni and half Hawaiian/cheese and every slice was amazing. The wings and potato wedges were delicious too, and I have to mention their house 1000 island, ranch, and even the ketchup... everything tasted so fresh and good. The atmosphere was honestly the cutest. There were regulars hanging out, people jumping up to sing karaoke, and a little arcade inside that made it feel like the perfect casual game-night spot. It's the kind of place where you can grab pizza to go for a movie night at home, or stay, have a few beers, and just enjoy the vibe. They also have 5 beers for $15, which you really can't beat. Elie took such great care of us and made us feel so welcome. He was incredibly friendly and thoughtful and even surprised me with a complimentary homemade brownie, which was another 10/10. Such a sweet touch. Even the DJ running karaoke was super professional, which made the whole night feel extra fun and lively. It's rare to find a place that feels this genuine and welcoming while also serving food that's this good. I'll definitely be back for the pizza again very soon. Highly recommend stopping by -- even if it's just to grab a pizza to go for a cozy movie night at home.
