Gluten free carbonara and garlic bread
Jessica H.

Everyone we interacted with was so nice. Super attentive staff. Cute decor. My kids got the Alfredo kids meal. Both loved it! My son licked his plate clean and my daughter was sad because we are on a road trip and can't easily come back. I was very impressed with the gluten-free garlic bread! So many gf garlic breads are just toast or pizza... this looked and tasted just like the real thing! The carbonara was very filling. Not a fan of the large raw onions but everything else was flavorful and tasty.

Decent wine selection

Good atmosphere, staff efficient, and food is good but not gourmet. I had a good meal

Food was great. Kids got Alfredo, wife and I got pizza. It is worth the price which isn't bad at today's prices. Clean inside and the service was on point. Definitely give them a try. Their calzones are great as well. I appreciate the water is either filtered or bought because it tastes great. 9.5atars

This pasta was so comforting and flavorful. The sauce was rich but not too heavy, and the noodles were cooked just right. I added some parmesan and it took it to the next level. Cozy place with really warm service.

Fettuccine Alfredo soup

We were traveling through Ontario on our way home to Salem and were hungry. I looked on Yelp and saw the good reviews for this place, so we had to stop. We were greeted and led to a table next to a party of 8 or so people. (There were three of us in my party.). We couldn't hear each other so there wasn't much talking happening for us. The waiter came to take our order and we had to repeat ourselves because it was so loud. Its our fault for not asking to move but we were tired and didn't want to be a hassle to the host. When our drinks arrived one of our glasses had a big crack in it. When we told the waitress she looked at it and carried it in the kitchen where no one seemed at all concerned. It was such a weird reaction. We ordered chicken Parmesan, fettuccine alfredo, and a build your own calzone. I asked for broccoli, capers and roasted garlic. The chicken parm was dried out and had a weird/dried out texture. The alfredo sauce was was runny like soup. The calzone had approximately 2 pieces of broccoli that had been cut up really small. The "roasted" garlic was not roasted and that's not what we asked for. There were capers. The unfortunate part was the cheese. Its hard being a vegetarian and getting everything with so much cheese. It was basically a cheese calzone with a bite of broccoli. We won't be visiting here again.

This is super cute little pizza and pasta place. If I'd have known that they weren't too busy when I was in town I would've opted for dining in instead of takeout. The inside is small and a little old but seems comfortable enough to dine in when not busy. I Placed my order online and it was ready within about 15 minutes. Staff was courteous. The pizza was delicious. We also got the pesto bread which was my favorite! The picture of their menu shown on Yelp is outdated. When looking on their menu online they didn't offer some of the pizzas I saw on Yelp pictures, or maybe their names were changed? Great place!

Such a great pizza find here in our overnight trip through Ontario, Oregon. We had the Zorba and the Olympian and it was such great flavor without too much sauce and a good crust. Had a little help picking out a wine to go with which made the service fantastic. Thanks Romio's for a great tasting dinner!!

Chicken Parmesan
Jacob S.

First of wanted to say the staff was great and the lady serving us was very attentive and consistently checked on us. Romio's is a poor man's Olive Garden. From torn cushion seats to cracked walls that are most definitely not decorative, save yourself the stop and drive the extra 45 minutes to Boise for dinner. My wife got the chicken Parmesan, but the chicken was dry and tasteless and the cheese on the pasta was greasy and overbearing. I got the four cheese baked spaghetti, which was my own mistake because I didn't realize the 4 in the name meant how many pounds of cheese they were going to put on my dish. And all of the pasta sauce was on the bottom of the dish, which meant I had to dig through an inch of melted greasy cheese to even find spaghetti and eventually the sauce. The only part of my meal I enjoyed was the Shirley temple my wife got and the salads that came with our entree's.

Drove from Jackson Hole to Ontario Oregon today. After taking a well deserved rest we really needed a good dinner. Stopped by and was warmly forested and seated by the hostess. Our server Cindi was very friendly and helpful with the menu. I ordered the fettuccine carbonate with a ceasar salad. The salad cane.out very quickly and was very tasty. Just the right amount of dressing too. Not too little or too much. The Carbonara was warm, light, and flavorful and the fettucini noodles had a homemade consistency to them. The bread that came with the entree was crispy, warm, soft, and flavorful. A perfect bread to dip into the sauce. I am really impressed and I can't wait to enjoy the tiramisu I brought home for later. I'm definitely giving this place a stop on my way back.

The ambiance was warm, cozy, and inviting with a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to sit back and enjoy myself. I ordered the lasagna with bread and olive oil, and everything was delicious and full of flavor. I paired my meal with a glass of white wine, which was perfect. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, and it was such a good way to end the evening. Zoe was my bartender, and she made the experience even better. She was welcoming, friendly, attentive, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat down. Great food, good wine, a cozy atmosphere, and wonderful service--I really enjoyed my visit to Italianesque and would definitely come back!

If you live in the Treasure Valley, and enjoy going out to eat, and haven't been to Italianesque,…read morethen you are missing something special. This is more true if you live in Nampa, and this situation applied to my wife and I prior to yesterday. Don't be put off by it's location. Yes, this spot does not seem like a place where you would find a great eating establishment, but based upon our experience, that should be at the bottom of the list of concerns. The vibe of the place represents it's truth. Italianesque feels like a family run restaurant, run by people who enjoy what they do. That's because that is exactly what it is. There is no corporate mood or tone here, but rather it feels like friends wanting to run a neighborhood restaurant with all the good things that go with providing that kind of service to the local community. I'd recommend getting a reservation if you want to dine inside, but we failed to do that last night and the tables were full at 5:00pm on a Thursday. That's a pretty good signal that Italianesque has something good going on. Our experience was five-stars across the board. We ate on the patio which was pleasant in the shade, and the soft breeze felt nice in the informal al fresco environment. The service was excellent. Paula was a delight, and the other servers were all super friendly and helpful too. We enjoyed our specialty cocktails as our food was being prepared, and we enjoyed the appetizer special. The single word I would describe our dinner entrées would be "Wow". I had the spicy Cajun Seafood Linguini, and it was truly delicious. So full of flavor! We ended our meal with a slice of Key Lime Pie which did not disappoint. My opinion is that Italian food should be zesty and bold, cooked with passion and served with a smile. Italianesque delivered. If you enjoy bland Italian cooking, or just an average meal, there are plenty of other places you can go to. We'll be back to Italianesque, because there were many other things on the menu that I really want to try.

This place is a little gem…read more My wife and I came with three other couples to celebrate a couple of birthdays. They do take reservations and I strongly recommend making them, especially for a large party, of which we saw several last night, a Saturday. Located on Orchard St near the intersection with Franklin, the building itself it just average to look at. They do have a cool mural on the south side wall depicting various gangsters: Dillinger, Lanskey, Nelson, Capone, and Seigel. As you enter, on the left there is a small bar with seating near the check in desk. There is also a separate waiting room to the right of the entrance. There are a lot of tables packed fairly close together in the dining room. Our server was Arturo. He was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgable about the food, giving recommendations as to his favorite dishes and explaining in detail how the special of the night was prepared. Really, he was exceptional, especially taking care of a large group. To start, there is what I think was a rosemary bread, along with balsamic vinegar and oil to dip, which was very good. The mushrooms and the fried calimari appetizers weree great. And, all of the entrees were deemed "10/10" when we did our informal polling at the end of our visit. My wife had the scampi and I had the margherita pizza. Other entrees included lasagna, angel hair pasta with meatballs, chicken scallopini, and the "Gabriel". All of the food was delicious. Our group definitely plans to come back and enjoy another dining experience at Luciano's, in our opinion, the best Italian restaurnt in The Valley.

I don't need to add more pictures, there's over 600 to see now…read more I waited 35 years to find an Italian restaurant that compared to Mama Lina's in Little Creek Virginia. An Italian woman who married a sailor and brought to Virginia Italian food that was wonderfully delicious and priced right. Here at Luciano's I flashed back to the best Italian food I've ever had. I had the house salad and spaghetti with meatballs and my wife had a pesto chicken with a white sauce. SO DELICIOUS!! I began to shed a tear...I've found my favorite Italian restaurant finally. As a flight attendant for a major international airline I go everywhere and taste great food. Luciano's did not disappoint. It's a very busy place. The staff were very aware of my wife and I as they raced from table to table. From Olive oil and vinaigrette to the desert menu we loved our time there. Be ready to wait. It's an experience as much as a meal.

Especially if I didn't enjoy it the first time. My family wanted Italian, I threw out a handful of joints. Of course I suggested il Sugo and I'm so disappointed that I did. My MIL made a reservation for 10. The last time I was in, we were actually comfortably seated with the 10 of us. We weren't crowded. It was lovely. This time, we were so congested. Our table was up against another two groups behind us. It was so hard to get in and out of. They had the sliding doors open so it was hot, crowded and congested. Not a pleasant way to dine. Our server got our orders started. The last time we were here, my husband got the seafood pasta and it was spicy. The shrimp pasta listed heat but not the seafood. After our server clarifying the difference few the two marinara sauces, they truly screwed up on my husband's plate the last time we were here. So today, my husband ordered the chicken parm with Alfredo sauce in his pasta. Making sure it was the right marinara. I got the meatballs again and my daughter ordered the filet mignon pasta. While we were waiting for our food, the busser, assistant, expo (whomever she was) cleared out our small plates. We didn't order any appetizers but the server said bread was coming. May I ask why you would clear out the small plates when bread is coming? We literally had bread crumbs all over the table cause there was nothing catching them. Texas Roadhouse, Longhorn Steakhouse, Luciano's, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Corso, Bittercreek, Stardust all have little plates out for their guests..... it's humorous you pull them. My meatballs were the same as last time, good. My husband's noodles were overly drenched with sauce. My daughter barely got any pasta in her 30 dollar plate. You can't label a pasta dish a pasta dish if there's no pasta in it. Especially if it's damn near 30 dollars. My youngest got the kids chicken Alfredo for her meal. Again, all chicken and no pasta. Kids would rather have the pasta vs the chicken. 15 bucks for a kid's meal with no pasta. I'm rather embarrassed that I even suggested this place. Thank goodness my family is more easy going than I am but we did share the same disappointments. Serve pasta in your pasta dishes. Your bigger bowls to deceive your customers that they are getting a lot is a lie. If you're going to charge 30 bucks for pasta, make sure your customers get their value. Leave your small plates for your guests. We don't want bread crumbs all over our laps and table. Make sure your chefs know the difference between your two marinara sauces. God forbid another guest has to suffer for your screw up.

The point to rambling about our travels is that we have a benchmark to compare French restaurants to and recently stumbled upon Bacquet's in an Internet search. I only wish we had found it eight years ago when it opened!

Seems it goes straight to the top. My review here isn't for the business. It's to save anyone from a similar very negative experience for a restaurant clearly not interested in such an insane violation of trust.
