This was my second time ordering from the new Roman Gourmet Pizza location in Warren, and they have…read morequickly become a local favorite. My experience has been based on takeout, and I've been impressed every time.
I placed my order over the phone with Kelly, who was absolutely delightful. I ordered the Chicken Francese and a large sausage, mushroom, and green pepper pizza. It's easy to see why they are known for their pies. The pizza was cooked perfectly with no "flop" and a generous amount of fresh toppings. It's worth noting that their menu is incredibly versatile, offering an impressive variety of crusts and styles, including Deep Dish, Whole Wheat, Gourmet, Artisan Flatbread, Stuffed, Sicilian ,Gluten-free, and Vegan options.
The Chicken Francese was a pleasant surprise. I was thrilled to find two large, tender chicken cutlets served directly over the pasta, allowing the pasta to soak up all of that wonderful, zesty lemon-butter sauce. It was a delicious, generous portion that came with fresh Italian bread. I also tried the garlic knots, which had excellent flavor.
Beyond the food, what makes Roman Gourmet special is the atmosphere and the family history. The walls are adorned with photos telling the proud story of the late matriarch, Anthony Loffredo and wife Giovanna Baratta Loffredo, and the business in Warren is now run by her son, Michael. When my friend went to pick up the order, Michael couldn't have been nicer; he took the time to share the history of his restaurant and point out the family photos. It's rare to feel so welcomed by an owner.
The restaurant is also very accessible, with plenty of free parking, designated handicapped spaces, and a ground-level entrance with no stairs. If you prefer to dine in, the space is very inviting.
Beyond their standard menu of appetizers, soups,subs hot and cold, salads,calzones,stromboli, focaccia sandwiches, volcanoes and wraps along with catering, They have a fun approach to specials, they celebrate various "National Food Days" like National French Fry Day or National Mac & Cheese Day. Check out their social media or website for their schedule!
I am so happy to have Roman Gourmet here in Warren. If you're looking for high-quality Italian comfort food served with a smile, this is the place to go.
