    Meatball  Eggplant Caponta
    Taryn C.

    Great service and great food! Rarely do we find a restaurant where our family finds MULTIPLE options on the menu to choose from, but we definitely had our hands full choosing from such a great range of options. One of the things we were most impressed with is the amount of specials being offered. And the entrees were just the beginning. Word for the wise leave room for dessert because the tiramisu is AMAZING. They have a long wine list and they celebrate birthdays! Only point is like to make is our family of 6 felt a little squished at our table, but not so cramped that I would take off a star. Thank you so much for a great meal and night!

    Beet salad
    Allison L.

    Three of us dined here for my bday in July. The highlight for me was the tomatoes w/bread (complementary) and Beets w/goat cheese. It all went down from there. I got linguini w/white clam sauce but it was so salty I could barely eat it. I didn't feel like returning it since the starters filled me up so I didn't say anything until after the bill was paid. When I told the server she I apologized and offered to bring me something else to take home. I chose the crab cake over pasta w/vodka sauce. I ate that for dinner the next night. It lacked flavor completely. The big fried crab cake ball was lump crabmeat and a ton of flavorless filler. I order CC's all the time so I know my stuff. The vodka sauce was also bland. Complete contrast to my other meal. But THE WORST PART was that, although we each had our own dishes and didn't really share, 30 hours after dining there and each eating leftovers the next night for dinner, we all got sick (both ends) in the middle of the night. Doing some research it was likely Norovirus bc sickness symptoms typically appear 24 to 48 hours after exposure. We don't live together and we were only together for my bday dinner that night so we definitely caught it at the restaurant somehow. I called the restaurant to let them know the entire experience and they said no one else had called to say they got sick... OK that doesn't really mean anything bc a lot of people wouldn't suspect it was from a restaurant they ate at two nights prior unless you only ate leftovers like we all did. I'm sure this was an unusual experience as far as getting sick as concerned, but the fact that I didn't like either meal makes me not want to go back anyway. They sent me a $50 giftcard to apologize so I may go back and get the excellent beet salad and some drinks at the bar... or just gift it to someone else.

    Lobster Ravioli
    Nick M.

    Trattoria Romana is a Boca Raton staple! Every dish we have ever ordered from here has been delicious. Tonight, we ordered the rigatoni Bolognese, lobster ravioli, steak and fries, eggplant with rigatoni, & the strawberry shortcake for dessert. The lobster ravioli was a special, and the rigatoni Bolognese wasn't on the menu; however, I highly suggest ordering both. The meat sauce was one of the best I've ever had. Also, the strawberry shortcake was so big you can definitely share it. I recommend making reservations as they are always packed. You can also get a car wash while dining, which I think is so cool.

    Came here with co-workers for dinner on a Tuesday evening... dinner time was 8PM and this place was PACKED! Crazy how popular this place is, but after looking at the menu and tasting the food, I could see why... they're a pretty darn good Italian joint! Their menu is quite complete with all the Italian popular items... then, the server advised us of the specials, which was a really long list and that was even better! They even had fresh hog fish here!! All food was made with fresh ingredients and tasted great! Their meatball appetizer is huge, definitely splitable between 4 people and it was excellent! The meat was flavorful and tender and the sauce was great! The hog fish was incredible! Their chicken parm is huge and tender too! And save room for dessert because the ricotta cheesecake was excellent, but what was incredible was their strawberry shortcake! Highly recommend coming here!

    We were in this past weekend for my gals birthday dinner, and wow did trattoria Romana not disappoint. We had reservations on a Thursday rainy night. I had added a note that we would like bar seating. when we arrived the bar area was full but they had already put down a couple placemats and held an area for us. The helpful and kind bartender/server got us a couple great glasses of wine and some bruschetta to start. Huge chunks of a very fresh tomato were memorable. I followed up with some pasta Faggioli. That was excellent. He read through the specials and we locked in on a couple of them. I got the Stuffed shrimp, and she got the gnocchi. Both came out pretty quick, and both were crazy good. I don't think we could have gone wrong with their menu but were definitely winning with our picks. We finished with a very classy piece of cheesecake. It was the more fluffy kind(prefer a dense cheesecake), but good none the less. Its a pricey place, but they back it up. A great case of you get what you pay for, a quality experience.

    When we were planning our trip to Florida, my buddy told me Trattoria Romana was his favorite restaurant and made a reservation a week in advance--and now I see why. The atmosphere is really cool and inviting, and our waiter (wish I could remember his name!) was fantastic--funny, engaging, and provided top-notch service the entire evening. I ordered the lamb chops, and they were absolutely incredible--so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Hands down, this place is amazing. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Florida!

I ordered the Tomato Cream Gnocchi and my boyfriend had the Mediterranean Combo. No exaggeration but this was the best gnocchi I've ever had. The dish changed my view on gnocchi and I'm now a converted fan. The texture was pillow soft with a bit of spring. The magic of this dish is how simple yet delicious it is. I loved a simple dish done well. The Mediterranean combo was a special of the night and it came with prawns, branzino, fried anchovies, and a salad. The combo was also just as goods. The seasoning was yet again, simple but delicious. The prawns were succulent, fish was high quality, and the fried anchovies surprised me. I loved all the proteins. I also tried the squid ink pasta and the seafood linguini. Both were good but the squid ink pasta was unique. I can't put my finger on the flavor but I liked it. Service was incredible and the chef was kind. He came out to talk to us and explained some of the dishes. The restaurant is homey and cozy. I felt like I was in Sicily. Overall, I highly recommend Savia. I can't wait to come back and try more.

My half-Sicilian mother in law said the arancini are the best arancini she's ever had, and she goes back to Italy (mainland, albeit not Sicily) semi-frequently. But the experience itself, even with slow service; was amazing. It's intimate, they don't rush you, and you can tell they love their regulars. If you want something a little less popular but has truly excellent food, please try Savia, you won't be disappointed. Every item is good.

We started with drinks (Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc for me, Grey Goose martini for my husband). Service was a bit slow at first--drinks and bread took a while--but honestly, we didn't mind much since we were just enjoying being together. For food, we had the Caesar salad with anchovies and croutons on the side (really good), Chicken Peter, lobster ravioli (delicious), and penne alla vodka. Everything was flavorful, and the portions were just right for sharing. For dessert, they asked what I wanted and my family ordered cheesecake. It came out with a big sparkler and they sang Happy Birthday, which I absolutely loved--such a fun and festive moment! The only small downside was that the dessert isn't complimentary, which felt a little unusual for a birthday celebration, but it didn't take away from the experience. Overall, it's definitely on the pricier side, but perfect for special occasions. I'd happily come back again to celebrate! And don't forget they have complimentary valet parking, so all you need is a tip!
