Via Roma was perfect for my hubby's birthday celebration. It was almost after 4 years that we visited this restaurant again and we loved it. Food was delicious. We ordered bruschetta for appetizer, kids portion of chicken Parmesan, penne with chicken and mixed seafood pasta. Everything came out perfectly. I got my Seafood pasta in garlic sauce, it was delicious and seafood was fresh and tender. I loved how calamari was in my pasta - not overly chewy at all. Chicken in both my husbands and kids meal was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. Our server was wonderful and surprised us with a cake to celebrate the birthday. Such a sweet gesture.
This place is great! It is a small restaurant, but for me that means it is more intimate. The service is always top notch and the people are friendly! The food, as at any Conte restaurant, is incredible! I went and got their gnocchi which was light and fluffy with a vodka sauce and TONS of fresh mozzerrella cheese. Their tiramisu is also probably the best in the city! You must try it. Parking can be a challenge, my recommendation is just to park in the parking deck and walk. It's about 5 minutes, but the parking deck is free too.
The most tender steak I've had in awhile. Let me go back to the beginning. We had such a fantastic waitress (Amy). She was super helpful and attentive but not hovering. Support staff was great too. Our table got crumbed! You know the little crumb tool to clean up your mess. I hardly ever see that in Charlotte. What a very nice touch. Ok back to the food. Great pasta, great sauces, great veg, great apps, bread, desserts, and vino. Everything was great. What else is there to say? Atmosphere was dark but not too dark. Relaxing. The only negative thing I can say is that the tomatoes in the bruschetta should have been room temp not cold. I wonder if that is a safety rule. Anyway, we can't to go back!
Via Roma is not for me. It's not worth my money and time. I was excited to try the Mare; the presentation appeared well. But, alas, it was too salty, and the squid rings and shrimp were overcooked and tasted rubbery. My husband's pollo parmigiana was soggy, and the cheese was partially melted. The inside of the restaurant's acoustics is poor, making the sound of table conversations amplified and loud. As for service, it was lacking. It took over 10 min for someone to take our order, and as we ate, no one even came at all to check and refill our drinks. As I observed, the staff were focused and distracted by the larger parties. Overall, it was not a positive experience for me.
We decided to come here on a whim for an improptu date night and the food was good. They gave us bread and beans, but I wasn't a fan of the bread on its own. With the beans it was great, but without, the bread had no flavor. We started with caprese and it was really good. The mozzarella was so fresh however, it came with arugula instead of basil, which was good, but I prefer caprese with basil. My entree was gigli. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The flavors went together but it lacked and little bit of... punch in the flavor department. Nonetheless, the portion of pasta to shrimp and vegetables was really good. I feel like a lot of times when you order a pasta dish it's like 90% pasta with only 10% of any of the extras, and this was not the case here. My hubby had pollo alla parmigiana with a side of pasta and it tasted amazing! If I came back here I'd probably switch my order to this because it was bursting with flavor. The first thing they asked us when we walked in was if we had a reservation, which, we didn't. We came early enough that there was space at the bar and the high tops that were near and that's where they directed us to. I was actually happy about that because this is a nice restaurant with table clothes and a fancy vibe, and we were not totally dressed for that. Either way, overall, dinner was good.
We had quite the sampling of food - and all was absolutely wonderful! We started with a Burrata and Bruschetta at our table for four. Each of us enjoyed our be very filling pasta entrees following - especially my choice of a braised beef speciality pasta that evening. We didn't have a reservation and was sat at a table oddly positioned near a kiosk and in eye shot of the bathroom. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived for dinner just before 6 but did fill up with larger parties and reservations throughout our time there. I'd recommend to plan ahead if you're going for a special occasion so that you don't get sat in the back 4.
Amazing service that's hard to come by in this area. The food was so flavorful! The Mare was full of delicious seafood. Our 13 year old said the meatballs were the best she's ever had. Lasagna, chicken Parmesan and the tagliatelle were all hits with the family. And I can't stop thinking about the tiramisu! I can't wait to go back (after we eat all the leftovers we brought home)!
My favourite place! I can't count the how many times I've been here. Food every time is delicious! Definitely recommend this restaurant!
I am staying at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn and decided to try this restaurant based on reviews and pictures. I was very disappointed. I ordered a Caesar salad and veal marsala. The salad was super spicey and had too much pepper. This is very unusual. The Veal Marsala had very little taste. This was the worst marsala sauce that i ever had. It was very watery and had no taste. The service was good but they put me at the only 2 person table and it rocked.
Full house on a Wednesday night! We were welcomed by friendly server but I would only give 4 out of 5 for the service - they were somehow rushing us (maybe want to be ready for the next round of guests?) which made us feel a little uncomfortable. Gilgi, the shrimp pasta, was pretty good. Soft crab, as daily catch, was carefully seasoned and worth trying. The price is a little bit on the higher end though.

Fresh seafood? GO HERE. Second time I have eaten here in two weeks. Phenomenal both times We had: Beans and bread they bring. 100/10. Eat it all and ask for more. Nuff said. Mussels. 15/10 had them both times and they were great. I love bonefish mussels so much and it's hard to beat them, but their broth can be heavy and rich which can overpower the mussels. Via Roma does them right. Perfect blend of white wine, lemon and garlic. They are perfectly tender and not chewy. Branzino. 1000/10. If i could eat this everyday, i would. Two delicate yet hearty sea bass filets atop perfectly crispy julienne vegetables. This is one of my favorite dishes in all of charlotte to eat. It's clean, healthy, lightly seasoned yet hearty, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Two big fish filets on a large portion of veggies. I couldn't think of a way to make this better if i tried. And i can't order anything else here because i love it and feel great after eating it. Just so happy to have a healthy, hearty, filling and absolutely delicious option when dining fine! My friend got the jumbo shrimp and scallop risotto. He is one of the pickiest people I've ever met. I didn't try it myself but he gave it rave reviews and he ate every bite so i can only imagine it was also perfect. Bread pudding 3/10 ehhh. Heavy and dense, not like moms. I wouldn't get it again but it wasn't bad. Crème brûlée 100/10 if you like crème brûlée this is the one for you. Perfect crust. Berries and crème. read more
Fantastic service and food quality were the two highlights for me that has locked in my plans to return. Quiet relaxed ambiance and extremely speedy with the food and drinks coming out. Not pictured is an amazing tiramisu. Chicken parm cooked really well and the sauce on the halibut was delicious - loved this spot! read more
First time for Queens Fest. I feel most restaurants play it safe and the select menu is usually 'boring' but via Roma was everything but. The portion size were generous, selection featured your more costly dishing and it taste great. The service was top notch as well. We had the pasta capellini 5/5 loaded with shrimp crab and lobster and the scallop risotto 5/5 with large scallops and creamy risotto. For starters we had the seafood salad 4/5 again loaded with fresh seafood and the sausage 5/5 was very tasty. For dessert the limoncello and chocolate cake was great. Get here asap for queens week for outstanding value ! Def recommend read more

Okay... This has to be a well hidden secret... when I say the pasta was 'the best I've had... I MEAN it! David was the chef this evening and he knocked it out the box! ( pardon the slang ) - The risotto, soooo creamy and delicious... my daughter had the Gigli, don't sleep on the Gigli, it was incredible---large shrimp cooked to perfection! The ambiance...fitting for an establishment that understands the true definition of a 'quality' meal and all around dinner experience. ---5 Stars!!!! Amy was our waitress and she knows the menu forward and backward. She really exceeded our expectations! read more

I came here during restaurant week and had a great time. Service was friendly but a little slow, which is fine for the atmosphere. I loved the cocktail menu and all the food is very flavorful. Definitely smaller portions so not sure if I would ever take my husband here lest he complain about still being hungry. Definitely worth a trip, especially for a girls night! read more
