A Roma Italian Kitchen

What a great find in a strip shopping area across from Costco. The Owner served us and his service was excellent. The Manicotti I ordered was cheesy and yummy with a great red sauce. There is a bit of Christmas garland decor, but otherwise it's tasteful decor. Very clean restrooms. Prices for wine and food are great.

Been back a few times and always on point. Lasagna is my favorite so far but the spaghetti with meatballs and sausage was also fantastic and the penne with the spicy sauce was also hittin. The price is very respectable too. Just all around great place. 1st review Went for lunch. Very clean. Had a elegant nightclub vibe. Italian sausage calzone was really good.

We ordered red snapper and veal Parmesan. They both were delicious especially red snapper!!! Best fish dish I’ve had around here. Definitely coming back here!

Awesome Italian spot for the family, date night, or intimate solo dinner with indoor/outdoor seating. The service was outstanding and the food/cocktails were top-notch!!! I wish I could give 6 stars—that's how spectacular the cuisine tasted. We ordered GF shrimp alfredo, regular chicken/shrimp alfredo & my favorite lobster ravioli.🤤 If you ever have a chance to swing by, you won't be disappointed. Great spot and truly a gem! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stopped in for lunch today. Our first time here, and it was delicious! Alyssa, our server was great, the atmosphere is very nice and the food was outstanding! The stromboli is the best I have ever had, and my wife loved the Philly steak sandwich. We will be back!

Great place for a nice lunch or dinner or business meeting. Food is pretty amazing so we've been back twice already. Their pizza is good as are their pastas BUT the cherry on top for me was the garlic bread!! Its sooo good, its addictive.

This place is phenomenal. Our server today was alyssa and her service was amazing. I really recommend this place it has a nice cozy atmosphere and you can definitely tell everything is homemade. Everything was perfect and fresh from my main entree to the salad.

Upon entrance, the restaurant has a certain ambience that just seems quaint and intimate. As beautiful as the restaurant looks, the food is even better. From the fresh baked bread to the shrimp and lobster rigatoni and of course the linguine and clam sauce or classic. You can’t go wrong with one of the Don Julio margaritas either they offered in several different flavors. Be sure also to try a nice glass of Franciscan Cabernet that they have which goes great with The spicy red sauce that they offer. We came with a group of six and everything and everybody were so amazed with the sauces and the food itself. Stop in and ask for Mark or Alyssa and they’ll get you taken care of.

I just had my delivery order from this restaurant and I don’t have enough worlds to describe how happy I was with the food. I’ve tried several Italian places in McKinney and all of them were horrible. So I decided to give a try to this place and omg I’m so impressed. I Ordered Greek salad, fettuccine carbonara, chicken Alfredo, chicken Marsala, and chicken Murphy. All of the items arrived piping hot and wrapped very carefully with no spills. As pleasant surprise, we also got a lot of garlic knots which were amazing and we didn’t expect them . The salad was fresh and crisp. The lettuce was fresh chopped and firm( now days you rarely get fresh lettuce that isn’t pre chopped out of the bag for your salad). All of the veggies looked fresh and tasted great! The pastas were amazing!! I’m definitely a returning customer from now on .

Omg, best place to stack up on your carbs- The atmosphere is amazing. Not only they go above and beyond- but the bartender -Agon will make the best drinks with a show! Please ask for Alyssa-gorgeous smile and attentive She has the best recommendations towards your taste bud

Stopped here for lunch with a friend on a Saturday afternoon and was so pleasantly surprised. The inside is beautiful! I loved the teal velvety chairs and benches and the twinkling ceiling (yup, look up)! The staff was super friendly. We ordered Bruschetta as an appetizer: it's the best I've ever had. They use a basil pesto, and the taste is phenomenal. We both wanted something we wouldn't make at home, so our entrees were Eggplant Rollatini and the Chicken Florentine. Both were delicious. We both had plenty of leftovers to take home.

We walked in, not knowing what to expect. The ambient of the place gave very romantic vibes, excellent for a date. The food tasted excellent, and the presentation was amazing, six stars for that if I could. Our server was super nice and professional. The lighting in throughout the restaurant was inviting and gave the impression that they were trying to achieve, high class. Would definitely recommend for both casual dining and date night.

We had a party of 7 for a post-graduation dinner at A Roma Italian Kitchen in McKinney, and it was phenomenal! Every single dish we ordered was delicious. The baked ziti and lasagna were absolute standouts - rich, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Our server Alyssa was amazing. She was super attentive, kind, and made us feel so taken care of throughout the evening. The service truly elevated the experience. Do not skip the garlic bread rolls (you’ll dream about them later), and the strawberry cheesecake is the perfect sweet ending. Pricing was very reasonable for the portions and quality. Highly recommend for families, celebrations, or just when you’re craving amazing Italian food done right. We’ll definitely be back!

I recently ordered a Margarita Pizza from here yesterday and I had to leave a review. It completely exceeded my expectations! It tasted fresh and full of flavor. I’ve had this same pizza at other places and it was either bland or wet or just meh. This one is actually really good and now my favorite. Good job!

My wife and I have been hunting for a solid go-to Italian spot around McKinney for years, and we finally found it. Service was super friendly, attentive, and really accommodating, 10/10. The food matched it perfectly. The garlic bread and stuffed mushrooms are absolute musts. For the main, anything with their pink sauce is the way to go. This place is the one we’ve been waiting for. Five stars, hands down.

This place is truly a hidden gem in McKinney! Pasta is so delicious, large portions, and the garlic bread is some of the best I've ever tasted, even in Italy! The staff is very friendly and the place has a nice, welcoming vibe to it. I've been here multiple times, and every year for family birthdays, and will always be back.

I can’t imagine a single person leaving a 1-star review after ordering from here. The prices are incredibly fair—if not more than fair. (I honestly don’t understand why anyone would say the menu is a rip-off.) My husband is from New England, and we couldn’t be happier to finally find great Italian food and pizza. It felt just like visiting back home.

We had an INCREDIBLE dining experience last evening at this Italian restaurant. Cece was our server and I felt like we were family! She was attentive, kind and made our visit feel like home by going above and beyond. We are Italian by ethnicity and the red sauce was phenomenal with just a hint of fresh basil! The kids loved every app from the knots with sauce to the mozzarella sticks and the portions were huge! We had the eggplant to the calzone and back to pizza and every dish was incredible! The best was you could tell the kitchen cooked with much love! 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ joint!

Wasn't too crowded for a Saturday afternoon, friendly service. We ordered peach long island ice tea( i am not sure why it is called that coz it isn't like an LIT) and the other one was good! We ordered lobster ravioli (tasted good, portion size is big) and tour of Italy (portions of Alfredo, chicken parmigiana and cheese ravioli) ravioli was perfect, Alfredo was cheese with crushed pepper.. good but I didn't like the parmigiana as the marinara sauce was okay but the breaded chicken was chewy) and fries. Previous visit we tried the pepperoni pizza(not good), spicy chicken and salmon (huge portion and amazing flavours). Overall I think it's a bit pricey however the cocktails are amazing, friendly service and good food. Recommended!

We ordered pizza and it was fair. At first glance, it looked great. The crust was great and the dough was fresh. The problem is, it was incredibly salty to a point we couldn't finish the pizza. The service was lacking. The server simply didn't come to the table unless we motioned for them to come over. The atmosphere was outstanding and the restaurant had the vibe that makes me want to try again. I hope our next visit will give me reason to adjust this review. We had super high hopes the moment we walked in. Let's see what our next visit turns out.

We ordered a cheese NY style pizza, it was good, but I’ve had better. I ordered a Greek salad, the dressing was good but it was a bit pricey for the amount. We went mid afternoon, not crowded and it was a relaxing atmosphere.

Nice, cozy Italian bistro/restaurant. Friendly, prompt service. Easy to understand and order. Food was tasty. Bread yummy too! Rasberry Cheese cake was nice complement. 😋

Pros: cutely decorated place indoor and outdoor seating options reasonably priced food Neutral: The server was friendly, but definitely attempted to sell (cocktails, appetizers, dessert). Cons: The taste of the food did not meet my expectations. Having been to New York many times, the pizza at A Roma did not measure up.

Kind of a mix review for this place. I did like the food but the thing is I don't know if this place knows exactly what it is. You walked in it seemed like this place is more like a bar or speakeasy than it is a Italian restaurant. From the seats, to the lights, and the color and the bar was really beautiful. When you look at the menu for the drinks it's pretty extensive and they do have a lot of things. This is not necessarily a bad thing but it kind of does follow through to their food. Their food wasn't bad but it just seems a little less put together than the drinks. My wife had the lasagna and she wasn't the biggest fan of it while I had the calzone. I asked for pepperoni and I was given about 2 lb worth of pepperoni. It just made the calzone almost unedible. I scooped out most of the pepperoni. Maybe don't charge 2 dollars for pepperoni and add 3/4 less. My wife's lasagna was pretty dry. It was far better than something like the garden but for the pricey pay you would expect it to be a little bit nicer and will put together. The drinks were good. Our server was awesome she helped us out. We were very very happy oh and before I forget the rolls were delicious!! I don't know if we'll be back.
