Roma Italian Restaurant

Best Italian food in the area. Food is consistently great as well as the service. Food is great dine in or pick up!

We got the loaded pizza. Excellent as usual. The service was good and pizza when promised. Best pizza in this corner of the world!

Amazing Food! We had a boat of Alfredo with our bread knots and that sealed the deal for us! We had 11 in our party and service was fast and all correct! We had Chicken Alfredo and Seafood Alfredo! 10/10

Amazing dining experience! All the food was wonderful and service was outstanding. ☆☆☆☆☆

Came in today and loved the environment. Cozy place and very nice inside . The three ladies Laura , Destinee and Sy were amazing girls. They were always smiling and laughing respectfully. Were getting along with customers and greeted and helped everyone. Very grateful for this place 😊

I love this place. The food is amazing, and the waitresses are attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. I try to have something different every time. Doesn't hurt that the waitresses are cute, too! Never had a bad time or issue with my food here. Also, their pizzas are very good as well and can be picked up.

We came here for a date night, and loved the ambiance! But most importantly, the food was divine! Best Italian food we've ever had. We ordered the chef's special and the shrimp Florentine. So good that we ordered double to take home to our kids. Also great service! The young ladies make sure you're taken care of but aren't overbearing. Also it is a BYOB place. We brought our own wine and they supplied the wine glasses. It was a great experience all the way around. 10 stars if I could give them! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had a great family outing. The food was fantastic and the service was great. Very attentive and pleasant.

Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. No need to disclose how many rolls I had let’s just say they were amazing.

I was a first timer here . It won't be my last! Lasagna was on point and the service was awesome. The only thing I would suggest is, if you're going to give out rolls and butter for appetizer you should warm them.

First time coming here and definitely won’t be the last. Food was amazing and filling!!!

My husband and I just ate here and it was absolutely AMAZING! Everything about this place was fantastic. The food was out of this world. Absolutely love the staff! We had a wonderful waitress that was just the sweetest and so friendly! We will definitely be going back for our next date night!

Chicken Parmesan. Great fish, plenty to eat. The premeal rolls are fantastic.

Highly recommend this restaurant. The food is really good. Pretty surprising for a little restaurant out in the middle of nowhere. Service was amazing. I love going into a small mom and pop restaurant and having service that really cares about your experience. Our server was new, but she was eager to make sure we had everything we needed and she had back-up right at her elbow to answer any questions that she couldn't. I ordered a veggie plate and added grilled chicken and alfredo sauce. Wow, that alfredo sauce made the vegetables and chicken come alive. Tea was good, and I am picky. Rolls were good, could maybe use a little garlic seasoning shaker on the table to sprinkle over them for those who like a little more flavor. Real butter for rolls. The Italian sausage here is the best I've ever ordered in a restaurant. We went back during our stay in the area and I ordered the same veggie plate, but added sausage this time. It was even better than the chicken. So good! The alfredo sauce and sausage paired perfectly. My husband ordered a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom plate in a red sauce the first night and it was delicious too. We will be back when we are in the area!

It was our first time trying this little restaurant during our short trip at lake tawakoni. The service and food was amazing. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, chefs special and chicken pesto with a pizza to go home with. The food was so tasty and fresh. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to try some Italian near the lake!

The food and service were great. I knocked my water over with the menu and everyone laughed, including our waitress, Laura. She was great. It had been a long day for us, and she made our dining experience pleasant. Definitely will be back to this place when I am in town!

This family owned spot is amazing! The pasta dishes had loads of meat which was all delicious. These were a bit different than usual American Italian and awesome. Bread was lovely 🥰 My son had the best buffalo chicken pizza ever! The staff was very engaging and obviously the locals were familiar and fun. I guess it’s a dry county so bring your own wine! Have the dessert!

Roma is a great little Italian restaurant, closest thing to fine dining till you get near Dallas. The only caveat is that they don’t serve alcohol, but they do allow you to bring your own. They have an amazing ambience, polite staff, and amazing, authentic Italian food.

We stopped by on a busy Saturday night, and even though they were extremely busy, Aurora took good care of us. We totally loved the atmosphere, and the people were friendly. Food was excellent, service was great. We definitely will be coming back! 🍽🍝🥂🍷

Food was excellent. Wait staff could use some work but they're new and still getting it together. Edit* Went back again and the wait staff had really gotten it together and did a great job.

Less than 3 1/2 miles away from Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni near Point, Texas is a great little family owned Italian Restaurant. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food is exceptional - the complimentary handmade dinner rolls and handmade pizza crust with toppings is scrumptious. 😋 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I asked for half Chicken Alfredo with added mushrooms and half Supreme with added pineapple chunks to the whole pizza. 🍕

We tried this place out the other day. The place was very clean and pleasant. The food was a little pricey however you could definitely tell the quality of the ingredients they're using is top-notch. The food was delicious and brought out in a timely manner I'm looking forward to going back again!

Great place for gathering for lunch after Church. The food is first class and fresh. Dinner rolls are big and fluffy. They are really big and hot. I'm just afraid the lines are gonna get longer after the Secret gets out how really good the plates and specialty plates are. The reason I gave them a 4 for service is the secret is out how good the food is. When your packed to gills with customers...but they held their heads above water and didn't give up. Great job girls.

A surprise in the middle of nowhere, Roma serves fantastic Italian-style food. Staff is great, but the food is better. It's BYO, so if you want wine with your meal, ya gotta bring it yourself. We'll DEFINITELY come back whenever we're in town.

Had the supreme pizza. It was loooaded and delicious. Highly recommend Roma’s. My friends had Piccata. Nice portions and said it was really good.

The service is amazing, the food is so delicious, the atmosphere inside is so welcoming, you will not be disappointed! Restaurants like them are what truly makes our little Rains County home to me. My mouth started watering just writing this review. Go get you sum!

We had a large group and they took great care of us. The food was delicious and such a treat. Thank you for your kindness.

I absolutely love this place. We eat at or order food from Roma once a week, and it never disappoints. Their pizza is fantastic, and so is their very extensive menu of other items. We’ve had several entrees that we love and keep finding new things that are equally good. My husband and I went to Rome this summer, and this food honestly reminds me of some of the meals we had there. I’m amazed we can get this quality of Italian food in East Tawakoni! Highly recommend.

Service is fast and delightful. I love the small family feeling I get. Will definitely make this a new stop from now on!

It was really good. The rolls with the marinara are so good. The Stromboli crust was thin and crispy. The only negatives were they don’t make but one of their appetizers from scratch and there’s no fried ravioli. The spinach ravioli tasted weird. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it. But we would definitely come back here and try some other things and it’s so convenient to the campground.

Very good food, loved the Chicken Parm. Pizza Alfredo was good too. Helpful staff.

Flavor was great, but considering the price I felt the portion size was way too small. We were also sat right underneath a vent that blew cold air straight onto our food, had to make sure to eat fast so it wouldn’t get cold. I understand they just opened and there’s room for improvement, but please consider the portion sizes, I’d understand if it were a fancy place and you’d pay for experience and culinary art, but this looks more like a humble mom and pops restaurant, please make bigger portions according to price. I’ve been to several successful Italian restaurants with better prices and better portion sizes. Id happily return if y’all improve in that aspect.

Food was good. Service a little slow at 1st but then there were several tables so....forgiven. left a 20% tip plus my grandson also tipped. She was cute to him. Will go again😀

Our first time as travelers stopping briefly in the area to visit relatives (who’ve dined here before). Seated promptly during busy dinner hour on a Thursday evening. Place is clean. Massive easy to read menu. Servers were friendly and attentive. There was a slight communication snafu between servers written order & kitchen staff execution — pizza size & ingredients were incorrect — but quickly corrected. Our other pasta dishes were amazing and robust portions.

Always drive by on the way from Dallas to Quitman to visit family. Decided to stop on the way back home for lunch. They were getting busy from the Church crowd. Only 2 waitresses for Sunday lunch service? It looks bigger on the outside, but small inside. Ordered my usual at any new Italian restaurant I go, Chicken Marsala! It was ok, the chicken was seasoned good! A lot of mushrooms and the Marsala sauce tasted good! Service was a little slow, had to ask for a refill for my drink. Will probably stop by again to give it a try again. Bread was the best!!

We did a to go order, Chicken Aristocrat which did not contain any eggplant as listed. We also ordered a pasta sampler and got regular baked ziti which was burned on the bottom. Food was decent but would prefer to get what we ordered.

The reviews were really good and since I haven't eaten here before it seemed like a good option. As we perused the menu for the first time we asked the young waitress did they have horseradish to go with the cocktail sauce if we ordered the calamari appetizer and she said she didn't know what horseradish was. it turns out they didn't have horseradish which is not a big deal so we didn't get the calamari. The other menu items that we ordered were the appetizer of spinach dip which turned out to not really be spinach dip it was more chopped chicken with some spinach and alfredo sauce. However, the sliced Italian sausage appetizer was tasty. This picture is of the fettuccine carbonara entree, and I just want to say this is not fettuccine carbonara. I'm willing to go back and try another entree or two before I say they are a no-go for me. My recommendation to the management is figure out a better fettuccine carbonara recipe and save the Canadian bacon for the pizzas.

Kids portions should be 5 and under not 12 & under. Very small portions spaghetti and meatballs was just 1 ball. Stuffed mushrooms were mushy didn’t like the sauce. Alfredo was pretty good tasting & their bread was good.

This place is ok, like a 4 out of 10. I got the pasta combo and a salad. The salad was small and very simple but good. The rolls are off the chain and so is the sweet tea! The food was good but like lasagna to me is thick, cause of the layers of meat cheese and pasta, right? There's was real thin with like 2 layers of pasta and small portions of the 3 other pastas and could use a little more flavor. The restaurant itself was a tad bit on the small side and I felt a little cramped in there. The service was awesome tho. I'll go back mostly cause it's the only place around for miles.

This was hands down the worst stromboli I’ve ever had. It was burnt beyond recognition. Pulled it apart hoping for some bread, but the bottom wasn't much better. Lacked taste and effort. Sausage wasn't much better; it's the little pill kind. Honestly, it felt like they didn’t even try. Someone had to see this before wrapping it in foil! A total waste of money and time.

First time ordering from here, we WERE super excited until we got home. We ordered chicken Alfredo for like $16.99 + 4.99 for the chicken… pictured it what we got. That is at best a child portion. For $20 bucks we expect more than a few bites. I also ordered (and paid for) a chicken Cesar salad WITH extra dressing… got home and NO dressing. They were not busy and the man working the counter (older not the younger guy) lacked any personality on the phone or in person. For dang near $50 (we also got a pizza, which wasn’t bad) I am so disappointed. We unfortunately did not want to make the 45 min round trip back to deal with the issue. So forewarning though the food was decent if you get it to go double check your order and be prepared to be underwhelmed by the position size and personality.

2 years ago the food was good. Now my dog won't eat the food. I ordered two small chicken alfredos with garlic bread. I got home with 2 small orders of noodles what is mushroom cream on it no mushrooms either and no chicken the bread was not garlic bread they're just plain bread. I attempted to get them to replace the order and they asked me what did I want to just wait till the next time I come in and they would give me a discount on two small orders again. After driving 30 minutes to one way and 30 minutes back home and for the price I paid for it it's definitely not worth it. That is just my opinion. Other people may have better look at it than me.
