Cafe RomaVery good serviceMy dinner was excellent. I took most of the recommendations from the waiter, who didn't steer me wrong. Excellent wine list, inlay ding the owner's own label.
The one drawback was that it is right next to tr Amtrak and bus station. It wasn't super noisy when I was there, but the parking lot is somewhat busy and I imagine that would get loud during the day.
Overall a very nice dinner. A tad expensive, but not outrageous.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMbest Italian in SLOCafe Roma continues to have the best food and atmosphere in SLO. Service is impeccable. In contrast to the current trend in overly loud restaurants, Cafe Roma is still a place where you can hear table conversation. My favorite place to dine in SLO.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMFriendly waitersVery friendly, helpful waiter. And the food was cooked perfectly and timed perfectly to arrive at our table. Giving us a no rush, leisure dining experience with our friends.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMA Central Coast GemA noted above Café Roma is a superb restaurant at all levels.

Bon Appetite5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMOld World StyleThe ambiance at Cafe Roma is beautiful and relaxing. I had the butter nut squash ravioli that just melted in my mouth. And for dessert, I had the creme brulee, which was fantastic and my husband loved his chocolate Mousse! We have been there twice with large groups and the service was wonderful. I look forward to going back for a date night with just my husband and I.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent dining experienceCalamari, caesar salad, veal piccata , and wild salmon were delicious.

We have never even had a mediocre meal. We love your restaurant.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWe thought the food was veyWe thought the food was vey good. The service was slow. The waitress forgot the wine order and we had to re-order the wine. She spent alot of time in coversation with the next table. Likely while our food was waiting to be picked up as the lamd dish was not hot on arrival.The waitress needs some help coping with customers who take up her time at the expense of doing her job. I thought she had very good potential when she was able to focus. I do not blame her solely as the other table was quite demanding of her time. We want to have fun too but also a good meal with good service. Otherwise a very good restaurant.
