    Best Italian food in the area and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. They go out of their way to make sure your food is prepared as you like it. Lasagna, chicken parm & chicken francese are great but the steak and seafood are excellent also. They also own Romanacci, two doors down in the same plaza. Great pizza and smaller plates. Right next to that is Oggi Gelato!

    We didn't set out looking for Osteria Romana but had just returned from a full day of travel that ended at JFK airport. We were hungry, and Norwalk was about halfway home. We logged into OpenTable and searched for an Italian restaurant in Norwalk and chose Osteria Romana. It was easy to get to off of I-95 and had ample parking. We went inside and were pleasantly greeted and seated immediately. The ambiance was pleasant. A delivery of breads with a bowl of warm olive oil and roasted garlic arrived at the table. We ordered cocktails, which were delicious. For an appetizer we had calamari fritti with fradiavolo sauce. The calamari were tender and cooked to a perfect crispness, and the sauce was served on the side, so the dish wasn't soggy at all. My husband had the veal scarpiello - prepared exactly the way it should be, nice and spicy. I had the baked eggplant with homemade mozzarella. The sauce was absolutely delicious. I also had a side of broccoli rabe - served with just enough oil and garlic - not swimming in it. We ordered a nice bottle of super Tuscan wine with our dinner. The waitstaff was very attentive and responsive throughout our visit. The entire dinner including drinks, appetizer, bottle of wine, and entrees was very affordable ($140), and very, very delicious. The servings were enough that we both took home leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day. We highly recommend Osteria Romana and will definitely be returning.

    The tuna special was overdone; pastas just so-so. Burrata app was delicious. When the check arrived, instead of our 2 cappuccinos we were charged for 5 of them plus a dessert which we also did not order. I know most people simply split the bill without looking. When corrected, the waitress says thank you for noticing. This left a bad impression and feels dishonest.

    The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. My wife had branzino and I had eggplant parmigiana. Both were delicious. I also had a pear salad that was good but a bit underdressed. We then shared affogato for dessert that was yummy. The service was great and the bill was modest for what we had. I recommend!
