   This place is great. We ate: Roasted Garlic Babka - would eat again Spicy Gem Cesar - was fine. Spicy. Ate for vegetable sustenance Short Rib Pappardelle - delicious Filetto + cacio e Pepe raviolo - this is all over Instagram. It tastes so much better than I thought it would. I loved it. Charred broccoli rabe - good portion and tasty. Lemon cheesecake - lovely presentation and did taste good. (Though there are other desserts I’d want to try) (Note: Roni cups looked good but not worth it. It’s literally pepperoni cooked with ranch dressing. black truffle honey whipped ricotta looked good.) Loved the vibe. I want to go back already. It’s a bit pricey but fun to do for occasions. Also the women’s restroom is gorgeous. The cocktails are great.

   Service started out phenomenally and then it was almost as if our waiter lost interest. Ironic as we could tell from our table we definitely were his higher orders but that’s ok. The food is under seasoned. They miss certain opportunities in their pairings and offerings. It was a nice experience but definitely overhyped.

   One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Service was outstanding. Food was outstanding. We had the pepperoni cups, pork ribs, Cesar salad, and filet with the cacio e pepe on top and that was a perfect amount of food for 2 people. Highly recommend!!!

   My expectations were shattered. In my opinion it is far better than its sister restaurant Don Angie, which was also a great meal. We had the roasted garlic babka, porchetta ribs, short rib pappardelle, chicken scarpariello rigatoni, the fillet with the cacio e Pepe raviolo, the tiramisu ice cream cake, and the lemon cheesecake. Every single thing was amazing. One of the best meals I've ever had.

   Bad Roman lives up to its name. Never go to a restaurant with Bad in their name. The minute I walked in was not a good experience. Pretty build out compared to the last restaurant. I had a reservation and arrived 10 minutes earlier. I decided to check in with the hostess while waiting for my wife to arrive and received huge attitude. There was no one over 30 in the front of the house. Instead of just checking me in, I was cross examined on where the other party was. The place had many empty tables. I asked to sit at the window and was rebuffed. After having to explain that we we arriving separately I went to the bar. My wife then showed up a minute later and we were told our table was ready. Ok. No drink at the bar. Your loss. We sat. The waiter recommended the Pepperocini, which was described as dirty martini. It was not. It was pickle juice w vodka. We ordered the Yellowtail crudo, Lobster Pasta, and mushroom special. The Yellowtail was small but good. We wanted some wine after our pickle drinks. The waiter tried to give us tastes of white wine. However, we did not like the whites. The sommelier came over and tried to sell us on buying $150-$200 bottles of wine. Was he getting a commission? We picked 2 glasses of red. The lobster arrived without the mushrooms. No lobster forks or crackers were given to us. My wife asked 3 times for a cracker for the claws. The people next to us got lobster forks and crackers. The pasta was extremely spicy which was not on the menu. No one came around to ask. For the money, it wasn’t worth fighting the get the meat out of the shell while I’m wearing a suit. They should have deshelled the lobster for us. The mushrooms came out late and they comped them. When the waiter comes back finally, I tell him that he should have given us the proper utensils to eat a roasted lobster. He tells me the little forks are for oysters only and I tell him to turn around. Don’t need the attitude. Just call the place Bad.

    Had a reservation at 9, was seated at 8:58. We were immediately informed of specials and he’ll as well as served water. Service was so pleasant, our waiter, Blake, was so friendly and informative also very patient with our large party and indecisiveness. Food was absolutely amazing and probably the best meal I’ve had all year. I went for my birthday and was even given a delightful lemon cheesecake which totally changed my mind about cheesecake in entirety. Perfect meal and people. The ambiance is insane there is the greatest warm color palette and eccentric/maximalist decor. I definitely hope to return and sit at the bar or high tops for a new experience next time.

    Pastas were bland and cold when they arrived. Service was disjointed with long periods of time between courses (30 minutes). Our pastas arrived after our entrees.

    After a lengthy wait for a reservation- Bad Roman lived up to the hype- the space is gorgeous and totally redesigned from the former tenant- the food was on point and really creative! We had meatballs (melt in your mouth) the spicy Caesar, garlic babka (it will keep the vampires away and it's totally worth dragon breath) and four pastas including the short rib, tortellini with balsamic and Rock shrimp- they were all amazing- perfectly prepared and really flavorful. Drinks are fun and not too pricey- vibrant bar scene and great service! Save room for the frozen tiramisu.

    Went during Memorial Day’s lunch service. Only issue was the place was understaffed. Food was delicious and the filet was so tender, you didn’t need a steak knife.

    We went for brunch at 10am right when it opened. It was not as busy as I thought considering 10am was the only reservation available when I made it a couple days before via open table. I appreciated that, noise level was perfect. Everything was excellent, we had a great experience. Isa was our server and she was wonderful, very attentive and knowledgeable. Pretty much everyone who worked in there said hello, considering we were one of 5 groups of people. I ordered the filet with the cacio e pepe raviolo and my significant other ordered the brioche french toast. The filet was delicious, cooked perfectly, one of the best I've ever had; and the raviolo made it even more fantastic. The french toast was good also but the blueberries on it were cold which affected the temperature of the dish. A warm compote would have been heaven but otherwise the flavor was there. I would definitely go back to try the other dishes.

    I got my drink when we were done with appetizers. The service really was not good. Also it’s nearly impossible to get a reservation to this restaurant , yet there was at least 5 empty tables throughout the time we were there. Def. Not worth all the hype.

    This experience was extremely underwhelming. From the beginning the host was rude and condescending. Our waiter was rushing us the entire time that it felt like we could never sit down and enjoy the experience of this meal. When we had requested input on entree recommendations we were only suggested to order each of the most expensive items without input on how they tasted or prepared. It felt like he was only trying to maximize our spending potential when in reality the cost is not an issue. The quality of the food was sub par, lukewarm, and nothing tasted or felt fresh. Even when I asked for a cocktail I was told everything is premade. I cannot de-influence this restaurant more!

    This was a complete waste of time and money. This restaurant says they are fully booked but for a Friday lunch the restaurant was 80% vacant and they showed fully booked. We included in our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and there was absolutely no acknowledgement. The service was horrible. One guest had to reorder his gin and tonic 3 times as they kept getting it wrong. We had to ask for honey for our ricotta appetizer 4 times before we got it at the end of our meal. All the service was unacceptable. The room was empty and the food was all just ok. I will not return.
