   The server very knowledgeable, excellent food. We had a nice bottle of wine. Highly recommend this place. Small place but atmosphere was great. Nice upbeat music.

   My new favorite place. Small, tasteful and cozy. The best eggplant parmigiana I’ve ever eaten. And I’ve eaten it quite often! I’ll be back often.

   Everything was great - ambiance, service, drinks and dinner. My rating withdraw be a 4.5, but that’s not an option. We did not think the coffee or desserts were very good. Tiramisu tasted and had the consistency of a strawberry short cake and churros were not fully cooked. Would definitely return.

   House made pasta, house made mozzarella! Need I say more? No, but I will. The service was fantastic, attentive, friendly and polite. The food? I recommend the eggplant Parmesan with the spaghetti. It was a bit much with the spaghetti for me but that just meant I got to have more eggplant parm later in the evening. Finely crafted classic beverages as well. A treat and a delight! We are looking forward to going back for dessert and a beverage at some point as we were comfortably stuffed without it. Bravo to the Roma! Beautiful historic building.

   Food was very good but the atmosphere was spoiled by thumping nightclub music playing over the speakers … very inappropriate for an Italian cafe.

    Appetizers were delicious… took a bit to get our main meal but servers gave us a free dessert (though we didn’t complain) and food was well worth the wait. Intimate beautiful friendly location. Roma cafe clearly cares about customer satisfaction

    The menu was different than what is on this app. My drink was plain. The spaghetti wasn’t soft enough to even be considered el dente.

    We went to Roma Cafe for my birthday dinner and was delicious. We started with the mussels, kale Caesar salad to share and then we got one of the specials of the night (spinach and ricotta filled ravioli in a butter sage sauce) and one off the regular menu (bolognese). All were so delicious! One of my favorite restaurants in portland!!

    Excellent meal and great service! The fried risotto balls appetizer was a favorite! The chicken parm was classic and delicious. We tried three desserts and they were all wonderful. The strawberry tiramisu was light and creamy and so flavorful!

    My husbands chicken on his chicken parm was not good. Lots of oil had soaked in and it just had a strange texture to the bite. The portions I feel got smaller and the prices went up.

    I had the Cod special of the day. It tasted like someone had upended a salt shaker on the rice pilaf the Cod was sitting on plus salted the fish as well. Just horrible for $36 ! The place has gone downhill from 30 years ago. My husband didn't like his Rucca either. The Tiamasu I had for dessert was old and the worst I have ever had. There was a chef that used to cook for Longhorn in Biddeford and he cooked everything with a ton of salt too. There was garbage all over the steps outside... just terribly sad.

    We stayed in a great B & B in the West End. Roma was a short walk away. First visit here was delightful. Good house red wine. I ordered soup of the day (lentil) which was hearty with a touch of heat from pepper. Special beet pasta with shrimp and andouille sausage was also amazing. My wife ordered eggplant parmigiana that she raved about. Service and prices were great excellent also. Will be coming back at first opportunity.

    We booked Roma for a nice dinner while visiting Portland ME and loved the old house, the architecture and the small intimate rooms where you dine. The homemade pasta was like Nonna’s and we loved the experience. Would highly recommend

    The service, food, hospitality, and ambience were wonderful at Roma and we are looking forward to going back again soon. We arrived at 5:30 and it was very quiet and by the time we left it was a pretty moderate noise level. If you want a quiet dinner for two go early. We were fortunate enough to get a parking spot out back. We both highly recommend Roma!

    The restaurant is lovely. We had the rice ball app which was ok, but not special. My husband enjoyed his ragu dish, the eggplant was again ok but not special. My Manhattan was just not good. The lemon rind in the drink was overpowering.

    I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Very friendly young lady. She sat us at our table and brought water. The room was candlelit and soft jazz music was playing. Every table had a small candle and a tiny vase with a flower. So romantic! Our server immediately came over to our table- We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary and she brought over two glasses of Champagne. I am in Heaven- Food was perfect and they even offered a gluten -free, vegan option. We are very happy and will be back again soon!! Roma Cafe is perfect for that special, romantic night out to Dinner.
