   Experience: I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Villa Romana— We had a reservation for 10pm, but were running late. After arriving 15 minutes prior to closing time, they were extremely accommodating after explaining that we were at an event that ran late and I hadn’t been able to eat all day. They offered us a table, which we decided to take our meal to-go and to wait at the bar. The bartender was personable and served us great drinks! Food: I would highly recommend the Gnocchi— sauce is cheesy and creamy, gnocchi is decadent, soft, perfectly paired with the cream sauce. Lasagna is hearty and flavorful, filled with lots of meat and cheeses. Barrata — mozzarella is fresh and flavorful, wonderful with the prosciutto A great experience with wonderful food! A must visit if you are in the FtLauderdale area!

   We had a special night planned a few weeks ago with another couple but had to cancel due to hurricane Nicole. We rescheduled our night and made reservations for last Wednesday. We had to look a bit for parking but found some fairly easily. We loved the ambiance when we walked in. We had great wine, 2 ordered Italian and 2 Romanian dishes and we all shared. Food was fantastic! Wait staff was professional and non intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and everything about it. Definitely recommend for a special night out.

   Never disappoints! We had a big party and the restaurant was very busy, which offered us a great ambiance on karaoke night :) . The service was outstanding from our server Ionela to the actual food runner which she made sure that we had everything that we needed to be able to enjoy our dinner! Thank you Ionela and Cody! Can’t wait to be back! 😁

   I made a reservation for 8 for a Bachelorette dinner. We arrived 10mins late but they were super accommodating. My family is from up north and the table was set up beautifully and the ambience of the entire place was very inviting and relaxing and gave me total NY vibes in the best way possible! All of the food was so delicious and freshly made pasta was amazing! We also ordered the lamb it was cooked to perfection! Drinks were really good as well the bartenders sure know what they are doing! We ordered their smoked Hennessy and it was really nicely presented enclosed smoke vase and tasted great! Our server was so friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu and everything we ordered came out perfectly! We will definitely be back again! I would recommend Villa Romana restaurant to anyone who enjoys real Italian and Romanian food because they are the real deal! 5 stars well deserved!!

   Loved the booth on the terrace/porch with stone & greenery accenting the wall. Our waitress gave excellent recommendations. The pasta dish I had might have been the best I’ve ever had. Very fresh & flavors on point. Perfect meal & ambiance for my daughter’s birthday.

   We made a reservation through opentable. We got to Villa Romana on friday evening and we had a table ready for us outside. It was my husband's birthday and we had a great time. Our server was Ionela. She was kind, professional, and provided great service. She was great at interacting with our daughter that at times would get tiny antsy. We will definitely go back. We ordered a few Romanian dishes and we really enjoyed them. Thank you. Keep up the great work!

    Evening was great. Good to be at a restaurant that really takes pride in what they have to offer. From the bar to the check in staff, managers and all, including the LIVE MUSIC. Our server Mihai was always above and beyond his service. Enjoyed evening with all the kitchen staff for their delicious menu. JUST EXTRAORDINARY!

    Chicken picatta’s sauce was very tasty, but the chicken was rubbery, stringish seemed cheap frozen stuff. Live music was very nice Bathroom’s garbage receptacle was overflowing of used paper: that gave a very bad sensation of a restaurant

    First of all I’d like to say don’t bother making a reservation they don’t honor them walk-ins and reservations are equal to them we arrive there wasn’t a table available we were told we have to sit outside Second the water that they gave us which was in a bottle which would make you think that they had some sort of purification system before they put the water into this resealable bottle horrid the worst tasting water I’ve ever had when I brought this to the attention of the waiter all he wanted to do was sell me bottle water flat or Pellegrino so we ordered a Coke $3.95 for a 12oz can he brought the ice on the side but the ice tasted perfectly fine so whatever they were using to purify the water should be looked at. We order Carpaccio as an appetizer it was good wasn’t great a fair size portion waiter never came out and asked if we liked it or didn’t and by the way we waited almost 15 minutes until the waiter showed up to take the order in the first place no one cleared the appetizer plates the main course arrived with the food runner we had to pick up all the appetizer plates and hold them while he put down our main course and give him the dirty plates I ordered spaghetti and meatballs the same thing I order every time I go to the Italian restaurant for the first time I want to know exactly how good their meatballs are these meatballs were terrible Hormel frozen meatballs taste better they had no flavor the consistency was rubber spaghetti sauce was terrible had no flavor had to add salt and Pepper just to get some taste to it I can honestly saying never can remember the last time I had to season pasta sauce my friend ordered FETTUCINE GENOVESE he substitute the shrimp with chicken chicken was dry and rubbery the sauce had a good taste during the entire meal the waiter never ever ever came back out and asked was everything OK did you like the food is there anything I can get you it was like we didn’t exist service was horrendous was terrible

    The food was tasty! The gentleman who ran the food was great. The singer we loved he said he was the busser do not know if we believe him or not. But our waitress spent so much time talking to the bar tender and lady in the sequin dress that it really made for a bad experience. It took over 15 minutes just to get water and they weren't even busy. We did see other waiters working much harder so hopefully you would not have that experience and we did enjoy the food.

    This was our first time here. We ate outdoors in the front. Our waiter was excellent and very accommodating. He brought out a carafe of water and a basket of delicious bread while we were waiting for one more person in our party to arrive. We asked for suggestions on the Romanian menu. We tried the Salata de Vinete, an eggplant appetizer which was very tasty. For the main course, two of us ordered Pasta dishes (Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and Fettuccine Genovese) from the Italian menu. The shrimp on both dishes were plump and delicious and the fettucine cooked perfectly. We throughly enjoyed them. One of us tried the traditional Romanian Goulash which was described as "a traditional beef stew". He found it a bit salty and was surprised to find that it had chorizo in it, which he is not a fan of (but ate anyway). He thought the description should have been more detailed. Portion sizes were generous on everything we ordered. We had no room for dessert! We would definitely go back Villa Romana again and try other items!

    The ambience was nice but the food was ok. Took mom for Mother’s Day she wanted lamb chops. The lamb chops were bland as well as mash potatoes which tasted like they were from the box. The lobster stuffed ravioli was ok nothing over the top. The grilled octopus on top of grilled veggies was pretty good. No need for me to go back.

    The service was 100+ stars and the food was absolutely delicious!! A band played live music, which made the night so much more special! We were celebrating a birthday and they sang Happy Birthday and brought out ice cream. It was such a sweet detail! Even though the place was packed, the girl was so attentive with the details and the order, and never rushed us with the order or the bill. Another plus was the option for 2 menus- Romanian (my favorite) and Italian..so you are guaranteed to ALWAYS find something for every picky eater in your group! Will definitely return!!! Thank you for a special night! Camelia

    I can’t say enough good things about this family run restaurant. The food, the service, the ambiance all GREAT!! The Italian food is excellent but you are really missing out if you do not request the Romanian menu and try the food from there. The food taste as if your grandmother made it homemade. Excellent place and if you are not trying, you are missing out on a winner!!!

    First time guest at this Hollywood Blvd. restaurant. Not a favorite of this area for dining ,but looking for new dining spots. Outdoor and indoor dining available. Not a very Italian inspired menu with the exception of Red Snapper Livernase. which we ordered. Just average at best and served with bitter spinach ? Greek salad to start was overrun with onions .Prices moderate .Romanian menu offered as well and might be their specialty. Probably not returning for another try.

    The best part about our experience was making friends with the other tables. It seemed that we all were not having the best time so this brought us together. The restaurant seemed very unorganized. Maybe it’s related to the labor shortage. The food was great. What topped off our evening was getting an email from OpenTable saying we were a no show for our reservation. Also, I would suggest policing the patio tables on the sidewalk against people stopping to sit and have a smoke.
