"One of the Best New Restaurants in Houston."
Culture Map

ROMA, an Italian eatery in Rice Village, is Houston's premier Italian restaurant, known for its homemade traditional pastas, its creative contemporary Italian cuisine, and its fine wine program.

ROMA was called one of "Houston's Best New Restaurants" by CultureMap when it first opened in 2019. And Houstonia magazine has called it one of their editors' favorite Italian restaurants in the city.

In 2020, ROMA launched what would become one of the city's most successful virtual wine dinner programs, often "hosting" more than 80 guests weekly in their homes as Italian winemakers joined from Italy.

That has inspired Shanon Scott to take his wine program to the next level. "Our goal is to make ROMA one of Houston's top wine destinations by the end of 2021," says Shanon.

Look out for new and regularly occurring wine tastings, wine dinners, and other wine and food events at ROMA!

    Went to the Tinazzi wine dinner. The wines were all very good. Also, if interested could purchase bottles. All were not expensive. The 3 course meal was wonderful and you did not leave hungry. We have been to Roma’s wine dinners before and all have very good.

    Marvin, it is always having you both into our home. I truly appreciate the kind words, the support and you sharing your dining experience. We love doing these wine dinners! The staff and I will research the food on these menus for days. We always pair the wine with the traditional cuisine from that region. We hope to see you again very soon. All of the best, Shanon

    My friend liked the fish- the branzino and my other friend liked the lasagna. I didn’t care for the ravioli with shrimp. But we enjoyed the patio and it was a cool evening. Our waitress was very good.

    Cinco de Mayo, with Italian food! Great, friendly service. Tasty cocktails and wines. Fantastic appetizers, and filling homemade entrees. And don’t sleep on the desserts and dessert wines. Port and limoncello, and one of us had cannoli! A must visit, every time we are in town. .
