The Roma signature cocktail with meat lasagna and tiramisu were a lovely treat šŸø šŸ°

I don’t usually write reviews but my goodness I need to do people a service….

My stomach is bubbling as I type this. Poor service aside, I get it that a single bartender and waitress may have difficulty running a restaurant alone and I’m sympathetic on the matter.

Let’s just get to the food….My partner ordered a sad caprese salad for $12 with mealy tomatoes and a quarter of a sprig of basil. I ordered a half roma salad to start and the chicken manicotti as my meal. Everything came out at once which I found odd. The salad didn’t have artichokes as advertised but whatever and it was mostly mushrooms and balsamic. As for the chicken manicotti…..whatever you do if you choose to go here after this review….dont get this meal. First and foremost, the chicken appeared to be canned and was sitting on top of the manicotti. I ate half the meal because I was hungry but oh my gosh I regret that. Tummy isn’t feeling too good. I guess I should have seen the $15 price next to a pasta dish with chicken and understood that it was going to be bottom of the barrel type ingredients. A huge reason my partner and I went here was because our favorite restaurant in Juneau was closed for an event (boca). I had eaten at Roma about 4 years ago and remember a tortellini dish that was amazing. They changed hands/chefs since and I’ve been wanting to try it. At this point, Roma has the facade of a nice restaurant but is your average small town crappy low grade Italian hole in the wall pizzeria. Can’t believe I just paid for canned chicken at a restaurant. If you want cheap Italian food with sub par standards, go here.

We are traveling and wanted a taste of home so were excited to find an Italian food option. The restaurant was quiet, maybe one third full. Waitress seated us then took our drink order. She had no energy, no greeting, no welcome. We made a very simple joke meant to ease tension and got an annoyed eye roll. My wife commented that she seemed like she didn't want to be there. We got our drinks and ordered. We indicated we would like to finish off the meal with a Port (sometimes this helps to give advance notice).

Our food arrived, and the best I can say is it was as ordered. Nothing special, nothing bad. We live in a very heavy Italian area and are Italian ourselves so perhaps were a little hard to please. We ate our whole meal and only saw the waitress once. Eventually I flagged her down to ask for the Port but instead got asked if we were ready for our check. She went to get it before I could hand her my card. She comes back to the table and I handed her my card and was met again with the eye roll. We paid and left.

This waitress is missing opportunities to make you money. We could and would have ordered rounds of drinks and desserts. We were never sold or even pitched. It was not busy.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Roma Restaurant in Juneau, Alaska!

The food was truly amazing every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can tell they take pride in every plate that comes out of the kitchen. The service was just as impressive friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish.

If you’re in Juneau and looking for a memorable meal, I can’t recommend Roma highly enough. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and make this your dinner spot. Highly recommended!

Lasagna was really-really good! Wife had meatballs which were good, but the Lasagna was better, so order the lasagna. I was unable to finish this beautiful dish. Yum!

Best pizzeria in Juneau. The chefs are very talented so all meals are amazing and the specials on the menĆŗ are a must when available. I am vegetarian and they have an amazing eggplant lasagna that is to die for. The tiramisu is really good too, drinks are always on point and the atmosphere is 10/10. Highly recommend.

if I could give this establishment less than one star, I would. My brother and I were on vacation and we ordered a pizza to go, which by the way was disgusting and extremely overpriced. when we asked for plates to take with us back to our hotel The owner yelled at us from across the restaurant that we could use the box lid of our pizza box to eat off like dogs. Worse customer service ever!

Favorite place thus far in Juneau. Super chill vibe, tasty food, and great service from Kyle. I would also say it’s quite affordable compared to other restaurants in the area. Would definitely recommend!

Their Italian nachos were amazing! But we got lasagna and two different pizzas which all 5 of us were very disappointed in. No flavor in the sauce and pizza was just nothing special and it was the first crust I wouldn't even attempt to eat just dry and morning special. If you want a little snack grab a drink and their nachos. Keep it simple to stay happy with what you are purchasing.

Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Food was wonderful! Staff was amazing! Drinks over the moon! Cozy, sweet, and mouth watering! So much so I had to go twice in two days. On the way to take the fishing boat to the lower 48 for maintenance, and looking forward to seeing you next year upon returning!
