I celebrated my graduation last night in this gorgeous place. happy to tell that it was a incredible evening and the venue was clearly one of the reasons for the strong evening. The crew helped in a graceful style, the meals were tasty and my buddies were extremely happy. We shall surely come back again for more joyful events. thanks very much.

Very well kept and convenient place. They provide large meals and for fair prices. We liked the menu very much and the staff were very personal and informative. Highly recommended.

Sad to say... I dined here a little over a year ago.. no idea they had changed ownership til after my meal. It was complete garbo though. They used to have this really good house made ricotta (literally would eat it by the spoonfuls) and the stuff they had this last time was horrible. Not even worth getting. The pasta was not al dente, and the pink sauce was not flavorful like it use to be. I couldn't finish my meal and it by far the worse experience I ever had there so I didn't return. So disappointing because it truly use to be amazing pasta and I had taken so many people there. Where did the old kitchen staff go?

I tried this spot already with a friend and I am addicted since then. I like the excellent vibes and tasty food and drinks. I recommend this place.

Shame on you for denying a disabled young man from ordering off the kids menu!

I just discovered that Cucina Roma is temporarily closed for remodeling... and I am lost. I literally don't know what to do or where to go. Cucina Roma is my go-to spot in Orange County and I literally look forward to the 2hr drive from San Diego because of it. The restaurant is cozy and the service is top-notch and they now recognize me and know my order (Shoutout to Blake!) The baked ziti is to die for and thanks to this remodel, I was forced to visit another local highly-rated hot spot (hint: rhymes with "Papa Z's"). I was sorely disappointed because Cucina Roma set the bar so high. The entree platters come with a good-sized and delicious salad, freshly toasted bread is endless, and the wine selection is great. PLEASE COME BACK AND REOPEN *sobs*

Place opens at 5pm. Server brought us drinks, bread and butter, then the soup. The lasagna was great but I've tried better. I was not impressed by the food but our server was amazing, gave him $20 tip just for his attention to our needs of drinks. We ended up drinking more than we planned. This is a great place to bring family and friends and enjoy a good time.

This place has changed. None of the food was cooked the same. Their salad was prepped differently: used to be tossed w dressing and even the dressing was different. Their Alfredo sauce was changed, not as good. Their pasta ala checca wasn't as flavorful as before. Only thing that was the same was the calamari.. very disappointed and not sure why they changed a good thing! But won't be returning sadly. They got a new kitchen staff or their chef decided to change things up?

Pro: Large portions. Definitely enough to share Calamafritti was good. Cons: sauce on eggplant and veal was all oregano. Someone must've dropped the entire jar into the sauce. Eggplant was tough and bitter. Salad very basic and dressing bland.
Just tried this restaurant randomly and am I glad I found it! The food tasted so good, the place looked amazing and the service was just lovely. My only note is that I noticed would be that they oughta clean the chandeliers and other cosmetic furniture on the walls and such cause when I looked at the lights above, I noticed a lot of collected dust and spider webs.

I love this place! The food is delicious and the staff are always friendly when coming here. Always a nice place to enjoy good Italian food with a nice red wine. Love getting their chicken Alfredo. Yum!!!!

This place has gone so down hill from the previous ownership. We have tried it several times, hoping it's improved, and sadly it has not. We sent our pasta dishes back tonight for an acidic taste from the tomato's. My daughters boyfriend is puking now from either the really salty wedding soup or the one slice of crappy pizza. We have officially given up on this place and are looking for a new go to Italian restaurant in our neighborhood!

Love love love this place! It's my go-to for Italian food and the ambiance is perfect for a date night. The spaghetti and meatballs - even though it's a simple meal, is amazing because they add a huge dollop of ricotta! I will be coming here forever!
