Our family can’t give Romano Cucina enough stars we go every week if we’re in town the food is amazing. The service is amazing.! I highly recommend everybody go and try the food. It’s the best.

The original Romano Cucina sold off years ago to locals that have done a tremendous job keeping everything intact. The original owners moved to Dallas where they have a restaurant in my humble opinion this restaurant the atmosphere the food is identical to the one in Dallas.

This little gem was just a few doors down from our hotel, and I'm SO glad we decided to come here for dinner!! All our food was very delicious (calimari appetizer, lasagna & eggplant parmesan) and large portions! The calimari was some of the BEST we've ever had - so light & crispy, served with their scrumptious marinara sauce.
All that plus super friendly staff & excellent service, cozy atmosphere. We'll come back next time we're in town!
