Just got back from celebrating our anniversay with a dinner at the Osteria Romana. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. The food was deliciously prepared and presented. Can't wait to go back for another special occasion or just for a delicious meal in a very comfortable and pleasant environment.

Seared tuna was fresh. The sweet sauce that accompanied the tuna was just right. The linguini sauce was a bit too heavy handed with salt. Otherwise, everything was very pleasant! A very good place for a date night

The first time having this food was by uber eats but I just wanted to stop by today and it was even better in person. The customer service, the food the atmosphere was all amazing. Even though it was a drive away from where I live it is so worth and I felt so attended to from the moment I walked in the door to when I left. I’m stuffed and excited for when I come back. The price is reasonable. The place is clean and averagely noisy. I would definitely recommend this restaurant...
