Had dinner with an old friend. Spent 2 hours catching up on old times. Our server never rushed us and was both friendly and attentive. Both our meals were great. Very enjoyable evening.

Went here last week with a friend. Very nice atmosphere and the service was very good. The meatball appetizer was very tasty but the problem came with my entree. I ordered the veal parmigiana and after trying to cut it with a regular knife I had to ask for a steak knife but unfortunately that didn't work either. I had to send it back .... Now my friend is eating by herself. They made a second plate for me and that was much better however I took a couple bites and took the rest to go.

They just get it. No disappointment on any level. Chef, kitchen staff, bartenders, servers all coalesce for a great experience. Accolades to all.
Osteria Romana is a Family-friendly restaurant that has delicious Italian food. The restaurant tends to get more crowded and noisier later on in the evening. Beautiful place and the service is awesome, the servers are very kind.

Our party of 4 had an excellent dinner. Food quality was excellent. Larger portions and somewhat reasonable prices. Our server and the bus team were very professional. The decor and the mood lighting were excellent. Music was a very nice mix but, a little loud. Cocktails were nicely made but could be slightly larger. Martini glasses are not real martini glasses. We have had many great dinners there. Highly recommended.

This restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and cozy environment. You are never rushed while dining and the service is excellent. This time around, we had appetizers and salads for lunch...both very good. Will definitely return for a pasta dinner which was excellent the first time around.

Our new favorite restaurant in Norwalk, CT! Excellent, fast service and the staff was very attentive to our table. We enjoyed homemade bread with roasted garlic and oil dip, meatball and clams casino appetizers, spinach salad with goat cheese and lemon/oil dressing and Zuppa de Pesce for the main course. Everything was absolutely AMAZING and full of flavor at a terrific price point. Would definitely recommend and would rate it as one of the best restaurant around.

The decor and ambiance was decent, but the food was not good, not really Italian American food but Italian inspired food. Did not taste the way it should. Our servers (the many that came over) would only clear half the place settings and leave the rest while we had to push it out of the way ourselves to continue eating.

I hosted a wedding rehersal dinner for 60 family and friends and Julio Zuniga and his staff were outstanding in every way. Julio personally handled all requests flawlessly and worked with us closely in the planning. The atmosphere and the food was fantastic and enjoyed by all. Highly recommend for any size event, as they made my event a big success and memorable evening for all.Great people and restaurant!Dietary restrictions: We had a few vegetarians, glutten free and seafood alergy guests and they provided great options for every issue.

We go to Osteria Romana every Christmas Eve. The food is always excellent but this time I was very disappointed where our table was. I called way in advance for reservations for a nice table and we were seated at a table right near the kitchen, if we go again next year, I would like a better table.

Food and service are extraordinary. Waitstaff are energetic and attentive and all have pleasant personalities. However the noise level is such that it is difficult to converse even with a party of four. It is because of the acoustics of the restaurant and the metal ceiling. I hope they can remedy that somehow.
