Everything was fantastic, their wine menu is superb, the cool atmosphere with the wall of plants - I'm definitely coming back here to try the chicken parm.

“It's like being at your favorite dinner table with family and friends! With our beautiful Italian family gathering around the bar area in numbers of about 15 Friday night, we had a blast! Yes, Joe is our cousin and that is definitely warm and wonderful but Louise, Joe's matriarch, was there too which made it extra special. Lulu, chef, Delaney, "Ms. Brown", Linda and all staff were amazing and fun. So the food, sauteed arthichoke hearts, pasta fagioli, wedding soup, Chicken Romano, Veal Romano, beverage list unsurpassed and our usual standards and oh the red velvet cheesecake was picture and taste perfect. All food made to order fresh and it definitely shows the attention to every morsel we enjoyed. Oh, the bread is made locally and it's the best. We were almost the last to leave and we have all the photos to show our fun time. Can't wait to go back for their Sunday sauce. Salute and see you soon. Thank you for your "cordial" cordial to cap off the night. Highly recommend. There is nothing better than a cozy Italian restaurant that is one of a kind. Spring is here and the bocce court will be ready!“

“Went for lunch today, food as good as it always was, best meatball hoagie and fish sandwich ever! Our server Andreana was perfect!“

“Pazzo"s on Lysle Blvd. It's easy going and has good music 4 all if you put your money in the jukebox, and as always great service by little Jenny the barmaid, but you better get 2 at a time because the locals keep her shopping and she's a good hopper, LMAO !“

“Found this place living at children’s hospital, everyday I just wanted to leave and go here. Never knew what the menu would be like you would just have to go and see for yourself. Something new always. My husband swears they have the best wedding soup hands down. Im completely obsessed with the carrot cake and I will never be able to go or get it anywhere else. Best carrot cake ever! The staff and owner are super friendly and very easy to talk to. Need a laugh they chuckle and make the day a little brighter. I wish this place was a little closer to home we have Maria’s dinner every other night. We will definitely be back and can’t thank you all enough for everything the last few weeks. Sam & Day.“

“Had a wonderful experience today at Roman Bistro. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our waiter David was terrific. I chose the perfect restaurant for my birthday lunch.“

“Our server was just bizarre. Running around like a chicken with her head cut off. She was forgetting things and screwing things up. She would basically run away while we were still talking to her. This was 7pm on a Saturday. After forgetting my soup, I was eventually brought an incredibly messy bowl, as if the soup was literally thrown into the bowl. She would say she was going to get us refills and then come back without refills. She did package our leftovers which was nice of her and offer us more bread.“

“The food here is TO DIE FOR!!! And the service is awesome“

“my husband and I went to the pleasure bar today for dinner the food was excellent our waitress Jill was perfect could not have been nicer thank you for a great food and great service“

“IWasn't overly l impressed. Ate lunch here today after my mom's sigleftnificant other (Joe) passed away. I have to say I was pretty hungry by the time we the cemetery, and I was almost excited to see Chicken Romano on the buffet. It wasn't terrible, but the chicken tasted like very low quality meat. I was not the only one tobacco that“

“Loved this place! From out of town and I felt like I fit in right off the bat! Kim was amazing! Very impressed! Friendly, helpful and attentive. Crowd was fun and engaging. Kim suggested the deal on the beer and the pizza. Both delicious! Pizza was outstanding! Especially for the price. Just loved the feel of this place! Wish it was in Texas! Can't wait to try the sandwiches! Homemade chips also! A total local gem!“

“Great service - Great food“

“Always fresh, always fire 🔥 well worth the price 👌“

“Pros: the food is solid! I learned today that depending on who the chef is the calzone sizes are bigger. Not saying they’re not big already. They taste great. I accidentally got bacon pizza and pork calzone. I recommend mixing up the meats ?.

Cons: nothing I can think of at the moment. Lol. I got ID’d. I look 40. I know they wipe down their high chairs but they didn’t get to the one I pulled out.“
