Piazza Romana offers a focused selection of traditional Italian cuisine centered on hand-stretched pizzas and artisanal pasta dishes. The kitchen prioritizes classic techniques to create authentic flavor profiles using staple Mediterranean ingredients like imported tomatoes, fresh basil, and aged cheeses. Patrons encounter a straightforward environment where the preparation of thin-crust dough and al dente noodles remains the central focus of the culinary output. Every dish reflects a dedication to regional Italian standards, emphasizing simple combinations that highlight the quality of individual components. The selection of pasta sauces ranges from hearty meat-based ragus to light, herb-infused olive oil reductions. This establishment serves as a functional destination for those seeking consistent, authentic Italian staples delivered with technical precision and a strict adherence to time-honored preparation methods in a no-nonsense atmosphere.
Diners generally praise Piazza Romana for a warm Italian vibe, tasty pizza and pastas, and attentive service, with several highlighting gnocchi, a pleasant atmosphere, and a good wine list; however a number of reviews note small portions for the price, occasional bland or basic dishes, and uneven execution, with comments about high prices and some meals not meeting expectations, though many would return for the overall experience.

DO NOT COME HERE IF U CARE ABOUT GETTING YOUR MONEY'S WORTH
What is up with Italian & Greek restaurants these days? They keep thinking they can just give us some stale bread & unflavoured tomato sauce & price it at 40$. Not taking any of this crap.
The portions are too small considering each plate is 30-50$. When I first took a bite of my linguine primavera I could imagine the cooking process behind it: boil pasta, dump a can of grocery store tomato sauce, sauté some veg & call it a day. I see it being served in a small diner or pop up at a festival, pricing for 10$…. NOT 28$ in a fancy Italian restaurant !! The lemon chicken was fine, pretty basic, accompanied by boiled (or should I say steamed?) vegetables. I took a bite from the chicken & I got Deja vu & then I remembered where I had eaten a similar dish: at my elementary school cafeteria. Not to mention there might have been a little mishap because oops- the deep fried potato was cold- not room temp, but rather FRIDGE cold (they forgot to pop it in the microwave i guess?)
If you are though forced by your own will to dine here I would suggest the shrimp risotto if you're down to pay 38$ for it.
Yeah sure it's fine if you're invited for free supper here- you won't get food poisoning. But if you have to get a dollar out your own wallet: just know you will miss that dollar where you're back home still feeling a bit hungry.

Lovely Italian restaurant with excellent service. However, I was disappointed with the minestrone soup. Instead of the traditional hearty soup containing vegetables, beans, pasta, unfortunately it was a rather bland tomato broth with some cabbage. I didn't want to complain though, because everything else was wonderful.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Piazza Romana. Just skip the soup.
If you're looking for classic Italian dishes, this is the place to eat in the West Island. All the dishes we tried were simple, yet delicious. They are all made with fresh, quality ingredients & the portions are quite generous. Located in the charming Pointe-Claire Village, the restaurant has a cozy vibe & the staff are very welcoming. It's a great place for a family dinner or dinner with friends. It's also a good place to pop into on a weeknight after spending time shopping in the area.
I haven't been there in 4 or 5 years. In Pointe Claire Village. Always a nice atmosphere, fireplace, & in the summer you can take a lovely walk along the lakeshore by the water, & through the village. I had a Romana's pizza & some wine. Traditional, good, italian fare. Was very tasty. Good service, white tablecloths, all this makes a nice change, for a lunch destination.
Hadn't been at Pizza Romana in years. The place has changed to become a fantastic Italian restaurant that serves more than just Pizza. We had Pizza for sentimental reasons & the quality of the past was equally present in the now.

Piazza Romana is the most welcoming home style true Italian food & service & the restaurant is run by the most lovely family. Lovely ambiance, happy & long standing servers who take their craft seriously.. & the food.. what can I say at least as good as Nonna's!
I have been a customer for 25 years & will continue to be for at least another 25!
Keep up the great work.
Me & my boyfriend were very hungry & he has eaten here before & raves about the food. So almost at closing time on a Thursday we were greeted by the hostess & the waiters were very friendly & helpful. The food was extremely fresh & tasty. I highly recommend the Fried Calamari with their house dipping sauce. The romantic atmosphere was great for us,like you are in a hot spot down in old port. Great Italian restaurant in the west island :) GRAZIE!!!
