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.
Piazza Romana offers a polarizing dining experience where many guests appreciate the warm ambiance, beautiful decor, and overall friendly service, while others highlight significant inconsistencies in food quality and value. While several patrons praise the delicious pizza, flavorful veal, and enjoyable risottos, frequent reports of lukewarm vegetables, dry chicken, and lackluster pasta dishes suggest a decline in culinary standards for some visitors. Despite a welcoming atmosphere suitable for celebrations, concerns regarding small portion sizes, high pricing, and occasional lapses in attentive service mean that experiences can vary greatly depending on the visit.
On va bientôt déménager à proximité du Pointe Claire Village & on a voulu tester ce restaurant en premier. En voyant les prix & le style de la salle on s'est dit qu'on allait très bien manger…
Mon mari a commandé des carbonara, j'ai pris des pâtes aux légumes avec sauce au vin blanc puis nous avons partagé une salade César. Le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas bon. Les pâtes carbonara étaient très basiques, mes pâtes avaient peu de goût même si la sauce choisie avait l'air de rajouter de la tenue en bouche, quelques légumes parsemés, puis la salade était au plus simple & peu goûteuse. Un ensemble assez fade qui n'avait pas le goût du reviens-y. Par contre, seulement les mini tranches de pizza qui nous ont été offertes avant de passer commande étaient assez bonnes.
Pour le service, nous avons été servis poliment mais de manière assez brusque. Pas à la hauteur d'un endroit qui à l'air haut de gamme non plus. Les apparences peuvent être trompeuses.
Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant, ou sinon ne vous attendez pas à des plats qui valent les prix sur la carte.
We had such a lovely cozy evening at Piazza Romana.
The vibe of the restaurant is homey & warm. There's nothing like seeing the twinkling lights of pointe claire village from the windows. The pizza & calamari were delicious.
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.
Always enjoy going in Pointe Claire village. The scenery is nice, the restaurant ambiance is nice. The food is very good, the service & nice. I'm only knocking it down a star because there's no kids menu & not much adapted for children.
We've been going to this neighborhood spot in the middle of Pointe-Claire village for about 30 years. While it's expanded considerably the quality of the food has remained fairly consistent. Our group of 11 was seated at the table that was already set for us. Oddly, a couple of spots were missing parts of their place settings (forks, napkins, glasses). The service wasn't particularly friendly, & was extremely slow. It took about 35 minutes between when we arrived & when menus were distributed, & we had been seated for almost exactly an hour before they started taking our orders. One server told us that we could still order from the lunch menu (until 16:00), but another told us that was no longer possible (at 15:36). It took another 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. The food was quite tasty, but there was a gap of about 10 minutes between the arrival of the first dishes & the last - so several of us had cold dishes. Overall good, but definitely not as great as it used to be.
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.
I tried again after 7 years this restaurant. Last time I was disapponted with the service but this time the service was the best you can expect. The foods & appetizers were higher than average but not excellent. The atmospher is alsi nice with fireplace & beautiful pointe claire village.
My daughter went to celebrate her 18th birthday at Piazza Romano in Pointe-Claire Village. The restaurant was 1/2 full but staff took 1 hour to serve them with sub-standard food. Not to mention the waiter abused the fact that these are young kids (18 years & younger)& they ordered a 21$ 1/2 bottle of wine (for legal drinkers) & he brought a $40 bottle of wine without consent because he thought that wasn't enough for 6 people & started arguing with them when the bill came. The manager was rude & obnoxious. I wouldn't go there again if you paid me. No wonder your restaurant is 1/2 full. I never would treat my clients like that. Shame on you for ruining someone's birthday!
