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.
Le serveur un gros zéro le service aussi & mon assiette je crois qu'ils ont échappé la salière dedans beaucoup trop salé en plus des frites commerciales pas très bon trop chère pour le tout jamais j'y retournerai.
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.

Tout est excellent ,les pâtes al denté & les sauces savoureuses . L'accueil de Maria est chaleureux & le service est super . Nous y allons régulièrement & l'avons fait découvrir à plusieurs amis , mon fils dit que jusqu'à maintenant c'est le meilleur veau parmigiana qu'il a mangé C'est dorénavant notre restaurant pour le souper du nouvel an avec toute la famille. Un merci spécial à Tony le serveur ,il est toujours attentif
The service is very slow. The food is not on par with other restaurants of that type. The wine list looks pretty good however half litre house wine is not available, you have to order by the glass which of course ups the price. The best part of the meal for me was the bread, so really I cannot give this place more than one star.
I will agree with this comment, but one thing was omitted in this was the rudeness and low class people that serves you. I my opnion why people go there is the location. Not upscale and neither is the staff. I have said it all, hope to you to risk it.
From the minute we walked in, the greeting & attention was amazing. The ambiance was warm & comfortable.The service was incredible, even the young man filling our water glasses. When I requested some hot water, he immediately went to get it & returned promptly. The food was beyond delicious, beautiful presentation, nice sized portions, & seasoned to perfection! We definitely will be back & we highly recommend this restaurant.
I had reserved for 25 people for my wife's 40th birthday, & as a first time client,: very impressed! The orders were taken ahead of time out of courtesy so as to not affect both us & other clients, the food (appetizers + main meal) was delivered in a well synchronized, timely fashion. They were even able to accommodate 4 later joiners with the main meal. The service was excellent, the food & drinks were good (people asked if I had organised the place because I knew it & was a successful try at a new place nearby). Good communication & organisation with the head waiter- was able to organise the details of the night as it went by. Waiters & waitresses very courteous, & will be back. Thanks so much to the team at Piazza Romana! (Joe & Annik)
I am shocked to see the rate for this restaurant as it doesn't justify the reality. Unfortunately people who like this restaurant didnt come to review it.
I am taking the time to do so. I used to go to this restaurant about 20 years ago when I was more frequently in the west island. Now that I am back in the west, I plan to go often.
We came to celebrate my husband & my birthday as well as mother's day as we were away for vacation. It was our first time at the restaurant with our 7 month old baby & the staff was great, we got a high chair right away. When I needed to heat up the milk bottle i asked for hot water & without hesitation i got it with a big metal glass which help heat it quicker. When we left the restaurant, the waiter opened door for my husband as we had gifts in his hands soon after that i walked toward the exit door carrying my child & right away opened the door for me. These a little things that makes SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!
As for the FOOD!!! WOW I had forgotten how good it was, each family member took a different plate & EVERYONE loved their dish!! That's rare, there's always someone not satisfied.
So very disappointed. We have all been coming here for many years & have noticed the significant decline in service & food for quite some time. Last visit was absolutely the worst. Our drink orders & meal orders were all mixed up, they ran out of bread, we waited just under three hours to get our meals, & once they arrived, they were either cold or wrong. To add to the negative experience, when we voiced our disappointment to the owner, she very rudely advised us that the restaurant would be fine without our business. She said this several times. No effort was made to improve the situation & we were never even offered coffee at the end of our meal. We were however offered our bills, again, some issued incorrectly. This was a negative experience from start to finish. When I spoke about this experience afterwards, several people agreed that this restUrant has really gone downhill, & most people agreed that they would rather not return. Very sad.
I've been going to this resto for about three years now. Me & my gf absolutely love it there. Nice ambiance & EXCELLENT food! Our favorite dishes are the penne carbonnara & their pizza romana. Delicious!
