“Not a chain - GREAT ITALIAN”

Reviewed 25 September 2016

I was visiting Mobile with my volleyball team and we always like to eat one night of good Italian. I get tired of Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill so we always try to find a local joint. Read some reviews of Romas and decided we should give it a try. I called to tell them we had a party of 19 and would be there in 10 minutes - they were all set when we arrived. They started by bringing us plenty of fresh garlic bread - nothing fancy but fresh and delicious. We all tried a variety of many different things and everyone raved about their choice. I had the meat lasagna and it was great - meaty, but not dry! The various ZITI options all had great sauces - specifically the one with a pesto cream sauce - AWESOME. This is a great locally owned spot!

We decided last minute to have a family dinner to celebrate my sons birthday while we were in town. We were a party of 14 that showed up with no reservations. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious!!

Went on a Friday night. Young woman maitre d was very nice and accommodating of our table request, and our server, Marissa, was excellent- friendly, helpful, and accurate. Food was very good and nice sized portions with a side salad- and prices were very good.

This is a local place in a strip mall with not the most attractive others shops. This is not fine dining but a nice hearty meal.

We visited Roma Cafe for the first time on a Saturday night. We did have a short wait, but the staff was on top of things and made sure we knew they were working on it. The server made sure we were taken care of, and she was great with the two kids with us. The food was great! The house/Italian dressing was very good, as was the cheese bread appetizer. The prices were very reasonable. We will definitely eat at Roma Cafe again.

I went to this location as a recommendation by a co-worker. They really like the place. I really don't. They are in a lower quality section of town and we did have to deal with a pan handler in the parking lot. I am not against pan handlers but you should know they are in the parking lot. Parking was ample. The facility is dark inside but not by design. It's just old. My table was missing about a 3" square of the top. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana. I actually make it better at home. The gravy was....yeah. It was well breaded but the spaghetti was overcooked. They made up for it all with a LOT of cheese but I prefer flavor. I really won't go back.
