“ Indulged in a fabulous meal here! Don't let the parking situation get in your way - the parking lot is frequently full but they offer free valet service. Our server provided great recommendations and was super attentive. The inside is cozy and decorated nicely for the holidays. The bread you start with comes with fresh garlic soaked olive oil just is a unique and delicious touch. I tried one of the cocktail specials which was a blood orange cosmo. It was strong with a balance of sweet and tart. For entrees, we tried the Cavatelli Aldo Moro and Rigatoni Carbonara. All the pasta is made fresh daily and tasted incredible - would highly recommend trying both! We finished our meal with chocolate lava cake which was rich but not overly sweet. I'm already thinking about my next dining experience here! ”

“ Such a good dinner experience!! The calamari has a good fry on it! Loved the cheesiness on the Prosecco chicken! And we loved that the day we went was half off martinis! Restaurant is elegant on the inside and the staff was extremely friendly! ”

“ I attended a shower on the back covered patio area Osteria Romana last month and was totally impressed by the abundance of flavorful food, classy service, and intimate ambiance. There was a five course meal including appetizers, salad, pasta, a selection between 3 entrees, and dessert (including coffee and tea). There were multiple trays of appetizers and desserts per table so there was more than enough per each guest. I selected to eat the stuffed chicken which was outrageous. The watermelon mojito was refreshing and perfect for spring. I can't wait to come back to this establishment for happy hour, date night, and weekend brunch to further explore their menu. ”

“ I've been coming here often and this place has good food and nice ambience. I've tried many things on the menu, but my favorite is to get the ravioli pantera rosa but with fettuccine instead and with crispy chicken. That sauce is so creamy but has such a nice glaze to it. It's a rose sauce with garlic, grey, goose, and truffle oil. Delicious! The service is also kind and patient. Would recommend if you're in the mood for Italian food. ”

“ Great little spot in Monroe. Our dishes were very tasty. Service was very friendly. Loved the ambience. I would have plated a little bit differently the risotto dish, I feel like the risotto was a very generous portion, but I would have preferred to see the rice being a cup size on the side of my plate and then the delicious seafood on top of it or right in the center. Our waiter was coming for orders at the right time without being too much or having to wait. Would highly recommend! ”

“ Great food, Great service, Great vibe! We had early reservations (530 pm) so didn't run into any issues parking or waiting for a table. Our waiter was prompt with water, bread and our drink orders. We each got an "Insalata Cesare" salad which was excellent - lots of shaved cheese, perfect amount of croutons, crispy lettuce and the dressing was very flavorful. I got the Fettuccine Bolognese and my wife ordered on of the specials - Porcini Risotto with shrimp. Both were incredible. We would definitely order these again, but I want to try several other things on the menu. We will be back! ”

“ Our family tried Osteria Romana for the 1st time in Monroe on Easter Sunday. A challenging time to be first trying a restaurant. There were little things here and there that kept this from being a 5 star experience. When we arrived the parking lot was filled. There was a valet but we were skeptical because I did not notice the guy had a sign, pin, or jacket stating he was the valet. Luckily it was legit. When I checked in early they were of course not ready for us. I asked would they come out and call us once our table was ready? I was told No and to keep checking back. I kind of felt like since there was no where to wait inside. They should have at least come got us when our table was ready. Our reservation was for 7 people @ 4pm and our table was ready at 4:15pm. It's fine it was Easter and they were busy. At one point our waiter left, and it took a bit before a new waiter came over. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. For appetizers my husband had the octopus salad, I got the mini meatballs. My husband was skeptical about the grilled lettuce but actually enjoyed it. The mini meatballs came in a cute bowl with a nice added touch of a wooden spoon and was really good. Our main courses were seafood risotto for him and prosecco chicken for me. He ate every last bite of his seafood. I tasted his risotto which was cooked nicely. The sauce for my chicken made my chicken cutlets not crispy but it had nice flavor. Desserts: Chocolate Lava cake with ice cream and pistachio cheesecake. Both heavenly and sweet (but not too sweet). Wish we were offered coffee or cappuccino. But I guess its good they didnt because we were all ready to get up and moving. Hope to try their brunch with my husband or smaller group soon. ”

“ Classy but unpretentious. Gracious but unobtrusive service in a delightful decor. But best of all... great food, large portions and very reasonable prices! Pasta fagiole was laden with beans and pasta... very filling when accompanied by fresh baked bread and olive oil. My salmon salad was more than enough for 2 meals and my wife's VEGAN friendly beet and citrus salad was delicious Very nice restaurant ”

“ Great bar service, great food, personal attention from the owners. My food was excellent and the smell of all the other meals , they must all be excellent as well. I highly recommend This place. 9/12/19. Great as always , my favorite Italian restaurant 4/29/23 After many Covid takeout nights , finally back and enjoying the restaurant. Food is great as always. ”
