The food was on point, out of the couple times I've been here I really would recommend the Alfredo, eggplant parmesan, and the calamari. The waiters are so nice and patient, and even with big parties the food comes out fairly quick. And the vibe of the restaurant is so cute and rustic. Overall is probably some of the best Italian around here. read more

Great food! We sat outside which was lovely. It is near a hospital, so there were a few sirens during our meal. We had the calamari and spinach dip. Both were delicious. We all enjoyed the lasagna. It was good. It was full of sausage and made with very small noodles. But quite good and cheesy. All the baked dishes were served Very, Very hot! Yum! read more

This was our first visit for date night and it was nothing short of perfect. Our server Hannah was amazing and very attentive. Our drinks and complimentary garlic bread were never empty.

We ordered cannolis for Togo dessert thank you so much to Roma & Hannah for making our night wonderful read more

Roma Cafe - Meat Lasagna Angel hair Alfredo with fried chick breast - Italian Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

We took a chance and picked a restaurant off Yelp. Boy, are we glad we did! We had such a great meal. I got the Seafood Manicotti. The shrimp were huge. My Mother-in-law got the Lasagna which was excellent. These dishes came out in their own dishes where the food was direct cooked it. Bubbling, hot and full of flavor. My daughter got the chicken parm and received two huge pieces of chicken. The waitress was so nice and included a piece of cheesecake for my daughter since it was her college graduation. We will definitely be back and recommend to all read more

Best spaghetti with meat sauce in Mobile, bar none. And they have many other Italian dishes as well. My wife and I try to eat there at least once a month, on Sunday after church usually. read more

I have to say. For an Italian spot I'm impressed- typically I go to fancy places that cost a ton. Nope this place is better. The bruschetta was fresh and good portion size. It felt like I was at an Italian grandmothers place-cozy, warm, and full! We got a past and chicken parm. Tried to eat it all but portions are large so you could probably share. It comes with a great salad and bread as well. The tiramisu OMG I am a tiramisu fan so I get it everywhere. This one is silk and melts in your mouth. I was arguing with my husband who would get the next bite. That's how good! Really great experience here and can't wait to come back with my Grandmother and husband for a lovely meal read more

Get the penne basilica! The chicken is so tender and plentiful. When you walk in the door you won't expect much. It has a basic family restaurant feel but the food is so much better than the ambiance. I was shocked how good it was. read more

A near perfect dinner at Roma. I went back and forth as to if I should go 4-5 stars. Let me start with dinner and go back to appetizers. The chicken parm, although not the most unique order is just a favorite Italian dish of mine, and it was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed my salad with made in house Italian dressing. My fellow loved his veal cacciatore-and it was yummy. We had started our meal with the spinach dip, which was a nice size. However, we barely had eaten half and were out of the very few pita chips that accompanied the dip. There was an up charge for additional pita. I understand that, but we only received like 6 chips for a large portion. It was a small thing, and the food was excellent. We will be back. read more

I had the fettuccine alfredo and it was super creamy without being too heavy. The pasta was cooked perfectly, not too soft and not too firm. The sauce had a nice garlicky flavor that I really liked. I added grilled chicken on top and it was juicy and well seasoned. The place had a warm and cozy vibe, great for a casual dinner. Our server was friendly and checked on us often. I'd totally come back to try another dish. read more

This place is excellent, but they have long waits on weekend nights so we like to go at lunch when we can. The service is great, and food is delicious. It is a small place, but they do have sone outdoor seating. I had the eggplant Parmesan and it was excellent. Highly recommend! read more

We went on a Sunday lunch and there was no wait when we arrived and a wait for people as we were leaving. Food is a little oily but delicious. We had great waitress but had to get up a few times for assistance. Fresh salad was nice. I liked the balsamic dressing. I noticed that they had large to-go orders so that's an option. I would recommend this place. read more

The food was bland. The waitress was great. Not what I expected from a "mom & pop" type place.

We love this place and everything is authentic, my favorite lunch item is actually the Philly cheesesteak.

Great food, amazing service, but unfortunately the ambiance could be easily improved with more light. It's so dark, you can't see what you're eating! Ceiling is painted black, the lightbulbs are low wattage, and the blinds are closed. We opened the blinds, but they really need to invest in LED lightbulbs to make it more inviting. The chicken parmesan is my usual order, but the penne isn't cooked in the sauce so it's bland even with the delicious marinara sauce on top. This time I ordered the chicken parmesan sub, and it's delicious. It comes with the most amazing fries. We also ordered a lasagna, which was delicious and came with a salad. Great value for the price, overall highly recommended, and will be visiting again! read more

Spaghetti with meat sauce is wonderful, the shrimp scampi is awesome. I've been twice and the service was the best and the atmosphere is great nice casual dining. Waiting for the next time I go because I'm gonna try to eat something different each time I go. read more

Roma cafe is a quaint little place. The place could use some updating but overall it wasn't bad. Our waitress was amazing! So sweet and attentive. The ac unit started to leak by our table and she moved us to a different one. We got mozzarella sticks and they were decent, the side salad was okay too, there was one black olive which made me laugh. When they brought the bread out and I was suspect but it was really good. Not to heavy, the flavor was strong and the bread was crispy, perfect for dipping. My sister got the chicken Alfredo and the sauce was good but the chicken was not very good. I got the seafood marricotti and it was AMAZING, lots of cheese so there were some leftovers. My husband got the lasagna and it was also splendid. We would definitely go back! read more

Great food and service!!! Sawyer was the best and made sure we had a great experience.

My husband & I love this restaurant! The food is always delicious & hot when it gets to you! The Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken is my favorite. (But, I get it with angel hair pasta.) So good! We ate there last night & AJ was our server. He is terrific! Smiling, nice, attentive & personable. Thank you for another great meal! We'll be back soon! read more

The pasta was so good and the salad was as so crisp and fresh! The service was good too.

One of my favorite places for Italian food. Very reasonably priced, the house wine is great and anything on the menu is delicious. I had the seafood manicotti and it is to die for. We had the sweetest server who was very attentive to our every need. Thank you, Hannah!! You're awesome! read more

We ordered the mozzarella sticks and calamari for appetizers. Both were very good. I would say that the calamari was a little on the salty side, but the red sauce that came with them was on point. The homemade ranch with the salads were delicious as well as the homemade Italian. We ordered the seafood, manicotti, veal, cacciatore kids, spaghetti with meatball and salmon Roma. All were good. The seafood manicotti was super rich as was the salmon Roma pasta. The portions here are large and the food has lots of flavor. Very casual spot with good food. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would !!!! Best food we've probably ever had! Food: came out very fast, even with a busy restaurant. Pasta came with side salads with a dressing of your choice. Spinach dip was DELICIOUS!! My boyfriend got the fettuccine Alfredo and added chicken, I've never seen him so happy with a dish before! I got the baked ziti, and as much as I wanted to eat it all there, I took it home to experience it once more.. it was just that good!! We finished the meal off with the tiramisu, I personally have tried tiramisu a number of times from many places, this is by FAR the absolute BEST!! My boyfriend on the other hand, this was his first try, and he also loved it very very much !! Service: We came around 5:40 on a Saturday night, walked in and got seated! (This may not be an every night, as the restaurant filled up rather quickly after) our waiter made sure to not bug us, but our drinks were always full! Our food came out super quick. He delivered the check right after we ordered our dessert and assured us that there was no rush, but for us to take our time and enjoy. Ambiance: the entire atmosphere was great! Music was at a great volume, the booths are tall abd the structure was set up great, so it never felt like someone was worried about what was happening at your table. Our date was OUR date, that's it. We loved the simple privacy!!! The outside of the restaurant is charming, but they left the true elegance for the inside!! Beautifully setup, but not over the top. We got an appetizer, two entrees, lemonade and tea, dessert, and it all came out to UNDER $60!! Ruby Tuesdays was more expensive, almost $40 more expensive. WILL BE RETURNING!!! read more

Service was great - quick and attentive. Salmon was yummy too. We will be back. Prior to this visit, I had only had carry out and that was nice as well. read more

Food- always good Ambiance- Music (Loud!) Service - okay Staff- all talking to each other, had to catch someone's attention, hostess and server literally looked away from us. I had to wave at them. That's rude. Very disappointed because I use to enjoy it here! read more

Fantastic food and service! Everything was so fresh, service was fast and the waitress was great, especially with kids. Will definitely be back. read more

Roma Cafe is a gem! Great food, good service and an easy going atmosphere. Wife had the Baked Ziti and I had the Lasagna. Both were exceptional. For and appetizer we had the Bruschetta which was full of flavor, perfect start to our meal. For dessert we had the Tiramisu. Perfect ending to a perfect night out with friends!! Thank you Roma Cafe for a great first visit!! read more

Roma Cafe is a charming little restaurant perfect for a relaxed family meal. We got to sit outside on the patio, and the string lights made for a nice atmosphere. Our waitress (I don't remember her name but she had a Pikachu mask on) was wonderful! One thing I especially enjoyed about the menu options were the different sauces, and the ability to switch them out on whatever dish you chose. I got the Eggplant Parm. The eggplant was sliced super thin, and unfortunately the edges got burnt to a crisp, but it was still tasty! The sauce stole the show for sure. So, all in all, not the best Eggplant Parm I've had, but I'd return to Roma's to try something else from the menu because the other meals around the table looked suuuper tasty. read more

I love the Roma cafe. One of my favorite restaurants in Mobile. I love all their Italian cuisine but I also love the Philly Cheese po boy, it's fantastic. Wonderful customer service. I have recommended this place to all my family and friends. Enjoy ...... read more

The shrimp scampi appetizer was great. We dipped our garlic until the platter was cleaned. For entrees we went with meat lasagna, ziti, and parmesan talipia de roma. All 3 dishes were exceptionally delicious. The only short coming was they were out of desserts. But in fairness we arrived 1 hour prior to closing on Fathers day. Looking forward to a return visit!!! read more

The location is a bit odd (run down strip mall), but don't let that detour you! We went early on a Friday night and still had to wait 45 minutes, this place is that popular. The staff is friendly, warm and anxious to please. I ordered the Seafood Manicotti and it was divine. Big tasty Gulf shrimp, tender manicotti and the sauce, oh the sauce. I asked for a spoon! I could only eat half of the rich wonderful dish. My husband had Meat Lasagna and he was equally as pleased. We finished our meal with the Italian Cream Cake and their house made strawberry sauce - oh yum! We are looking forward to going back. read more

This was our first time at Roma Cafe. Sunday after church and we were lucky to get in before the rush. We ordered our food and immediately got a basketful of fresh hot garlic bread...it was awesome! My wife wanted a pizza but was on the adult menu but was on the kids. It was a personal pepperoni pizza that was cooked to perfection. My food was hot and fresh also. Our waiter was excellent whose customer service skills were five star. The atmosphere was quaint and intimate what I expected for a local business....very clean, including the restroom and plenty of staff hustling to get orders out and moving customers in and out. Will definitely be my go to spot for good Italian food and incredible service. read more

I really love the food and the stuff here so nice and gave everyone their food, correct and I will recommend this place to anyone 10/10

Delicious, large portions of food. We were able to stretch our meals out for several meals. I got the eggplant Parm and my bf got the meat lasagna. The eggplant Parm was done really well in thin layers similar to a lasagna. Bf thought there could have been a little less mozzarella but he still enjoyed the meal. The pasta could have been slightly less cooked (Al dente) but overall very satisfied. Staff was friendly. read more
