    Meat Lasagna Angel hair Alfredo with fried chick breast
    Maris G.

    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. The ambience is very nice and everything came in a very timely manner. We will most definitely be back. We had the bruschetta, house & Caesar salad & lasagna & fried chicken Alfredo with angel hair. We ordered cannolis for Togo dessert thank you so much to Roma & Hannah for making our night wonderful

    Lasagna
    Amy W.

    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

    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

    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.

    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!

    Chicken Parmesan Sub

    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!

    Mozzarella sticks and my sis
    Taylor P.

    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!

    Absolutely amazing food, and service! The owners are the original owners of Roma's…read more I am so addicted to their creamy seafood sauce, they have our loyalty forever! They are also incredibly accommodating when I have asked for substitutions, ie. Using the creamy seafood sauce on an order of shrimp scampi, my all time favorite! Their in-house made dressing, I could drink straight from the bottle, and salads are always fresh, cold, and crisp. Their tiramisu, oh my goodness, don't get me started .... but, a hot cup of fresh coffee to sip with it is the cherry on top!!!!!!!!

    I have been writing reviews for Yelp for many years. I write good reviews for most restaurants I…read morevisit and I have written some bad reviews for places I felt did a disservice to the restaurant going community at large. But, I have NEVER had the opportunity to write a review for a restaurant that completely blew me away, like the restaurant we visited last evening. I need to go back and subtract a star from every restaurant I've reviewed in the past! (Hyperbole) A guy I don't know, on Facebook, highly recommended this Italian Restaurant. We have had our own favorite Italian restaurant that we have loved for more than 10 years (Petrella's, in Cantonment). So, we tried Bella Italia, expecting to be able to go back and tell the guy "our favorite Italian restaurant is better than yours." No such luck. From the moment we walked into Bella Italia, we knew we were onto something, starting with the sincere way we were greeted. Our waitress talked to us like family - telling us about the chef/owner and how he cooks everything from scratch and how he sourced many of his high end ingredients directly from Italy. (And huge, fresh shrimp from our local waters.) The Tiramisu is flown in from New York. The food was amazing. Our waitress brought us out a complimentary appetizer that was so simple - some Italian bread, lightly buttered and seasoned, with some large flakes of parmesan, and a small bowl of dipping sauce that consisted of ranch dressing thickened with cucumber, dill and some other tasty ingredients. Wow! I ordered a Salmon dish that rested on a bed of house made angel hair pasta and covered with a delicious house Alfredo sauce and wifey ordered a shrimp dish that consisted of some HUGE gulf shrimp on top of some cheese ravioli. Both dishes were served with hot garlic bread and everything was outstanding. Portion size was very generous, too. For dessert, we chose the Lemon Italian cream cake. It was very light and refreshing and we were pleased with the finale of our dining experience. If you're reading this review and shopping/evaluating which Italian restaurant to try out next. PLEASE GO HERE. You will not be disappointed. This is my new favorite restaurant and it will probably be yours, too!

    Being an experienced food delivery person, I get all over the county, and I love to try new places…read more Out in West Mobile, you'll find this gem, Joe's Pizza and Pasta, a cute little store front location, where you'll find some of the best food in town, served up by a friendly and fantastic crew! It is as close to lunch time, so I went with the lunch special, where I chose 2 fresh slices of pepperoni and sausage pizza, and a drink for 9 bucks! It's a pretty good deal! They got my order ready to go pretty quickly, and I took it to my car, since the place is small and they have no dine in seating. While I was waiting, a lady came in and picked up an enormous pizza, bigger than you'll find at any chain restaurant. It was so large, she had to put the seats down in the back of her SUV to fit it in the hatch. But enough about that. Let's get to the main event! That pizza was pretty amazing! The crust was golden and crispy on the outside, yet soft and pillowy on the inside. The sauce, which I believe is made in house, was sufficiently tangy and tasted very fresh. The pepperoni was cooked crisp and wasn't overly greasy and the sausage had a great, robust flavor that was the star of the show. This is everything I love about a great pizza, and it's local, so that's just one more praise to sing about it! I paired it with a bottle of Coke, which absolutely was perfect with this pizza. So if you're out in West Mobile, this little place is worth a stop. Grab a slice, or a pie for the entire family. It does not disappoint. They also have pasta on their menu, which gives me a reason to go back and try something else!

    Absolutely blown away by the amount of pizza for the price.

Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Timing on the food was spot on. For entrées, the chicken marsala was rich, savory, and full of flavor it was easily a highlight. My husband's steak and shrimp was also very well prepared and equally enjoyable. Overall, Gambino's delivers a great combination of atmosphere, service, and satisfying Italian comfort food. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and look forward to visiting again.
