We had a group of friends go to Roma's after a nearby funeral for one of our beloved friends. Our group of 20 was seated in a comfortable private room in the back It was on Saturday at noon, so we were hungry. Those hunger pains melted after we are our first dinner roll. This bread was hot with crunchy crust. The served it with REAL butter. For our meal, my hubby and I split a 16" pizza. Crust was my favorite part. What was extra special was it only took about 1 1/2 hours. read more

So enjoyed this place! Went on a rec while in town. It was suggested we try the chef's special as it is always good. It did not disappoint. We started with the caprese Mozzarella. Interesting take, usual caprese but they added capers and bell pepper. Different, but good. The special of the day was a steak with penne in a cream sauce with tomatoes and mushrooms. The steak was not a terrific cut but the steak had a great flavor as prepared and the pasta was amazing!!! I'm gluten free and they were able to accommodate with a GF penned. Enjoed everything with a nice glass of chianti. Our waiter was great! We definitely plan to visit again. read more

Food was good but not as good as I hoped. Ambiance was inviting. We travel a lot so lots of restaurants to compare. I would go back, but I think the cook needs to try Olive Garden. A hometown restaurant should be so much better than franchise food and this wasn't. read more

It was good but not necessarily worth the drive from Benton! Sauces were good, portions generous-just a B to me though rather than an A!

We drove from Texas for the main to main sale. We had dinner here Thursday night. The bread was great. The veal Marsala was awful, and cold in spots. The beef lasagna was very good, but they served it to me in a broken chipped burned bowl that should have honestly been thrown away. My husband and I ended up splitting the lasagna because his Marsala was awful. Our waitress never came back to fill our drinks until we were ready to walk out the door, so we couldn't have complained if we wanted to. We were standing up at our table, in hopes she would bring us our ticket because she hadn't been back the entire meal. The cake we got Togo looked and tasted like it was frozen or store bought. Definitely won't be back, but hope they will consider throwing out those awful bowls, as germs and bacteria like to hide in chipped and broken dishes. Was hoping for better honestly.I do not like leaving bad reviews but felt this one was warranted especially since it wasn't very busy this night. read more

Food is pretty good. I had the cheese ravioli and my husband had the wings. My daughter enjoyed the spaghetti and meat balls. Service was great as we had a large crowd with us. Definitely will go again. read more

What a find in a small town! We went there two nights in a row! The service from Stone in the dining room and then Ella in the bar area was spectacular! They made us all feel great! The first night was a big table of 15 in the dining room and then the 2nd just 4 at a table in the bar.... still they did fantastic both nights!!! Everyone loved the food, especially the sauces! The 'pink sauce' is incredible! Extremely well done with a hint of spice! I could eat cardboard with that sauce!, but trust the veal(the chef cooked it perfectly)! Nice wine list and really good drinks! The appetizers and hot bread were tasty, but save room for the entrees! Definitely worth the drive to Minden!!! read more

First thing is the lemon cello was damn good. The food is very good. Service was good. Very nice atmosphere and the place is super clean. The table had a wobble but overall, when I am in the area I would eat here again. The lobster ravioli is better than when I had it in New York Italian district. read more

The service here is amazing! I can't say enough about the food! It's always superb! I have a smile every time I leave!!!!

Roma Italian Bistro is a hidden gem in this small town. I enjoyed eating lunch with my family at this restaurant. It's cozy and I love the lighting. They have great customer service and the food is delicious. If you're ever in Minden, I recommend you give them a try, and if you live in the area, you should've already eaten here.... The picture that I took of the pasta is poor quality but the meal was good. read more

I like Roma's I've almost always enjoyed the Food. I will say though, the past month or two (as of 1/12/24) it has tasted different the two times I got it, could've just been that night. I really don't know but it's almost like they used a different recipe or maybe they are getting their ingredients from a different place, now it's not an overwhelming difference but there definitely is something different and I don't personally enjoy it, I think one key thing is that there's sauce used to be sweeter and now it's a little more on the salty side so maybe that's it. Now personally, I typically order mine to go, but I've never had a problem with service. They are always very respectful. I've only ever eaten in the restaurant once, and I would say I did enjoy the ambience. The mood of the restaurant and the vibe and energy of the restaurant match the food great and it is a lovely experience. The only reason that I'm taking off one star is because, the last 2 times that I went it has taken a rather long time, I would say somewhere around a 45 minute wait for two chicken parms with spaghetti, I am kind of just chucking that up to new ownership or management, because I am aware that the previous owner has passed away recently and I'm sure things have changed because of the passing. read more

Recommended by the Desk Clerk at our motel on the Interstate. Sweet little Italian place in a 100+ year old bank building, very cute! All the food that went by me while waiting for my carry out seemed and smelled wonderful! My Shrimp Scampi was delicious, my wife's gluten free pepperoni pizza was excellent! One type of gluten free pasta is also available. Friendly staff. read more

We absolutely love coming here for date night because it's great food and often a great atmosphere. The bread is so good and I love how many choices they have! The tables, plates, and utensils are sometimes spotty/not quite clean, but they are accommodating when the issue arises. read more

First customer of the day on a Saturday at lunch. Staff was friendly. Service was okay, took 45 minutes to get food. Waiter got our order wrong but made it right when he handed us the check. The ambiance was alright. read more

Food is delicious! Roma is one of our favorite restaurants in town. The rolls are the best!

The best itialian food around town...it's also the only itialian food around town. Roma is always great. They have great bread that they bring with your drinks. The price has gotten steep...but what hasn't lately. You will enjoy the food! read more

I can't believe this place is in Minden Louisiana! Just went for the first time and was blown away impressed. Beautiful décor in historic location, large number of attentive staff, cohesive but large menu (one of those where you want to try nearly everything), great food and reasonable prices. Seriously impressed with the staff.....somebody has made a very conscious decision not to skimp on service! There must have been 20 or more people working in there are all well qualified and busy. Excellent service! I had the pizza and it was perfect. Others at table had veal and chicken pasta dishes. Their bread and vodka sauce is highly craveable! I would highly recommend this place and feel so lucky to have it in a small town like Minden. read more

First time here and I am shocked at how good the food is. Alfredo, pizza, Greek salad, calzones, chicken Parmesan, tortellini, all delicious. The house dressing is insane good. I would go back just for the dressing. Our server seemed a bit rushed but what the service lacks, the food makes up for. The restaurant is nice and clean and the room with the bar is comfy and felt appropriate for kids. We have been living nearby for a couple of years and always complaining about no good dinner restaurants. This one is a keeper for sure. We will be back. Also have to mention THE BREAD+REAL BUTTER on the tables is 10/10 good. You must go if for no other reason then to smear some butter on their hot bread. read more

I gave this dump one star because zero wasn't an option. Nothing wrong with the food, really, but the waitstaff is surly, slow, and filthy. read more

Everything was amazing!! My sweet waitress Ella G, was so sweet and courteous!!! The food was amazing. My waitress made sure to give me her advice on what to order and was just great!!!! read more

Fantastic Italian food. I travel for work across the US, Canada and the Caribbean and I have eaten at many Italian restaurants and Bistros. Roma's food is, by far, some of the best I have had in 30+ years. And I had it delivered by Door Dash. Next time I will visit the establishment. We'll done Roma! read more

Would love either shift manager or GM/owner to get in touch with me. Service was friendly enough but dishes left something to be desired. We had sample appetizer, eggplant parm and veal w/capers and lemon/wine sauce. As stated above, I'd love to provide constrictive advice without beating up the restaurant on public forum. Thank you. read more

I hesitate giving Romas a low score even because I always hear such great things. I finally ordered one of their pizzas for the first time and was very very dissapointed. I ordered the chicken spinach Alfredo pizza and a BBQ chicken pizza. The ONLY thing that had ANY kind of seasoning/flavor was the BBQ sauce. And I assume that's only the case because it's probably a prepackaged/bottled sauce. Alfredo sauce may as well have been thickened milk. When I say 0 flavor I am not exaggerating I promise. I felt the sauce in my mouth and yet tasted nothing. I LOVE chicken. I LIVE for chicken. So I pluck a nice big piece of chicken of of my pizza to see if it's just the sauce. No. The blandest looking and tasting chicken. No joke I couldn't even taste salt or pepper on it. My SO picked a piece of chicken off his BBQ pizza and it was the same. So they just don't know how to season chicken. Or sauce. AND THEN I'm like ok there's no way I've heard all these praises for this place and this is what they serve. Let me atleast try the crust. Maybe by the grace of God I can atlaast enjoy the crust off of all the slices because I do love bread. Lol pero no. 0 flavor. This pizza was literally thickened milk and naked chicken baked on to cardboard. I honestly have no intentions of going back in the near future if at all because I was so dissapointed. If I had found ONE saving grace I would've given them the benefit of the doubt or at least tried to. But the whole thing was very dissapointing and unappetizing. I worked in pizza for about 4 years and never got tired of it. I love pizza so much, I could eat it everyday. So finally getting to try one of the "best" pizzas in minden...no. And that's just the food. Service was lackluster but I've worked in food before so I kind of get it but i also don't. The customer that passed me on his way out was friendlier than the worker. read more

Here now!! Felt very very rushed. My waitress Kayla asked what I would like to drink. She brought water and asked if I was ready to order. I ordered my appetizer first. Mushrooms were great! I ordered my entree when mushrooms came after she kept asking me if I was ready. I felt rushed and just ordered. I had taken one bite out of my mushroom and here comes my entree. I asked her to please place under heat lamp. About 3 minutes later a guy comes and brings me the same entree. Not sure if she had somewhere to be or not. Alfredo was bland. Again mushrooms were great and bread delicious. Would try again but order something else and ask not to be rushed. Kayla was nice just needs some training on reading customers read more

We went here today for lunch. There's was two tables taken in the whole place. We waited and waited, servers would walk by and look at us. Every damn server in the place knew we were standing at the door and NO ONE offered a table. Management needs to know how their establishment is being run. Baked Ziti read more

Great pizza. Tons of toppings with a nice crust and just the right amount of cheese. We really enjoyed our 12" with Canadian bacon, mushrooms, onions and red pepper. read more

Roma Italian Bistro - Pizza! - Italian Near Me - Minden, Louisiana

Needless to say, the chicken piccata and bread are absolutely delicious. True Italian food and a good place to visit with family and friends.

I'd like to try the one in Shreveport if I ever have to go there anyway and I need a quick bite. read more

This is great restaurant inside a remodeled historic bank building that is very nice. The food is great and I've had several dishes so far. The shrimp or chicken fettuccine Alfredo is great. The chicken Marsala is also good. The service has also been good. Extra parking is just across the street. read more

The food is good, The fettuccine Alfredo is outstanding but the shrimp scampi Lemon is way overdone and the garlic on the dish was overly sautéed and had a very bitter taste. The server this trip was much better and even knew how to present the bottle of wine. The restaurant located on Main in the historic district is in a great old building that at one time was a bank. read more
