We attended a private party here with the bar area reserved. The restaurant is a good size but for a Saturday evening it wasn't busy at all and isn't in the best part of town, honestly. The service was very good, though, and they aren't stingy when pouring their bar drinks. read more

Roma Italian Kitchen & Bar - Italian Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Date Night? Family Dinner? Quiet Meal For One? Roma is the answer! We have enjoyed many meals at this establishment. The environment is a quaint, hidden gem in Tyler. The staff is kind and attentive and the food is always delicious. If JR is your server, you are in good hands! The restaurant could probably use some updating, but part of the charm is the appearance. Give Roma a try for your next Italian meal and I'm sure you'll be glad you did! read more

I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, and I won't lie to you. the is only a half once of sauce in the plate. the flavor was lacking beyond bland. I would love to support this family business, but please be a little bit better on the ingredients. All the best Roma read more

I had a pepperoni, spinach, mushroom calzone, and it was excellent. My husband had the Rigatoni Special he said it was great! The service was excellent as well. Atmosphere was very inviting. read more

Found this place by accident, but love it so much that I will definitely be back. My new go to for pizza, calzone, Stromboli and sausage with sauce/bread. Oh let's talk about the bread!!! It's to die for 100%!!! Great service to top it off as well. read more

Service was great,reasonable price,and cool ambiance too..!! The appetizer was great,and our server was nice too

I have eaten at this location twice too many times. The food has NO FLAVOR! It's disgusting at best and we will not be back. The last time I was there was March 1, 2025. read more

Once again food was amazing. Roma's starts you off with bread with oil and seasonings on the side. This time we ordered the mediterranean chicken salad and meat lovers pizza. We even enjoy the crust on our pizza. The ambiance is more low key with background music. Here on a Tuesday night so not so busy. Servers give the right amount of time for checking up on us. We would have loved it to have the salad before the pizza, so next time we will ask for it this way (only way I get the hubby to eat rabbit food ) prices are great, food is great and service is great. Definitely coming back as it's one of my favorite restaurants in Tyler. read more

Came here as part of wedding rehearsal dinner . After 6pm we got orders taken. Food took a long time and restaurant was busy. Probably waited 30+ minutes which for the ppl made sense. My order was forgotten (previously had to re ask for my water so maybe I was in an ordering blind spot). Waitress with dark hair said they had made it but forgotten to throw it in the oven. She apologized profusely and said I could ask for a dessert when I left and the food would be out in 10 minutes. 20+ minutes later my food came out. When it did I said hey could I know what desserts were available since I intended to take her up on earlier offer. She then said it wasn't on the menu. My table of 6 people were shocked and was stunned. They couldn't believe that she basically said nvm. It was even pointed out by my group that they had a fridge full of desserts when we left the front. Food was ok when I got it. Nothing horrible, but it wasn't great (especially portion size). Some of this may be my fault bc I drove 5+ hours and didn't stop for lunch to make sure I could be there at the time my gf needed for rehearsal, but all this to say ok food and a personally horrific service experience. read more

The food was pretty much a 3/10 for me. The pasta was cooked well but the food is not well seasoned. The bread was almost like paper or cardboard but I liked the olive oil dip. The bathroom was FREEZING COLD please fix that. and besides that it was a nice pretty place. Oh and service was great! read more

We had the pasta combo and Stromboli; both excellent and the service was great. We took a half meat lovers, half Margherita pizza home and enjoyed it for dinner. We'll be back. read more

Working late as always, walked from the hotel for a chicken place but they closed at 7pm, bummer, scanned the parking lot for another place that would serve food, and that's how I found Roma's Italian Kitchen. The atmosphere - relaxing = dim lights/soft music, the service - one of the best I've reserved, even though it was her 1st day on the job. The food? If you like Italian food like I do, shrimp, pasta, muscles, this is the right place for you! I couldn't eat muscles since I got food poisoning back in Boston, but this place got me back on track for my love for seafood! I would definitely return if I've EVER back in Tyler, TX read more

We went to Roma's last night for the first time and let me just start off by saying this is literally the best Italian food in Tyler. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. Their portion sizes are very generous for the price and their sauces are amazing. My boyfriend got the lobster ravioli and he was amazed at how big the lobster pieces were. I got the cheese tortellini in pink sauce and it was a basic dish but so delicious. The cheese was so creamy and the pink sauce was amazing. We also had calamari to share and it was a pretty big plate! Definitely recommend coming here. The restaurant is very pretty and spacious inside. I hope this place stays in Tyler and gets the recognition it deserves. If it says anything, we're going back again for dinner tonight. read more

I think their food isn't bad! It's pretty good but definitely think places like Olive Garden or Olivetos is better. It can also be so loud in the Roma restaurant which isn't as common in these other restaurants I've listed. It's a nice place though and has good service so I'd still recommend it. read more

Tried Roma's Italian Kitchen to day for the first time it was great tried the calamari was pretty good tried a pizza as an appetizer really enjoyed that perfect balance in my opinion the best thing was crossing off a bucket list item Black ink linguine with shrimp clams muscles and calamari Don't remember the sauce but it was a lite buttery sauce and ended it with a limoncelli cake really enjoyed will be back got it delivered so can't say much about actual physical location lol read more

This place has gone downhill since opening. I used to get their pizza to-go quite regularly. It was always serviceable. Not the best in town, but definitely not the worst. We never dined in until recently and it was bad - real bad. The waitress was good, but the food was just, well, bad. The seafood smelled old and tainted, the salad was brown, the pasta was a mix of al dente and slimy, and my ravioli must've been microwaved- definitely not fresh. I won't be back. read more

I will rate this based on what we ordered - Chicken Alfredo 2 stars - Bland seasoning and chicken was inedible. Dry, no flavor. How hard is it to cook chicken?? I make chicken all the time and it is 100 times better than theirs! Breadsticks were hard and terrible! 1 star. Pizza was great! 5 stars! Lasagna was also excellent! 5 stars! Stromboli was very good with not too much breading. 5 stars! Italian sausage side dish was very good! 4 stars! So, I would recommend NO chicken dishes but everything else is very good! read more

Great food and service. The restaurant was very well staffed and the owner walks around checking the customers

Best Italian Restaurant in Tyler. The owners are the real deal. Food is amazing, drinks and Bar are limitless. Care taken in every dish prepared and waitstaff is spot on. I highly encourage anyone looking for great food In Tyler to come by an partake of the gem that Roma is... read more

After receiving a disappointing order I was very impressed on how this restaurant rectified the problem by delivering me another salad free of charge to my office from the owner himself! This is a good establishment that values customer satisfaction, and the food is delicious! read more

I did my rounds of Tyler... Trying all the spaghetti and meatballs around town... And I'm back here at Roma's, eating the best spaghetti meatballs in town... Oh, the sauce oh... Oh, the meatballs!!! And... And... I'm sitting at the bar with a nice glass of Chianti, my pasta... remembering Tuscany while I eat Heaven's bounty! read more

I like the food and the atmosphere its a little pricy but good food and nice staff. Felt like they wanted to be there.

This is, by the absolute widest margin, the best authentic Italian restaurant in East Texas. The food is the star of the show despite the fantastic service and atmosphere. I simply cannot recommend this place enough. The pasta combo is excellent. The calamari is on point and the tiramisu is slap grandma good. Bring your date here and you'll score... guaranteed! read more

When we walked in it seemed pretty slow but the atmosphere was great and the restaurant was clean. We were greeted and seated promptly, our waitress took our drink order and shortly later we ordered out food. Two large tables came in shortly after that, it took awhile for our waitress to come back refill our drinks, which is completely understandable with how busy they had gotten. I ordered the chicken Alfredo, 15.95$ it was inedible. I believe the Stauffers microwavable version is better then the bland sauce and sorry slimy chicken that was sliced into little thin squares I was served. I could not eat it, I told our waitress as much, I took my toddler outside while my partner paid, he was informed the owner was there and didn't want to give a refund which is fine but really poor customer service. read more

Hmmmm. Went in with nostalgic desire for chicken parm, something that I grew up with in the Midwest. It was maybe a little tough, but overall I wasn't disappointed. Server came attached with invasive cigarette whiff. I get it. I used to work in restaurants and ciggies used to get me through a shift but don't bring it to the table plz. Wife ordered the Margherita pizza. When it came to the table, we were informed the kitchen was out of basil. So she got a cheese and tomato pizza. Is it just me, or if the kitchen at an Italian restaurant is out of basil, you take the Margherita pizza off the menu? Despite missing one of the critical three ingredients, it was really delicious. Seriously. Not a Margherita, but still really good. I guess these are minor nitpicks, but at the appearance and price, I don't want to have to ask for silverware or refills. If I'm at Wendy's, I'll totally refill my own drinks. For that pizza, we'll probably give it another shot though. read more

Everything was delicious! Great bread, pasta, and house wine! Our server was friendly and took great care of us. I had the chicken Carciofi and it was delicious! Love the pink sauce! read more

Excellent food and service, never disappointed, our go-to place, atmosphere is very nice with piano

I am sorry to say that I am really not impressed. My husband and I walked in on 5/21/21 and was seated at a table in the upper area. Before us several other people walked in approximately the same time. No server ever greeted us. We sat there for 15 minutes watching everyone that walked in about the same time we did be greeted, served water and bread and their orders taken. We sat there waiting. The young man that seemed to be the server for our area took care of 3 tables, cleared one table took care of a check and floated off to never be seen again. The whole time we sat there. Obviously we were either invisible or not suited to be served. We understand that acquiring good help is difficult since you can make more money sitting at home on unemployment. It still doesn't give anyone the right to ignore customers. As we walked out we were thanked for our business yet we never even served a glass of water. I let the person know that thanked us for our patronage that it would have been really nice if we had been served. Instead of apologizing or at least make an attempt to right this incident we were allowed to walk out. Poor management of the establishment. I sure hope this gets taken care of because the food that we saw served looked great. To the server who made the decision to make us invisible, I tend to tip very well. Usually between $15 to $30 who take care of me. We may not have been dressed extremely well and we were a bit rain soaked but our money is as good as anyone else's. 4 read more

I have eaten here numerous times and each time has been a delight. The atmosphere, customer service and food has always been very good. I have always been greeted at the door by the owner or manager which makes me and those that accompany me feel welcomed. The food is fresh and the drinks are outstanding. They have a bar section and the restaurant has a separate area which can be reserved for large groups or party gatherings. read more

Z and Lobby are awesome owners, absolutely the best Italian in ETX, growing up near Italy they know how to make everything from scratch... nothing compares! read more

The Service was great, but the food was not that great it was ok. I got the shrimp scampi, it did not have that much flavor. The Jalapeno poppers were old. The fetuccin pasta was ok. read more

Service was super slow, and they weren't that full. Ordered penne pasta instead of spaghetti pasta, and yet got spaghetti. Chicken francais was flavorless. Bread was good. Meh. Probably won't go back. read more

The margherita pizza was great. A great balance between a great crust, roma tomatoes, sauce and lots fresh basil. The small (12") was very good size. Could be shared between 2 people. Our service was excellent also. read more

Excellent food...Excellent service...Excellent amount of servings for the cost. The absolute BEST Italian in Tyler....Don't even mess with any of the others...This restaurant knows how Italian sauces are supposed to taste! This restaurant is about 'customer satisfaction'. ...and during this time of difficult financial times, restaurants are having tough times surviving...so make it a habit to have the BEST Italian dinner at least once a week and help this neighborhood, Tyler, independent owner be able to keep its doors open! Many blessings of success to Roma's! read more

This place gets high marks across the board in my book! I took my family here for lunch on a Friday. I had the pasta combo, my wife had chicken primavera, and my kids split a Stromboli. The food tasted excellent! The service was fast, on point, professional yet friendly, and not in your face all the time. I really loved their house dressing for the salad! My wife mentioned numerous times how much she loved the seasoned olive oil that they provide to dip your bread in (and their bread is clearly baked in-house by the way). Their atmosphere was perfect, classy, but also casual enough. Their music wasn't too loud, and was enjoyable. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other entree's! The only negative I can think to add is that they could stand to pick up all the cigarette butts that are lying amongst their lawn/landscaping near the entrance. That would be nice. read more

One of the best places in town, good food and quiet atmosphere. Service very attentive and spot on! Always good food and have not had anything we didn't like! We and and will return! read more
