    I've always passed by this restaurant on my way home, as I live in the area, and I finally had the opportunity to dine here and it was great! Our server was kind, friendly, and very patient with us. When our food came out, everything we ordered passed my expectations and was delicious! The environment felt very homey and cozy and the chandeliers illuminated the place. Will definitely be coming back!

    Ina Garten's fennel and sausage rigatoni is my go to pre marathon dinner- if it's a marathon I'm not traveling for. This isn't exactly a home town marathon because I am not from Dallas but I am currently residing here so I suppose in that aspect, it was a home town marathon since my kitchen is in close proximity. Bestie flew into town to support me along the course but we decided to not make my go to dinner and go out to grab dinner to save time. I selected Roman Cucina. We drove over and had about a 30min wait on a Saturday evening. This provided time for me to quickly study the course and elevation chart before being shown to our table. The dining room was really cute! We had a table for two near the bar and I like that they have several TVs in the restaurant. I ordered the shrimp scampi and bff ordered a sausage lasagna (which he later said mine is better than, I do make a really exceptional meat lasagna with beef + sausage). My shrimp scampi was very yummy! I was eyeing the pesto pasta and I'm glad the server mentioned it was a bit heavier. I could only finish half of my shrimp scampi following the yummy dinner salads that accompanied both of our entrees. I decided to forego alcohol with dinner since we'd had a boozy brunch and I had a glass of prosecco while out holiday shopping so it was time to play the hydration game if I wanted to execute a marathon in the morning. The cannoli I ordered to go, was also quite tasty - I devoured about half of it before bed for a little sweet treat. We had our leftovers days later and they were still yummy. I'd definitely return here in the future. I later texted my brother to let him know this is spot is practically around the corner from him and my sister in law, in case they feel inclined to grab Italian for dinner. Service was great!

    The best Italian restaurant in town. Their food is amazing, the service is awesome and the restaurant decor is excellent. They have the best cannolis & their pasta taste fresh & authentic. Don't forget to try the Wedding soup!

    Great spot. Usually a short wait since it's popular, but the bar is a good place to hang out. Awesome vibe, seriously a great ambiance. Everything on the menu is tasty. Service is solid. Definitely worth a visit.

    Solid spot for Italian food in Allen! There may be a long wait on weekend nights (we previously tried to go on a Friday evening and it was a crazy long line), but weekdays are a good bet for no crowds (we went on a Monday this time). The ambiance inside is nice, making this a good place for date night or a meal with family / friends. We started out with the calamari fritti for our appetizer, and it was super tasty paired with the calamari sauce. For the main entree, I got their pasta special at the time which was cavatelli with shrimp, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes in a cream sauce. Everything about this pasta was absolutely delightful -- the pasta itself was cooked perfectly and the sauce + everything else worked well together. My fiance got the sausage lasagna and this turned out to be the big miss of the night... It was way too salty and we found it difficult to finish all of it. To close out our meal, we shared the cannoli for dessert which was just fantastic. The shell was crisp, and the inside filling along with all of the chocolate chips was delicious!

    We enjoyed both specials this evening, Salmon w artichoke and sun dried tomatoes in Lemon Sauce and the Mushroom stuffed ravioli with peas and ground meat. Both were delicious, the dinner salads were very tasty and the service was on spot. Very attentive and great team work.

    A short wait on a Friday night but well worth it. It feels authentically Italian and the food is delicious. Everything on the menu looks great so lots to try on return visits!

    How do I order food to-go? The number is constantly busy and says "User Busy."

    Sorry we had a power outage tonight and our point of sale system is down causing major issues. We apologize for any inconvenience

    Gluten free pasta or pizza?

    Yes we have GF pizza and pasta. Ask your server for a gluten free menu.

    Does this place accept reservations?

    We accept reservations for groups of 6 or more only Sunday thru Thursday (Some holidays excluded). On Fridays and Saturday’s we do not take reservations, we seat all guests in the order of arrival.

    Are you guys open? The phone has been busy the last two times I have tried to order...for over 20 minutes at a time before giving up?

    Should try the right phone number in future.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

    My wife and I went here for our Valentine's date. Its a cute neighborhood Italian restaurant that…read moreserves food that's much better than you have a right to expect in a suburban mall. The house Manhatten was delicious with subtle adjustments to the traditional recipe. The Arancina Tradizionale is a fried ball of tasty saffron rice, stuffed with Bolognese and peas. Its a great appetizer with lots of subtle flavors. As an entree I had the Cacio E Pepe, the famous pasta prepared in a wheel of pecorino cheese and covered in fresh ground black pepper. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the cheese was creamy and mild, and the pepper nicely balanced the richness with a mild spice. I ordered shrimp on the side and it was well seasoned and nicely charred. My wife had the geilled salmon and loved it. We didn't really have room for dessert, but since everything else was so good, we couldn't resist trying the Tiramisu and Strawberry panna cotta. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. Be prepared for European style service and you will leave satisfied.

    Tried this place for the first time over the weekend, and we really enjoyed our first visits. We…read morewere able to get seated right away and our waiter was very friendly. The menu I think had a good variety of entrees to choose from, and we both ended really liking the dishes we ordered. I ordered the pasta bolognese, and it was great. The pasta was cooked right and the sauce not super over powering. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. My only complaint was that seating is a little cramped, and everyone including the restaurant staff had to maneuver around chairs, etc. but other than that we really enjoyed our visit.
