We were in town for the marathon and needed carbo loading. It's pretty big so they are able to accommodate a lot of people. They offer bread. It isn't warm but have a good oil on the side. I ordered the lasagna which was fine. Very typical and large, so I took some home. The bruschetta was the same bread they offered with mozzarella, chopped tomatoes, and balsamic on top. Again, it's fine. Overall, it does the job if you're looking for carbs. read more

Had a great dinner at Roma's! They have a good selection of appetizers, pasta dishes, and alcoholic drinks. The calamari is a must, it came out perfectly fried and tasted fresh. The sweet chili aioli is my favorite dip for the calamari. Every main dish comes with a side salad, or you can substitute soup for $2 extra. The food is well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Their sangria is delicious, perfectly sweet and refreshing. There is a deal for Wine Wednesdays. You get 50% of bottles or 25% off for 5oz and 8oz pours. Despite going there on a weekday for a late dinner, there was still quite a long wait. Our server was very nice, though. read more

Decent spot for Italian food--more elevated than Olive Garden. A few dishes were a bit bland, so I added Tabasco and red pepper flakes. If you get takeout, finish it the same day, as it doesn't taste as good reheated. This place has the best bruschetta in all of Erie--you can't miss it! It's also a great spot for a large group or family dinner. read more

Made a 4 o'clock reservation was greeted with a smile and a very cheerful hostess who seated us promptly. Ordered a bottle of Remembrane Ridge wine, (pinot noir) very good and I recommend it. Very polite and very informative waiter (Adam) was on top of his game. The first time we were here we ordered apps and couldn't finish our meal so we opted out. They were incredibly good. We ordered salads that were fresh and crispy. We settled for the trio and it was excellent. The lasagna was perfect. The spaghetti and meatball was a meal in itself. And followed by a very tasty fettuccine alfredo We had a tiramisu for dessert. While we were just finishing our Italian feast we had the pleasure of meeting the chef, Scott who was very nice and friendly. The restaurant manager Megan, was very inviting and a great conversational person with a focus on retaining the dining experience. Glad we returned and we will be back. What an asset to the city of Erie read more

Excellent food, great wait staff and beautiful space! Will be going back many times... Hope to go soon :) read more

Friend and I were visiting the area and stopped for dinner on a Saturday. Did not have a reservation but was able to get a table within 10 minutes. We had the chicken parmigiana and Nona's meatballs which were absolutely amazing, sitting on top of whipped ricotta and drizzled with olive oil. Our server Jana really made us feel like we were visiting her home, explained their special and even gave us recommendations for wineries and parks in the area. I would definitely try this if you are deciding to visit Erie. read more

During our first visit to Roma's we found the food and service to be very good. We ordered the Ragu with beef and the Trio, both tasty and hot. The bread was served with a strange compote that I didn't like. I think olive oil and seasonings are better and should be offered as an alternative. Make reservations, the place was busy. read more

The service was awful and the server never cleared any dishes from the small table. They were out of their special and the food was way over priced and just ok, nothing to rave about. This was our first experience and we will never go there again. I didn't want to give it any stars. read more

Romas tastes just like Chef Boy Ar Dee. Nice huge empty atmosphere like a fire hall. The service was very. read more

This restaurant is one of the best restaurants to go to since the whole staff from when you're greeted to the end are all friendly and catering. We had a great server. The food was very good as always. The place is always packed. I had a special request and Nick Jr. one of the owners accommodated my request and went above and beyond. If you have never been here, I highly encourage you to visit. read more

Last evening we treated our friend, Fawn to dinner for her birthday. First experience @ Roma's for Fawn. She was as pleased as we always are with our helpful and knowledgeable-of-the-menu server, Adam; we delighted in the beautiful and delish soft bread and dipping oil. Of course, our entrees were as perfect as they were beautifully presented. The complimentary dessert of a brownie with fresh fruit & ice cream for Fawn's birthday made the evening just as perfect as she is a friend. Megan, a newer manager to the Roma's team, came to our table to check on our status. read more

I visited Roma's for dinner last week and was not disappointed. It seemed busy for a Tuesday, but they were able to seat me right away. My server was polite, helpful and efficient. I started with the bread and seasoned oil, which was so delicious. I also got the garden salad with the creamy balsamic, which was very tasty, as well. The Chicken Marsala was served with herbed and buttered pasta, and it was so tasty. There were tons of mushrooms and plenty of sauce. I really enjoyed my visit and can't wait to come back and try some of their other amazing looking dishes. Also - loved the music in the background and the sparklers for birthday desserts! read more

Roma's Italian Kitchen - Chicken Marsala - Italian Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

Terrific -quality food! Large amounts- zucchini appetizer wonderful. The bread and oil served with each meal are delicious!

This place is awesome. We were in Erie from Cleveland and were heading to Applebee's to eat when we spotted this place right next to it. We decided to give it a try. Great food, great service, friendly staff. We have gone back twice since our first visit. It's worth the drive if you are going to Presque Isle State Park. The ambiance is also very good. Makes you feel like you are in Italy. Would recommend to anyone who loves Italian food. read more

First time here. Located adjacent to Taco Bell and Applebees with a similar building appearance, I was expecting another fast food type of place. Instead you walk through a pleasant looking outdoor patio eating area into a very nice dining room. Immediately greeted and seated. Server came right over. Menu selection was very good. Service throughout was excellent and food was very tasty. Prices were slightly higher than expected but not outrageous. Highly recommended and I will be back here frequently. read more

Food quality wasn't that great. We were there a few weeks after they opened and haven't been back. Tried to order online and could never get an order in. read more

Food was very disappointing considering the price. Also felt extremely rushed. We were sat, got our food, and had our check within 40 minutes (we weren't even done eating yet). It's not like they were crazy busy and needed the table free. Not a great place if you want to actually take the time to try and enjoy your mediocre meal. read more

My spaghetti was very good. My husband had the (plain) Alfredo. No complaints there. The service was quick, they were very polite. Asked for regular butter and that was no problem. The looks of the place is brite and friendly, of course we have only gone for lunch. read more

The food is AMAZING! They have gluten free options for pasta as well. The head chef, Scott, came out to our table to discuss gluten free options for the stuffed pepper appetizer. He also offered a gluten free bread option! I cannot praise the kindness & attentiveness of the wait staff & chef. I absolutely recommend this Italian restaurant. The decor is also beautiful, chic, yet cozy & family oriented. read more

Fantastic food and service. Definitely coming back. Only thing I would change is, our food came too quickly, not allow allowing us to purchase a second drink. Other than that, fantastic. read more

Very very very very very very very good food. Plus people are nice. Will be back soon.

I took my sister and her husband to dinner as a Christmas treat. We arrived 20 minutes early for our reservation, but they informed us that we couldn't be seated until 10 minutes before our reservation time. We looked around and noticed that there were about ten empty tables, and after some discussion, the man finally allowed us to sit down. We felt that this policy was unnecessary, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy. Now, about the food: I found it to be quite expensive. I ordered the shrimp and lobster, but I received two shrimp, which still had their tails and shells on. My brother-in-law ordered the salmon, which wasn't served hot, and the portion of noodles that accompanied it seemed insufficient. To me, it looked like a cheap dish. My sister ordered spaghetti and meatballs, which was served hot and had plenty of sauce. However, the sauce could not compare to Serifini's; Roma's simply doesn't measure up. You need more garlic.... As for our server, he was very polite, but it took too long for him to check on us. We waited an eternity for a water refill. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere, but the restaurant could use some improvements in various areas. PLEASE COME BACK SERIFINI'S!!!! read more

I went for dinner at 4:30 on a Tuesday with my friend. There were only a few tables occupied at that time. We were sat at a high top. Our waitress, Jada, was in training. She did a great job bringing us our drinks and bread with dipping oil. She took our order promptly. Our sides of salad with house dressing and shrimp bisque were brought out. Both were tasty. The soup was nice and hot. Our entrees of shrimp scampi and romano chicken were both hot and delicious. The linguini was done just right. Sauces were flavorful. Proteins were well-cooked. I had read some negative comments on our local FB page posted right around the time they opened. Maybe Roma's has had time to settle in. Whatever the reason, both my friend and I had no complaints and enjoyed our meals. The dessert menu is fairly extensive. We had a hard time deciding. We chose to split the lemon cream cake. It was delicious. By the time we left, around 6:30, the place was completely full. It was quite loud by this time, I think due to the fact that the restaurant is one, big open space. I will return again as there are quite a few other menu items that I'd like to try based on my first experience. Happy to not have been disappointed. read more

Tried with friends in from Florida. It was an earlier reservation for 6:00-6:30pm. Just starting to get really busy. Found it to be very nice on the inside but was very noisy coming from the area just off from the bar. Food was very good but I've had better lasagna at Olive Garden. I might try if again for lunch but I won't rush to get back there. read more

My son and I visited Roma's recently, he had "Erie's Best Lasagna". He said it was fair and that he's had better lasagna we made at home. I had the stuffed pepper soup which is good. The menu is a bit pricey so I didn't want to be too adventurous in ordering. The atmosphere is nice, the music was enjoyable and the service was good. We will most likely go back when the outside seating is open again. read more

Food was good, but service was awful. Everything was incredibly slow--being greeting, getting drinks. No return to table to refill drinks, table not cleared when we had dessert. Had to hunt waiter down for take-out boxes and to ask for bills. Almost two hours for lunch, and the place was not that busy. read more

We have been several times and always enjoyed our meals and cocktails. Service is always attentive and friendly.

We made a reservation and we were seated within minutes of arrival. Our server, Mitchell was polite but was pretty"green" as evidenced in our attempts ( more than once) to gain his attention resulting in my husband getting up off the table and speaking to someone else. All this because one in our party had a inedible meal due to the chicken being undercooked. After our meals were delivered I don't know where he went but when the uncooked chicken was needing to be returned he was nowhere to be found. The other waitress my husband spoke to sent a manager over who apologized and offered to bring out a"fresh" plate. After about 10 min the meal was served and it was cooked well. Don't think my family will return....uncooked chicken at any price is unacceptable. read more

The restaurant is very nice and comfortable. The server was attentive. The wedding soup, all 3 ounces of it, was lovely. My friend and I ordered the lasagna. It was lukewarm. I assume that because it is 6 inches tall that it is hard to reheat. We both agreed it was just okay. I believe that it is made with "no boil" lasagna noodles, which, to me, are heavy, doughy and not at all tasty. In any event it is very heavy lasagna. I may go again but I'm in no hurry read more

I had heard good things about the meatballs at Roma's, so I ordered spaghetti and a meatball to go . When I arrived to pick up my order, the staff at the to-go desk said my order wasn't ready yet and that she would go check on it again. I waited approximately 5 minutes while multiple staff members came and went. Finally someone else asked if they could help me, Turns out the order that had been sitting in the shelf prior to my arrival was my order. When I got home and opened my order, I was disappointed to find only spaghetti and no meatball. The spaghetti and sauce was good, but nothing special. Overall, a disappointing first experience. read more

I had bolognese penne and my friend had lasagna and they tasted great. The menu has appropriate Italian dishes and the pricing is very affordable. The servers were friendly, knowledgeable and outfitted in nice uniforms. I loved the attractive smiling faces! Really nice interior design with attractive art. The bar is nice also. You won't be disappointed! read more

Ordered the Shrimp Scampi, as did 3 others at my table. When it arrived, it looked like a bowl of fettuccine, we were wondering where the shrimp was, it was under the pasta. Tasted wonderful, but I would suggest a better presentation, like place some shrimp on top with a garnish. Service was fantastic, portions are generous. read more

Had lunch at Roma's that was very good! A little pricey for lunch but it was worth it. Ordered the sample platter with small samples of spaghetti & one meatball, lasagna and fettuccine. It was more than enough and took some home. Service was average, ambiance was very nice. Would recommend if you don't mind the prices. read more

I saw the mixed reviews online. Food was very good, service was great. I would recommend giving it a try.
