We were immediately seated, a basket of bread, and then zilch. Other people came in, drinks, orders placed and we were so completely ignored it was crazy! We couldn't even get a waitresses attention without them walking off. We had never even been in before and thought from the "awesome service" and food reviews it would be a great place to try. To say we were disappointed would be a huge understatement. read more

Fantastic food! Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. Definitely worth the visit!

Do not recommend this restaurant whatsoever. The waitress we had had no idea what anything on the menu is and when asked she said "i'm not really sure" when the meal came out two plates that should have had the same sauce on them looked completely different and when asked she said I don't know what sauce is supposed to be on yours but let me look at the menu and see even though we already knew they should have been the same. When asked if this mystery sauce had any dairy in it she said it shouldn't instead of asking the cook/chef. So I am not writing this review from the restroom because whatever they gave me has made me violently ill. read more

Roma's Italian Restaurant - SAUSAGE PIZZAOLA - supposed to have marinara sauce but somehow came out with a thin broth like sauce. - Italian Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

Few places to eat a delicious dinner in this town on a Sunday evening, so we settled on Roma's hoping to enjoy a robust Italian meal. The server led us to a small booth in the corner where we thought we'd have an intimate dining experience. Within minutes, the long table adjacent to us filled with a party of about 14 people with children who weren't quiet--they were having fun. So we moved to another spot farther away from the crowd. We asked our server for the wine menu (what is Italian food without a hearty glass of wine), and she referred us to the card on the table in a plastic stand...$5 a glass for the house brands. We inquired about the brand of the house offerings. She smiled, shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't know, adding that she was under-aged and didn't drink. So I ordered a Cabernet, and my spouse ordered a Pino (Noir). A few minutes later, she brought us the Cab and Pino Grigio (white wine). She reluctantly took the Grigio back and returned with a glass of Noir. When I asked her what was her favorite meal on the menu, she replied that she didn't eat her meals at Roma's so didn't know. That should have been a clue!!! She brought us standard dinner rolls, glasses of water, and we ordered. The small salads came cold and crisp with slices of romaine topped with fresh mozzarella cheese, a slice of tomato and dressing. The Sallisaw Special consisted of spaghetti noodles, a pounded piece of sautéed chicken, 4 shrimp, one artichoke heart cut in four pieces, canned rubbery mushroom slices, spinach and chopped red peppers -- in a white sauce. My Sicily Special included fettuccine noodles, sliced canned mushrooms, small round slices of processed pepperoni and ham (liked you'd find atop a pizza), spinach, black olives and chopped red pepper, also in a white sauce. Both meals were just okay; however, the lack of seasoning made for a bland sauce, Thus, neither of us finished our meal. Frankly we were disappointed in our $45 dinners, yet what can you expect in a town of 8,000 when the only main grocery stores are a small Walmart and Dollar General? read more

We love this location! We eat here often, I mainly order the chicken Marsala and my husband orders the Murphy. We've always been very happy with the quality of our meals. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. read more

Romas was good. Old cracked leather on the booth cushion, weird artificial air freshener smell, garlic knots meh, marinara good, house salad ok, water had a weird taste, chicken piccata was good except for the price I could have used more pasta. Waitstaff was not a rush, but friendly and efficient. I'd probably not go back but if I had a hankering for Italian and happened to be in this town, then this will be good enough in a pinch. read more

Roma's Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

Food was amazing. Fresh and delicious. Server? Not so much. Kristin was very rude. She rolled her eyes and spoke with attitude. My drink went empty twice, and it took awhile to get a refill. She wasn't alone, nor busy, just lazy and on her phone. Thank you for the food, but please hire better waitstaff. read more

I enjoy the food at Roma's, and feel that it is quite authentic. I do think they need to train their waitstaff in the basics of restaurant etiquette. Drinks should be served promptly and appetizers before meals, all hot plates should be served at the same time, not letting three people enjoy hot food and two people sit and watch until their food arrives. It does not cost any more to look professional and put together then it does to look like you just rolled out of bed wearing yesterday's hairdo. I am very put off by their cheap silverware and cheap plastic drinkware and plates. It is very offputting considering that the food is so good. I know this is a restaurant family from back east so they should know better. To the family, please take a little bit of time and effort to teach your staff the right way to represent. Your restaurant is one of the best in our small area!!! read more

What a delight to find a great restaurant in such a small town right off Interstate 40. If you live in the area or just passing through this place is a must try. We've been here a couple time now and have never had a bad experience. The booth's are a little rundown and could use updating but it's still a relaxing environment with great food. My husband always orders a steak and it always comes cooked to perfection and to his liking. This time I ordered the Salmon Picante and it to was cooked to perfection and super yummy. The Calamari we ordered was definitely over cooked and chewy but other then that everything was tasty. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I stopped in today on our way back from Tulsa. We arrived at 5:15 on a Thursday and were seated immediately. Our server was Londyn and she had the cutest southern accent. We ordered Dr Pepper for drinks and munched on the bread before our dinner salads came out. The bread is pizza crust baked on a greasy pan to create a type of pizza bread roll. The salad consisted of dressing on the plate, a nice helping of Romain lettuce (shredded, unwilted) and was topped with mozzarella and one sliced Roma tomato. We asked for additional marinara for the bread with no additional charge. My husband ordered the shrimp Alfredo. He received 5 pieces of fat shrimp, a small portion of noodles, and a generous helping of sauce. The shrimp needs more seasoning before it's cooked and tossed into the meal. I found the entire plate fell flat with just alfredo and noodles. I ordered the pasta sampler and was completely disappointed. I received a sampling of manicotti, lasagna, cheese tortellini, and penne noodles coated in the marinara, cheese, and placed in the oven to melt. The Romano and parmigiana are clearly from a frozen state. Once you freeze cheese, it creates a different texture inside the pasta and it all kind of mushed together. There was a green spinach looking ravioli and it was not good. The pasta outside was undercooked and I did not like what was going on inside. As we checked out, the gentleman (Enzu) asked how it was. I explained that I didn't like the sampler and he comped the meal. I explained that's a risk we take by trying new places but he wanted me to be happy. He showed me the menu and explained what he liked. He offered the kids meal for a smaller portion and spent the time talking to me. I read disappointment on his face, too. Overall, the food was a three star experience but the gentleman at the end earned an extra star. Not for the comp of my meal, but for the time he took to speak with me and point out what he might order next time. He provided a way for me to come back and try again and that's what owning a business is all about. Not everyone will be a fan but taking the time to listen and being compassionate will keep them in business for a long time. read more

OMG! I am so glad that the mixed reviews didn't prevent us from trying this establishment. We arrived just past dinner time on a Saturday night. They were thankfully not super busy as we were traveling cross country and didn't want to take a ton of time but wanted a good meal. This met both requirements for sure. My sister got the manicotti and my husband the lasagna. I was torn between the chicken parm and chicken Alfredo. Our server Lea recommended the Alapona (pink) sauce with either. I decided on the chicken fettuccine and added broccoli with the pink sauce. Wow! The serving was large and the flavors were nothing short of amazing!!! Both my husband and sister loved their dishes as well. The garlic rolls were also delicious and the included salads were an added bonus that most restaurants do not include anymore. Don't skip stopping here, you will be pleasantly surprised. Oh, and the prices were reasonable and portions perfect! Wish we lived closer as this would be a regular stop. I also want to point out that most of the servers although very young, were pleasant and very well trained to be efficient and friendly. Kudos to their manager, and to the servers, keep up the good work and attitude in whatever you do in the future, and you will be successful! read more

Server No clue. She's not said much. She has a very small voice and is very difficult to hear. She failed to check and see if we were ok, I expressed a concern about the house Italian dressing and she never followed up with me to see if I was happy with it. With over half our food remaining, the unnamed server asked if we wanted to go containers then promptly brought our check. The check identifys her as jimie. Ambiance Nice Italian flaire, but very localized. Food Not impressed The chicken parmagiana is not good at all. The chicken tastes very grizzly which is not appealing. The spaghetti however, was quite good. The pasta combo appears as though the varieties were just dumped in the middle of the plate rather than spread around the plate. Overall Pushy server, not very good food Very disappointing experience Military They claim to, but was unidentified or identifiable read more

Reviewed September 7, 2017 Health Score 76 out of 100 Better Than Average Had lunch here. The place was not crowded but, there was a group of 8-10 diners. The place is a little worn. Looks like they may have had some roof damage and are recovering from a few leaks. I think they were a little under staffed but, service was still fairly prompt. I had the Chicken Siciliana and my wife had the lasagna. Mine was very good, lots of capers, fresh mushrooms and artichoke hearts. My wife loved the tomato sauce in the lasagna. This is a good Italian restaurant you should try if you are traveling on I-40. It is easy to access. Look for the Braum's and turn on the first street just north of it. Note: This review was originally posted on Tripadvisor by Spike S. read more

Food amazing but it does take some time to get to you. Clean environment But very nice friendly staff!

We were passing through and saw the reviews - decided to try. The food was delicious and the service was great!

Had eaten here before and anxious to return on recent trip thru ok and ark We were not disappointed! Food and service very good! I tried the spinach ravioli and it was excellent! My husband had his usual spaghetti with the works and he was also pleased. And of course had basket of rolls served immediately. The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Our server (sorry I didn't get her name) was very efficient and attentive and hot food was received in timely manner. Will definitely return! read more

The food is okay, I got the Veal Marsala. The veal was bland, way over cooked and chewy, must be because they grilled it. The sauce was bland as well, there was no flavor to it. No taste of garlic or marsala. read more

Horrible. I ordered a pizza and I said easy on the cheese but I'm pretty sure they put extra cheese on my pizza

The prices were a little step, but that's Italian food for you. The flavours were very good. The portions are very nice. I've been here a few times, and I WILL be back. read more

Good Italian flair for small Oklahoma town, nice break from fast food. I really enjoyed the food. We did take out.

Great Italian food. Great service and nice staff overall. Good place for the family we all need left completely satisfied

Fantastic Italian food with a very kind team! From the bread to the fettuccine with shrimp and scallops....everything was delicious. Highly recommend! read more

They refused a service because we had a service animal. Our dog is licensed and registered and we even showed the license. And they refused us service read more

Add this store to DoorDash please. It would mean a lot to see it there so I can get delivery at my apartment.

Meh. It'll do in a pinch. Service was terrible and the food is ok. Nice and clean place though.

Small town restaurant so you never know what to expect. Although the place is a little bit on the plain side. The food and services were excellent. Large portions to the price served hot and flavorful. Service was very attentive and pleasant. This place is a gem! read more

Great flavor.. had the TRIO... way to much food... it was great.. For the area this was a great little find. I'd eat here every time I come back to the Sallisaw area. read more

Ok but really not worth it. The food was pretty fine and the salad was bad I ordered Italian and I get something else. The worst thing is my silverware had someone's or some food on the napkin when we sat down AND IT WASN'T MINE. read more

This place is a great little gem. Outside is nothing to write home about. But the food and service is great. The mushroom caps and their sauce is a great appetizer. I had the Shrimp Diavalo and it had a nice little kick. Large portions, so get a to go box. Ok wine selection. For Sallisaw it's a great place. Kid friendly and good prices. read more

They bring wonderful garlic bread to you right when you sit down. Our server was very sweet and had good service. No music made the restaurant awkwardly quiet (specially for a loud family like mine). They have gluten free spaghetti pasta!!!!!! A gluten free-ers dream in a small Oklahoma town. Portions were huge (dinner and lunch the next day). The house Italian dressing tasted just like marinara- kind of strange. read more

Great find in a small town - vegetables were fresh and chicken delicious. I had the Benny special. Extremely reasonable and tasty. Staff very pleasant and the chef came out to check on us! Clean and warm environment. (At first we walked into another restaurant on the Main street but it smelled like mildew and their bathrooms were dirty. ) read more

Thank you Jimmi for the excellent service, friendly smile and great attitude. The food was really good too. Only advise is to have chef trim black fat off salmon in prep and little thicker sauce, was a wee bit runny for me. Overall great service and meal for the value. read more

Good, good gravy y'all! 5 stars, what?! Yes, and all because of the sweet owners and staff. Ok that's true, but the Stromboli is for real. Go and eat it right now. You can thank me later. Also they have pasta, salads, etc. It's the bread that calls to you. Answer the call, careful though, it's almost swimsuit season. read more

Called 20 min ahead and they accommodated a party of 35 on a Friday night at 7pm! Food is great. Even had a gluten free pasta for my wife. Wait staff are EXCELLENT! read more

I was not a huge fan of this restaurant, but to be fair they made special arrangements to accomodate our group outside of normal business hours with a set menu. I come from Florida so the way Italian is done is different in Oklahoma. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and cheesecake. It wasn't bad, but I wasn't impressed by it either. The service was excellent considering the huge group we were, they definitely went above and beyond in the service experience department! read more

Roma's Italian Restaurant - house salad - Italian Near Me - Sallisaw, Oklahoma

We stopped for lunch on a long road trip and found this wonderful Italian restaurant! We have a favorite Italian restaurant in Southern California, and Roma's is every bit as good and maybe even a bit better! Excellent home cooked food at reasonable prices in a quiet, clean and pleasant atmosphere. The service was outstanding as well. read more

We ordered takeout directly from the restaurant, and it was fantastic! We left the hotel just a few minutes after ordering, and it was ready when we arrived. We ordered lobster ravioli, and it couldn't have been any better! The young man who took our payment (I think his name was Enzo) was very personable, and it was obvious that he enjoyed his job. We were just passing through, but our experience in Sallisaw was wonderful - and dinner at Roma's was a nice ending to the evening! read more
