Roma Mia

Looked at several reviews before decided to go to Roma Mia. It turned out to be one of the best meal my spouse and I had in a long time. Asked recommendations from our several choices on the menu and we were not disappointed with the advice given. Excellent server and staff. Even got introduced to the chef. For appetizer we ordered the Prosciutto di parma e mozzarella di bufala. It was great and already found the mozzarella at the local market. For the main courses we shared the Spaghetti alle vongole (clams, garlic, parsley, white wine, olive oil) and a fantastic pepper steak. The flavors were delightful, the pasta was outstanding and truly fresh.

For Valentine's day, we were craving Italian and got a reservation at Roma Mia. The location is right in the middle of gaslamp quarters in front of Balboa theater and easy to find. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the interior was lovely. However, the table in the corner was a bit squished and we were very close to the people sitting next to us. We were close enough to hear their conversation but the seating arrangements might just be for Valentine's day. We got the last reservation for our time slot so we were expecting the restaurant to be packed, but most of the tables were empty.

For food, we ordered the bruschetta assortment, ravioli ricota e spinaci, and tagliolini gamberi e limone. The bruschetta sampler was an unique experience. The menu didn't specify which ones we were getting so we were pleasantly surprised when we tried each one. They came with a mushroom spread, tomatoes, olive spread, and garlic spread. The pastas were pretty good too. We enjoyed the tagliolini which had shrimps in a lemon tomato sauce. The pasta was al dente. The presentation was very nice. The spinach ravioli was also flavorful. The portions were a bit small though. There was only 5 raviolis. The meal was a bit pricey for the portion size, but the taste was solid.

real and authentic Italian restaurant. recipes and authentic taste impeccable and friendly service. 100% Italian style. Bolognese fettuccine and lasagna have that true taste, as the Italians say: "grandma's tastes and flavors. to try absolutely.
