Recommendations: Romanza is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere.  It has won many awards and is very
deserving of them.  Early Bird specials Monday to Friday from 5:30 to 6:30pm.  The only improvement I would suggest is
regarding serving staff.  The service doesn't match the exceptional quality of food.  The service is adequate, but should
be as exceptional as the food and ambiance.  With some training, this can be easily rectified.  The Chef de Cuisine,
Massimo Riggio is from Milan, Italy.  The restaurant should do everything they can to ensure they keep him as the
dishes that come out of his kitchen are exquisite.
Would we return or recommend?:  Definitely YES!
