Rating: 4**** Overall Experience: Very good. Atmosphere: Warm, inviting, intimate. Service: Pleasant, friendly, efficient. Menu items: Something to please everyone, great selection of European ingredients. Food Presentation: Generous portions, beautifully presented. Food is of exceptional quality. Food Prices: Reasonable and appropriate for this calibre of restaurant. Alcohol: Full bar. Wine Selection: Good selection. Wine Prices: Reasonable, generous size pour by the glass . How many were seated at your table? 1 Do they accept reservations? Yes Credit Cards accepted? Yes 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!
