We got the rigatoni, pomodoro, and Susan's downfall. Everything was absolutely amazing, especially the Susan's Downfall. The service and everything was fantastic as well. Would definitely recommend dining here.

The chicken parmigiana with ziti was an ample combo of chicken parm along with ziti pasta. Not interested in anything very Italian, no worries. Hubby had tender steak skewers with potatoes and carmelized onions. My wine was a generous pour of Montepulciano. Our server was gracious and very efficient. Wish I remembered her name!

We loved our family meal at Roma. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The main dishes and portion sizes were perfect for our hungry sons, and we enjoyed several appetizers, as well. We look forward to returning next time we are in the area.

We traveled about an hour to dine at Cucina Venti, and we’re so glad we did! We were incredibly impressed with everything; the atmosphere, cocktails, wine, and especially the food. Service was quick and seamless from ordering to the meal arriving, and everything was excellent. A special shoutout to our server, Monico B. He was phenomenal; genuinely kind, attentive, and his recommendations were spot-on. We already would have had a wonderful experience, but Monico’s exceptional service truly made the evening top-notch. Absolutely worth the drive, and we will definitely be back!
