I've been going to Romano's for years now, and it's my favourite Italian restaurant. I'm good friends with the chef, Toni, and he's the best around!

The ambience is just right — warm, relaxed, and the kind of spot where you can sit back and actually enjoy your evening without any fuss. The food is consistently excellent, but those prawns are unbelievable. I've had them more times than I can count and they never let me down.
I really enjoy the wine here, and the odd Peroni always hits the spot. Then in the summer, Toni makes his own limoncello concoction that's only available then, and it's amazing. It just rounds off the whole meal perfectly.

After all these years it's more than just a restaurant to me. Every visit feels easy and familiar, like catching up with someone who knows exactly what you like. I wouldn't go anywhere else for Italian-Sicilian.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much Brian. Grazie mille.

The best carbonara I've had in a long time. And my wine choice was Naja, perfect for the dish.

Response from the owner

You are very welcome Nicoly. Thank you for the lovely review. Grazie mille bella.

Really disappointed with this place. Expected so much more from "authentic Italian" cuisine. Food was overcooked and the sauce was watery. Didn't even finish my plate. The only positives I took from there was the one tasty olive on my plate and chilled water before dinner.

Response from the owner

Not surprised at your negative attitude when you arrived here. I could tell you write this. You was on the phone already when you arrived. Your husband eat everything and he loved it. Even you both had steaks. You left tiny little piece in the plate.
