Editorial Review for Trattoria Roma – by Tracy Zollinger Turner
The Scene
This truly romantic spot has a white tablecloth dining room with cozy deep red and walnut walls, as well as an intimate sidewalk patio. A small bar area adds a little retro flair with its framed pictures of Rat Pack albums; the music of its members, like Dean Martin, is piped in throughout the restaurant.
The Food
Start with the Mozerella alla Caprese, especially in summer months, when Ohio tomatoes and basil leaves are at their sweetest. The house salad is serviceable, but save room for entrees like the amazing Rotolo di Pasta, which delicately layers pasta with spinach and ricotta and romano cheese in a marinara and parmasean cream sauce. The Paglio E Fieno smothers spinach fettucini, Tiger Shrimp, scallops and vegetables in a flavorsome lemon-salmon crème sauce, but beware of the sometimes overcooked broccoli.

Insider Tips

This is a great restaraunt to bring a date, it's romantic and has great atmosphere. The food is very good and I enjoy the relaxed feel. The last time I ate there it was my girlfriends 21st birthday and when we were ordering wine the waiter was nice and wished her happy birthday. After dinner they brought out 2 butterscotch shots, one with a strawberry and a candle on it. All without us asking for this! Excellent service, I would recommend going!
Pros: good food service and romantic
Cons: none!

We just got back from dinner and had to give the experience 2 thumbs up! The outdoor atmosphere was very romantic with charming music in the background. Our service (by Jon) was superb. He was very knowledgable of the menu and helpful in giving reccomendations. We loved the crab cakes! Ask for Jon!
Pros: Service and Atmoshphere
