Osteria Alla Romana

We absolutely love our visits to Osteria Alla Romana to see Chris and Isaiah! These two work hard to ensure the food is phenomenal and that from the time you walk through the door you’re treated like family. The ingredients are quality and the sauces are Chris’ own recipe which he also sells in store! We always like to stock up on Monti, the mushroom sauce, for home. This is such a wonderful place to celebrate with family and friends, have a date night out, attend a live music night, and break bread. If you are looking for an authentic Italian meal definitely give The Osteria a shot!

We came here for my wife’s birthday and from the moment we walked in we were treated to top-tier service, conversation and most importantly food. The host, server, and chef were all Chris and it was like we were visiting him at his home dinner table. I don’t even have words to describe how great the food was. We had great conversation and left with full and happy bellies along with smiles on our faces. It’s so nice having a meal with REAL ingredients. Can’t wait to go again the next time we are in the area.

We have been wanting to try this restaurant for quite some time! It was FANTASTIC! We had bruschetta, ravioli special and spaghetti with shrimp. The chef/owner was INCREDIBLE. His food was outstanding! Can’t wait to try more! Highly recommend! Thank you Chef!

He commented on my cleavage to my friend, said he’d cook our meal after finishing his cappuccino & asked if that was okay. We shrugged it off & said sure. I ordered spaghetti & meatballs with meat sauce. Instead, the pasta came out as shells, though he had asked if that would be okay. The sauce was thin but at least coated the pasta. He only gave me one meatball, after asking if that was “enough.” Throughout the meal, he kept popping his head beside mine from the booth behind me, completely invading my space. He sat with us the entire time, urging my friend to hurry up & finish her plate. He also launched into

Located in Lancaster, this authentic Italian restaurant is a standout.
