Roma Italian Restaurant, Catering, and Events

⸻ I asked my grandson what he wanted for dinner—American, Italian, Chinese, fast food, or Mexican. Without hesitation, he said Italian. I let him choose two places, but parking was a challenge at both. So I told him, “Let me take you somewhere you can’t go wrong.” I took him to a place I’ve loved for years—a spot known for Strombolis as long as your forearm, stuffed with whatever you like, and pizzas that are homemade, fresh, and simply delicious. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. He chose Roma Italiano Restaurant, and I couldn’t have agreed more. What I love most is how warm and cordial they are—you’re treated like family. At the Sandston location, the father, one of the sons, and two daughters are usually working together. I believe the other son works at the Mec

I did a custom pizza bacon,garlic,basil with onion. The crust tasted like something I could have made at home but, the pizza was good over all.. This place wins for the great staff that check on you and makes sure you are well taken care of every time they walk by. Overall it’s a good place to grab a pie with the kids…. Just not the Italian style pizza I was looking for..

Linguine Di Mare This dish left you with a mouth full of flavors between each bite! The seafood was the prominent taste, while the sauce, although very good, was a bit delicate. My humble opinion only. We ordered pick up snd wit was ready at the time they said it would be 👍👍 As stated above a bit to bland for me.

Business trip or not, Roma Ristorante made me feel like I took a quick detour to Italy. The calamari came out just the way I asked—crispy enough to make Nonna proud, with sauces that kept me dipping. The chicken piccata? Bellissimo. Hot, flavorful, and plated like they knew I was going to brag about it later. And because no Italian meal is complete without something sweet, I left with a cannoli to go—a little box of happiness I wasn’t about to share. The service was spot-on: friendly, attentive, and quick without rushing the meal. If you’re in Sandston and craving real Italian comfort food, this is the spot. Roma makes you want to say, “When in Virginia, do as the Italians do.”

I thought this was an authentic pizza place and I was WRONG!! The wings are BASIC and are basically Tyson frozen wings from bag and put in an air fryer, while they are good but basic Walmart bag type of food. The pizza is basic and not worth it at all. 😢🤦🏽‍♂️
