" I've been coming to Romanos for years, but my latest two visits have been disappointing. The pizza has been lacking flavor, and the crust isn’t what it used to be – tough and chewy instead of light and crispy. The service is hit or miss; on busy nights, they forget orders or mix them up entirely. While the staff is generally friendly, they seem overworked. I miss the days when this place was consistently good. I hope they turn it around soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Rockwell and looking for decent Italian, Romanos might be worth a try. The pizza was enjoyable; however, other dishes ran into trouble. The meatballs were bland and sauce underwhelming. Our server was attentive, but overall, I think they need a chef revamp. If improvement happens, I would consider returning for another go, especially for pizza. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's a decent spot for a quick bite, but don't expect to find authentic Italian food here. My pasta lacked flavor and the garlic bread was stale. The service staff was friendly but forgetful. I appreciated their attitude, but the quality of food just didn't cut it. For a neighborhood restaurant, I'll probably pass next time and find something more satisfying. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Romanos with family last week, and it was a mixed bag. The garlic bread was fresh and really good, but my pasta dish was undercooked and rather bland. My sister tried the seafood linguine and found it fishy and not enjoyable. The server was clearly new and struggled to keep up with our drink orders. It isn't exactly the vibe you'd expect when going for an Italian meal. I do appreciate the effort, but this place needs major improvements, especially in the kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to treat my partner to a nice dinner, so we chose Romanos based on its past reputation. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to what I remembered. The service was painfully slow, and when my chicken parmesan finally arrived, the chicken was dry and overcooked. I expected more flavor and freshness considering Italian cuisine usually emphasizes quality ingredients. The ambiance was nice, but that couldn't save the meal. Sadly, we won't be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Romanos based on a friend's rave review, but our experience didn't live up to expectations. The lasagna was dry and tasted microwaved. The server was nice, but that's about all I can praise. We were given stale bread that was hard as a rock, and the salad was nothing but iceberg lettuce with no toppings. A good dining experience should leave you happy, but I felt like I wasted my evening. I cannot recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I guess I expected too much from Romanos based on hearsay. The dish I ordered was lackluster at best. My veggie tortellini was limp and tasteless. I was looking for vibrant flavors but was only met with mediocrity. The service was attentive, but staff needs to work on their food more than smiles. It’s unfortunate since it felt with a refreshing name that has Italian roots. " (*Curated Review*)
