Bistro Romano is a great place to eat whether it's a romantic dinner for two or a family dinner. The food is delicious and the restaurant is very cozy.

The atmosphere was great, not so good food and not so speedy staff. You walk downstairs into a stone cellar, very romantic with low lighting. We were impressed. We were served wat...

This was an excellent experience. We were seated in a very cozy table for two, and served by a very affable, efficient, and attentive server, Keith. The food was very good and of good sized portions. We will definitely be returning. more

We usually receive a birthday coupon for my husband. It would be great to get one for me and one for my daughter. Be both love coming to Bistro Romano. It makes for a great mother/daughter night out. Additionally, my daughter has taken her girlfriends for a special night out. The food is always great and the Caesar Salad is outrageous! more

I can't believe I haven't been here before! My husband and I live in the city and have always wanted to try Bistro Romano, and after our experience there we will definitely be coming back for more! From the food to the service to the ambience, everything was exceptional. We sampled a touch of everything on the menu including appetizers, pasta, entrees, and dessert! The food was so fresh and flavorful, we practically licked our plates clean! Their wine selection was also on point and the dessert tray had my mouth watering from the second our waitress brought it to our table. On top of the food being amazing, the staff provided excellent service. Our waitress was very knowledgable, our glasses were never empty, and the manger touched our table at least 3 times during our meal. It was a perfect evening accompanied by a perfect meal and service! more

Located in the heart of the city, Bistro Romano does not disappoint. I dined there last evening for the first time. Having never dined there before, I was nervous as it was a very special birthday dinner. I made the reservation for the private table for two in the Wine Cellar. It was very romantic. The atmosphere was perfect, the ambiance cozy, the service excellent and the food fantastic. I would recommend Bistro Romano for the casual occasion as well as the very special occasions.. more

Bistro Romano was a great experience from the minute we walked in. The ambiance, the attention to detail, the charm of the place gave us a first impression we will always remember. The food was wonderful, we all enjoyed every item we ate. As soon as we experienced the dinner down stairs we knew we wanted to utilize the facility for a gathering in the very near future. I suggested my husband's 50th birthday. It is a date. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, it is a dream come true. more

The building is absolutley gorgeous, right before you walk in, even the gold ribbons and greenery along the windows were lovely. The hostess was warm and very nice. As soon as we sat down we were greeted with water and bread. Our waitress, Shannon was very nice, down to earth and personable. The chef had sent out small crostinis topped with a unique bruschetta mix that was delicious. We had stuffed mushrooms, Caesar's salad table said (utterly amazing, I crave it in my sleep) and I had the Rigitoni Bistro with chicken which was hot and flavorful. The oil used for bread dipping was so tasty and clean, lots of herb flavors infused. The meal and service t more

Wish we were offered the parking garage discount card. Love that truffles are used in some of the dishes, and I can't wait to see murder mystery and piano bar. Also love the history and atmosphere of the building. more

Warm, cozy, romatic. Excellent service and food. Stuffed mushrooms, fabulous flavor, well worth the wait. Caesar salad prepared tableside by Keith was crisp and tossed to perfection. Veal Melanzane and Veal Saltimbocca spiced just right and generous helping no sides needed could not finish the pasta and too full for the scruptious desserts so we will need to make another visit. Our first time and definitely impressed. more
