Food: Very good, tasty, but only after a couple of tries. The shellfish tasted awful, and was cold on the inside while hot on the outside. (Microwaved?) Ugh! It was replaced with an alternate dish, some chicken with roasted potatoes and spinach. This was great, no complaints. Service: Busboys cute, waiters handsome, bartender hot, but a couple of the waiters... more

We enjoyed our second visit to Trattoria Roma and are looking forward to more! Service was friendly and efficient. We could have made a meal just from the fresh bread and salads! My husband loved his pizza, and I quickly consumed the entree of fish and grilled veggies. In the past, we have tried a number of overpriced and pretentious... more

I was in Old Town Chicago last week and went to see Second City. We popped into the Trattoria Roma because it was half a block away and they said they could serve us and get us out the door in 30 minutes. And they did. Great service, hustling waiters (real I-TAL-ians), great food, large portions, and reasonable prices. We... more

Read reviews of Trattoria Roma on Tripadvisor ... and made a reservation. We thought we would get a good meal; didn't expect to be welcomed like family! Laura DeSerio-Zalloni, owner with her husband, made us very welcome. We had a block of time before going to Second City and we were not rushed. The food, oh my. Brushetta was fragrant... more

I was starved, the Osso Buco was fabulous! I had no reservation and my wife was getting abit edgy. Talk about taking the edger off; this guy Lex, Tex or Rex ( I can't recall, but I know it rhymed with "sex"), at the secretive basement bar on a busy saturday night managed to keep our business by offering us... more
