Alec was an incredible waiter. The food was delicious and drinks were strong. There was a small hiccup with our order and it was fixed then though they were closing soon. We were never rushed and felt extremely welcome at all times. This is a must.
In town for a short stay and the hotel concierge recommended this place. The restaurant was conveniently located nest our hotel and the ambiance was fabulous. Greeted immediately at the door and seated with no wait . Alec, our server was attentive, and knowledgeable about the choices and recommendations. Food was amazing and the dinner was topped off with a complimentary dessert ( it was my birthday). Whenever you are in the downtown San Diego area ( GasLamp), please visit Romanissimo. You won’t regret it!
My husband and I had dinner at Romanissimo and absolutely loved it! Our server, Maria, was a breath of fresh air — so friendly and enthusiastic, offering great recommendations from the menu that turned out to be just as delicious as she promised. We enjoyed it so much we went back again, and this time our server, Marcelo, was equally wonderful. The food was outstanding, the wine was delicious, and the service both times was truly magnificent.
The setup with inside and outside seating is great especially after 6pm. The floors were unusually slippery, be forewarned. Our servers were very good Ask for their bread the door, it was so fresh, light, with just enough crunch for the virgin olive oil. The cheese bowl pasta (w/chicken) was amazing! Not too parm salty, noodles al dente, sauces were just creamy perfection.🤌🏾 Ceasar salad was almost as good as in Mexico. The entrée that stole the show was the oxtail & risotto... I'll drive another 100 miles for that, 2 pieces wasn't enough it was so good. The oxtail meatball dish was ok, the other meats dominated the flavor although you could tell it was different, pasta was good. Overall a solid choice for Italian food.
One of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had! The pasta was perfectly seasoned, and the mushrooms inside were incredibly juicy and flavorful. The pizza was crispy and delicious, with everything seasoned just right, full of rich, balanced flavors. Our server, Alec, was super friendly and made sure we had an amazing dining experience. Overall, it turned into one of my favorite dining experiences ever. Highly recommend! 🍝🍕✨
