Found this pretty much by accident. It turned out to be less than a block from the hotel (VOCO, also a great find) at which we stayed over Valentine’s Day weekend.
The food, service, and atmosphere at Romano Cucina was a perfect storm. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

I absolutely love this Italian restaurant for so many reasons. Their options on the menu, the quality of food, and the customer service is unmatched! I love dining in when I can because it’s cute and cozy, but my family, friends and I also love ordering takeout too. And, catering from here is also a phenomenal experience! The portions are on the larger side, and they have weekly specials Tuesday – Thursday for dine in! Their cocktails are also great, and im especially excited about their new addition of Skrewball peanut butter whiskey to the bar!!!
The best food menu items in my opinion are:
Appetizers: mushrooms, eggplant parmigiana
Salad: house salad and caprese (their tomatoes exclude the gooey insides & seeds which make the caprese even more delicious)
Entrees: litaliano pizza, spicy Rosa with chicken pasta, pasta tombrello, pasta Gianni, ala checca with Bianco Diavolo & chicken, chicken Marsala (off the menu)
Dessert: cannoli, cheesecake, tiramisu
Thank you to the Romano Cucina team, I’ve been a loyal customer for over 10 years now!!!

This is my fourth time eating at Romano Cucina, and it never disappoints! I ordered the shrimp scampi and a margarita, and both were outstanding. The pasta was delicious—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The margarita was refreshing and one of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere and service are always consistently great. I’ll definitely be returning again

This food is amazing! The restaurant is so quaint and cute. The staff was pleasant, the reason for 4 stars was the wait. We went in a Wednesday night, Wine Wednesday! It was busy and we waited over 30 minutes for a table for 2. Wine was 50% off. I had the ravioli special with spinach and chicken in garlic sauce. I ate the whole thing. The salad was also incredible. They had and butter before the meal, can’t wait to go again.

This place is a true hidden gem. The owner is a very sweet and kind Mexican lady who runs the place with her two sons who are very kind as well. She always treats everyone with respect and very generous. The food is amazing and the service is incredible. They train their staff very well. The place is always packed and they don’t take reservations so be sure to get there early when they open. By far our favorite restaurant.

Cozy Italian vibe
Super nice staff and tasty food
We tried the pesto pasta and the eggplant pasta,
There’s an additional $ for the protein
I do recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything was well prepared and flavorful. Our whole family had a great time, and the atmosphere made it even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to others.

Haven’t been here for a while but wow this place has a whole new vibe. Amazing food. Like I wanted to order more to go. The service is the best I have ever had. Such lovely kids from college and mission viejo and Laguna hills that rival top notch service. I felt like I was eating with family. Lemon drop martini was delicious. Rosa sauce. Steak milanese. Ravioli special. Spinach and lobster. Felt transported to little Italy in New York. 10/10

To start off the atmosphere, service are fantastic fun and classic American Italian. Brick walls, family pics all over. Wait staff on point and friendly.
But…. The food? Sadly disappointed. Was it a bad night? A one off? Hard to say as we don’t live here. Sat night, Nov 22, 2025 wasn’t it.
Menu selections and pricing very good. Prices much higher in most neighboring restaurants. To start, the Bruschetta was flavored and seasoned well. I’ve just never had it on 2 inch thick cut soft baguette bread. Was soggy and fell apart when picking it up. The fried calamari flour did not have near enough seasoning and the oil it was fried in tasted very old. Definitely not changed from a busy Friday service.
House salad on the side is a nice ol school addition but the house dressing not to my liking. Was not a vinaigrette, more like a very salty dried herb and oil. Personal taste.
Enteees: some at our table had the ravioli special, lobster filled with shrimp and sun dried tomato cream sauce. It was good, had nice flavor. Ravioli decent, didn’t taste anything lobster flavored in the filling. But that could be due the heavy overpowering sauce.
I had a Shrimp Scampi with angel hair. Probably should have asked for Fettuccine but more importantly the “Scampi” sauce was just non-existent. I’ve never had Scampi with just oil and garlic. No white wine, although the menu stated it, just an oily blob. The shrimp themselves were overcooked, and dry. Very small. 25/30s maybe? Not a bad quality, had a nice shrimp flavor. Presentation was just awful. Big blob of pasta in the middle tossed with oil and shrimp (8) scattered around the edges. Funny thing is every pasta dish i saw was soupy with sauce and mine lacked any.
Anyways, the community seems to love the place. Recommend some serious attention to details and flavor, as well as QC. Was a very fun place to dine at.
Update: looking at someone else’s pic of the same shrimp scampi 4 days ago is completely different. Looks delicious! Creamy sauce all throughout. My fault for not sending it back

Love this place. Very cozy and comfortable. They have the best Martini selection. Thursday night martini night is the best deal. Very popular. Come early at 5 when they open cause they are always busy. Food is delicious. Their seafood pasta selection is awesome. The staff are attentive and courteous. Great place for a good meal and drink.
