We had our Xmas party there yesterday downstairs in The Grotto and it was such a fabulous time! Nicholas was our contact from day one; he worked w us on dates and all planning! He was great. Sadie was our lead bartender and she was amazing! So accommodating to myself with moving things around for setup, and super friendly with all of our guests! Thank you all for making it such a great Christmas for our staff!

I had the most wonderful experience at Via Roma tonight! From the moment we walked in, the restaurant was spotless and welcoming, and every detail from the hostess to the managers showed a high level of professionalism and personal touch.
Our server, Alecia, was absolutely top tier! She was super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about all things Via Roma. I had originally looked over the menu online, but thanks to her salesmanship, we completely changed course and I’m soooo glad we did!
She recommended the fritto misto to start, which was phenomenal. The house-made focaccia bread was perfectly baked and full of flavor. My dad, visiting from California, ordered the veal tortellini which was super flavorful and honestly something I would’ve ordered myself. I went with the Parmigiano with chicken and pomodoro, which was to die for! The chicken was perfectly breaded and bursting with flavor. My son had the braised short ribs, and the creamy polenta they came with was hands down one of the best I’ve ever tasted! I literally couldn’t resist stealing bites!
The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the cocktails were fantastic! Via Roma is truly a hidden gem. I’d recommend it to anyone…whether you’ve been before and need to revisit the new menu, or if it’s your first time, this place is worth it. Everything was perfect, start to finish!

We Came for a Halloween movie night. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I had never been here before, so it was an excuse to finally check the place out. First, our server was super friendly. I was really excited to try the gluten-free meatballs. It’s nice to have a restaurant nearby that has gluten-free pasta, as well. The gluten-free chocolate cake was delicious. The event was amazing. They provided popcorn and little bags of candy and nuts. I’m afraid to go to bed, now, after the scary movie, hahaha, but I definitely recommend dining here!

I really like this place. The food was good and the service was excellent. We had a large party of 20+ for my mom’s birthday and the wait staff were very attentive. Most of our food came out fairly quick but because we had such a large group, there were some delays on a couple of meals but only by a few minutes.
The manager stopped by and told us about the history of this place. Of course I remember it being the old Carrie Cerino’s which always held good memories. He even showed us the event spaces which combined could hold upwards of 450. One room could hold 320 while the other 120+. They have a basement lounge which is cool.
Safe to say this place will be a regular spot for me.

My Mediterranean salad was overfilled with onions and it was served without croutons. I kept a picture of how many onions there were. Also unhappy about the very limited menu in the Grotto. Yes, there was a band but the food is important. The waitress said she was a supervisor but she did not care about my salad complaint. Her tip was automatically included because we had a large group. You need to reconsider the menu or we are not coming back.

We had the most perfect Valentine’s Day dinner at Via Roma! From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely amazing—so warm, attentive, and truly made us feel special all night. The food was even better than we expected. I ordered the stuffed gnocchi with Italian sausage and it was incredible, rich, and full of flavor. My girlfriend got the chicken parmigiana and it was perfectly cooked and delicious.
We started with the Italian wedding soup, which was honestly phenomenal, and the homemade bread had such a fresh, amazing taste. We also treated ourselves to a bottle of wine that paired perfectly with everything. To end the night, we shared their famous 17-layer chocolate cake, which was the perfect sweet finish.
The sweetest touch of all was when they brought my girlfriend a rose with the check for Valentine’s Day—it made the evening feel even more special. Such a romantic and memorable experience. We will definitely be back! ❤️

We went to Via Roma on Valentine’s Day and had a really nice experience. We started with the artichoke dip. For my entrée, I ordered the surf and turf, which was the special that night, and I really enjoyed it. My husband ordered the prime rib ravioli and he loved it.The portion sizes were great for the price. We had plenty to eat and still had leftovers to take home. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and helpful with any questions we had about the menu. The manager also stopped by our table to check in, which was nice and showed that they really care about their guests. The cocktail menu is also unique and has a good variety. I would definitely recommend Via Roma if you’re looking for a nice, romantic dinner.

Seems to be hit or miss. The first time we ate here last year, we were very happy. This time was a disappointment. We started with the artichoke dip, which was very good. My son-in-law had French Onion Soup which came out looking great but was not. The onions were burned so the soup was bitter. I had the Chicken Parm which was pretty good. Too much spaghetti, small piece of chicken. My daughter had raviolis with truffle crème and liked it very much. Son-in-law had salmon and said it was good. My husband ordered scallops and shrimp which used to be just scallops. Now for the same price of $39, he got two scallops and three shrimp and the scallops were not large by any means. To be fair, the shrimp were large and tasty. But, this was a far cry from the dish he had in our last visit. On top of this, we never got our salads or any bread. When we told our waitress we were told that when you eat in the downstairs dining room you don’t get full service. WHAT? Why did the hostess not tell us this when asking where we wanted to dine? And why wasn’t that stated anywhere on the menu. Our waitress very kindly brought us the assistant manager who repeated what the waitress said and offered to bring us dessert to comp us for the missing bread and salads. When the waitress came back, she gave us 1 bag with ONE piece of cake for four people! And this is what we got for $222 not including tip, which we generously left because it was not the waitresses fault that we were disappointed. We won’t be returning or recommending this restaurant.

Had a dinner with my husband and son. Found the atmosphere and decor to be exactly as I remember from Carrie Cerinos. Some might find it dated now, and to be, sure it is, but personally I find it comforting and nostalgic with the personality of the past warmth so I’m glad they kept it.
Service was efficient and nothing was for want. They struck the right balance between making sure we had what we needed and leaving us to enjoy our conversation.
Food is where we differed a lot. My son had been here before and didn’t enjoy it so stuck with soup and salad. Husband chose soup as his starter. Both found it to be full of meatballs, acini di pepe and all the good stuff but the broth was bland.
My meal of short rib and polenta was tender but the short rib was a bit dry, the polenta was creamy but lacked depth of flavor. His chicken parm was thin and bready and I wouldn’t be surprised if it came right from a frozen box.
The menu has the right variety but the owner needs to hire some chefs instead of cooks and let them create good Italian dishes.
I was excited to finally try this new version of Carrie Cerinos and glad we did but it’s definitely not Cerinos. The only thing of Cerinos that remains is the decor.

After working in the service industry for many years and understanding how much can go wrong, I have a hard time writing anything negative about a restaurant. However, I can’t ignore that we spent $172 before tip (including a $58 bottle of wine) on Valentine’s Day and left feeling very disappointed.
Starting with the positives:
-The arancini appetizer was delicious.
-The bread was fantastic, although we did have to request it since it wasn’t brought out initially.
-My entrée, the stuffed gnocchi with crispy chicken, was very good.
-Our waitress was kind, apologetic, and clearly working extremely hard to manage issues that did not seem to be her fault.
Unfortunately, there were several problems with timing and food quality. Our rosemary truffle fries, which were meant to come with our entrées, arrived before my husband’s soup and were severely overcooked. My husband’s veal parmesan with white sauce pasta was genuinely not good. The breading on the veal was off, and the pasta had such a strong, unusual flavor that it wasn’t edible. The only way I can describe it is that it tasted like star anise.
There were also noticeable coordination issues. Courses came out of order, and none of our plates (appetizer, soup, bread plates, bread basket, etc.) were cleared at any point, despite visits from food runners, our waitress, and the gentleman refilling water. It created a cluttered and uncomfortable dining experience.
We observed another couple speaking with who appeared to be a manager about similar concerns. The manager later visited our table but did not ask how our meal was. It felt as though he may have already known there were issues.
Despite everything, my husband and I tried to laugh off the logistical problems and enjoy our evening. Had it not been Valentine’s Day, I likely would have addressed these concerns while we were there. The overall experience did not feel reflective of the price point, and unfortunately we would not return or recommend it.
For context, the restaurant did not appear overwhelmingly busy for a holiday. The issues seemed more related to communication, staffing, or general logistics than volume.
