The Risotto is hard is crunchy on the outside But the inside is mush. It's an OK flavored mush but not the kind of thing I want to eat. My husband had the chicken Alfredo it was fairly disappointing not very much Flavor to it and The noodles were a bit too mushy.
My husband ended up using all of the green bits from the risotto and tossing most of it in his dish to bring more flavor to it.
I had the Italian Parma it was good for the most part. There were some chewy bits in the chicken that I didn't really care for but most of it was OK. The noodles were on the verge of being overdone but not quite.
The place was quite Very peaceful.
Was not feeling the best that night after the food.

New menu with great choices. The palm ceviche was awesome. Also had the lobster couscous and it was great. Had the basil and whiskey sour cocktails and they were awesome as well. I like the new look and feel definitely a spot I will be back too.

Having gone to Romano's Restaurant for many years before it closed for remodeling and other things, we were a little anxious about our first revisit since their reopening.
I am happy to say that Romano's is better than ever. Every item we ordered was outstanding. Romano's has a half and half menu which allows you to get smaller portions of an appetizer or starter coupled with a smaller portion of one of their entrees for a fixed price. We tried the hummus which was exceptional, the spanakopita which was as good as ever, and their Greek salad which is unchanged from before, also tremendous. Our entrees were the chicken alfredo which was one of the better Alfredo's we've had, and something called lobster couscous which was amazing. The lobster was not rubbery or hard, it was tender and it's flavor was throughout the entire dish. The kernels of corn in the dish were crisp, not overcooked, and definitely fresh.
We needed doggie bags but wanted to try their honey cake which is about 10 layers of a very thin cake interspersed with layers of a cream filling--really outstanding. We actually asked if they sold the cakes whole (they do, as a special order).
The prices are a bit higher than before, but the food is well worth the trip. We will be back often.

I came here for a Door Dash pickup and thought it looked so nice and the menu looked super nice. Then the server wanted me to take his tips because the food wasn't ready yet, which of course I refused, but he was the sweetest ever and rushed the order to me promptly.

Remodeled and reopened. Several new menu items such as cerviche and duck wings for appetizers. Same great Greek salad with homemade yogurt dressing.
