Since 1980, the Rizzo family at Café Roma has been dedicated to preparing classic Italian cuisine with only the freshest and highest quality natural ingredients. The lasagnas, raviolis, tortellonis, and canellonis are all homemade the old way—as are the sauces, soups, and stocks. Only the best beef, poultry, and seafood make it on the menu and the award-winning wine list and full cocktail bar is sure to please.
