Reviews for Cafe Roma in San Luis Obispo, CA
Incredibly delicious food. We celebrated my fathers birthday and had the absolute best time. Wonderful family run business with... so much class. It’s like stepping into Tuscany! Read more
Always excellent — both food and service. On this visit my wife and I both had the sand dabs and they were perfect. We started... with the Insalata Cafe Roma, which we love and order every time we go. Read more
We arrived there almost by chance and we were lucky because we enjoyed an excellent dinner in an elegant and welcoming... environment. The owner, of Italian origin, made us feel at home but, above all, the dishes and the wine he suggested wereexcellent. I recommend anyone in San Luis Obispo to go to Café Roma because they won't be disappointed. Read more
We went with another couple and dinner and conversation was lovely. My husband tried the soup, a lovely tomato potato bisque and... I had the beet salad. Both were very good. Our friend tried the Mahi Mahi special served with roasted potatoes which was so goodshe finished it all. Her husband had thin spaghetti with bolognese sauce that he enjoyed as well. My husband had chicken withpotatoes and carrots. He said it was moist and very well cooked. I had squash Ravioli with white sauce that was perfect. Wehad a creme brulee and canolli for dessert. Our waitress was very friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. It will be a go tospot. Read more
Great food, one of the best local family run restaurants. Favorite place for special occasions and when friends and family... visit. Read more
Osso buco was tender and had good taste. However, the risotto was a little too mushy for MY taste. The halibut special was very... very good, all in all a complete plate. I’ve had better gnocchi than what we tried, with both the pasta and sauce failing tomeet our standards. Egg parm also missed the mark. Despite this, the redeeming factor ended up being dessert. The creme brûléewas perfectly balanced. The trio of gelato was bit too frozen but still good. The chocolate tartuffo was a 10/10. Read more
Excellent experience! The food was great, atmosphere was comfortable, and the service was outstanding. Would recommend Cafe Roma... for any special occasions. Price's are a little high, but the all around quality represents why. Read more
I don't normally leave reviews but Cafe Roma was notably underwhelming. I ordered the salmon. It was cooked okay but severely... lacking in flavor: no herbs, no lemon, not even salt and pepper. I dont cook, but wanted to prove even I could do better. I wentto Vons and purchased a salmon portion, some fresh rosemary, cilantro, salt, pepper and lemon. I was shocked that my amateursalmon I cooked in foil in the oven was better than theirs. They also must have run out of basil substituting arugula in thecaprese. I also tried my friend's pasta dish, and it was indistinguishable from anything I've made using sauce that comes inbottles and pasta noodles in bags purchased at any grocery store. $14 mule consisting of mostly ice. The waitress was nice andreplaced it without charge, I will give them that. But for a place with above average prices, I wouldn't expect below averagefood. Read more
