I must say I am amazed that this restaurant would be rated as number one. I have had the opportunity to eat here on several business lunch occasions and I have yet to find anything I would call delicious or exceptional. It's just plain Italian food with very few choices and the atmosphere is so cold and uninviting. The portions... More

It's been a few years since I last reviewed Cafe Roma, and because many restaurants invariably change over time, I figured I'd give an update from my last visit. Roma's food, service, and atmosphere continue to be excellent. Except for some menu changes, it is every bit as good as it was the first time I dined there. My wife... More

Looking for the best sweet potato fries and dipping sauce ever? This is your place... not to mention, my favorite chicken salad sandwich! Perfect lunch spot or have a romantic dinner here!

I had heard fantastic things about Cafe Roma, so I was disappointed when I experienced it for myself. The menu was limited, with very few pasta choices for my idea of an Italian restaurant. Wine list was extensive, though! Staff was friendly, service was good. The restaurant was classy, but let's face it... I go to restaurants for good food,... More

This was our second visit while passing through Cleveland, TN. We enjoyed Cafe Roma so much the first time, we decided to return and boy, that was the right decision. The service was really outstanding. Our waiter, Whitney, remembered us from our visit a month earlier and was most attentive. We shared the appetizer special and I had the pork... More

On our way back to Toronto from doing the Robert Trent Jones Trail we decided to stop overnight in Cleveland because of convenient location. Read the Trip Advisor reviews of Cafe Roma and decided to check it out. Busy with lots of locals doing pre Thanksgiving family dinners. Food was good but not spectacular. Servers were great. Whitney told us... More

Not familiar with this area, I checked Tripadvisor for some 'advise'. We were on our motorcycle and it was a bit cold. I wanted some hot soup to start with. Well Cafe Roma delivered. We started our meal with some great soup to warm us up. We were there for lunch so we had a sandwich. It was very good.... More
