Reviews For Bar Roma

The food was absolutely amazing and worth the price! The squid ink pasta/fettuccini Isabella had such a refreshing yet rich seafood flavor, reminding me of a good seafood broil condensed in pasta form, garnished with juicy shrimps, scallops, and mussels that are cooked to a tender perfection. The Yachtin in capri cocktail tasted like an elegant summery lemon drop. Will definitely come back to try more food! The atmosphere and service were amazing too!

I enjoyed my meal here. The menu is uncomplicated yet diverse. I had the oxtail pasta and an appetizer of fried calamari and shrimp. The meal was tasty and satisfying for what one would want from an Italian cafe at this price point. The patio seating is a wonderful place to sit amongst flowers and greenery on a warm sunny day.

The house-made pasta is delicious! Full stop. We had the Cacio e Pepe, the Lasagna, and the special, which was a chicken sausage Alfredo. The cocktails were seasonal and also very good. Excellent Italian wine selection.

We had a date night at this place, and we both really enjoyed the food as well as the ambiance of the place. We spent a few hours at this place and had the grande burrata for appetizers and cavatelli and Vitello Francese for the main courses, and unlike other's we licked our plates clean. It was a pleasant experienc, and I would definitely come back to try more dishes.

I have been wanting to do here ever since I moved into the area 1.5 years ago. This space was special to me as it has previously been my favorite restaurant in all of Chicago, Atlantique. When that place closed down I was very sad and hoped something great would take its place. I'm not sure if Bar Roma was the immediate replacement but this was so good! I went for happy hour as the menu looked pretty damn good. Their full menu looks great as well. I started with the cocktail special which was very tasty. They brought bread out, which I didn't expect, and it was amazing! Warm, crunchy crust and so soft. The oil and Parmesan cheese plate was so good! Then had the meatball which was amazing, very big plate for a happy hour dish. Then I had the breaded shrimp and this you too was great! I wanted to order the mussels but was already very full. Had their white wine which was good. The space is great! Really love what they did with it. The bartender was very nice. Definitely will return. Need to try the full menu next time.
