From the crispy Crocchette Di Patate to the savory Veal Marsala Wine Sauce, each dish was bursting with flavor and made with the highest quality ingredients.

Tucked away in the east end lies a dazzling new treasure that’ll whisk you back in time with its vintage charm. This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a full-on experience, oozing old-school cool while dishing out homemade plates that hit all the right spots. Don’t let its unassuming facade fool you; step inside and you’re greeted with a menu that’s as expansive as it is enticing, wrapped in an ambiance that screams Tony Roma’s Niagara tourist trap—but trust me, this gem flips the script in the best way possible. My taste buds still dance thinking about the tagliatelle tangled with juicy chicken, plump shrimp, and a pesto that packs a punch—seriously, do yourself a favor and order it. Marco, the maestro of hospitality, welcomes you like family, all warmth and smiles. And just when you think it can’t get better, the espressos swoop in to seal the deal: one spiked with velvety Baileys, the other kissed by fiery Sambuca—pure liquid poetry, exactly what the soul craves.
Authentic Italian food. Ordered a mixed fish plate, it was 58 so I was a bit worried about it. But when the plate arrived, I was surprised how good it is! Such a sizable dish, you would need to pay 98 for it elsewhere. Pizza was nice too. Love the food there. If the staff were more enthusiastic and professional, it would be even better.
This place deserves more love! Our server was so warm and welcoming, too bad we forgot to asked his name. Everything he recommended was spot on, the calamari with pesto sauce 10/10, the tiramisu is the best I have tasted. The pasta was cooked beautifully! The atmosphere was great, didn’t feel like we are on a rush to leave.
Absolutely amazing experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a great meal. I tried the grilled calamari and tiramisu, and both were outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service, especially from Mitu, was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back with family and friends!
La Roma is the perfect place for a cozy and authentic Italian restaurant. It has a warm and lovely decor and soft music. We tried the "Antipasto Della Casa" which is very delicious. It’s a beautiful platter with fresh, high-quality meats, cheeses, and vegetables. The arancini were crispy and flavorful, and the roasted peppers and olives added a perfect touch. Everything was arranged so nicely, and the taste was amazing. Great food, great ambiance, and excellent service. Highly recommend La Roma for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Italian food!
A new gem in Leslieville, *La Roma Piccolo*, caught my attention, so I decided to try their food. The staff were very attentive, and the owner was welcoming and friendly. There were four of us: my wife, two of my kids, and I. I had a fungi salad, my wife had a Caprese, and my two sons shared fried calamari and bruschetta as starters. For the mains, we had the seafood combo, grilled salmon, and a Capricciosa pizza. All the dishes were elegantly presented and tasted truly authentic Italian. I will definitely be back.
Very cute little trattoria. When we arrived the restaurant was empty. Menu is quite large so wasn’t sure what we would get for quality on a Monday - but the Minestrone soup was wonderful. You could tell the veggies etc were all hand chopped and it was homemade. The Greek salad was well presented and tasty and my wife really liked the pizza. Overall solid value for tasty food in a really cute neighbourhood resto.
We walked in and we’re greeted by the server and he was so lovely and personable, we were the only people in there but we had a fantastic meal service was fast friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommend coming here for some great Italian comfort food and excellent service, we were even given a complimentary shot by the lovely man! 10/10 would go again x
