    Best way to enjoy this place is 11pm after a pretty hot day when the doors are all open and the breeze is coming in. You are already a little tipsy from listening to music and drinking nearby and you want to soak it up with some carbs to be sure you are safe for your drive home. So you and 5 other friends order three pizzas (your five other fat friends) and a salad and munch and share and make plans for the next night. Really, this is a favorite for the "late" night availability. The portions are decent and I almost always have left overs. The waiters and waitresses are like ghosts they are rarely there until you are just about to get pissed and then poooosh they arrive. Usually only three or five at most other tables are full. Seriously, I have never been here when it was crowded so I don't know how they stay open but I am glad they do.

    One of their workers was wearing a shirt that said LOOTERS and featured an owl that looked like a stereotypical black person. Not going to support a business that thinks this is in any way appropriate.

    The combo pizza is absolutely delicious. I don't know how these people manage to make pizza distinct but trust me is worth the price!

    Very first meal in New Orleans, Annie insisted we had to go check out Cafe Roma. Although it was not quite the same location as she remembered, since there are a few Cafe Roma around town from what we were told by the waitress here, it was still pretty similar in her memory. We kept circling this street corner for a few minutes, and I was sure the waitresses working there thought we were stalking, but for pete's sake we just cannot figure out how to get in here! The doors were too confusing! Once we got past our touristy moments, we quickly shuffled inside and found our seats. The menu was simple, and our order was even more so. We ordered one medium classic Margherita pizza to share; the pizza eventually arrive, which seem slow since there were but three tables of lunch guests, us included. It was just big enough to pad our stomach until our big meal at dinnertime, so overall pretty good experience.

    Wow!! I am a bit of a pizza addict and quit particular. I used my groupon today dined in and so glad, the pizza was amazing and the salad was generous. Service was quick, but I did beat the dinner rush. You can really tell they make their pizza dough fresh. Don't miss this spot! Can't wait to order to go next time!

    Had take out delivered to work tonight which was awesome. Working nights makes it difficult to get anything beyond fast food. I ordered the chicken Alfredo. Delish. Tons of chicken and the sauce wasn't overly cheesy who h is what I prefer. Definitely will order here again.

  • Amy M.

    I ordered delivery service to a very CLOSE location. The order took over an hour & a half to get the food. The fries of course were cold and rubbery by this point. I ordered the Artichoke sandwich and it was delicious but the delivery was horrible. The excuse was some people didn't show up to work. I recommend the food, just not the delivery service.

    We found this place quite by chance and were so glad we did! The food was plentiful and delicious, the service was great, and the prices were reasonable.. We arrived a little before noon and placed our order. At that point, we were almost the only ones there and I wondered if we had chosen wisely. At noon, people started to pour in! It's obviously a favorite with the locals! I enjoyed the mufaleta, my husband had the fettucini Alfredo, and our son had a Caesar chicken sandwich. Our portions were so large that all of us took a box back to our hotel where we enjoyed our leftovers for lunch the next day. Cafe Roma will definitely be on our list for a return visit when we come back to NOLA.

    This small Italian eatery is located just off Magazine street in the lower, much lower Garden District. I was here with a group of 7 and we sampled the salads and pizza for the most part. The pizza for New Orleans was not terrible, but not particularly great either. The salads were at best ok. The service was disorganized and the staff appeared overwhelmed even though it was only half full.

    These chicken wings were SO nasty! One bite and they were thrown in the trash. Man, they were really bad!

    Chicken Parmesan is not diced up chunks of grilled chicken thrown into sauce with not one iota of a scrape of Parmesan cheese or mozzarella! It's chicken in tomato broth! FAIL

    We ate here last night and will definitely keep coming back! I ordered shrimp linguine with spinach and it was fantastic. They serve a slice of pizza along with the pasta...so you can't possibly leave hungry! It was a great to find such a good Italian so close to our new home

    As long as you stick with pizza you'll have a decent experience. But, if you feel like pasta or salad, the agony of having to deal with a clueless staff member over the phone and being charged $11 instead of $3.99 for cheesy bread just isn't worth it.

  • Nikki O.

    Spaghetti is terrible! Only two meatballs and no where near enough sauce. The man taking our order was rude and hung up on my gf twice. The second gentleman who had a Spanish accent was very sweet though and the lasagna was amazing! Caesar salad was good and came with this cheese bread thing that wears delicious. Overall I would order from them again but the customer service needs to improve.

    Very good food and a relaxed atmosphere. We had the feta rolls, Cajun chicken pasta and the Creole shrimp pasta. All were very tasty! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal at a great price!

    Really not a person to gt frustrated easily. Came for lunch two weeks ago on a Wednesday. Service was really horrible. Place not busy maybe 5 tables at lunch. Could not get a drink refill even when I took my empty glass to the bar to see if I could get someone to fill it. That did not help. Food ordered for our kids ages 9 and 13 was so spicy they could not eat. Waitress who seemed to be very spaced out did not even care. I tasted it and I like spicy but even for me it was spicy. Spaghetti and Fettuccine. Pizza was over cooked and just plain bad. We had to reorder food to get the kids fed. I would not recommend. It was really terrible. I would not ever go back. Not angry just providing our experience.

    I had some bad experiences here a few years ago and decided to try it again under the new ownership. I've been really happy with them now for delivery! The margharita pizza is flat out awesome and one of the best white pizzas in town! We really enjoy the baked wings too although the blue cheese dressing needs help, it's kind of cheap. My wife loves the feta cheese rolls and all the salads, especially the walnut salad are fresh and tasty. All in all, id say this place has recovered nicely and I love the order online feature. I recommend this place as a great diver place and sincerely think ill keep ordering. The delivery has gotten much faster and friendlier for sure! If you want some Italian/pizza brought to you, try Roma!!

  • Ashley C.

    The location is cute and they were super quick with having my food ready. I got the chicken Parmesan sandwich and it tasted like a french bread pizza, so that's not great. They really missed the mark with that one. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat Cafe Roma, is what I'm saying.

  • D. L.

    If you're staying in the French Quarter, avoid all of the dodgy pizza places and have this one delivered. The pizza was excellent and don't get me started on the chocolate cake. Quick delivery too! Pick Cafe Roma for all of your pizza needs! :-)

    I place and order today at 11:05 am in hopes to have it by noon when I placed the order I instructed the lady it was to children's hospital and to come to the side by the emergency exit. She took my order and took my cell number so they can call me when here to deliver food. I waited for my food down stairs by the emergency doors so they wouldn't have to do deliver to our floor well the hour past by then another 20 mins no order I contacted the restaurant and was told driver was stuck in traffic I said okay I will give them another 10 mins. It is now 12:30 and half hour past my intended deliver time contacted restaurant and she told me the driver was stuck in traffic and if he wasn't there in 10 mins I will check with mgr or sooner to give u half of a credit. Driver finally showed up but didn't call me when he got here he passed me up and then he calls me looking for me and I say u must of passes me up and then he said okay I'm coming, he called me again and said where are you so I told him again. I told driver that if the food is Cold I wil call the mgr. As I called restaurant to tell him he was late I received a text from driver saying "YOU DIDNT NEED TO BE HATEFUL IT WASNT MY FAULT". At this point I'm really frustrated by the waiting now the disrespect from the driver so I called the restaurant and the lady didn't want to hear what I had to say because I was so upset. ALSO THE CLENCHER ALL MY FOOD WAS COLD AND I HAD NO CONDIMENTS FOR MY BURGER! I WILL MAKE SURE I LET ALL THE HOSPITAL STAFF AND FAMILIES ON THE SAME HOSPITAL FLOOR AS ME KNOW OF THIS DISRESPECT.

    Stumbled across this place on a walking tour in the garden district. Great food and very generous portions. Definitely recommend this place! Try the hummus plate. It's a meal on its own.

  • Dylan M.

    Service was pushy and and uninformed. When I ask how many inches the pizzas were the server said small/medium/large. I said I realize that but again how many inches or how many people are they recommended for. The answer was I don't know it's like dominos. Lol seriously that's your answer...learn your job. The food was average, the restaurant was empty when we were there yet the waitress rusher us to order and the smacked the bill down before we were done eating without asking if we wanted anything else. The place needs a manager and some trained staff. The food was fairly simple but good. The fact that they offer constant groupons makes it worth considering but without the reduced pricing I would go elsewhere.

    Stopped in here for a quick bite after a long afternoon. We ordered a pepperoni pizza. It was okay. I mean, what can you really do to a pepperoni pizza to make it stand out? It came quickly when we ordered and the waiter was nice and friendly.

    Ordered pizza for delivery--everything was as expected. Not mind blowing, better than reginellis for sure, not as good as magazine pizza. Delivery was very fast and the woman on the phone was very kind/patient. Price was a little startling for what was delivered. Overall, would definitely order again, but not the favorite.

    I travel alot and I always eat local when I'm staying somewhere. Pizza is one of those things you kinda take for granted. I like Dominos, Papa Johns and the Hut, but when I truly want something special, I look up the local mom and pop places to order from.... Cafe Roma has been excellent in the three separate stays I've had here in NOLA. The order arrives quickly. The pizza is top notch with its ingredients, and the crust is buttery as if they bake this hand tossed crust in butter (not sure if they do, but if thats what they do, then I can certainly tell). I order from them everytime I'm here on business and just don't feel like going out on the town. Great pizza, great service, I highly recommend Cafe Roma. caferomatuptown.com

    Café Roma.. It must be the area this place sets in, Close enough to Magazine St to be accessible, But not ON Magazine Street, so not pretentious. I like this little restaurant. The food was good, ample and the service friendly. So, a Sunday afternoon, and my wife our daughter and I pull in with a couple we were having lunch with. We were seated, immediately as the place was not busy at all. Drink orders were taken, quickly and filled as quickly. The app we ordered, after the fact, of Mozzarella Sticks was nice, Crunchy outside stretchy, gooey middle, jus what you would like for them to be. I ordered the Shrimp Linguini. Sautéed shrimp, mushrooms, fresh baby spinach, sautéed in light white wine garlic sauce, tossed with linguine. It was a nice, delightfully light dish, served with a small slice of cheese pizza which served as a nice, semi comedic stand-in for the bread with a salad on the side. My wife had the Grilled Chicken Caesar, which she like quite a bit, and said it was tasty. Our friends had The Meatball Sandwich, and the Chicken Caesar Sandwich, bot of which were HUGE, and Very Tasty by all accounts. This place is a nice, light, affordable, clean establishment. If there is a Groupon, which there is right now, buy it, the value is more than manifest in the tasty quality. Tell them the Big Easy Daddy sent you, as I need t build my rep.. ;) Stay Big, Stay Easy, and soon to be the daddy of two.. Your Big Easy Daddy

    See my previous review of the Cafe Roma in Metairie as a reference. I'm going out of my way to review this location of Cafe Roma, because they didn't give me the same crappy treatment as the one in Metairie. I explained the Metairie incident to the server and she explained that each restaurant is individually owned. I guess that means the rules are different on the same Groupon. Anywho, she accepted the Groupon, we got great service and the food was great. :-)

    It's kind of hard to find places that serve good food after 10pm so one "late" night we ordered pizza from Cafe Roma when my boyfriend lived in the neighborhood and it immediately turned into our go-to place. I don't think we have yet ventured from the cheese or pepperoni pizza because it's so good. It's really cheesy and greasy... but in a good way. I think it's one of the best pizzas in town. It seems like the dining room is always empty which doesn't make sense unless most of their customers are ashamed of how they look when they scarf down all their delicious food so they do so in the privacy of their homes. I guess that makes sense.

    So satisfied right now. Caesar salad dressing is banging. Manicotti is delicious. They deliver to the quarter. Bonus!

    My girlfriend and I stopped there around 11PM on a Saturday night. The place was completely dead and we were the only people in the restaurant, so we figured we would get a better than average meal and service, based on many of the yelp reviewers. The server was somewhat prompt and friendly, quickly taking our drink and meal orders. We were pretty hungry, so we ordered the hummus right away. It came out with some warm pita bread and a bunch of raw vegetables; the presentation left a lot to be desired, but it was decent. Then came our main course. We ordered a pepperoni pizza with roasted garlic to share; in addition I ordered a chicken Parmesan sandwich, and my girlfriend ordered the Cajun chicken pasta. And this is where positive remarks can no longer describe the experience. The pizza had a Chuck E Cheese cardboard crust that was rather unpleasant to eat. The sauce could have been good but there was so little of it, we couldn't really tell you. Pepperoni was OK, but the roasted garlic was cold (probably from a jar), tasteless, and piled high. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable for almost $20. Next, I tried the sandwich, which was not a chicken Parmesan sandwich at all, but rather some grilled chicken from the freezer section chopped up into squares on a giant French roll. Again, there was almost no marinara sauce and cheese was scarce. Another big disappointment. Finally comes the Cajun chicken pasta. I only tried a bite of the strange substance, which appeared to be comprised of the same chicken from the sandwich, an attempt at Alfredo sauce, red onions, and pickled jalepenos. It looked like something that comes out of your body, rather than something you put into it. The almost room temperature, overcooked pasta and overwhelming taste of raw onions soured my palette enough to get the check and head out ASAP. What really put the final nail in the coffin, however, was the fact that my girlfriend became sick for two days after eating there, spending a good portion of our vacation in the bathroom. I would not recommend this place to anyone who values good food or sanitation.

    The sandwiches we ordered were absolutely delicious! Chicken parmesan and Caesar sandwiches are yum and portions are gigantic, however the service is atrocious. Our waitress was friendly, but it took about 6 min for anyone to come to our table after we seated ourselves and there were only about 4 other tables of guests in the restaurant. We ordered food and drinks. It took over 15 min for water to be served! And they ran out of glasses so they served some of the drinks in solo cups. How does a restaurant that is not even 1/4 full run out of cups!? We waited over an hour for our food to be served! This is unacceptable, especially with no explanation or apology for the wait. My friend ordered a pasta and what was served was not the same as the description on the menu if the item. However, when my friend said something to waitress she resolved the situation in a timely manner by bringing a bowl of artichokes and sauce in about 5 min. I will will give the waitress some credit for being friendly and joking around, but overall the experience was not pleasant because of the lack of attentiveness and long wait time.

    Cafe Roma, you deserve better. I keep meaning to update this review because yum! After sampling some of the trashy fare this city has to offer, I keep coming back to Cafe Roma for their amazing pizza. The medium is perfect for two + breakfast left-overs, and their toppings are fantastic. No, this isn't the best pizza in the city...but at this price, it doesn't have to be. Cafe Roma's pizza is in the same range as the big names (Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut...ugh!) but much, much higher quality. Why order from one of the faceless chains when I can order from a local place and get something that tastes like real food? The restaurant space still has a slight air of "We are desperate to keep this business open", but it has relaxed over the year I've been dining in. The service has also relaxed, even though the waitresses maintain a good amount of pep. Since I live in the neighborhood, I end up walking down at least once a month. It's worth the walk. Accessibility notes: Step up into the restaurant. Narrow doorway. Tables are crowded together so very little space to navigate. No braille menu or signage. The space can get loud at peak hours. No TTY/TDD for delivery ordering, although the website offers online ordering.

    Cafe Roma is my favorite pizza place of all time. The pizza is BOMB. My sister from out of town always wants to come here. Any pizza you get will be awesome, but you can't go wrong with cheese. It's amazing. I wish I could comment on the other food, but I haven't actually tried anything else. It's really nice to sit outside when the weather is good.

    Just ordered takeout and am so impressed! Though Mardi Gras busy, both the woman on the phone and the man who delivered were super pleasant and polite! My order took longer than usual (one hour total) but was perfect. Ive ordered here before and enjoyed Cafe Roma at friend's houses, but can honestly say I didnt remember Cafe Roma being this good! My pizza was cooked perfectly, with fresh vegetable toppings diced like I love! The pizza was just, perfect. The crust is thinner so its not all you taste, but not so thin its crispy either. There was enough cheese to enjoy, but not greasy and didnt leave you feeling bloated and nasty either. The hummus comes with fresh tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, black olives and super delicious pita. The serving of hummus was so large, I was surprised by the weight of the container! Also, as silly as it sounds, I also enjoy that you can order online (I had to call to ask a question which is why I spoke to the woman mentioned above). Impersonal perhaps, but sometimes you're hungry, tired, and with bad cell phone reception, just dont feel like talking on the phone.

  • Brian C.

    There are very few restaurants that deliver in the Lower Garden District, so despite having heard bad things I decided to order a pizza from Cafe Roma for delivery at about 9:00 PM on a Sunday night when there were virtually no options (and it was Cinco de Mayo so everything seemed more jammed than usual). Eventually the pizza arrived around 10:15 PM and I hve to say that it was amazingly bland and nondescript. The crust was medium thickness and completely devoid of any flavor much less adding texture. I couldn't taste the tomato sauce at all and the toppings were not great plus they were incredibly sparse. In full disclosure, I haven't eaten at the restaurant so I can't comment on the overall experience but after this delivered pizza I don't ever plan to set foot in this place. They advertise homemade dough and the "highest quality ingredients" but I would honestly rather have pizza on Bourbon Street than eat from Cafe Roma again. And that's saying a lot.

  • Mark G.

    Really irritated for the fact that I just waited over an hour for the delivery for a pizza they say they don't make. Apparently you cannot simply go by what their menu says. To make things worse I ordered a pasta dish that was $6.95 on menu to be charged over $13 for it when they decided just to bring me that and not the pizza I ordered. No apology from them and they made no attempt to make things right. Now I'm left really hungry and really cranky.

    Cafe Roma Update They have cleaned the place up quite a bit since my last review. The pizzas are always good and the Cesar salad is outstanding. Beer selection is still very limited. Parking is chancy. All-in-all, we are occasionally dining here again. The problem about which I complained has been improved. Rick

  • Lindsay A.

    Café Roma gets a huge bump for delivering food to my house. The first time I ate here, I was underwhelmed to say the least. Most of the staff was busy doing their homework or something to serve the group of thirty I was with that night. The food was OK, but nothing to write home about. However, Café Roma totally redeemed themselves when they delivered food that both me and my parents could eat at 9pm after a long day of walking around the city. My dad enjoyed his spaghetti and salad, and my mom and I were pleased with our pizza. I actually feel like they provide better service in their delivery than they do with people dining in. In the actual restaurant I had to ask for things like napkins and silverware and they provide everything I need when they bring it to my door. Overall: Order delivery for solid food brought to you - 4 stars Don't waste your time eating in - 2 stars (go down Magazine for better food)

    The spinach sandwich I had from Cafe Roma deserves five stars all to itself. It was just delicious, cheesy, oniony, garlicky win, even if my wife didn't let me kiss her until I'd brushed my teeth several times afterward. Guys, it was worth it. Apart from that, Cafe Roma has my little pizza-eating heart because of several facts: -Their vegetarian options (like the aforementioned spinach sandwich) are real options! Their spinach pizza is a thing of beauty, and when you add feta cheese to their pesto artichoke pizza, it's perfection. -Chocolate seduction cake. It deserves the name, let's leave it at that. -They deliver! Helpful hint: their online ordering system doesn't recognize credit card info, so even if you've dutifully filled in all the little boxes, they'll still have to call you and ask for your credit card info over the phone. HOWEVER! If you simply include it in the special request box on checkout, they'll be able to bypass this step, ensuring that you get your pizza even faster. How cool is that!

    The meal was a little underwhelming, though it was not bad and the prices, particularly for the huge sandwiches, are fair. We made the mistake of walking here from the French Quarter because I did not properly evaluate the scale on the map I was looking at; it took about forty minutes and I think that soured me a bit. The place was nicer than I expected though.

    I had the shrimp and linguini delivered to my hotel yesterday and it was hot and soooo good. The alleged French bread was a slice of cheese pizza. *side eye*. I assume they ran out of French bread?

  • Jill S.

    There's nothing great or bad about this place. Airy, open dining room, decent menu of pizzas and sandwiches including some veggie options. Their sandwiches come on french bread, and they are HUGE. Seriously just get a box with your order, I can't imagine finishing one. The downside is no sides are included, but the hummus plate and fries were definitely enough to share. I wouldn't seek Cafe Roma out, but if it's convenient and you're hungry, it's a nice spot.

  • Molly M.

    We have ordered from them many times on Sundays. The food is OK - they make their own bread - however, delivery can take a long time and in the past we've been charged a double delivery fee for multiple orders going to one address, which is annoying. I ordered the veggie spinach sandwich yesterday, which was okay, but they forgot to include the garlic dipping sauce that allegedly comes with the sandwich. Overall, middling to disappointing depending on the day, but as one of the only sandwich delivery places in the Irish channel, you have to go with what you got. Next time, I'm sticking to the salads.

    I just had the Margherita Pizza $11.50&up Order Slices of ripe tomato topped with fresh basil, olive oil, oregano and Parmigiana cheese. and wow, that was a good pizza.... exceeded my expectations... will definitely be back... nice atmosphere as well... can't wait to take the lady out for some wine and pie... :)

  • Kal C.

    The waiter knows me whenever I walk in there and asks me how I'm doing and actually LISTENS and chats. Sometimes it's months before I go back and he still remembers me. The feta cheese rolls are the reason I kept coming back. One time they ran out and I told him I was disappointed because I was craving them so badly. He said, "Hold on...let me see what I can do for you." A worker ran to some market and they told me it would be like 10 minutes extra, but they made them for me and they were as awesome as ever! Everything is yummy, but I don't care for the eggplant sandwich. Not my thing. I advise you to NOT get it. I miss this place and it was a treat to pop in and know that I was about to get some awesome, affordable food. It's also nice to go to Coliseum Park, especially when they do movie-viewing on the big screen and you can walk there with a box of leftovers and snack out.

    Was visiting New Orleans for 4 days. We were extremely tired one night, so we ordered in. Had a meat pizza from Cafe Roma delivered. It took about 1 hour due to Mardi Gras parades had alot of the streets closed off. Best pizza I have ever had. It was so cheesy and not greasy at all. Definitely will eat there again!

  • Stella A.

    Man oh man! where do I start? I was just in NO for about 4 days and discovered Cafe Roma on my last full day there. Hands down the best pasta I HAVE EVER HAD in my life. I strongly suggest the Cajun Chicken. I was so full but kept willing myself to eat more. The portion was large and could feed about 3 people. I raved so much about it that I think my friend got annoyed with me. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive to us. Kinda tough to locate the place though. But trust me, it's all worth it.

    My mom and I were walking around looking for a quick eat. I found cafe Roma. It looked suspicious because no one was there. But you can't judge a book by its cover. We got a casar salad which was really good and better then most I have eaten. We got a barbecue chicken pizza which was really good. The food came quickly which was great. Pizza was perfect. If your not a big cheese person ask for light cheese which helped my pizza taste better. The service was good and they were very nice. food was great you should definitely go.

    I am updating to note that: 1) We always order from the one in Metairie so I suppose my review should really be with them. 2) I fantasize about that spinach lasagne in the worst way.

    We are on a mission to try every restaurant in our neighborhood. We had yet to try Cafe Roma so we went and were surprised to see the place empty at 5:30 on a Friday. We stood at the door to be seated and the staff totally ignored us. Three of the staff looked up and made eye contact but not a soul said a word or made any movement towards us. So after this cold reception we went around the corner to another restaurant we had not tried. IT was packed and the meal was excellent! So we thank you for that it least!

    Day 3 of our trip to NOLA, we were feeling pretty tired from all the constant eating and drinking, so we decided to stay in the hotel and order a pizza. Online ordering was super easy, but apparently the online credit card system was down. But the woman who called me about it was super nice and sent the pizza right away even though I didn't have my card with me at that time. Delivery was prompt and the man was very nice. The pizza was good and the salad came with... a slice of pizza! Hah!

    This place was my gf's favorite dining establishment when she lived in the garden district during her summer of research. This time around, we ordered delivery in our hotel room and the guy got it there fast! They have a tremendous spinach, feta, garlic sauce sandwich on fresh french bread. The artichoke sandwich was great too. I have never had another like that before. I can't comment on the pizza, but the sandwiches are fantastic. For 7-8 bucks it's a good change of pace from the fried, heavy food of NOLA.

    I placed an order and was given a delivery time of 1.5 hours. I called over 1.5 hours later to check on the status or the order, and was told it would be an additional 1.5 hours. The person on the phone was incredibly rude to me. I asked to cancel my order, because at this point, it was already well after when we expected the food to be delivered, and the person hung up the phone. I am extremely disappointed in the experience I had with Cafe Roma. I advise anyone considering giving Cafe Roma your business to not do so. We ended up at Slice, and it was really great. Great food and service, exponentially better than our experience with Cafe Roma.

    This place is one of those "you get what you pay for" places...but in a good way. I've had a lot of things on their menu and I have liked everything. It was not very expensive so I say it is good because the food is worth just a little more than the price. I would definitely recomment this place for any ocassion, as I have gone there for every ocassion (dates, munchies, family dinners, delivery, pick up.) I would have to say this place is like cheap gourmet pizza joint, again, you get what you pay for and I keep paying for it cuz I like it. I like their greek salad and the sandwiches.

  • John R.

    We ate at this restaurant and were not disappointed at all. Extremely friendly service..thanks Latisha....and very good food. Ordered pizza, sandwiches, and pasta, and all of the dishes and pies were very good. Very reasonable priced as well and the size of the sandwich was very large and a good value for the price. Our only complaint, and it is minor, is that the service was on the slower side. However, i think that was indicative of the fact that only 2 people were servicing the entire restaurant. A hint to the manager/owners....have a couple more people working the floor and you'll have more satisfied patrons and possibly turn the tables quicker, allowing your waitstaff to make more money.

    Serving up Italian-style fare, another favorite nearby spot is Cafe Roma. If you like pizza, then you'll love their gourmet pizza offerings. But I prefer to get the grilled Chicken caesar salad and sandwich, their take on the muffuletta, and some of their other sandwiches. I love their bread - not quite French bread - but chewy and deliciously crunchy on the outside. I normally order ahead and cruise by to pick it up, even though Cafe Roma delivers. The prices are great, the food is pretty good and they have a nice sized bar and a very decent dining room with movie posters, many in Italian, lining the walls. Yet, Cafe Roma is nearly empty every time I go (mostly around lunch time), though I hear it has a decent amount of delivery business. Another good neighborhood spot to walk to for a nice lunch, especially since the weather recently has been gorgeous.

    I've been eating Cafe Roma pizza pretty much ever since I can remember. It's the formative brick oven pizza in my mind. I think their white pizza / garlic bread is the best EVER, and I think the first time I had any toppings besides pepperoni was their spinach & feta pie.

  • bryan l.

    This place is IT. Although I have rarely ordered anything other than the spinach sandwich, the place wins hands down on that alone. Their pizzas rock too. Their breads melt in your mouth, and the greek seasonings will titillate your tastebuds. Enjoy with a cold Abita Turbo Dog. Keep up the good work, Haluk.

    We found this place quite by chance and were so glad we did! The food was plentiful and delicious, the service was great, and the prices were reasonable.. We arrived a little before noon and placed our order. At that point, we were almost the only ones there and I wondered if we had chosen wisely. At noon, people started to pour in! It's obviously a favorite with the locals! I enjoyed the mufaleta, my husband had the fettucini Alfredo, and our son had a Caesar chicken sandwich. Our portions were so large that all of us took a box back to our hotel where we enjoyed our leftovers for lunch the next day. Cafe Roma will definitely be on our list for a return visit when we come back to NOLA.

    I travel alot and I always eat local when I'm staying somewhere. Pizza is one of those things you kinda take for granted. I like Dominos, Papa Johns and the Hut, but when I truly want something special, I look up the local mom and pop places to order from.... Cafe Roma has been excellent in the three separate stays I've had here in NOLA. The order arrives quickly. The pizza is top notch with its ingredients, and the crust is buttery as if they bake this hand tossed crust in butter (not sure if they do, but if thats what they do, then I can certainly tell). I order from them everytime I'm here on business and just don't feel like going out on the town. Great pizza, great service, I highly recommend Cafe Roma. caferomatuptown.com

    Café Roma.. It must be the area this place sets in, Close enough to Magazine St to be accessible, But not ON Magazine Street, so not pretentious. I like this little restaurant. The food was good, ample and the service friendly. So, a Sunday afternoon, and my wife our daughter and I pull in with a couple we were having lunch with. We were seated, immediately as the place was not busy at all. Drink orders were taken, quickly and filled as quickly. The app we ordered, after the fact, of Mozzarella Sticks was nice, Crunchy outside stretchy, gooey middle, jus what you would like for them to be. I ordered the Shrimp Linguini. Sautéed shrimp, mushrooms, fresh baby spinach, sautéed in light white wine garlic sauce, tossed with linguine. It was a nice, delightfully light dish, served with a small slice of cheese pizza which served as a nice, semi comedic stand-in for the bread with a salad on the side. My wife had the Grilled Chicken Caesar, which she like quite a bit, and said it was tasty. Our friends had The Meatball Sandwich, and the Chicken Caesar Sandwich, bot of which were HUGE, and Very Tasty by all accounts. This place is a nice, light, affordable, clean establishment. If there is a Groupon, which there is right now, buy it, the value is more than manifest in the tasty quality. Tell them the Big Easy Daddy sent you, as I need t build my rep.. ;) Stay Big, Stay Easy, and soon to be the daddy of two.. Your Big Easy Daddy

    See my previous review of the Cafe Roma in Metairie as a reference. I'm going out of my way to review this location of Cafe Roma, because they didn't give me the same crappy treatment as the one in Metairie. I explained the Metairie incident to the server and she explained that each restaurant is individually owned. I guess that means the rules are different on the same Groupon. Anywho, she accepted the Groupon, we got great service and the food was great. :-)

    Spaghetti is terrible! Only two meatballs and no where near enough sauce. The man taking our order was rude and hung up on my gf twice. The second gentleman who had a Spanish accent was very sweet though and the lasagna was amazing! Caesar salad was good and came with this cheese bread thing that wears delicious. Overall I would order from them again but the customer service needs to improve.

    If you're staying in the French Quarter, avoid all of the dodgy pizza places and have this one delivered. The pizza was excellent and don't get me started on the chocolate cake. Quick delivery too! Pick Cafe Roma for all of your pizza needs! :-)

    Very first meal in New Orleans, Annie insisted we had to go check out Cafe Roma. Although it was not quite the same location as she remembered, since there are a few Cafe Roma around town from what we were told by the waitress here, it was still pretty similar in her memory. We kept circling this street corner for a few minutes, and I was sure the waitresses working there thought we were stalking, but for pete's sake we just cannot figure out how to get in here! The doors were too confusing! Once we got past our touristy moments, we quickly shuffled inside and found our seats. The menu was simple, and our order was even more so. We ordered one medium classic Margherita pizza to share; the pizza eventually arrive, which seem slow since there were but three tables of lunch guests, us included. It was just big enough to pad our stomach until our big meal at dinnertime, so overall pretty good experience.

    Wow!! I am a bit of a pizza addict and quit particular. I used my groupon today dined in and so glad, the pizza was amazing and the salad was generous.

    Best way to enjoy this place is 11pm after a pretty hot day when the doors are all open and the breeze is coming in. You are already a little tipsy from listening to music and drinking nearby and you want to soak it up with some carbs to be sure you are safe for your drive home. So you and 5 other friends order three pizzas (your five other fat friends) and a salad and munch and share and make plans for the next night. Really, this is a favorite for the "late" night availability. The portions are decent and I almost always have left overs. The waiters and waitresses are like ghosts they are rarely there until you are just about to get pissed and then poooosh they arrive. Usually only three or five at most other tables are full. Seriously, I have never been here when it was crowded so I don't know how they stay open but I am glad they do.

    This small Italian eatery is located just off Magazine street in the lower, much lower Garden District. I was here with a group of 7 and we sampled the salads and pizza for the most part.

The service was disorganized and the staff appeared overwhelmed even though it was only half full.

    As long as you stick with pizza you'll have a decent experience. But, if you feel like pasta or salad, the agony of having to deal with a clueless staff member over the phone and being charged $11 instead of $3.99 for cheesy bread just isn't worth it.

    Really not a person to gt frustrated easily. Came for lunch two weeks ago on a Wednesday. Service was really horrible. Place not busy maybe 5 tables at lunch. Could not get a drink refill even when I took my empty glass to the bar to see if I could get someone to fill it. That did not help. Food ordered for our kids ages 9 and 13 was so spicy they could not eat. Waitress who seemed to be very spaced out did not even care. I tasted it and I like spicy but even for me it was spicy. Spaghetti and Fettuccine. Pizza was over cooked and just plain bad. We had to reorder food to get the kids fed. I would not recommend. It was really terrible. I would not ever go back. Not angry just providing our experience.

    I had some bad experiences here a few years ago and decided to try it again under the new ownership. I've been really happy with them now for delivery! The margharita pizza is flat out awesome and one of the best white pizzas in town! We really enjoy the baked wings too although the blue cheese dressing needs help, it's kind of cheap. My wife loves the feta cheese rolls and all the salads, especially the walnut salad are fresh and tasty. All in all, id say this place has recovered nicely and I love the order online feature. I recommend this place as a great diver place and sincerely think ill keep ordering. The delivery has gotten much faster and friendlier for sure! If you want some Italian/pizza brought to you, try Roma!!

    I wish I could give this place zero stars. I ordered meatballs and spaghetti over the weekend and the dish looked perfect when I first opened it up. I removed the two meatballs from the plate to cut them up and noticed that a yellowish oily liquid had pooled in the indentations the meatballs had left in the pasta. I pushed the spaghetti to one side to see where the liquid was coming from. I found nearly a cup of the cloudy liquid at the bottom of the container. It totally turned my stomach and I lost my appetite for the food. I called for a refund and the lady who answered told me that she had never heard of anything like that happening. She was very rude and said it as if I had made the story up. Then she told me that I could not get a refund until Monday when a manager was in. I ended up throwing the food away and ordering from a different restaurant. I called Cafe Roma today to check on my refund and the manager said that they only issue refunds on the day of the purchase. I was told that I could only get a credit for the amount of the food I ordered. Why the hell would I want a credit when I plan to never order from Café Roma again? I ignored the negative reviews of this place when I first looked it up looking for Italian food. I guess I learned my lesson. Never again.

    The location is cute and they were super quick with having my food ready. I got the chicken Parmesan sandwich and it tasted like a french bread pizza, so that's not great. They really missed the mark with that one. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat Cafe Roma, is what I'm saying.

    I place and order today at 11:05 am in hopes to have it by noon when I placed the order I instructed the lady it was to children's hospital and to come to the side by the emergency exit. She took my order and took my cell number so they can call me when here to deliver food. I waited for my food down stairs by the emergency doors so they wouldn't have to do deliver to our floor well the hour past by then another 20 mins no order I contacted the restaurant and was told driver was stuck in traffic I said okay I will give them another 10 mins. It is now 12:30 and half hour past my intended deliver time contacted restaurant and she told me the driver was stuck in traffic and if he wasn't there in 10 mins I will check with mgr or sooner to give u half of a credit. Driver finally showed up but didn't call me when he got here he passed me up and then he calls me looking for me and I say u must of passes me up and then he said okay I'm coming, he called me again and said where are you so I told him again. I told driver that if the food is Cold I wil call the mgr. As I called restaurant to tell him he was late I received a text from driver saying "YOU DIDNT NEED TO BE HATEFUL IT WASNT MY FAULT". At this point I'm really frustrated by the waiting now the disrespect from the driver so I called the restaurant and the lady didn't want to hear what I had to say because I was so upset. ALSO THE CLENCHER ALL MY FOOD WAS COLD AND I HAD NO CONDIMENTS FOR MY BURGER! I WILL MAKE SURE I LET ALL THE HOSPITAL STAFF AND FAMILIES ON THE SAME HOSPITAL FLOOR AS ME KNOW OF THIS DISRESPECT.

    Service was pushy and and uninformed. When I ask how many inches the pizzas were the server said small/medium/large. I said I realize that but again how many inches or how many people are they recommended for. The answer was I don't know it's like dominos. Lol seriously that's your answer...learn your job. The food was average, the restaurant was empty when we were there yet the waitress rusher us to order and the smacked the bill down before we were done eating without asking if we wanted anything else. The place needs a manager and some trained staff. The food was fairly simple but good. The fact that they offer constant groupons makes it worth considering but without the reduced pricing I would go elsewhere.

    Ordered pizza for delivery--everything was as expected. Not mind blowing, better than reginellis for sure, not as good as magazine pizza.

    I ordered delivery service to a very CLOSE location. The order took over an hour & a half to get the food. The fries of course were cold and rubbery by this point.

    My girlfriend and I stopped there around 11PM on a Saturday night. The place was completely dead and we were the only people in the restaurant, so we figured we would get a better than average meal and service, based on many of the yelp reviewers. The server was somewhat prompt and friendly, quickly taking our drink and meal orders. We were pretty hungry, so we ordered the hummus right away. It came out with some warm pita bread and a bunch of raw vegetables; the presentation left a lot to be desired, but it was decent. Then came our main course. We ordered a pepperoni pizza with roasted garlic to share; in addition I ordered a chicken Parmesan sandwich, and my girlfriend ordered the Cajun chicken pasta. And this is where positive remarks can no longer describe the experience. The pizza had a Chuck E Cheese cardboard crust that was rather unpleasant to eat. The sauce could have been good but there was so little of it, we couldn't really tell you. Pepperoni was OK, but the roasted garlic was cold (probably from a jar), tasteless, and piled high. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable for almost $20. Next, I tried the sandwich, which was not a chicken Parmesan sandwich at all, but rather some grilled chicken from the freezer section chopped up into squares on a giant French roll. Again, there was almost no marinara sauce and cheese was scarce. Another big disappointment. Finally comes the Cajun chicken pasta. I only tried a bite of the strange substance, which appeared to be comprised of the same chicken from the sandwich, an attempt at Alfredo sauce, red onions, and pickled jalepenos. It looked like something that comes out of your body, rather than something you put into it. The almost room temperature, overcooked pasta and overwhelming taste of raw onions soured my palette enough to get the check and head out ASAP. What really put the final nail in the coffin, however, was the fact that my girlfriend became sick for two days after eating there, spending a good portion of our vacation in the bathroom. I would not recommend this place to anyone who values good food or sanitation.

    The sandwiches we ordered were absolutely delicious! Chicken parmesan and Caesar sandwiches are yum and portions are gigantic, however the service is atrocious. Our waitress was friendly, but it took about 6 min for anyone to come to our table after we seated ourselves and there were only about 4 other tables of guests in the restaurant. We ordered food and drinks. It took over 15 min for water to be served! And they ran out of glasses so they served some of the drinks in solo cups. How does a restaurant that is not even 1/4 full run out of cups!? We waited over an hour for our food to be served! This is unacceptable, especially with no explanation or apology for the wait. My friend ordered a pasta and what was served was not the same as the description on the menu if the item. However, when my friend said something to waitress she resolved the situation in a timely manner by bringing a bowl of artichokes and sauce in about 5 min. I will will give the waitress some credit for being friendly and joking around, but overall the experience was not pleasant because of the lack of attentiveness and long wait time.

    It's kind of hard to find places that serve good food after 10pm so one "late" night we ordered pizza from Cafe Roma when my boyfriend lived in the neighborhood and it immediately turned into our go-to place. I don't think we have yet ventured from the cheese or pepperoni pizza because it's so good. It's really cheesy and greasy... but in a good way. I think it's one of the best pizzas in town. It seems like the dining room is always empty which doesn't make sense unless most of their customers are ashamed of how they look when they scarf down all their delicious food so they do so in the privacy of their homes. I guess that makes sense.

    Cafe Roma, you deserve better. I keep meaning to update this review because yum! After sampling some of the trashy fare this city has to offer, I keep coming back to Cafe Roma for their amazing pizza. The medium is perfect for two + breakfast left-overs, and their toppings are fantastic. No, this isn't the best pizza in the city...but at this price, it doesn't have to be. Cafe Roma's pizza is in the same range as the big names (Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut...ugh!) but much, much higher quality. Why order from one of the faceless chains when I can order from a local place and get something that tastes like real food? The restaurant space still has a slight air of "We are desperate to keep this business open", but it has relaxed over the year I've been dining in. The service has also relaxed, even though the waitresses maintain a good amount of pep. Since I live in the neighborhood, I end up walking down at least once a month. It's worth the walk. Accessibility notes: Step up into the restaurant. Narrow doorway. Tables are crowded together so very little space to navigate. No braille menu or signage. The space can get loud at peak hours. No TTY/TDD for delivery ordering, although the website offers online ordering.

    Spaghetti is terrible! Only two meatballs and no where near enough sauce. The man taking our order was rude and hung up on my gf twice. The second gentleman who had a Spanish accent was very sweet though and the lasagna was amazing! Caesar salad was good and came with this cheese bread thing that wears delicious. Overall I would order from them again but the customer service needs to improve.

    Very good food and a relaxed atmosphere. We had the feta rolls, Cajun chicken pasta and the Creole shrimp pasta. All were very tasty! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal at a great price!

    Really not a person to gt frustrated easily. Came for lunch two weeks ago on a Wednesday. Service was really horrible. Place not busy maybe 5 tables at lunch. Could not get a drink refill even when I took my empty glass to the bar to see if I could get someone to fill it. That did not help. Food ordered for our kids ages 9 and 13 was so spicy they could not eat. Waitress who seemed to be very spaced out did not even care. I tasted it and I like spicy but even for me it was spicy. Spaghetti and Fettuccine. Pizza was over cooked and just plain bad. We had to reorder food to get the kids fed. I would not recommend. It was really terrible. I would not ever go back. Not angry just providing our experience.

    I had some bad experiences here a few years ago and decided to try it again under the new ownership. I've been really happy with them now for delivery! The margharita pizza is flat out awesome and one of the best white pizzas in town! We really enjoy the baked wings too although the blue cheese dressing needs help, it's kind of cheap. My wife loves the feta cheese rolls and all the salads, especially the walnut salad are fresh and tasty. All in all, id say this place has recovered nicely and I love the order online feature. I recommend this place as a great diver place and sincerely think ill keep ordering. The delivery has gotten much faster and friendlier for sure! If you want some Italian/pizza brought to you, try Roma!!

    The location is cute and they were super quick with having my food ready. I got the chicken Parmesan sandwich and it tasted like a french bread pizza, so that's not great. They really missed the mark with that one. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat Cafe Roma, is what I'm saying.

    If you're staying in the French Quarter, avoid all of the dodgy pizza places and have this one delivered. The pizza was excellent and don't get me started on the chocolate cake. Quick delivery too! Pick Cafe Roma for all of your pizza needs! :-)

    I place and order today at 11:05 am in hopes to have it by noon when I placed the order I instructed the lady it was to children's hospital and to come to the side by the emergency exit. She took my order and took my cell number so they can call me when here to deliver food. I waited for my food down stairs by the emergency doors so they wouldn't have to do deliver to our floor well the hour past by then another 20 mins no order I contacted the restaurant and was told driver was stuck in traffic I said okay I will give them another 10 mins. It is now 12:30 and half hour past my intended deliver time contacted restaurant and she told me the driver was stuck in traffic and if he wasn't there in 10 mins I will check with mgr or sooner to give u half of a credit. Driver finally showed up but didn't call me when he got here he passed me up and then he calls me looking for me and I say u must of passes me up and then he said okay I'm coming, he called me again and said where are you so I told him again. I told driver that if the food is Cold I wil call the mgr. As I called restaurant to tell him he was late I received a text from driver saying "YOU DIDNT NEED TO BE HATEFUL IT WASNT MY FAULT". At this point I'm really frustrated by the waiting now the disrespect from the driver so I called the restaurant and the lady didn't want to hear what I had to say because I was so upset. ALSO THE CLENCHER ALL MY FOOD WAS COLD AND I HAD NO CONDIMENTS FOR MY BURGER! I WILL MAKE SURE I LET ALL THE HOSPITAL STAFF AND FAMILIES ON THE SAME HOSPITAL FLOOR AS ME KNOW OF THIS DISRESPECT.

    Service was pushy and and uninformed. When I ask how many inches the pizzas were the server said small/medium/large. I said I realize that but again how many inches or how many people are they recommended for. The answer was I don't know it's like dominos. Lol seriously that's your answer...learn your job. The food was average, the restaurant was empty when we were there yet the waitress rusher us to order and the smacked the bill down before we were done eating without asking if we wanted anything else. The place needs a manager and some trained staff. The food was fairly simple but good. The fact that they offer constant groupons makes it worth considering but without the reduced pricing I would go elsewhere.

    Ordered pizza for delivery--everything was as expected. Not mind blowing, better than reginellis for sure, not as good as magazine pizza. Delivery was very fast and the woman on the phone was very kind/patient. Price was a little startling for what was delivered. Overall, would definitely order again, but not the favorite.

    Very first meal in New Orleans, Annie insisted we had to go check out Cafe Roma. Although it was not quite the same location as she remembered, since there are a few Cafe Roma around town from what we were told by the waitress here, it was still pretty similar in her memory. We kept circling this street corner for a few minutes, and I was sure the waitresses working there thought we were stalking, but for pete's sake we just cannot figure out how to get in here! The doors were too confusing! Once we got past our touristy moments, we quickly shuffled inside and found our seats. The menu was simple, and our order was even more so. We ordered one medium classic Margherita pizza to share; the pizza eventually arrive, which seem slow since there were but three tables of lunch guests, us included. It was just big enough to pad our stomach until our big meal at dinnertime, so overall pretty good experience.

    Wow!! I am a bit of a pizza addict and quit particular. I used my groupon today dined in and so glad, the pizza was amazing and the salad was generous.

    Had take out delivered to work tonight which was awesome. Working nights makes it difficult to get anything beyond fast food. I ordered the chicken Alfredo. Delish. Tons of chicken and the sauce wasn't overly cheesy who h is what I prefer. Definitely will order here again.

    I ordered delivery service to a very CLOSE location. The order took over an hour & a half to get the food. The fries of course were cold and rubbery by this point. I ordered the Artichoke sandwich and it was delicious but the delivery was horrible. The excuse was some people didn't show up to work. I recommend the food, just not the delivery service.

    We found this place quite by chance and were so glad we did! The food was plentiful and delicious, the service was great, and the prices were reasonable.. We arrived a little before noon and placed our order. At that point, we were almost the only ones there and I wondered if we had chosen wisely. At noon, people started to pour in! It's obviously a favorite with the locals! I enjoyed the mufaleta, my husband had the fettucini Alfredo, and our son had a Caesar chicken sandwich. Our portions were so large that all of us took a box back to our hotel where we enjoyed our leftovers for lunch the next day. Cafe Roma will definitely be on our list for a return visit when we come back to NOLA.

    I travel alot and I always eat local when I'm staying somewhere. Pizza is one of those things you kinda take for granted. I like Dominos, Papa Johns and the Hut, but when I truly want something special, I look up the local mom and pop places to order from.... Cafe Roma has been excellent in the three separate stays I've had here in NOLA. The order arrives quickly. The pizza is top notch with its ingredients, and the crust is buttery as if they bake this hand tossed crust in butter (not sure if they do, but if thats what they do, then I can certainly tell). I order from them everytime I'm here on business and just don't feel like going out on the town. Great pizza, great service, I highly recommend Cafe Roma. caferomatuptown.com

    Café Roma.. It must be the area this place sets in, Close enough to Magazine St to be accessible, But not ON Magazine Street, so not pretentious. I like this little restaurant. The food was good, ample and the service friendly. So, a Sunday afternoon, and my wife our daughter and I pull in with a couple we were having lunch with. We were seated, immediately as the place was not busy at all. Drink orders were taken, quickly and filled as quickly. The app we ordered, after the fact, of Mozzarella Sticks was nice, Crunchy outside stretchy, gooey middle, jus what you would like for them to be. I ordered the Shrimp Linguini. Sautéed shrimp, mushrooms, fresh baby spinach, sautéed in light white wine garlic sauce, tossed with linguine. It was a nice, delightfully light dish, served with a small slice of cheese pizza which served as a nice, semi comedic stand-in for the bread with a salad on the side. My wife had the Grilled Chicken Caesar, which she like quite a bit, and said it was tasty. Our friends had The Meatball Sandwich, and the Chicken Caesar Sandwich, bot of which were HUGE, and Very Tasty by all accounts. This place is a nice, light, affordable, clean establishment. If there is a Groupon, which there is right now, buy it, the value is more than manifest in the tasty quality. Tell them the Big Easy Daddy sent you, as I need t build my rep.. ;) Stay Big, Stay Easy, and soon to be the daddy of two.. Your Big Easy Daddy

    See my previous review of the Cafe Roma in Metairie as a reference. I'm going out of my way to review this location of Cafe Roma, because they didn't give me the same crappy treatment as the one in Metairie. I explained the Metairie incident to the server and she explained that each restaurant is individually owned. I guess that means the rules are different on the same Groupon. Anywho, she accepted the Groupon, we got great service and the food was great. :-)

    It's kind of hard to find places that serve good food after 10pm so one "late" night we ordered pizza from Cafe Roma when my boyfriend lived in the neighborhood and it immediately turned into our go-to place. I don't think we have yet ventured from the cheese or pepperoni pizza because it's so good. It's really cheesy and greasy... but in a good way. I think it's one of the best pizzas in town. It seems like the dining room is always empty which doesn't make sense unless most of their customers are ashamed of how they look when they scarf down all their delicious food so they do so in the privacy of their homes. I guess that makes sense.

    My girlfriend and I stopped there around 11PM on a Saturday night. The place was completely dead and we were the only people in the restaurant, so we figured we would get a better than average meal and service, based on many of the yelp reviewers. The server was somewhat prompt and friendly, quickly taking our drink and meal orders. We were pretty hungry, so we ordered the hummus right away. It came out with some warm pita bread and a bunch of raw vegetables; the presentation left a lot to be desired, but it was decent. Then came our main course. We ordered a pepperoni pizza with roasted garlic to share; in addition I ordered a chicken Parmesan sandwich, and my girlfriend ordered the Cajun chicken pasta. And this is where positive remarks can no longer describe the experience. The pizza had a Chuck E Cheese cardboard crust that was rather unpleasant to eat. The sauce could have been good but there was so little of it, we couldn't really tell you. Pepperoni was OK, but the roasted garlic was cold (probably from a jar), tasteless, and piled high. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable for almost $20. Next, I tried the sandwich, which was not a chicken Parmesan sandwich at all, but rather some grilled chicken from the freezer section chopped up into squares on a giant French roll. Again, there was almost no marinara sauce and cheese was scarce. Another big disappointment. Finally comes the Cajun chicken pasta. I only tried a bite of the strange substance, which appeared to be comprised of the same chicken from the sandwich, an attempt at Alfredo sauce, red onions, and pickled jalepenos. It looked like something that comes out of your body, rather than something you put into it. The almost room temperature, overcooked pasta and overwhelming taste of raw onions soured my palette enough to get the check and head out ASAP. What really put the final nail in the coffin, however, was the fact that my girlfriend became sick for two days after eating there, spending a good portion of our vacation in the bathroom. I would not recommend this place to anyone who values good food or sanitation.

    The sandwiches we ordered were absolutely delicious! Chicken parmesan and Caesar sandwiches are yum and portions are gigantic, however the service is atrocious. Our waitress was friendly, but it took about 6 min for anyone to come to our table after we seated ourselves and there were only about 4 other tables of guests in the restaurant. We ordered food and drinks. It took over 15 min for water to be served! And they ran out of glasses so they served some of the drinks in solo cups. How does a restaurant that is not even 1/4 full run out of cups!? We waited over an hour for our food to be served! This is unacceptable, especially with no explanation or apology for the wait. My friend ordered a pasta and what was served was not the same as the description on the menu if the item. However, when my friend said something to waitress she resolved the situation in a timely manner by bringing a bowl of artichokes and sauce in about 5 min. I will will give the waitress some credit for being friendly and joking around, but overall the experience was not pleasant because of the lack of attentiveness and long wait time.

    Cafe Roma, you deserve better. I keep meaning to update this review because yum! After sampling some of the trashy fare this city has to offer, I keep coming back to Cafe Roma for their amazing pizza. The medium is perfect for two + breakfast left-overs, and their toppings are fantastic. No, this isn't the best pizza in the city...but at this price, it doesn't have to be. Cafe Roma's pizza is in the same range as the big names (Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut...ugh!) but much, much higher quality. Why order from one of the faceless chains when I can order from a local place and get something that tastes like real food? The restaurant space still has a slight air of "We are desperate to keep this business open", but it has relaxed over the year I've been dining in. The service has also relaxed, even though the waitresses maintain a good amount of pep. Since I live in the neighborhood, I end up walking down at least once a month. It's worth the walk. Accessibility notes: Step up into the restaurant. Narrow doorway. Tables are crowded together so very little space to navigate. No braille menu or signage. The space can get loud at peak hours. No TTY/TDD for delivery ordering, although the website offers online ordering.

    Cafe Roma is my favorite pizza place of all time. The pizza is BOMB. My sister from out of town always wants to come here. Any pizza you get will be awesome, but you can't go wrong with cheese. It's amazing. I wish I could comment on the other food, but I haven't actually tried anything else. It's really nice to sit outside when the weather is good.

    Just ordered takeout and am so impressed! Though Mardi Gras busy, both the woman on the phone and the man who delivered were super pleasant and polite! My order took longer than usual (one hour total) but was perfect. Ive ordered here before and enjoyed Cafe Roma at friend's houses, but can honestly say I didnt remember Cafe Roma being this good! My pizza was cooked perfectly, with fresh vegetable toppings diced like I love! The pizza was just, perfect. The crust is thinner so its not all you taste, but not so thin its crispy either. There was enough cheese to enjoy, but not greasy and didnt leave you feeling bloated and nasty either. The hummus comes with fresh tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, black olives and super delicious pita. The serving of hummus was so large, I was surprised by the weight of the container! Also, as silly as it sounds, I also enjoy that you can order online (I had to call to ask a question which is why I spoke to the woman mentioned above). Impersonal perhaps, but sometimes you're hungry, tired, and with bad cell phone reception, just dont feel like talking on the phone.

  • Brian C.

    There are very few restaurants that deliver in the Lower Garden District, so despite having heard bad things I decided to order a pizza from Cafe Roma for delivery at about 9:00 PM on a Sunday night when there were virtually no options (and it was Cinco de Mayo so everything seemed more jammed than usual). Eventually the pizza arrived around 10:15 PM and I hve to say that it was amazingly bland and nondescript. The crust was medium thickness and completely devoid of any flavor much less adding texture. I couldn't taste the tomato sauce at all and the toppings were not great plus they were incredibly sparse. In full disclosure, I haven't eaten at the restaurant so I can't comment on the overall experience but after this delivered pizza I don't ever plan to set foot in this place. They advertise homemade dough and the "highest quality ingredients" but I would honestly rather have pizza on Bourbon Street than eat from Cafe Roma again. And that's saying a lot.

  • Mark G.

    Really irritated for the fact that I just waited over an hour for the delivery for a pizza they say they don't make. Apparently you cannot simply go by what their menu says. To make things worse I ordered a pasta dish that was $6.95 on menu to be charged over $13 for it when they decided just to bring me that and not the pizza I ordered. No apology from them and they made no attempt to make things right. Now I'm left really hungry and really cranky.

    Cafe Roma Update They have cleaned the place up quite a bit since my last review. The pizzas are always good and the Cesar salad is outstanding. Beer selection is still very limited. Parking is chancy. All-in-all, we are occasionally dining here again. The problem about which I complained has been improved. Rick

    Café Roma gets a huge bump for delivering food to my house. The first time I ate here, I was underwhelmed to say the least. Most of the staff was busy doing their homework or something to serve the group of thirty I was with that night. The food was OK, but nothing to write home about. However, Café Roma totally redeemed themselves when they delivered food that both me and my parents could eat at 9pm after a long day of walking around the city. My dad enjoyed his spaghetti and salad, and my mom and I were pleased with our pizza. I actually feel like they provide better service in their delivery than they do with people dining in. In the actual restaurant I had to ask for things like napkins and silverware and they provide everything I need when they bring it to my door. Overall: Order delivery for solid food brought to you - 4 stars Don't waste your time eating in - 2 stars (go down Magazine for better food)

    The spinach sandwich I had from Cafe Roma deserves five stars all to itself. It was just delicious, cheesy, oniony, garlicky win, even if my wife didn't let me kiss her until I'd brushed my teeth several times afterward. Guys, it was worth it. Apart from that, Cafe Roma has my little pizza-eating heart because of several facts: -Their vegetarian options (like the aforementioned spinach sandwich) are real options! Their spinach pizza is a thing of beauty, and when you add feta cheese to their pesto artichoke pizza, it's perfection. -Chocolate seduction cake. It deserves the name, let's leave it at that. -They deliver! Helpful hint: their online ordering system doesn't recognize credit card info, so even if you've dutifully filled in all the little boxes, they'll still have to call you and ask for your credit card info over the phone. HOWEVER! If you simply include it in the special request box on checkout, they'll be able to bypass this step, ensuring that you get your pizza even faster. How cool is that!

    The meal was a little underwhelming, though it was not bad and the prices, particularly for the huge sandwiches, are fair. We made the mistake of walking here from the French Quarter because I did not properly evaluate the scale on the map I was looking at; it took about forty minutes and I think that soured me a bit. The place was nicer than I expected though.

    I had the shrimp and linguini delivered to my hotel yesterday and it was hot and soooo good. The alleged French bread was a slice of cheese pizza. *side eye*. I assume they ran out of French bread?

  • Jill S.

    There's nothing great or bad about this place. Airy, open dining room, decent menu of pizzas and sandwiches including some veggie options. Their sandwiches come on french bread, and they are HUGE. Seriously just get a box with your order, I can't imagine finishing one. The downside is no sides are included, but the hummus plate and fries were definitely enough to share. I wouldn't seek Cafe Roma out, but if it's convenient and you're hungry, it's a nice spot.

  • Molly M.

    We have ordered from them many times on Sundays. The food is OK - they make their own bread - however, delivery can take a long time and in the past we've been charged a double delivery fee for multiple orders going to one address, which is annoying. I ordered the veggie spinach sandwich yesterday, which was okay, but they forgot to include the garlic dipping sauce that allegedly comes with the sandwich. Overall, middling to disappointing depending on the day, but as one of the only sandwich delivery places in the Irish channel, you have to go with what you got. Next time, I'm sticking to the salads.

  • Kal C.

    The waiter knows me whenever I walk in there and asks me how I'm doing and actually LISTENS and chats. Sometimes it's months before I go back and he still remembers me. The feta cheese rolls are the reason I kept coming back. One time they ran out and I told him I was disappointed because I was craving them so badly. He said, "Hold on...let me see what I can do for you." A worker ran to some market and they told me it would be like 10 minutes extra, but they made them for me and they were as awesome as ever! Everything is yummy, but I don't care for the eggplant sandwich. Not my thing. I advise you to NOT get it. I miss this place and it was a treat to pop in and know that I was about to get some awesome, affordable food. It's also nice to go to Coliseum Park, especially when they do movie-viewing on the big screen and you can walk there with a box of leftovers and snack out.

    Was visiting New Orleans for 4 days. We were extremely tired one night, so we ordered in. Had a meat pizza from Cafe Roma delivered. It took about 1 hour due to Mardi Gras parades had alot of the streets closed off. Best pizza I have ever had. It was so cheesy and not greasy at all. Definitely will eat there again!

  • Stella A.

    Man oh man! where do I start? I was just in NO for about 4 days and discovered Cafe Roma on my last full day there. Hands down the best pasta I HAVE EVER HAD in my life. I strongly suggest the Cajun Chicken. I was so full but kept willing myself to eat more. The portion was large and could feed about 3 people. I raved so much about it that I think my friend got annoyed with me. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive to us. Kinda tough to locate the place though. But trust me, it's all worth it.

    My mom and I were walking around looking for a quick eat. I found cafe Roma. It looked suspicious because no one was there. But you can't judge a book by its cover. We got a casar salad which was really good and better then most I have eaten. We got a barbecue chicken pizza which was really good. The food came quickly which was great. Pizza was perfect. If your not a big cheese person ask for light cheese which helped my pizza taste better. The service was good and they were very nice. food was great you should definitely go.

    We are on a mission to try every restaurant in our neighborhood. We had yet to try Cafe Roma so we went and were surprised to see the place empty at 5:30 on a Friday. We stood at the door to be seated and the staff totally ignored us. Three of the staff looked up and made eye contact but not a soul said a word or made any movement towards us. So after this cold reception we went around the corner to another restaurant we had not tried. IT was packed and the meal was excellent! So we thank you for that it least!

    Day 3 of our trip to NOLA, we were feeling pretty tired from all the constant eating and drinking, so we decided to stay in the hotel and order a pizza. Online ordering was super easy, but apparently the online credit card system was down. But the woman who called me about it was super nice and sent the pizza right away even though I didn't have my card with me at that time. Delivery was prompt and the man was very nice. The pizza was good and the salad came with... a slice of pizza! Hah!

    This place was my gf's favorite dining establishment when she lived in the garden district during her summer of research. This time around, we ordered delivery in our hotel room and the guy got it there fast! They have a tremendous spinach, feta, garlic sauce sandwich on fresh french bread. The artichoke sandwich was great too. I have never had another like that before. I can't comment on the pizza, but the sandwiches are fantastic. For 7-8 bucks it's a good change of pace from the fried, heavy food of NOLA.

    I placed an order and was given a delivery time of 1.5 hours. I called over 1.5 hours later to check on the status or the order, and was told it would be an additional 1.5 hours. The person on the phone was incredibly rude to me. I asked to cancel my order, because at this point, it was already well after when we expected the food to be delivered, and the person hung up the phone. I am extremely disappointed in the experience I had with Cafe Roma. I advise anyone considering giving Cafe Roma your business to not do so. We ended up at Slice, and it was really great. Great food and service, exponentially better than our experience with Cafe Roma.

    This place is one of those "you get what you pay for" places...but in a good way. I've had a lot of things on their menu and I have liked everything. It was not very expensive so I say it is good because the food is worth just a little more than the price. I would definitely recomment this place for any ocassion, as I have gone there for every ocassion (dates, munchies, family dinners, delivery, pick up.) I would have to say this place is like cheap gourmet pizza joint, again, you get what you pay for and I keep paying for it cuz I like it. I like their greek salad and the sandwiches.

  • John R.

    We ate at this restaurant and were not disappointed at all. Extremely friendly service..thanks Latisha....and very good food. Ordered pizza, sandwiches, and pasta, and all of the dishes and pies were very good. Very reasonable priced as well and the size of the sandwich was very large and a good value for the price. Our only complaint, and it is minor, is that the service was on the slower side. However, i think that was indicative of the fact that only 2 people were servicing the entire restaurant. A hint to the manager/owners....have a couple more people working the floor and you'll have more satisfied patrons and possibly turn the tables quicker, allowing your waitstaff to make more money.

    Serving up Italian-style fare, another favorite nearby spot is Cafe Roma. If you like pizza, then you'll love their gourmet pizza offerings. But I prefer to get the grilled Chicken caesar salad and sandwich, their take on the muffuletta, and some of their other sandwiches. I love their bread - not quite French bread - but chewy and deliciously crunchy on the outside. I normally order ahead and cruise by to pick it up, even though Cafe Roma delivers. The prices are great, the food is pretty good and they have a nice sized bar and a very decent dining room with movie posters, many in Italian, lining the walls. Yet, Cafe Roma is nearly empty every time I go (mostly around lunch time), though I hear it has a decent amount of delivery business. Another good neighborhood spot to walk to for a nice lunch, especially since the weather recently has been gorgeous.

    Best pizza I've had in new Orleans and they deliver and they don't screw up your order.

    I've been eating Cafe Roma pizza pretty much ever since I can remember. It's the formative brick oven pizza in my mind. I think their white pizza / garlic bread is the best EVER, and I think the first time I had any toppings besides pepperoni was their spinach & feta pie.

    I ordered from here during mardi gras so i was just happy to be getting some food. I got a pasta dish...it said it came with angel hair but then i got spagetti so that was kind of disappointing. Overall, it's ok.

    This place is IT. Although I have rarely ordered anything other than the spinach sandwich, the place wins hands down on that alone. Their pizzas rock too. Their breads melt in your mouth, and the greek seasonings will titillate your tastebuds. Enjoy with a cold Abita Turbo Dog. Keep up the good work, Haluk.

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.

Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
