"east coast ingenial. eating here today was one of the best culinary surprises I had for a long time. the decoration of the place is very east coast of fiiliale cut off from ital and randomly with baseball, military and police and fire pics, along with sport toys and the always present picture of tony soprano, al pacino, all the godfather occupation and many other Italian icons scream. many places try to copy this, but it simply comes as a cheesy. this place gives the very authentic feeling. it brings me back to some of my favorite places in baltimore, philly, providence or even north jersey. now the important part that eat. I will first throw out the fact that I didn't try the pizza. I feel like you do that, it's juicy to pass on the dead for the first time when I dive here, but I wanted pasta. I had the fetuciini cosa nostra. this is a wet, thin sauce with fresh tomato-choed, basilikum and garlic. That was so damn good. the basilikum was very forward with hard tastes of the tomatoes and made the garlic subtle and background music, but made it noticeable. it was so good. it could have been made before an hour in my garden. remember that this is not a Tuscan or Sicilian style. this is a new York/New jersey pizza and pasta shopfront. they make a lot of their own ingredients, but it is not artisan inspired cuisine this is just up gravy and makkaroni, which are so hard to find past I-95. I'll update this as soon as I have the pizza. the only change that I would make is the music. You need classic rock on such a location floyd, boston, eddie money or, I dare to say, travel."

"Second visit here, and was truly looking forward to it. Our first visit was many months ago since we don 't live near the restaurant. We had found their pizza and Caprese salad delicious, so we wanted to explore more of their menu. We arrived around 5pm last Friday to find the restaurant not very busy, but this was on since -like many places- they appeared to be short-staffed. In fact, a manager ended up being our server for the evening. Fresh baked bread slathered with garlic butter was promptly brought out while we perused the menu. My wife ordered Chicken Piccata and I decided on the Chicken Marsala. We each got a Caesar 's Salad as well. As we were finishing our salads, the manager/server apologetically informed us that she had mistakenly forgotten to put our order into the kitchen, and that our meals would be a bit longer coming out. We shrugged it off, as this would give us time to digest the large salads. About 20 minutes later our food was brought out, fresh and hot. Her Chicken Piccata was tasty and 'mostly ' tender from her description. However, the chicken breast in my Marsala dish was tough as leather. I could tell it was cooked too hot and too fast. The Marsala sauce was more like a mushroom gravy, nothing like a Marsala wine sauce. When the manager/server checked on us, asking me if the sauce was ok, I let her know that my chicken was too tough to chew. She asked me again about the sauce, admitting they had to doctor it up from being too salty earlier in the day. I told her it was alright, but reiterated that my chicken was too tough to chew. She replied that she would bring us some to-go boxes soon. She never once replied to my statement about the tough chicken, not offered a replacement or discounted bill. We 'll have to reconsider visiting Roma Mia a third time since NOTHING was done to correct the ONE issue I had with the place. Four days later my leftovers are still in the fridge waiting to be thrown out. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"
