"When we arrived we found the place empty, which usually is not a good sign, but we decided to stay nevertheless because of the reviews. It was the best decision we have possibly made, the owner went above and beyond in making us feel at home. Eating at Terrace Roma is the closest you can get to eat in Italy without being actually there. The food prepared at the moment, from scratch, not reheated a la Olive Garden , cooked by the owner himself, and like the authentic Italian restaurant, it takes its time, so if you 're in a rush, this is not your place. This is the restaurant where you come to enjoy a long intimate moment with your family or friends, to have a conversation, to laugh and be merry, so relax and drink your wine while the aromas of the kitchen permeates the room with hints of garlic and basil. The reason the place was empty that night was because they were preparing for a big party later. I guess we were lucky the owner decided to receive us and prepare us such a delicious dinner. Alessandro, thank you very much for everything, we really enjoyed our time at your restaurant, we hope to visit you again sooner than later. Grazie mille!"
