Casa Romana - Leicester

We went there recently. It was absolutely terrible. It was all just slop apart from mine with fish and a couple of steaks. I have honestly never had such a dismal experience. The bruschetta consisted of unripe tomatoes with butter (hint of garlic with melted pellets of mozzarella. The gamberi barely acknowledged that it was supposed to have had prawns, the list goes on. Absolutely appalling. Would never ever go back. It honestly just looked like they’d nipped to Aldi to get ready meals! In fact, I’d prefer they had. I chose not to complain to avoid spoiling anyone else’s evening (the restaurant achieved that without any help! Honestly, they should be embarrassed to call themselves a restaurant let alone an Italian one! You’ve been warned!

We booked a table for 7pm. It took an hour for the starters to come out and another hour for the main. We had been required to pre-order so this feels excessive. Keen to get moving, I went downstairs to ask if I could settle my part of the bill, the manager was rude to me, put the bill in front of me and told me to take it to the table. Considering the time delays I would have thought people would have keen to be nice to us. 2nd time we’ve been at Christmas. 1st time was lovely, but we will never return now.

We are always blown away by the food, service and ambience here! Nothing is too much trouble. The owner and his team always make us feel so welcome. Looking forward to our next visit already!!!

Avoid, food was not great, service left a lot to be desired, starter was forgotten until we mentioned it. Paid the bill but only to avoid embarrassment, steer clear.

We have been dining happily at Casa Romana for a long time, and our last visit two days ago was excellent, just as it always has been. The lobster ravioli and Pollo Finanziera were absolutely delicious, but what made the evening so enjoyable was the warm welcome and the efficient, attentive service. Francesco and his excellent staff have helped us to celebrate important occasions and to enjoy everyday mid-week evening meals for the last 30 years or so, and without doubt, Casa Romana remains our favourite restaurant.
