Romarco’s

Romarco’s is a great place. I love the Tiki Bar in the summer especially when they have entertainment. Makes for a nice relaxing afternoon. The menu offers a little of everything. Never a bad meal. All of the staff is very accomodating.

Romarcos is a local gem! Everything is outstanding! The food is all homemade and delicious !! I frequent this restaurant on a regular basis and have never had a bad experience.

You might not think this but, in my mind, Romarcos has the belt for Delco’s best cheesesteak. They also have great filets. Seafoods always fresh and owners are very friendly.

Romarco’s is a definitely a restaurant that needs to be ventured. The remodel of the place looks excellent. Our hostess was very polite and our waitress Angel was more than outstanding. Their clams are a fantastic appetizer and their fettucini pasta and crab cakes were just as good. The atmosphere has a nice vibe to it. The only reason I wouldn’t give it 5 stars is because I wasn’t blown away. Everything was fantastic and I would highly recommend Romarco’s. 4.5 stars if I could.

Now, that’s Italian! In fact, you feel like you stepped into Italy at the small but fun place. Try the mezzaluna mozzarella and the chicken di mare.

I have lived in this area for 60 years. I wanted to experience a different neighborhood restaurant so decided to try here. Reviews were good so…
Went on a Tuesday night and we were the only one’s in the place. Not a good sign. In fact, there was not ONE other person seated after us for the hour and a half we were there.
Ordered a mixed drink and it was GREAT! No skimping on the alcohol here. How many places do you go to where you order a mix drink and you pay $ 8 and you feel like they forgot the alcohol! Here they know how to make a drink and it was only $ 4.50!!!
Unfortunately the rest of the dinner was a disappointment. I was amazed at the amount of appetizers that were on the menu. HUGE! And then the menu itself is overwhelming with choices, especially seafood. But surprised to see that for an Italian restaurant the # of pasta dishes is limited.
I ordered the calamari sauté’. Here you get a choice of fried or sauté’d. Was disappointed. It was swimming in gravy that over-​powered the delicate flavor of the calamari.
Then ordered the Alfredo Fettuccine with blackened chicken. To my dismay I HAD TO SEND IT BACK. It was so salty it was unbearable.
I was then told that blackened chicken is usually very salty… Really!!! NO.
I noticed that the people in the kitchen seemed to be all in the early 20’s. There is NO way they know what they are doing. Maybe because of a Tuesday being an off night they have them in there but it was just bad.
I will try once again on a Friday night when MAYBE the head chef is there. But I was unimpressed.
Shame since I was hoping for a new neighborhood experience. Here’s the kicker… I was with one other person and we had drinks, appetizer and ONE dinner since I sent mine back, and the bill still came to $ 67.00.

Ok so you want traditional Italian… Check… And if the menu wasn’t big enough before they have moved into a new direction with keeping the old menu intact. Now they have a new seafood menu. There new addition puts some other seafood places to shame. Wink wink clam tavern. The staff is friendly and speedy. I will definitely be back.
A must try is the mozzerela sticks (moons) and bam bam shrimp/​crab cakes.
The one thing I will say is if you have been here before and just sat down, I would recommend you make a reservation for dinner. It will get busy when the word gets out.

Quaint little dining area. Delicious food every time me and my wife go. Staff is always friendly.

My father dined at Romarco’s regularly; he often treated friends and family to a night out at Romarco’s. So when it came time to plan his funeral luncheon, we immediately thought of Romarco’s.
I was impressed by the professionalism and compassion with which the management and staff at Romarco’s treated my family. Lou made himself available to me for questions by giving me his cell number. He helped me plan the menu and allowed us to add a dish (Chicken de Mere) that’s not typically on their banquet menu.
When the day came, the food was fantastic. The first thing I noticed was that my meal was hot. At other banquets and/​or luncheons I’ve often found the food to be closer to room temperature, but my dish came out perfectly prepared, hot, and delicious. Our guests complimented us on our choice of location throughout the afternoon.
So if you’re looking to hold a luncheon after a family event, remember Romarco’s. Great food, great parking, great service. They’ll always be number one in my book!

I decided to get take out from here since the clam tavern told me they were too busy to do a take out dinner for me??? Who does that? Anyways, the inside was super cute, warm, and cozy. I will definitely be back to eat there. I got mussels in red sauce to go and they were pretty good! Not as big as the clam taverns but a decent size. They were sort of expensive at $ 9.75 but I was craving them.
Another thing that I liked was how friendly they were on the phone. Some places make you feel like you’re bothering them with takeout but they made me feel like I wanted my business. I will be back!

Last night was our first time here and it definitely will not be our last. The food was delicious and our server Kelly was great. I will be passing the word to all my family and friends that they must come here. Looking forward to out next visit.

Came here for take out, and it wasn’t that great. My penne romarco had delicious sauce, but canned mushrooms and almost no shrimp? Come on. My boy’s manicotti was flavorless, except for the tomato sauce, which was terrible. The fried pierogies were good, but not great. I do think the entrees are overpriced, but not so high that I wouldn’t pay it again for quality food. I don’t know that we’ll go back.

Stopped in here on a whim with some coworkers. I’m usually not one to ever go to Italian restaurants because they are just so dang expensive. Why is it that Italian food is so dang expensive? Anyway, we ended up getting a number of appetizers and entrees to share amongst us. I ended up getting two appetizers (which together were still cheaper than most of the entrees). I got the fried hot peppers and the buffalo chicken dip. The fried hot pepper were really disappointing. I guess I thought they would be breaded like jalapeño poppers but instead they were just fried in a ton of oil. I wasn’t really happy with them at all. On the other hand, the buffalo chicken dip was INCREDIBLE! I would definitely go back to this place just for that dip. It came with little bread rounds and was very cheesy. The flavor was just magnificent. The entrees that I tried were just fine. Nothing really blew me away for as expensive as they were but I guess that’s pretty typical for Italian places and I frankly am just not the biggest fan of Italian food.
Service was fairly good but not exceptional. The woman was very nice and attentive but clearly was very busy and they seemed a little understaffed.

Wonderful little restaurant. We were in Philly and stopped for dinner. Think Dean Martin meets Tuscan pastaria. Pasta and pizza dishes with a cozy Italian atmosphere. You’ll even see the Black Rooster

Probably will not go back. The server looked at us like we we’re crazy when we asked what the specials were. Also, the eggplant was rubbery.

For dhill/​cliffton heights this place isnt bad, the tiki bar is cool, if ur single and looking for girls, wouldnt recommend, but cheap and decent atmosphere.

Would I go back to Romarcos? HELL YES!
I’m not a big fan of such places as I don’t care for Seafood or Veal, or some of the other things they use/​have. Though I would go back because the service is good, the owners are very friendly, the pumpkin ravioli is bangin (When it’s there, seasonally) and to order the Gnocchi with blackened chicken? SOLD!
I think I could eat that every day of the week for the rest of my life. Prices aren’t as bad as some people are making it seem. Yes, it’s in Clifton Heights, but some of us in the Heights like things other than the Dollar Menu! It’s not like 8 other towns nearby can’t drive there within minutes either.
I recommend it! Especially when the back patio bar is open in the spring and summer! Good times had by all

First time there and it was very good. Our apps were fried calamari w/​marinara, perogis with sauerkraut and shrimp & crab cocktail. All were excellent. The dinner salads are good and excellent blue cheese dressing! The noccis (misspelled) with sausage were okay; the fettuccine Alfredo w/​blackened chicken was excellent and the crab cake with a side of pasta tasty. The crab cake was a very large portion. Definitely would go back. Really enjoyed the atmosphere inside.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Romarco’s the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The owner/​chef came to our table to and visited with us for a few minutes. The mussels and linguine were great and the seafood soup was outstanding. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. You won’t be disappointed

Ummm Romarco’s…you know you are in Clifton Height, right?
Ok because I was just wondering since your menu prices are from a nicer zip code (Oh don’t be insulted Clifton Heights, you know what you are)…and I wouldn’t normally mind if you paid for what you got, but alas, your food is not tasty…
We went for two appetizers and then each of us ordered a traditional italian entrée. The one app, fried mozzarella was good, though it is hard to mess up fried cheese… the other app was a mushroom stuffed with spinach and red peppers topped with blue cheese… not tasty.
Both entrees were ok and edible, but not anything special. I can’t believe I am saying this, but I have had better at the Olive Garden, and I don’t like the Olive Garden… I had the Chicken Marsala and my dude had the Veal Parm… I could have made them better… service was ok… and I had a big bug fall onto the table when we were waiting for our meals… gross…
Oh and I tried their italian brunch one time, and it was a sad offering of many egg dishes with just different italian ingredients… oh well…
