Rotolo’s

I visited Rotolo’s with family members who live in Houma. I’m live in Texas and we popped in for a bite. I thought it was great food for the price and we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. I loved the LSU artwork and décor.

The restaurant is very cute. I enjoyed sitting down here and eating my pizza. The nice thing was that they were willing to make a me a non menu item. I ordered the Buffalo chicken pizza. It was tasty but a little heavy on the Buffalo sauce on the chicken. Would I return? Yes Is the pizza really really good? No, but it’s worth a few trips.

If I could give no stars I would. There is a major fly issue in this establishment. Not only were there flys on the walls and in the bathroom, but we found a fly in the container of cheese sitting on our table. Service wasn’t the best. Sat down and decided on what we wanted to eat before even getting asked what we wanted to drink. First and last time visiting the Rotolo’s of Houma.

The food here is pretty good. The service is very slow and the wait staff is not terribly friendly. There are usually lots of employees standing around talking and laughing but we usually have to actually wave and motion to them to come over to our table. Drink refills? Good luck. The location is good and we will probably be back because of the food.

The pizza is good, especially considering your other options in Houma right now, but I’d get it to go for awhile. In the hour or so we were there, our waitress only came by to take our order, bring us our food and our check. She never checked on us or offered to refill our drinks, and she didn’t really offer up a hint of friendliness or personality. But she didn’t look too busy either, and spent a lot of time hanging out by the counter staring into space. We ordered beers and they took about 20 minutes to come to the table. I ordered a salad and they delivered it at the same time as our pizza, so I had to move some things onto the window ledge beside us so everything would fit on our small two-​person table. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed that the salad would come first, because when I complained about it to my boyfriend the manager nearby overheard and asked us some questions about our service and if I’d asked the waitress for my salad to come first. I’m glad he’s trying to make things better there but it’s a little weird to let the guests know you’re listening in on their conversations. I don’t think I was expecting too much from this place, just the same level of service competency you’d get at another chain sit-​down restaurant like Chili’s. But! The pizza is good compared to the other options we have in town, so if that’s what you’re after, you’re in luck! But I’d recommend you get take out. That’s probably what we’ll do from now on.
