Roma View Catering

I just had my engagement party at Roma View and it was amazing! I wanted to keep my party small so I had the smallest room downstairs for my 60 guests. The décor was beautiful and classy in the newly renovated room. The staff was very friendly and professional. They helped me with things I had asked for like an extra table for a photo booth station I had made and wanted for my props. They were a great help with everything and worked quickly. My fiancé and I got the ultimate buffet package and the food was displayed very nicely. It was white glove service which was very nice for my guests. The food tasted excellent and many people raved about the baked clams. We also had an open bar and a great bar tender making drinks and serving our friends and I shots. We had a blast ! Our Maitre’D didn’t help us out much. He was kind and professional, but could have done more for my guests to help run everything a bit more smoothly. However, all in all, Roma view was a spectacular place to have my engagement party. I highly recommend for your next event!

Love Roma View! ! It has a beautiful view of the marina. Amazing food. The service is amazing! ! I had lots of parties at Roma View. I Keap coming back because ther is no other catering hall that beats it! Angela has always ran my parties and always ran so smoothly. I never had to ask for a drink because it was always was refilled. She makes sure that the party runs smoothly. I had my daughter’s Christening party and her communion party and my 2 boys communion parties at Roma View and have recommended Roma View to all my family and friends and they have never been disappointed. They only had great things to say and kept coming back. My niece is going to have her sweet sixteen in September and I can’t wait to see the the entire staff again. They are so welcoming !! I can’t wait to party again in Roma View. It feels like family. Very warm feeling when I walk into Roma View! I Highly recommend having your parties at Roma View Catering Hall. Great for all occasions! !

Got married here 5÷23÷15. We had 85 guests and they all had a great time. It took a couple of conversations with one of their wedding planners (before the wedding) to get the service we wanted/​expected, but once that was squared away, the party was great.
We had the wedding package. It is a great value, tons of good food and the service was good. The Maitre D’ was excellent. Only problem on the day of the wedding was that the bartender had a tip jar out and I asked for it to be taken down and gave her a huge tip (too big, but was trying to make a point).
Good value, good food, planning can be a bit challenging if you do not have the right person, but well worth it.

Still no word back from anyone here… the valet staff might have been in cahoots with locals after cars were parked… so park your own cars and take valuables out… take your keys… staff were unhelpful… our car was robbed

Last night I hosted an engagement party for my daughter Sara and her fiancé Todd. It was incredible!!! The service was magnificent! Our maitreD Angela ran the party so smoothly. She was so attentive to me and all my guests and her wait staff was the best. We never had to ask for anything. When our glasses were almost empty we had another drink in front of us. The room was beautiful and spacious. The food was so delicious especially the chicken francese and bake clams. The tortellini Alfredo was the best I ever had.
Lia, our banquet manager was so good she recommended the DJ and photo booth vendor and I am so glad I took her advice. They were the best!
I had so many people compliment and rave about this party I can’t stress that enough. I felt so good about choosing this place. I will definitely have another party there. If you are looking for a place to have any type of party book it here you will be so happy you did. I highly recommend it. Thank you Roma view for best party ever!

My family has had many affairs at Roma view and they are never a disappointment. Food, service, décor! Its all there… you can put your trust in Roma view catering in Howard beach. They also put extra attention to your special requests. Thank you especially to Angela! My favorite matrade.

Beautiful establishment, Great food and service. Pleasant, professional staff. Willing to work with any budget. Roma View will make your event Glamorous!

This location was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. We were seated in the larger of the rooms, which was beautifully decorated, elegant table décor and not to mention the view! We had a beautiful large window that faced the bay… excellent for picture taking. Not to mention the kids loved watching the boats passing by every now and then. The entire staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Definitely a place to have a memorable party. I highly recommend it!

Pretty good place to have a banquet or party. Service was excellent. Food was pretty darn good. The veal was a bit over cooked but beef always is on a buffet. The doorman was supper helpful. Valet parking was a plus. Everything was clean and updated. Had to do a lot of tipping over the course of the evening. Must have gone through 50 singles in 3 hours.

Im a fan. Not that I would ever return because I live in a different state. But it was good. I gave it four stars and not the five because there is room for improvement. So to the next caterers who have it they will get the full five.
The food was delicioso! They had eggplant parm, chicken cutlet, fettucine alfredo, bread and salad that was out of the world. The food alone got the 4 stars. Its a decently staffed place with valet, and a coat hang up section. The only critique I can make about the staff is that they were all young kids.
There was enough parking space, but its left for the valet so one doesn’t have to worry about finding parking. It was clean. Spacious enough in the one room which is dead straight to the back when you first enter the building by walking up the stairs. The VJ or MIC-​guy was energetic and great for the kids Im not sure if he came with Roma view, or the soung people. But it has the potential for a good time at this place.

After going to a few events in the past and my mother having my father’s retirement party here a few years back my now husband and I were convinced this was the right place for our wedding.
We met originally with Kathy for our original booking but everything there after we worked with Eric. Both Kathy and Eric were very professional, helpful and genuinely nice people. Eric was excellent at answering all our questions and helping to solve any problems we had.
We couldn’t afford their wedding packages so they were willing to do one of their premium dinner packages with some of the wedding amenities. It was nice being able to make those little changes and tweaks, other catering halls wouldn’t make those changes for us. I felt like they were willing to do anything to make sure we had the special day we wanted. We received a price that worked for us and the service and quality of food we received was worth so much more than we paid!
They have 3 different sized rooms to choose from, all of which have a dance floor. We had the Rhapsodie Room (their largest room) and my goodness was it gorgeous. We had a beautiful view of the water which made our day feel just a little more romantic when we saw a flock of swans swimming on the water (not their doing, but without the view we would have never seen it)
We had both our ceremony and our reception in the same room and the staff were amazing at getting everything done and making sure everything ran smoothly and on time. We had a few delays but none were the fault of the staff.
We were given white gloved service and the waitstaff were extraordinary. They were extremely helpful to both my husband and I and our guests. Anything we needed we didn’t have to ask twice.
My mother is handicapped and in a wheelchair and they went above and beyond to help her. The main floor is handicapped accessible. They have a ramp for wheelchairs to get in and out of the venue and the bathrooms on the main floor are handicapped accessible. I don’t know about the downstairs room, since you do need to walk down steps to get to the room so I would assume it is not handicapped but I cannot confirm this, you would have to speak with someone at Roma View for a definite answer on this. But the waitstaff came to my mother regularly to ask if there was anything she needed or wanted.
We also had a guest who was suffering from cancer (my brother’s girlfriend) and became ill during the reception. She was also in a wheelchair and They brought her to one of the rooms that was being unused for some privacy and provided her with anything she needed. I felt that was just amazing. They didn’t have to do anything for her, she could have just left but they made sure to help her so they could stay. I felt that was just spectacular service.
I don’t remember the name of the gentleman who basically ran the show for us that evening but I’d like to give some kudos to him. I believe he was the wait staff captain. He kept the ball rolling that night and any problems we had were fixed immediately. We had an issue during our toasts that a special set of toasting flutes for our maid of honor and best man went missing. He found them in no time and swapped them out with the original flutes they were given. He made sure that all the significant parts of our wedding such as the cake cutting, and the bouquet and garter toss were done at the right times. A few times he had to take us from our guests but he was extremely polite and professional.
The food was phenomenal. Classic Italian cooking but it was all delicious! Their appetizers are to die for especially their Coconut Shrimp and Filet Mignon Skewers! They did make substitutions and changes for anyone with allergies.
Our wedding cake was included in the price of our event and was baked on premises. We had a beautiful three tiered wedding cake which was red velvet with cream cheese filling. The cake was absolutely amazing. It was decorated with icing roses in the color of our wedding. I was very impressed with that, it was a nice little surprise.
I was over the moon with the food and service I received on our very special day. I will definitely have many more events in the future at Roma View.

I have to give it four stars only because of how incredibly rude one of the caterers was. IT IS A FIVE STAR VENUE! The event planner with whom we started the event was Eric, but he was unavailable come time for our appointment, which happened to be relatively close to the actual date of our event (6−30−12, yesterday). Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly helpful. He was a delight to work with, and he made the entire process worthwhile/​as smooth as possible. Let me preface this by saying that it was an absolutely beautiful evening. We definitely got what we paid for, and we were impressed by how efficient the wait-​staff was. The food was delicious. I had the steak and mashed potatoes, and I am a steak fanatic — I ABSOLUTELY loved this steak. The decorations were incredible — the dance-​lights really added to the mood. People loved it and were dying to stay longer. We had two cakes and were a little bit upset because the wait-​staff did not give people the opportunity to have from the second cake (the cake they made for us). That did not deter us from having a good time — they were still a 5-​star wait-​staff. Kudos to them for doing such an incredible job!
The reason I had to dock it a star is because of the incredibly rude service we received last week from one of the caterers (a female). Instead of being calm, she practically bit our heads off as we discussed our party. We were there to pay the gratuity on our event, which was fine, but her apparent disgust with us left us stressed for the entire week leading up to the event. She was rude, spoke in an uninviting tone, and just seemed to not understand customer service at all. Had it not been for her, I would have said Roma View deserves even more than 5 stars.
We had to do very little inside the hall to prep for the event. Many venues don’t have the level of detail that Roma View does in their already pre-​decorated rooms. All we had to do was provide centerpieces; the rest was all taken care of for us! All of our guests raved about the quality of the venue. We had the Rhapsodie room and it was absolutely incredible! We could not be happier with our turnout, the wait-​staff, Eric, the maître-​d Carlos, the concierge and everybody involved!
Also, we had lied on our invitations and put the start-​time was an hour earlier than what the actual start-​time was, because we knew our guests would all be late (we’d say about 99% were — even the DJ and photographer were late), but the concierge went on to discuss this with an unhappy guest. This was unprofessional, as the conversation happened right in front of the event hosts (us), so I had to approach the guest myself after hearing the complaint. I don’t think that stopped him from having a good time. He was a bit upset at first, but I think he must have had a decent time because I saw him socializing with the people at his table.
Very grateful for Carlos and Eric, for the exceptional job they did before and during the event!

My family has had many parties here. I had my Sweet 16 here and couldn’t of had a better time! This catering hall is owned by the same family as Giardinos and Russos on the Bay– both of which I am at often for parties seeing as I have a pretty big Italian family that knows how to partayy!
Roma View has 3 different sized rooms for your party needs, all with dance floors in the middle of the seating area. The 2 rooms on the main floor have a great view of the water at their back windows. Whenever we plan parties here we are always assisted efficiently and have many options. I have had both buffet and sit down meals here and I always enjoy the food. Classic Italian specialty dishes with great flavor.

This was where my sister had held her engagement party for about 50 – 60 guests. She picked the basement room which I was a bit shocked about, but it worked beautifully! It had a separate set of bathrooms just for us and excess to outside for all the smokers, both of which were very convenient. The bar was small, but functional in the corner and there was a raised section for the DJ to set up so we weren’t screaming to each other over the music.
The food was really nice — tomato and fresh mozzarella to start the night off, along with pasta and tomato sauce. We had our choice of four entrees and dessert was the engagement cake that they included upon booking. Very affordable pricing too compared to other places.
Workable staff all very close to home; she might even pick here again for the wedding! Possibly see you in 2012!

I have been coming here the past couple of years because my cousin has been hosting a Christmas Party here. The food has always been really good. A great selection of Ribs, pasta, Chicken Parm, A few Vegetable dishes and such. The DJ was pretty good 2 years ago, last year the music did not seem as great. In our group we had somewhere between 30 and 36 people in the crowd so that was cool. There are other groups also there sharing the same space, other Job christmas parties but everyone looked like they had a good time. There is valet parking here but you can park on the street at Cross Bay Blvd if you know the area (just check the signs).

I’ve been here a number of times for various showers, communions, etc. The food is okay. Typical Italian catering hall food.
I was here in November for a shower and instead of lunch it was brunch food and this was 100 times better than the regular lunch I’ve always had. The breakfast foods were pretty good. Had some pastas. The Alfredo tortellini were good but the second batch the sauce was soooo watery. Bloody Mary’s were okay but no celery stalk, what’s up with that.
The younger staff though could be more attentive and less clumsy.

I recently attended my company’s Christmas party at this catering hall. A small disclaimer before I begin. I still work part-​time for catering company’s as a bartender so i know good catering when I see it. As soon as you arrive there is valet parking, eh not a huge fan of that but ok. The décor was nice and the staff was friendly and attentive. The DJ was decent playing music videos on a screen. Here comes the kicker. I am Italian and I can cook better than most Italian restaurants that I have been to. Fact. This place had some damn good food though. Ok, granted I was wasted and my judgement might have been a little skewed but the food was damn tasty. Trust me, it is hard to cook and keep pasta aldente for 150 people and then throw it in a chaffing dish. It was as close to aldente as your gonna get with those conditions. The bartenders actually knew how to make drinks which is always a plus at a catered event. All in all. I had a good time and I got wasted obviously at an open bar Xmas party. The food was all Italian and very respectable for a catered event. I am feeling generous because it is that time of year so four stars! Whopee!
