Italian restaurant · Uptown

"Neighborhood restaurant Bar Roma provides a lowkey place for sharing giant meatballs, cacio e pepe with handmade spaghetti, and a carafe of wine, especially when the weather is nice enough to get a table on the shaded plant-lined patio. Competitive couples can come for bimonthly trivia while the especially thrifty can dine during happy hour for discounts on cocktails, mussels, and fried shrimp. Book a table through Resy." - Samantha Nelson
