Bar Roma

Italian restaurant · Uptown

"Head to Bar Roma for great Italian food in a space that feels cozy, despite actually being pretty big. There’s a huge, welcoming bar right when you walk in, and we’ll understand if you decide to stop there. But the main dining room, decorated with reclaimed wood and old furniture, feels laidback and inviting even when it’s busy. Focus on the pastas (like the cacio e pepe), all of which are made in-house, and don’t ignore the daily specials." - adrian kane
