La Roma

We went in an hour before closing on a Wednesday night but we found seating easily and got served immediately. The vibes and ambience of the place were exquisite. The food was pretty good, too, as well as the drinks. We were quite impressed that our waitress was also our barista. Overall, it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be coming back!

This place just continues to go above and beyond expectations. Every time we go, it’s better than the last and we make a date night here on the regular. Mimi and La Roma made our first date night here so special we just keep coming back. Denver steak, branzini, arancini, lobster risotto, burgers, brunch and awesome craft cocktails. Fantastic margaritas. Service is stellar. Personal touches and genuine interest. We are so proud to live here and this place will be so special to us. Thank you, La Roma!

I had a very nice meal at La Roma in Philadelphia! It’s a cozy restaurant and bar in the Port Richmond neighborhood with a warm, inviting vibe and a menu that blends comfort classics with flavorful, creative dishes. Locals love its steaks, pierogis, empanadas, burgers, and charcuterie boards — all made with quality, fresh ingredients. The atmosphere feels relaxed yet a little elevated, great for a casual dinner, brunch, or happy hour. The staff were friendly and attentive, and there are some nice options for cocktails and drinks that pair well with the food. I especially enjoyed how the menu offered a variety of flavors, from hearty meat dishes to tasty small plates, making it easy to try a few different things in one visit. Overall, La Roma is a pleasant spot with great food and a welcoming vibe — definitely worth checking out if you’re in Philly and want a memorable meal!

Last Friday I sat at La Roma and I must say I really enjoyed everything! Whether it was the food, every dish was just wow! Or the friendly service from the guys at the bar, you were amazing! Thank you very much, I will be back.❤️

I have been going to La Roma for over a year and a half. Beautiful restaurant, Amazing team of people working here from the front all the way to the back. I’m a regular who sits at the bar and just talks to the owner Chris who is the BEST cocktail maker in the business! La Roma is an amazing spot to take your partner, loved ones or even a cute dinner date with a group of friends

Went here for the first time tonight and was truly impressed! The restaurant itself was warm and cozy. The service was exceptional. And the food was 10/10! We ordered the mussels, pierogis, and branzino and could not get enough! Their special cucumber martini was also refreshing and tasty. Can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu!

Been here a few times. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food has always been top notch. And the drinks are wonderful!!!!! Perfect addition to Port Richmond!!!

A cozy little Italian restaurant in the Port Richmond area. Very clean with a tasteful decor. The calamari was excellent, perfectly tender with just the right amount of spicy kick. Definitely top notch here. The mushroom pierogi were simply OK. I may be a bit picky here since I've grown up eating homemade. I make them from scratch and I've sampled pierogi all over Port Richmond. There are worse, there are better, so we can call these these middle of the road. The chicken was well seasoned and tasty. The garlic mash were also outstanding with all seasonings and flavors in perfect balance. The ribs were perfectly cooked, tender but not mushy. Very respectable and better than many I've had in the NE region of the country. My problem is that I've lived and traveled throughout the South and fancy the dry rubbed and smoked ribs of that region. Northern style ribs will rarely ever have that level of depth and complexity of flavor. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience. If you're in the area, La Roma is worth a try.

I took some work friends here for happy hour. We got there about 10 minutes before it started. Our server was able to put our drinks in for the happy hour prices The pineapple caipirinha and cucumber lemon martini were very good. The espresso old-fashioned was on the menu, but was also very good. Happy hour food menu had a good selection. The chicken and beef empanadas were tasty. The muscles were excellent. Salmon guacamole was delicious. The salmon tacos were also very good. The servers were excellent. They were helpful in explaining drinks. The restaurant is in a renovated old-time bar. It has bar seating and tables, and also has tables outside in the nice weather. It has a very relaxing vibe.

Great food and service! My husband and I have always wanted to stop into this neighborhood gem, but never had the time. It's a bit more "upscale" than anything else within walking distance but still very casual so it's perfect for a chill date night. The fish was absolutely delicious and was cooked perfectly. I also thought it would be a smaller fish, but it's big enough to share. The steak was also very good - flavorful, juicy, and tender. One note is that I do wish there were more non-alcoholic options like mocktails. They ran out of bottled water so I was stuck with either tap (yuck) or sodas off the bar which tends to be flat.

Interesting cart that was at the Pierogi fest at Olde Kensington. They had a ton of Mexican non alcoholic drinks that sounded amazing. I didn't have any but they looked really good (especially in the heat). I had the Kielbasa and mozzarella cheese Pierogi which was really good. The kielbasa was good quality and tasted good with the cheese. The sauce is really good (tasted like cilantro). The coleslaw was pretty good as well (I really liked the purple cabbage in it).

I've dined here 3 times and look forward to many more visits. The menu is beautifully crafted with an eclectic mix of Italian, Mexican, and a touch of Polish. Every dish I've had was excellent. I especially enjoy the seafood soup. The cocktails are amazing--high quality ingredients and flair. And the desserts are always impressive. Staff is lovely. And I found a close by, free street parking space each time. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming whether for a sit down table meal or a visit at the bar.

Wow, delicious homemade cocktails with fresh squeezed juices. They really take the time to make you feel special with every detail. We have sat at the bar a few times and had appetizers and steak. Wow, tender and decadent. Superb hospitality !

The food is amazing, the drinks are great and the wait staff is the best. It's our go to neighborhood spot on Fridays

Stopped in tonight (Monday) for dinner with a friend. We had both never been here before. Pleasantly surprised that they offer happy hour until 7pm! We both ordered a drink and an appetizer (fried calamari and muscles) from the happy hour menu. I enjoyed the salmon for my entree. Everything was really good! Service was great!

THE FOOD WAS SOO GOOD. I especially loved the salmon guacamole, first though it was a weird combo but after having it with the sweet sauce and fresh raw salmon it was delicious. they waiters were sooo sweet the whole time so wonderful service. We went on a slow day with very little people so got to enjoy ourselves but still wonder place. food was soo flavorful and it was all gone after lol. 10/10 would come back.

Found this cool neighborhood spot on a Sunday afternoon walk. Super friendly service from Frankie who recommended several great items. They don't have a huge wine list but had a few very drinkable selections. Their menus is so interesting that I can't wait to come back and sample more items. Pictured is the salmon guacamole which is fresh and fantastic, drizzled with the right amount or balsamic to give it a lovely not-too-sweet finish. I'll be back and will tell my friends to be sure to check it out.

Run, don't walk! This place is incredible. I've been here twice for brunch and I can't wait to be back for dinner. The food was incredible. The empanadas were not to be missed. My favorite dish for brunch was the chorizo and gravy biscuits. The use Mexican chorizo and the gravy is flavored perfectly- over high standard biscuits. We each got a drink- Im so impressed with the execution of these drinks. They stand up to some of the best cocktail places with bigger names backing them. The service is outstanding. Out of this world. I couldn't have felt more welcome and at home. The ambiance is basic. It feels open, warm and clean.

Food was very good, bartender was courteous and welcoming, ambiance was romantic and relaxed.

What a lovely experience! If this is any sign of what's to come in Port Richmond, then the restaurant scene has a bright future. Cozy environment - great staff - incredible food. Menu covers a good mix of offerings, with a nice variety of meat & veggies options for both appetizers and entrees. Their plating was INCREDIBLE, and the food tasted even better. This is easily a meal you can expect in center city. Port Richmond is lucky to have this in their neighborhood. While they stick to their Mexican roots, many dishes pay homage to the Port Richmond (Polish) neighborhood, like their pierogies with cilantro cream sauce or the arancini with kielbasa. Their porkchop was next level! Would highly recommend. They also have a nice bar area, with creative drinks and craft beers. Can't wait to go back!

Fabulous ribs. Best in phila and south NJ. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Owner is a very nice, accommodating person

Great interior, friendly staff. We got two cocktails and arancini, pierogies, tuna tacos, and mussels and everything was delicious. Will absolutely be back!

People are sleeping on the happy hour here. I'm sure the full dinner menu is great food as well

Awesome. First time here and everything was great. Food, service and drinks. Will be back again! Highly recommend

Love this place . Staff is amazing. Food is good and drinks are yummy. Definitely been back a couple of times and will continue going. I really love the calamari and the mussels .. craving it now as I write this review . Place is cozy and the quiet . Great for date nights and meeting up with friends .

Another date night at La Roma! Finally changed up my appetizer and entre choices! The Korean Beef Short Ribs app was SO good. And the Lobster Risotto was delicious down to the last bite. I finished the whole thing! Once again, the cocktails were amazing and we enjoyed everything we ordered!

La Roma is a pleasant surprise! The food is deliciously different in a very good way! The renovations give La Roma a cool, relaxing vibe. Great place to chill with friends or take a date! The price points are fair for quality & the "on the ball" servers are extremely friendly! Not a bar to watch a game as there are no televisions. Just a great place to enjoy a great dinner!

Great little bistro in the Port Richmond neighborhood. Good wine, beer, and cocktail selection. Small menu with a nice variety of seafood and meats. They have a couple vegetarian (but not vegan) pasta dishes and salads. As a pescatarian who eats limited dairy, I was able to find a couple good selections. Friendly service.

Gorgeous place with amazing food! The staff couldn't be nicer. Can't wait to eat there again!

I went here for brunch. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was very welcoming and friendly!

Food was amazing! Happy hour is well priced and the drinks are delicious. Service was perfectly timed and very attentive.

Do yourself a favor and order a cucumber martini. Great drinks. The happy hour menu is a great deal. Food is always on point. My only complaint is that the wait for food can be a little long.

Delicious and totally worth the trip! Can't wait to see what the PR food scene looks like in a couple years.

Seriously some of the best food I've had in the city. The plating is beautiful, and every dish I've tried has so much flavor. Definitely one of my new favorite spots. Highly recommend!!

We had fathers day dinner here, it was great! Prices were reasonable for portions and quality!

La Roma is a refreshing little bar/restaurant. We love their happy hours and are planning a brunch there soon. Food is impeccable, ambiance is top notch and the staff are some of the nicest people you'd ever meet. The drinks! If you try it for nothing else , go for a cocktail.

Atmosphere was cozy. Customer service was wonderful. Dinner was amazing, and for a reasonable price. We would def recommend this restaurant!

Food is amazing! We had appetizers, entrees, and dessert and everything was plated beautifully and tasted just as good! A new favorite!
