Pizza Roma Cafe — Restaurant in Amman

Pizza Roma Cafe is located right beside the Amman Pasha Hotel. We came here on the first and last day of our 10-day trip. Upon arrival from AMM airport at 9am we drove into Amman and stopped to visit the Roman Theater and museum area. Then our driver (Richard) brought us into Pizza Roma Cafe for a tea and break. We LOVED the tea. We started chatting and planning our day and reviewing our trip itinerary.

We were then taken to the roof terrace where we saw cats, tortoises, rabbits and birds. We were told the hotel owner is very supportive and caring toward animals. Roof terrace had a nice aerial view to see Roman Theater and that area of Amman. As we left, we met the owner (Ray) outside and had a fun conversation. Told him we'd be back.

After visiting everything we planned in Jordan, we returned here on our last day in the evening (which was much busier than our previous mid-morning visit). There were more people sitting down, and more working staff people). We ordered maqluba, mansaf, kufta meat pattie with tahini sauce, and of course tea. While waiting, a guest and his girl friend came in to hangout and wait for someone... they heard us speak English and we engaged in conversation. Next thing you know he was sharing his falafel with us and we were exchanging contact information. Pretty cool. When he left, our food arrived... it was great value (quality and quantity) for the price. We licked our plates and wished we could've dined here more :D we engaged in conversation with one of our servers (Zack from Cleveland?), and it was very interesting hearing his background. There is a lot of love and kindness in Pizza Roma Cafe, and the value for the variety quality and quantity of food is very good. Recommend for lunch or dinner if you're...

One of the best places in Amman if you are looking for traditional Jordanian cuisine, conveniently located in the heart of the city near the Roman theater. Great service provided either by the host, Mr. Raymond, or the staff, the food was always fresh and tasty. The Poor Man's dish is highly recommended if you like spicy food, it goes very well with black tea or cold beer served in frosted glasses. Great atmosphere, the clientele is composed mostly by odd tourists from all over the world and local regulars. If you are lucky you may also be able to enjoy some live music played by local musicians who frequently...

This restaurant is attached to the Amman Pasha Hotel as it is managed and owned by the same proprietor. The place is touristic, very cool and has a great location in Downtown Amman, right in front of the Roman Theater. The food is good; the prices are even better (not expensive), service is good too. It also offers free refills (your bottles) of chilled drinking water. It has an extra section (with bar/cafe) on the rooftop of the 7-storey hotel. The view is fantastic. Staff is nice and friendly. We really enjoyed (many...
