Roma — Restaurant in Bacoor

Ate here with my partner and my mother in law and all I can say is, my experience was absolutely spectacular.

Ambience was very cozy and had a pretty traditional interior. The warm lighting added to the overall welcoming ambience. The place sort of reminded me of coffee project. The table though was a bit small considering we ordered a lot and could hardly accommodate all the food prepared. The exterior had great lighting especially around the back, the open area and Al freco dining is perfect for those instagramble shots. The string lights outside add a overall romantic feel to the place.

Service was great, though water came out a little later than when we were sat in our place, give or take around ten minutes or so after. Hope the service was a little more attentive, though, to me it was overall great.

In terms of food, as a chef who worked at the food industry, the food was outstanding. I'm thinking of ways they can improve but I can't think of a single thing. Each dish is carefully crafted, flavor profiles were perfectly balanced and cooking techniques were cooked to perfection. Food came out hot as it should be and the timing the food came out was faster than expected. I could taste the herbs were fresh, the gremolata on the osso buco tasted freshly prepared as the lemon zest stood out to me. For starters, their aranccini was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked. This stood out to me the most as the sauce carefully complimented the dish. Their pesto pasta was perfectly Al dente while the flavors maintained a complete balance, nothing was overpowering. The bread they used for their soup and pasta stood out to me as well, definitely quality. The food overall felt pretty authentic, the pizza especially, as I've eaten at several Italian places before, though this would have tasted better if cooked in a wood fire oven to get that smokey, rustic flavor profile. All the food was plated artistically and carefully thought out and executed. Shout out to chef Gab who carefully prepared our food up...

Excellent food quality, great service, place is neat, ambiance is surreal, service is good. I love that they have a wine and champagne selection, its just too bad me and my bf are not yet a fan of wine.

I noticed most 3 and below stars complain that it is pricey.

The food is indeed pricey from 300+ and up. You'll most likely spend more than 1500 pesos for 2 people. That's only 2 entrees, 1 appetizer and 2 blended drinks. And that's considering you don't eat much like me and my bf.

The flavors that goes in the food were excellent. We tasted each ingredient individually and were underwhelmed. But, when you eat the dish altogether, all the spices and sauces blend perfectly.

What we ordered: Fried cheese 6/10 (too oily, spice in the sauce was too strong, salsa was oily as well, might wanna request plain tomato salsa next time) Rustic Margherita 10/10 Chicken Bruschetta Fusilli 9/10 Cookies and cream frappe 10/10 Super berry smoothie 10/10

We were full after our small meal, we would definitely come back to try more.

Best advice i can give you: ✅ if you do not like pricey foods with adequate amount of servings (their meals with rice are limited. It's an italian inspired restaurant, so don't expect a filipino cuisine) ✅ if you like natural foods than fast foods ✅ and if you're exploring new cuisines 👌🏼This is a place to go

If you prefer cheaper foods with rice na sulit at puputok na pants niyo, better eat at samgyup or jollibee, kfc or burger king, mang...

Giving 3 stars for now.

Goodside: Ambience is great both inside and outside. Plenty of parking.The outside venue is perfect for early morning and late afternoon. Music is relaxing and gives an Italian vibe. I have good smart net signal so ok for work and net surfing. I did not ask if they have free wifi. There is adequate charging outlets. Toilets are clean.

Areas of Improvement: Coffee was wrong had to be redone. Not following instructions. My truffle tots had too little dressing. Had to ask for more. This place has higher price compared to other Cafe's like Starbucks, Coffee Project, Seattle's Best or Coffee Bean. You cant stay outside if it starts to rain or if the sun is too bright. The counter area is quite cluttered. Few would prefer to sit on the small table settings in front the counter because it's annoying once the line started to pile up for orders. There are bar stools beside the ordering counter. So imagine if you are having your drinks and a lot people moving behind you as they order. Probably they could change the direction of line.

They just opened so I guess service will improve as time goes. But overall still a very nice place. Hopefully they do better on...
