It was Motherās Day and Darrell wanted to treat me to a nice dinner. So he found this quaint little Italian restaurant nestled in the North Hills Mall in Ada, Oklahoma! Bless his heart he was all about the deserts LOL! I was raised by a Sicilian mother and was taught to cook by her sister my dear Aunt so I am very picky about Italian food. We were seated immediately and we had to he sweetest server Emma! What great service and she laughed at all of Darrellās corny jokes. Now all about the food I had the shrimp scallops i with pink sauce they call it Alvin sauce. The young man that brought it out. I asked him if that was pink sauce and he said yes. Itās not exactly the pink sauce Iām used to, but it was delicious. It was packed with shrimp and I do mean large, shrimp, scallops, and mussels. It was so good and it was so hot. I had it on penne pasta. Of course we had to have a salad which came with it and had the house dressing. A lot of Italian restaurants. Their house dressing is very thin. This was thick, rich and savory. Darrell couldnāt decide what he wanted to eat. He asked about the lasagna. They told him was a small portion and that if he was really hungry, he should have pasta trio. He thought that was a little much so he went ahead and ordered the lasagna. He really liked it. In fact, he ate every bite. He then asked about the desserts if it was really true that they had all the desserts that was listed and yes they did.. we were so full after eating that delicious meal that we opted to order dessert but to take it home Darrell had the red velvet. He said it was delicious. I had the triple chocolate cheesecake. Oh my goodness it was so good I didnāt eat all of it. I saved some for today to eat after supper we highly recommend this little restaurant, the service, the food deserts. was great. We decided that whenever we come to Ada and are thinking about dessert. Weāre going to stop there and get some to go. The prices were good. We will definitely eat here again. In fact, itās the best weāve had since weāve been...
Ā Ā Ā Read morePlace was really clean, but food was a major disappointment. The Alfredo sauce tasted like straight milk, and the house salad (which has been my favorite at every other Romaās) tasted nothing more than the marinara sauce you use for shrimp scampi. My best deduction says that they are using really cheap, low quality ingredients. Neither my husband nor I could eat our meal. My husband had the chicken aristocrat which is his usual go to and the eggplant in his dish was off colored, I had the tortellini all panna, which I have always enjoyed. My kids had fettuccine Alfredo. They were pretty dramatic about my husband not liking his meal, even though he made no complaints. The waitress noticed he hadnāt touched his food and asked if he liked it to which he responded honestly. My husband simply stated, āitās just not to my liking. Weāre used to another Romasā. The manager stops by next and proceeds to lecture my husband about how all Romaās are different. Save your money and eat somewhere else. To make up for it, they deducted one of the kids meals from our ticket, which saved us $9, making our total $63 and some change. We still paid $30 for two adult meals that were way subpar that...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWonderful place to eat lunch. It wasn't crowded, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food wasn't top of the line but it was flavorful and tasty and we didn't have to wait long for it to be served. Each course was served in adequate time instead of all at once like when you order appetizers before the meal and have just started on them when they bring out your main dish. It wasn't like that here. It was spaced out but not too long so you can enjoy each thing that you ordered before getting the next. The restaurant was clean and tidy, the ambience was pleasant and relaxing even. You can talk to the people you are with without feeling like you can't hear them and they can't hear you because of loud music or people talking loudly. The only complaint I have was the salad was drenched in dressing. Luckily I love ranch anyways but it was a little much. I'm also not one for tiramisu but this one was actually pretty tasty. We will definitely be visiting...
