I am from St. Louis originally, so when I moved here over twenty years ago, I despaired of ever having truly good Italian food again. I tried several places in the region, but nothing quite met my standards.
Then Roma came to Hugo, and I was pleasantly surprised. Their food is delicious, authentic, and well-prepared. I can't recommend just one item as everything is delightful. The side salad does lack something, but the House dressing is quite good. You're going to have lovely bread and such generous portions you won't care.
It's a popular place that can get rather loud during peak hours, but the music is not, so non-peak dining is family-friendly as well as reasonably quiet. Dress is casual to just-came-from-working-outside. In other words, don't worry about it. You will enjoy it, and if something is a little off, the owner is generally around and he will go out of his way to...
Read moreMy husband and I went to Roma’s in Hugo for dinner. Our waitress was very nice and we did not have a very long wait. My husband loved his, it was called “Sausage Pepper Parmigiana.” He said he would give it a 4.5, it was both cheesy and very flavorful. Mine was called “Tortellini Modo Mio with Chicken.” I would give it a two and never order it again. I did not like the sauce, and the chicken was dry, very charred, and tasted burnt .

I think we would go there again, definitely eating the rolls, but I would 100% have to try something else. We were pleased with our waitress, she was very nice and so was the lady at the...
Read moreIf you are ever in Hugo & want the best food for the best price, GO HERE!! Wow is all I can say. Even on a busy Sunday afternoon crowd, we were still seated right away & the staff were very nice. I had looked at the reviews on here before we went & showed the owner a pic of what I wanted, as it didn't have the description listed. He said it was no longer on the menu, but that they could make it for me ! The portions were huge. My guy got the lobster ravioli & couldn't eat more than half the plate. They didn't skimp on scallions either! The artichoke hearts & other veggies in my pasta were so incredibly tender. We're both stuffed & probably still have 2 meals worth of leftovers! Pricing was great. 10/10 stars from us! We will definitely be back. Don't miss out on this...
