Anas by the River — Restaurant in Rome

As a coach, game days are full of challenges. Between the logistics of traveling, planning meals, and making sure 20+ girls get where they need to be on time, it's a juggling act like no other. But one of the few things that has made my job a whole lot easier this season is Ana's on the River.

Lexi and her crew at Ana’s went above and beyond, not just with the quality of food, but with their attention to detail and extraordinary customer service. Each meal was carefully labeled, ensuring there was no mix-up, and they always triple-checked everything to make sure we had exactly what we needed. I called them several times with last-minute changes, and each time, they responded with nothing but professionalism and a genuine desire to make sure everything was perfect.

The food itself was nothing short of delicious. My lacrosse team requested Ana’s multiple times this season—not only because of the quality of the food but because they felt taken care of by Lexi and her team. For our pre-game meals, Ana’s certainly made every meal a highlight.

If you’re ever in a position where you need to organize meals for a large group, look no further than Ana's on the River. The food is fantastic, and the level of service provided by Lexi is beyond anything I could’ve hoped for. They’ve certainly earned my highest recommendation, and I can’t thank them enough for making game day a little bit easier.

Trust me, you won’t regret it. Ana’s is a...

I rarely order here due to the inconvenience of parking. It being a few years since I last ordered here. I tried to call and place an order 8/21/25 the young lady asked me if I could hold? Sure, no problem. I waited for about 5 minutes no one came, so I decided to place my order online. I waited until I received a confirmation and it didn’t come through, however my funds were taken out of my account. So, I thought this could be a slight system issue. I traveled to pick up my order and come up on surprise that there was an event downtown. Searched for parking and finally found one. Then I had to walk a good distance. Once I got inside the restaurant I was met with oh we don’t have your order. I explained to the same lady that I believe placed me on hold how I called and now I’m being told that my order was “missed!!” I felt either they chose to not fulfill my order in review that no one else orders were missed. As it was shown to me on a hand held device which was strange. I was told it would be a hour for my order to completed. I was not given a courtesy call to inform me that they were unable to make my order and that I could place it in store. I understand being busy but it was an inconvenience for myself as well and I was not pleased with how my experience went for just a...

I was recommended this place by a friend and my girlfriend. It was during a weekend lunchtime, so it was not very crowded. The front service girls were very nice and patient.

Food: The prices are a bit absurd for just being entrees, and then sides and drinks aren't included, which always feels tacky to me. I understand it's a business, but having things set up to include as meals would be better. I ordered the garlic parm wings, and my pictures show most of the sauce comes off, and they just tossed cold cheese over it. I used a spoon to scoop up the sauce onto them, which was very good. The wings themselves, excluding the sauce, were very good. The fries were well seasoned. The classic sub was also very tasty and fresh. Definitely quality ingredients!

Atmosphere: The front was very inviting but busy. It's hard to see the menu with so much in the way. The sitting areas themselves were all right. Standard booths and tables and a nice view outside.

Service: it's self-service, so you get your own refills and dispose of your own trash. It's not a bad thing, just an FYI.

Overall: I wasn't overly impressed with the wings, but there's plenty more to try so I'll give the place another chance...
