DI ROMA Cucina — Restaurant in Torrance

I am sorry I have to give this place one star. I wish I could give 0! I found this place using Office Express which has been great. They really are customer service oriented. I wanted a more upscale place for finer Italian Food so I ordered the green salad, the Di Roma Sandwiches, the sausage and mushroom pasta, and the 3 cheese ravioli for an important company meeting. I unwrapped the salad and placed it on the table. A Council Member served himself salad and a sandwich. He scooped some salad into his mouth with spoon and then mumbled as he took out a shard of glass out of his mouth! He was completely shocked and disappointed. We were all embarrassed and after that no one wanted to eat now and we spent a serious penny the food. $479.00 dollars! Although things happen, this is unacceptable. If something broke or shattered near your food as you are prepping you should start all over. I am extremely disappointed and that is just horrible service to cook food in an area where there was an accident, shattered glass or not thoroughly cleaned and cleared. The glass was within the salad. I served it as it came. I am on hold on the phone now so I'm using my time wisely by writing this review! Di Roma Cucina you are a horrible restaurant and you need someone else in your kitchen! The person who bit into the salad could have swallowed the glass and you are lucky he didn't cut his mouth. Stop lying to your partner Office Express telling them that you don't have glass in your kitchen. You asked them if it was plastic? Is it any better to swallow plastic? Shame on you! It's glass and we still have it sitting here with your disgusting and bland food that everyone stopped eating...

Today was our first experience here. The atmosphere great clean and fresh. The service was good.. the calamari was very tasty and the tiramisu was wonderful. We had a Caesar salad that could’ve had a little more dressing, but it was good.. then we ordered the filet mignon cheesesteak sandwich, which was gigantic but unfortunately the bun was burnt. Really burnt so we couldn’t eat it. I asked the waiter to just bring me another bun not toasted so I could maybe eat it later I was not very happy or hungry at that point. I figured he was just offer to replace the sandwich but he didn’t. I took the steak and stuff off the very burnt bun, put it in to go container. Being in the the restaurant business myself for 30 years and found that to be unprofessional and odd. I should have spoken up in hindsight. Then we had dessert since we were celebrating our birthdays. The waiter did say happy birthday, but didn’t even comp our dessert after all that. So very disappointed even though the food was very good, I will not go back. Too many other restaurants that deserve my business....

So if you love pasta and want to try something new, then this is the place to come and check it out. Today I had the Angel Hair Pasta with chicken and for my salad I had the Tossed Caesar Salad crisp romaine lettuce with parmesan cheese with the home made caesar dressing without croutons and top it off with chicken.

For years I pass this place and never stop by for what reason I don't know... but today wanted to try something different. This is going to be my new place for now on.

I want to say thank you for the cooks, you guys are doing a great job making the food tonight and I hope to see you again. Keep up with the amazing food!
