Roma Coffee Bar

I’m not sure why but I really wanted to like this place. I think it’s because it looked so inviting. It was right next to the hotel I was staying in, the Ramada Encore and I thought it would be a more authentic version of some of the big multi national chain coffee shops that I usually end up visiting.
Sadly it was a miserable experience. The service was ok but the coffee wasn’t. The real deal breaker was having to wait 45 minutes for a toasted panini. By the time it eventually arrived I asked them to bag it up so I could take it with me. I’m really not much of a complainer and I put up with more than most when it comes to service but this place too much.
On the plus side, It’s beautifully decorated well located. But that not enough for me to want to go back.

This is a bustling taste of la dolce vita in the unlikely surroundings of an empty estate agents and BHS. There’s a downstairs which is full of tiny tables and great for sipping espresso and reading the paper, and upstairs has larger tables for lunch. It’s incredibly good value: most of the dishes aren’t much more than a fiver, they taste wonderful and the staff are friendly. You can also stock up on your Italian food here like pannetonne, amaretti biscuits and other store cupboard goodies.
Much, much nicer than Carluccio’s and the like.

Fine eating Italian style
Popped in for an evening meal. This place is plain in it’s decoration but great in it’s quality. Had a fantatically tasty penne amatricana followed by a quality pizza. Service was prompt and professional; quality was great. Forget local posh italians this is bella bella.
