we had the bronzino and the fettuccine Bolognese… food, service and atmosphere all were great

First the positives–
Chicken Cacciatore was very good. Gnocchi dish was done a little bit differently (Gnocchi was mashed up in the dish along with the artichoke hearts and mushrooms), but had very nice flavor. Ambiance was inviting.
Now the negatives–
Service was incredibly slow. Place is small, yet waiter was only somewhat attentive. 30 minute wait for one appetizer and then another 45 minutes for everyone’s entrée. Portions were on the small side, especially for the price. Some of the dishes were subpar (Fettuccine to be specific). Worst of all was that they were out of three of their entrée dishes, two of which our group had planned on ordering. How do you let this happen?
Place has potential, but was overall disappointing and I do not think I will be back.

I have been meaning to write this review since New Year’s Eve. We decided to spend the evening here rather than at Grissini in Englewood Cliffs because it is a BYOB and we were a big group (10 people). Fortunately, the drinks (that we brought ourselves) were excellent. Everything served by the restaurant was terrible. I started with the Fettuccine Bascaiolla, which was cold and tasted like macaroni and cheese with limited criminni mushrooms which are supposed to make the dish. My main was even worse. I ordered the Bronzino and asked the waiter to debone the fish. He came back ten minutes later and said he had never deboned a fish before. It goes without saying that the fish still had bones and I sent it back. Finally, my wife ordered the salmon which was dry as a bone.
I strongly recommend that you AVOID this restaurant. Carpaccio in Englewood and Grissni are both classier and the food /service is far better.

Delish! Big selection of pastas and salad. Caesar was one of the best I’ve had and the pasta carbonara was perfect. All of the pastas were homemade and delicious. Will be coming back!

We went to this restaurant when they opened at 5 pm. We were the only ones there. Nice decoration and the staff was very welcoming. Modern and clean. Loved it.
We tried the Calamari stuffed with sausage and fennel, Osso bucco and pork chop (coriander glazed, roasted pear). Osso bucco was smaller portion than I expected but delicious. My pork chop was too chewy. Taste was good but texture didn’t meet my expectations. This place is BYOB but I don’t think I’ll go back here again.

Lovely brunch, perfectly cooked fish, low key waiters who are professional, knowledgeable and informative even when they despise Patriot fans! Our group had fun and were pleasantly filled. No pressure to eat fast even when people are waiting. BYOB a plus!

Not a fan. We’d been to The Kitchen and didn’t love it and thought this was going to be different, as one would expect based on the promotions about the new Italian restaurant — not just Italian, Roman. This is not an Italian restaurant. We overhead the owner saying nothing had changed, same chef, etc. They barely even changed the inside. They must be really attached to the leafy tropical theme that made little sense before because now it’s just a slightly different leafy wallpaper, same copper ceiling (like in Rome? No.). We had pasta with teeny tiny scallops which was ok but the breadcrumbs didn’t quite work. Osso bucco was different from any other — it was tomatoe-y. Desserts seemed the same; we had a pistachio ice cream thing with merengue — forgot what it was called but that was the best thing we had. I don’t know, I felt insulted like they thought oh we’ll just give it an Italian name and more people will come. Seems to me that the addition of pasta just made their costs go down because it’s not like it’s homemade. Boring «new» place.

Not a fan. From the second we sat down we were rushed and we had a reservation. The waiter told us we had to get our order in ASAP so the kitchen wouldn’t get backed up. Really? Then, we’d ask the waiter about a particular dish on the menu and he would trash talk it and convince us to order something else. The apps were OK. The entrees were flavorless. Scallops were small. Sauces bland. The best part of our evening (which lasted just over an hour) was dessert. When we left, the restaurant was close to empty… I guess the people who work there had plans of their own and wanted everyone out.

The ambiance is great as well as the restaurants staff. A very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. The food was freshly homemade & fantastic! Highly recommend this new little restaurant. The chef came to our table after we had our dessert and greeted us warmly. The dessert was delicious. I will definitely come here for a special occasion or date night.

What a great experience. The food here is nothing short of excellent. We had three stellar appetizers, the lightly fried artichoke, a fresh mozzarella salad with heirloom tomatoes and the best caesar salad I’ve eaten in a very long time. We split a wonderful pasta dish with scallops .
All I could say was wow. Two of us ordered bronzini and my other friend ordered chicken cacciatore. Everything was cooked to perfection.
I’m not a big dessert eater but the classic pear cake and the baked julius were outstanding. The ambience is perfect and so is the staff. A wonderful evening!

Very excellent and firing on all cylinders. We adored The Kitchen and now love Romulus. My wife and I had the pleasure to dine there last night. My wife enjoyed her fried artichoke appetizer (prepared perfectly composed with crunch fried artichoke with thinly shaved fennel and radishes with touch of acid from lemon and hint of parsley… really, really enjoyable!). I had the stuffed calmarri which was quite different, generous and delicious. My wife loved her osso buco… tender and flavorful. My pork chop was as good as I can remember having anywhere… moist and made with a citrus sauce. Our desserts were equally impressive… I had fantastic cheese cake… light and airy. My wife’s chocolate cake was to die for… off the chart. BYO always is a bonus for us. Steve is the best host. Service was on a par with The Kitchen… professional and proficient. The vibe of the newly done place is great… hip, relaxed and fun.
