Roman Anthonys may not have good food, but they are still good entertainment. They seem to be trying to recreate the time of the Rat Pack, you walk in the strip mall restaurant on a red carpet with velvet ropes on either side. We were told they would be able to offer us a "treat" of sitting in the area closest to the stage where a trio was playing songs of the era. Most the people in the room were also of the era, which made us a good 20 years younger than most other patrons.

For some reason we both ordered the tasting menu. I now wish I hadn't and just picked a couple of different items off the menu to see if they would have been better. I am not sure what I was expecting with the tasting menu although many that I have had tried to challenge the eater a bit, but here it was geared to picky eater so that everyone would be happy, which is probably good because on one side of us the table was having the caesar salad prepared table side and asked to have the anchovey held, why bother at that point, but they did not like anchovies also the wife did not want any pepper on her salad. The table on the other side of us had a man who did not like cooked tomatoes only fresh unless they were in lasagana or spagetti sauce...he said it was hard to explain...clearly. Everything we had was average except the meat was cooked superbly both the fish and the pork were perfectly ccoked if the sauces had risen to that level it would have been a whole different evening. The dessert while I did not expect much at that point was a disappointment. It was apples crips with blue cheese in it, but the sauce was super runny and not great, the cheese did not work in the dish and it was all disconnected somehow.

Overall if you are 65 or over this may be a place to go to just relive your youth, other than that, I am not sure I would recommend it.

Roman Anthony’s is disappointing because it seems so promising. I can’t remember the last time we ate at an Italian restaurant with a red-checkered cloth tablecloth. A live band added to the ambiance. Unfortunately the food was not very good the night we went.

The meal started off on a good note with a good salad. The pork and the chicken fettuccine, however, were not that great. The sea bass was the highlight of the evening; it was a good piece of fish prepared well on a nice bed of polenta. The dessert was terrible, and it’s hard to screw up apple crisp. We ordered the tasting menu thinking that it would highlight the best the restaurant could do, but we were disappointed.
