Via Roma - Des Plaines

We were promptly seated at 5:30 on a Friday, but it took about 10 minutes for our waitress to come to our table, and we had to ask her for water. After that, however, the experience improved considerably. My husband ordered the pasta scoglio with shellfish, which he described as excellent. I chose the chicken limone, and it was fantastic—the flavors, vegetables, and potatoes were exceptional. It was truly one of the best dishes I've ever tasted. Unfortunately, the chicken itself was tough and chewy, which is why I couldn't give the meal a full five stars. However, I enjoyed the vegetables so much that I hardly missed the chicken at all.

Via Roma is a charming Italian restaurant. The service was exceptional, and our waiter was very attentive. The food was delightful, and the portions were quite generous. Overall, it’s a warm, cozy place with delicious dishes and remarkable service.

I had a wonderful time dining outdoors! The food was amazing, and I particularly loved the desserts. Just a quick note: don't forget to bring your own wine!

We found this authentic Italian restaurant in the area when we are looking for a place to eat. We are kind of famished that time that is why immediately decided to eat in here when we first see it and it is also the closest place that we can find. I am grateful that it is not packed and nor busy we were able to seat and order right away. The staff in here are warm and friendly. The place looks nice a bit simple because I did not see much decorations inside but the ambiance is fine and the whole place is clean. Food was served fast while we are enjoying their fresh and good complementary bread. We got different pasta for ourselves and mine was spaghetti carbonara which I really love. I could taste every ingredient in the pasta, the pasta is well-cooked too and overall, it was really delicious. I just hope that we brought a wine with us because I learned that the place is bring your own bottle because the wine would definitely be a perfect pair for their pasta. I highly recommend this nice place and make sure to bring your own bottle!

One of my favorite Italian places! I would recommend the buratta antipasto appetizer, it has the freshest ingredients. They are so accommodating too. I love risotto but don’t like fish, so every time I order vodka sauce risotto and chicken (off the menu) and it is AMAZING. Everyone at my table kept taking bites of it! Thank you Via Roma!!
