A Roman Table in Pleasant Ridge

A Roman Table in Pleasant Ridge

Romolo Bar Romana takes its cue from the rhythm of an everyday Roman trattoria — small bites to begin, seasonal pasta at the center, and neapolitan pizzas designed to share. From burrata and oysters to rigatoni, carbonara, and filet, the menu balances comfort with detail while staying rooted in Italian tradition.

What a wonderful surprise! Would never have known this place existed if I did not start a new construction project in Ferndale. So I started passing it each day and wondered what it was like. We took six people Last Saturday and every person raved about their Dish. Even my mom said it was some of the best ... salmon piccata she has ever tasted! Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this place! Great selection of drinks/wines. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food. We were shocked it wasn’t more crowded on a Saturday night!

I intended on a spaghetti and meatball dinner and got way better.

What a great spot! A hidden gem. The food is so good, I can’t enough. Good wine selection. The service is great. The atmosphere is very quaint and warm. I have introduced many of my friends to this place and they continue to go back. This is hands down one of my top 3 favorite places in Michigan. I highly recommend ... it!

My fiancée and I had a really lovely Valentine’s dinner at Romolo. The interior was cozy, especially with the soft lighting and local art along the interior. It was lively for the holiday, but not cramped. We started with drinks and the Fritto Misto(not pictured) which was excellent. I had the Rigatoni Lucanica for ... my entree. The sauce and fennel sausage had a nice heat to them from the banana peppers. It was unique compared to most Italian pasta dishes. My fiancée had the Costolette D’Angnello, which was on a whole other level. The lamb was cooked perfectly at medium rare, very tender and not gamey in the least. The polenta and greens were savory, as well. They had a special dessert for the evening, Spumoni gelato covered in dark chocolate and pistachio crumbs. The appetizer and entree portions were generous, but we couldn’t say no to such a tempting dessert. The service was warm and attentive from all staff. We’d love to come back and try the pizza next time. Thank you for such a memorable evening!

This was our first time dining at Romolo and it was a wonderful experience. We ordered the Rigatoni Lucanica pasta, Chopped Salad with chicken and the Heirloom Carpaccio. The pasta was some of the best pasta we’ve ever had. The combination of creamy sauce with Italian sausage and banana peppers was delicious. The ... interior of the restaurant was decorated with beautiful art you can buy. The aesthetic was both thoughtful and cozy. Great spot for a date night. We also ordered the spumoni ice cream ball for dessert, cannot recommend saving room for it enough.

Went there for a work Christmas party, party of 14. The food was delicious, salad and pizza to start. Then chicken followed by a to die for pasta and thin sliced sirloin cook perfectly 👌 While I can not speak for the front of the house/bar, our banquet room server was quite slow and never smiled once. Nevertheless we ... enjoyed the vibe and the food, and would definitely recommend visiting!
