"We've created our own take on the enduring essence of Rome's legacy and it's significant historical, cultural, and culinary impacts on the Italian food scene"

    Top tier customer service, delicious food, and great place to celebrate a special occasion! Restaurant was quite loud but it was also peak dinner time on a Friday night. Overall great experience!

    This was a solid place...I wouldn't say anything was outstanding about it other than the great service we received from Lucky who served us at the bar. The menu has a nice variety and everything was well-executed.

    The appetizer was really flavorful, although I prefer to either increase the quantity a bit or reduce the cost by atleast 10%. Pasta dishes were a 9/10 for me. Salmon dish was good, but just a tad overcooked and lacked salt. Dish doesn't have enough sauce to compensate for salt, so I give that a 7/10 (at best). Drinks were really good and service was a 9/10 as well. I do think they need to elevate their food to match expectations for me. We would love to come back for apps and drinks next time. Thanks !

    Has a reservation and still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. Food and service was great (the tiramisu was average) except the noise level is TOO loud inside the restaurant. You practically have to yell over the table because the music is so loud.

    My boyfriend & I went to Roman Wolves to celebrate our anniversary. Our reservation was for the bar but they ended up sitting us outside, I think that was a kind gesture for the celebration, but I almost wish we were at the bar due to the busy loud street & the plants over hanging on the table. We started with the brushetta which was incredible & appreciated all the different flavors. Then we shared the lamb & cacio e pepe both were above & beyond (we loved the sauce that was with the lamb)! Despite some of the reviews I thought the menu was fairly priced for the food, drinks, service, & atmosphere.

    Food was good. Nice portions for the price. Service was GREAT! The place is loud, but not so much as you can’t have a conversation. Definitely will be back.

    The cheese wheel was super fun with a delicious pasta dish at the end! The food was overpriced for the serving size. I ordered a salad that cost $16 and it came out in a small bowl. My family loved the lasagna and the lamb. The service was excellent with attentive staff. The bar scene is too noisy for an evening out to dinner; it was hard to hear.

    Roman Wolves was a great place to celebrate a birthday. They also accommodated to my last minute reservation party change and were very helpful. The service was great and they made you feel welcomed. We all had drinks ranging from wine beer and cocktails and all were very good. We started with a few appetizers and let me tell you, the calamari was the best I’ve ever had! We also had the prosciutto and that was delicious. Everyone had a pasta. I had the cheese wheel pasta with a creamy pesto sauce and that was to die for. Everyone either had bolognese or carbonara and those were great too. They ended the night with a birthday tiramisu and even brought out a second one because of our large party which was so sweet. The tiramisu was also amazing. Overall, highly recommend this place for any occasion!
