Romas Italian Restaurant, Nixa, MO




Location:  911 Kenneth Street Nixa, MO 

Romas is definitely worth a visit, or two, or three.  If you like authentic Italian food you will love it.  I have to admit I was skeptical. I had heard they had great food, but every restaurant that's been in that location has been so so at best.  I've been to a few Italian restaurants on The Hill in St. Louis and I have to say Romas ranked right up there with them.  Our waiter, who I suspect was the owner, was very friendly and enjoyed talking with and serving us.  We began our meal with fresh Italian bread dipped in a flavored olive oil that was delicious. We then had the stuffed mushroom appetizer.  The mushrooms were covered with a tasty alfredo sauce blended with tomato sauce.  Yum!  I had the eggplant roll up, similar to eggplant parmesan, and Bob had crab and shrimp fettuccine.  Both were fabulous.  The portions were large and we had plenty to eat with leftovers to bring home.  I asked if they have wine and the waiter said, "Not yet, soon."  To round off our meal we had cannolli.  It was tasty, not the best I've had, but good.  We loved Romas and definitely recommend it.  We plan to visit them again soon to try their pizza.  Hope to see you there!
