Cafe Roma

"Went yesterday and was ignored by server who walked past us several times without a “hi, I’ll be right over.” An older grumpy looking man behind the counter also ignored us. There was ONE table with to-go boxes leaving so this place was NOT crowded. It was basically EMPTY besides us. We were about to leave when the frazzled server acknowledged us. Food came without utensils or napkins…just basic restaurant and customer service is lacking here. We only came bc Cafe Reconcile which has STUDENT workers was packed and couldn’t seat us. I see why this place is empty. We didn’t feel welcomed and won’t be returning. I don’t think they like minorities here even though they’re on ORETHA CASTLE HALEY STREET!! Was not worth the $$$."

"This is my second review of Cafe Roma. I was back in New Orleans this week and wanted to try Cafe Roma again. About two months ago I went with a group of people but this time I went alone. I was the only customer dining in the restaurant but there were several to-go orders while I was there. Last time I had a sandwich so this time I wanted to try something different. I ordered a small Caesar salad and a small margarita pizza. My salad came out first and it was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were very fresh, homemade croutons were super crunchy and flavorful, they really piled on the parmigiana, which I love and the Caesar dressing was bright and tangy. The margarita pizza is one of the best I’ve ever had. There was so much cheese it was almost absurd, in a really delicious way! The crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I really enjoyed the addition of minced garlic to the top. The waiter was the younger guy that was there before. As before he was very polite and no intrusive. When I finished my meal I asked for the check and since I had some time left before I needed to go back to the office I asked if he minded if I sat for a while. He graciously said of course and even brought me some ice water when I saw I had finished my drink. Over all a wonderful and relaxing experience and I will be back and look forward to trying another item on the menu. Thank you Cafe Roma for your hospitality."
