Via Roma - Des Plaines

Via Roma is a nice Italian restaurant. The service was great and the server was very attentive. The food was good and portions were great. All in all this is a nice cozy place with good food and great service.

Great outdoor dining experience! The meals were all great. Loved the desserts. Don't forget BYOB on wine.

We were seated promptly at 5:30 on a Friday. Our waitress didn't come by for about 10 min. We had to ask her if we could get some water. After that all was great. My husband got pasta scoglio with shellfish. He said it was excellent. I got the chicken limone. The flavor, the veggies, the potatos were out of this world. It was so great. One of the best I have ever had. The chicken sadly was tough and chewy. Thats the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. But I truly enjoyed all the veggies so much, I didn't even miss the chicken.

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!!
