    Nestled in the quiet and picturesque suburb of Castlecrag, Romano’s boasts regular clientele from as far north as Palm Beach and Cronulla to the south.

    The extensive wine list includes some of Australia’s finest wines without the ridiculous price tags of some competitors.

    The only difference between Romano’s menu and that of an up-market trattoria in Rome, is the language and Romano’s realistic prices.

    Keeping with the authentic Italian Restaurant theme, Romano’s Dessert and Liqueur selection is guaranteed to satisfy even the fussiest of diners.

      A small nice authentic Italian resurant with a well sized menu and a good atmosphere. 

      The entree came relatively fast and was of a decent standard, similar to what you would expect in a small authentic restaurant. 

      After a good 1 hr for our entree dishes to be picked up, and another long 30 minutes for our main, we could conclude that the service was not up to scratch. 

      However the main course was of decent standard, but with a few under cooked vegetables and a salad that does not fit its bill our meal was going a bit downhill. 

      With an average sorbet in an out of fashion dish tin holder, our meal ended at a note significantly lower that when we started. 

      Overall Romano Italian restaurant is a small authentic Italian restaurant that could be improved in many ways. With good service practices and an improvement on the quality of the food they produce, this restaurant could be much better. I probably would not be coming back but wish good luck for the future of the restaurant.    (Room for Improvement - December, 2011)

      Pretty average restaurant - more like home dining. Could have more up to date menu. Our waiter was quite rude.   (May, 2010)

      This was a lovely experience - on a hot summer's night sitting outside with a cool breeze with wonderful food and service. The value for money was excellent as servings were on the large size and just delicious. Will be returning.   (See my reviews (4) - January, 2009)

      Cool, but the servers barely come to the table. This is the Naples resturant.   (April, 2008)

    • Overall 9.8 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 10, Service 10

      My wife and I visited Romano,s again, 6 weeks after our last visit (Revue, This has been etc.) Again we could not fault the service and our choice of menu. As the previous comment, "we are not big eaters", we are not big eaters either. We selected 2 entees each and 1 desert each. We found this to be more than ample. Each entree was cooked and presented to perfection and the desert was excellent.

      The only negative thing about Romano's in our situation is the location. Coming from Gosford, it is a long way for a great dinner.   (March, 2008)

    • Overall 9.8 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 10, Service 10

      This has been one of the best, if not the best Italian dinner experience we have had. The food was excellent, the service was great and on the whole, the Romano Italian Restaurant is great value for quality and service. We would recommend Romano's Italian Restaurant to any one wishing to participate in a good quality Italian dinner.   (February, 2008)

      A normal night in the suburbs - reasonable food at a reasonable price. some eclectic menu choices for an italian restaurant with the stand out being the duck in orange sauce. wine menu not extensive but you'll find something good in the italian section.   (August, 2007)
