"Roman Wolves is more than a bar and restaurant; it's a celebration of epicurean tapestry of what Italians call the Eternal City" said Nino Cusimano. "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"

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Roman Wolves offers an authentic Italian dining experience with a standout "cheese wheel pasta" and "exceptional service." The vibrant atmosphere, delicious dishes like oxtail lasagna and zucchini blossoms, and attentive staff make it a must-visit in Little Italy. Ideal for group celebrations, though it can get quite loud. Highly recommended!

    This place is a real gem! Our third time here and we loved it as much as the first two - something that doesn't often occur at least in our experiences! The service is fabulous - every single one of the staff are very friendly and kind. They are all smiling and welcoming! I had a really good Lemoncelli cocktail that was light and refreshing and the rest of my party enjoyed a glass of red wine. Their food is delicious - I selected the fettuccini alfredo with chicken and it was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was really good. My husband and both of our friends chose the pappardelle pasta with Italian sausage and Bolognese sauce and they all loved it. We will definitely take more friends to this place! It's truly a great Italian gem in Little Italy!

    The food is delicious! You walk in and it’s a fun, nicely decorated ambiance. We were a larger party of 13 and had attentive and friendly service the entire meal. Everyone loved their food and will absolutely be back!

    Amazing food and service! We ordered the ragu and artichoke ravioli and were impressed by both. The portion sizes are smaller than a typical Italian restaurant but still left full (without having to carry a box of leftovers).

    The ambience is Italian, but the food--mashed potatoes?--hardly seems Roman.

    Menu incorporates the specialties and ingredients of the Roma cuisine such as zucchini blossoms and artichokes. Dishes were excellently prepared and service was wonderful.

    This was one of the best pasta experiences my husband and I have ever had! All food was delicious however the pastas were extraordinarily delicious. We ordered 3 and ate every bite! Thank you Roman Wolves for an exceptional meal!

    Fundamentally this is a fine dining establishment. But it is totally destroyed when they bring the bill with an unacceptable, unreasonable, unwarranted, unannounced “hospitality fee” which became an argument with the manager.

    Good food. My wife and I were seated next to a group of 5 that were very loud but besides that it was fine. Would’ve liked a little more privacy as we felt like we were in their conversations we were so close.

    Excellent service by Lucca. His recommendations were spot on. Great food, fun vibe. The bar program needs some work though, it is not commensurate with the foot.
