Cafe Roma Restaurant Review

: The Rizzo family’s stylish Tuscan-style trattoria remains one of the area’s most popular restaurants, and with good reason. While techniques and presentations are solidly old-world, the cooking utilizes local and seasonal ingredients. House-made pastas shine in classics such as spaghetti carbonara, potato gnocchi with wild boar ragù, and fettuccine with a rich bolognaise made with grass-fed Hearst Ranch beef. Other favorites are the avocado and beet salad with Gorgonzola, the bright veal scallopini piccata, and tender Barolo braised short ribs atop creamy polenta. Desserts include traditional tiramisu and crème brûlée, but we like to enjoy the seasonal fruit cobblers. Many local labels are featured on the wine list, which includes more than two dozen by-the-glass options; this is also a good place to explore a wide range of Italian selections.
