Bistro Romano - Darby Township

Everything was excellent but my GF penne pasta which was undercooked and much harder than al dente, almost uneatable. Many restaurants make this mistake because GF pasta takes longer to cook but with these prices they should know better. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free

The food and atmosphere was great. We had the ricotta and salumeria for appetizers and the taste was good. The foccacia was a little more cakey than I'd expect but good. No complaints about the steak or saltimbocca, either. Our waiter had a habit of taking things before we were finished, though. He took the ricotta without asking when we still had a good 2-3 scoops of it left, and then he took a drink that was still a quarter full. When I asked if we could have another drink since he took it while still having quite a bit left, he apologized but then charged us for another one at the end. We also felt a little rushed, we were in and out in about 70 minutes. Would go again, just hope for a different waiter.

Great food, great atmosphere, the music/piano player was great, the waiter was awesome which was also the bartender couldn’t ask for more relaxing place

Best romantic dining experience I have ever experienced. Definitely recommend to all couples looking for something where you can keep to yourselves more and enjoy the service and food.

The Duck Breast with fennel puree, rhubarb, and Pernod is delicious, and was paired with the perfect red wine. I had an amazing time with excellent service and great company. Still a neighborhood gem.
