Via Roma Event Center & Ristorante: Elegant Dining and Unforgettable Events in North Royalton

Stopped by for some drinks with friends. There were themed drinks & atmosphere with a live performance. The most comfy bar seats and the bartender was well versed in their drinks. I had an amazing time. Thank you staff for the experience and thank you owners for providing an excellent experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here! There's a nostalgic vibe when you walk in but with an updated and beautiful refresh! The lighting is incredible and the food is really good! You just have to go downstairs and see The Grotto! It feels like a speakeasy and it's tucked away with a beautiful blue tone. We are already planning to have a family dinner in the private dining space there. Upstairs, the staff was welcoming and friendly. With so many tables for the friend and family evening they were a little overwhelmed but I know it will just get better and better! Our waitress Natalie was kind and accommodating. We had the stuffed peppers for an appetizer as well as the calamari. Both were delicious but be prepared when they say hot peppers, they aren't kidding! These are not for the faint of heart and if you don't like spicy, you probably want to steer clear of this appetizer. I'm sure all of them are very delicious because even though I don't like spicy, the flavor of those stuffed peppers was amazing! The portion sizes are large and we were very well fed. I had the Eggplant Parmesan which was delicious. My husband had the Lasagna and that was equally delicious! The desserts were incredible. The chocolate cake is Rich and decadent and the accompanying ice cream is one of the best I've ever had! I highly recommend you go here. I know they will continue to do a great job. This is the family who also owns the awesome Aviator in Cleveland, So I already know they will be successful! Make sure to check this out and I can't imagine how absolutely stunning an event here would be!

EDIT: the lead chef invited all of us back to resolve the issue and give us a private experience with her to make up for everything that happened. All of us were pleasantly surprised and more than happy with the outcome for today, fathers day. Everything was cooked perfectly, delicious, flavorful, everyone was attentive to our needs. We got to try their new menu before anyone else and it was fantastic. Compared to the first time, this experience was above and beyond and convinced us to come back. We gave compliments to the chef, and we will be back now after this experience. Thank you for a lovely evening and taking the time to make sure your clients are happy that meant so much to us. Changed my 1 star up. So extremely disappointed. There were 8 of us, all excited to try this heard some good things and some bad but wanted to try for ourselves. We will never be back after our first time. Everything was so expensive for very basic food. They claim it's all made in house. There's NO way it is and if it truly is, they need to do better. All of the baguettes used for any appetizer or salads were rock solid we banged them on the plates that's how hard they were. Their cheese and meat platter they do not list everything that is on the plate which they should because we were unaware blue cheese comes in it and someone in our party is highly allergic. The cocktails could be better. The 2 breads they bring our for the table one is cheese one is plain, they're not warm they're cold. They give you butter with a oil on it and a olive mix which wouldn't be bad if the bread could be spread on the bread couldn't even do that. The main courses, mine was okay was the classic bolagnase with steak, the steak was chewy and mostly fat but was cooked correctly. We had a seafood risotto that wasn't that great as well as the lobster pasta. Veak marsala says it comes with a herb pasta all it is is a what seemed like butter noodles with cilantro. Dessert was okay, but definitely not what a torte is cheesecake could've been better too. Our table was very wobbly and to make up for it they gave us more dessert which we didn't really want. When asked about the house salad, I asked if we could get Caesar and they said yes for a upcharge that upcharge turned into full price. Not acceptable you need to tell people that it is full price and not state upcharge there's a very big difference in pricing there and we wouldn't have gotten that if we would've known. We were just over the whole experience even the checks some things were put on the wrong person's check but we just wanted to leave so didn't want to wait to change it. It seems like they are trying too hard to be authentic Italian food and it clearly isn't. Even the dressing for the Caesar there's no way that was house made, tasted like from a bottle. It has a very distinct flavor when it's freshly made this wasn't it. The atmosphere is nice it's a gorgeous place but trying to constantly remind you everything is house made, pushing it made it very clear it actually isn't. Very expensive for basic dishes. Edit: my mom got food poisoning from her dish the seafood risotto

Absolutely Perfect Wedding Reception at Via Roma – May 25, 2025 We had our wedding reception at Via Roma on May 25, 2025, and it was truly everything we hoped for and more. From the very beginning, Jen was there every step of the way — her support, organization, and attention to detail made the entire planning process effortless and stress-free. She is simply amazing! The entire Via Roma staff was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that every part of our celebration went smoothly. Our guests are still raving about the exceptional food and top-notch service. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and full of joy. We felt completely taken care of and were able to truly enjoy every moment of our special day. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers incredible service, delicious food, and a seamless experience, I can’t recommend Via Roma enough. They made our wedding reception unforgettable!

Restaurant and location for events. Tastefully furnished. The staff are very friendly. The selection of dishes is very promising. The bread and olive pesto that we were served before the meal was very tasty. Unfortunately, it is not served with olive oil, but with butter. I had the tagliatelle al vongole. Mussels in white wine sauce . With this food, it's all about the fresh ingredients and fresh preparation. I doubt that my food was freshly prepared. The pasta had certainly been boiled beforehand. Unfortunately, far too much salt was used. I also had the feeling that there was cheese in the food. That is to say, the normal fine elegance of this meal, with the fine taste of the mussels was not identifiable. My companions had a salad, which was very good, and pasta with meatballs. They were both very satisfied. For me, the restaurant was allowed to celebrate Italian cuisine a little more authentically.

It’s my second time visiting and I’m already planning on when I can dine again! I’m really impressed with the pasta dishes and love the atmosphere. It’s cozy and has so many separate dining areas that feel intimate. So far, the gnocchi and pappardelle are my favorites! The fig toasts and were a fantastic starter, definitely recommend. They make great cocktails and I’ve never gotten a wine I didn’t like. I would highly recommend Via Roma!

We have enjoyed a number of great meals at Via Roma. Amongst the dishes that we have enjoyed are the Fritto Misto and Artichoke appetizers, various pastas, the Branzino, Short Rib and Veal Osso Bucco entrees. It's clear that the kitchen puts a lot of care into the preparation of the dishes and the service is excellent as well. Special call out to Alecia who has taken great care of us the last couple of visits. We are so happy to have a dining option like Via Roma in our neighborhood!
