"Popped into Roma after a quick Google search as we wanted to grab a spot of lunch before going to the Sunderland Empire for Disney's Beauty and the Beast (amazing sow by the way, go see it). There was a brief wait as we entered,...as, although it was busy, there only appeared to be two waiting staff, however, we were quickly shown to a table. I think we arrived at the right time, as very soon all tables were taken. We scanned the menu, and staff came over to take our order. Between us we ordered potato skins, a meatball pizza, lasagne, and a Contadina risotto, along with some drinks. The drinks came quickly, and it was whilst having a sly peek at what other customers were having we realised that we made a mistake. The portions looked massive. Even the kids portions! Anyway, our food came fairly quickly, and, sure enough, portions were huge! I'm not even exaggerating. For the price that you're paying (all you were getting portions larger than you would expect. I've been to big name Italian places and gotten far less food for much more money. My nephew enjoyed the pizza, we all did. It was very tasty with a lovely tomato sauce base. The meatballs seemed to be handmade and made from a beef mince, I could be wrong, but they were lovely and moist. The lasagne, with came with a slice of rustic bread was an absolute treat. Huge in size, very cheesy, and filled with meat. Now, I'm a fan of risotto and this (which contained chunks of chicken) was very, very nice. Probably amongst the best I've ever had. The potato skins might as well be renamed jacket potatoes, as the majority were thick. They did not skimp on anything here! Staff, despite being busy, and only two of them waiting on tables, were brilliant. Nothing was too much bother for them, they were very polite and attentive. During the proceedings someone was celebrating their birthday and all the staff, even kitchen, came out to make some noise and to sing. The person celebrating absolutely loved it. The whole thing added to an awesome lunchtime, with great food, great company, and great staff. From now on, this is my go to place whenever I am in Sunderland, and certainly before any theatre shows, as I was full right up until night time! Oh, the price? Under for four meals, a starter, and several drinks. This is chump change for the brilliant quality of the food. Marvellous."

We went to see a show and just by off chance popped into see if we could get a table. We got a nice window view table, just happened to be early bird menu as well. The garlic mushrooms were really lovely. We also had...a garlic bread with cheese for starters. Knowing how big both portions were, we would have just ordered starter between us. Meal mails, both were really lovely and tasty. Wine was such a great price, a large glass being under Both guys nice and friendly, happily go again. Highly recommend.
