I've actually eaten in Romanza a few times now and its one of those rare gems that seem to be so few and far between, (especially in Drogheda). The food is superb, the service is top notch and the atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and inviting. The menu choices are excellent also, i'm quite a fussy eater myself so its always good to see a good list of choices. The main thing i found though is the value for money that the restaurant represents is fantastic, €70.00 goes an awful long way in this restaurant. I cant recommend this place enough.

We had a table booked for 5 people. On arrival we were met by a member of staff inside the door who when we told the name of the booking just proceeded to point for us where to sit. I feel normally you should be shown to your table. After we had sitted we had our menus for about 20 minutes before we were asked for a drink. After our wine arrived another 10 minutes past before our order was taken. Finally after almost 35 minutes we were eagerly awaiting our food. The starters arrived and were presented beautifully and tasted as good as they looked. Felt this was going to be a good meal. However on arrival of the mains the evening turned for the worse. One of my companions order paella. Now the rice could have been used to hang wallpaper it was so gluppy. It was returned to be replaced by a Spaghetti Mafioso (meatballs) which one of our other companions was really enjoying. However the replacement meal came out absolutely steaming hot. The meatballs did not taste the same as the other bowl and due to the heat of the dish it sat untouched for over 10 minutes to allow it to cool down. After the time had elapsed it was still too hot. The waiter was called, who if i recall had not delivered a bottle of beer that had been asked for 10 minutes earlier. It was explained to the waiter the meal we felt had been microwaved where he proceeded to argue this and that the restaurant does not have any microwaves in its kitchen( far this hard to believe) when the plate was lifted to show the waiter he proceeded to retort " do not shove the plate in my face" and he stormed off. The bill was asked for immediately. The paella/spaghetti dish was removed from the bill but we requested it be reinstated which it was. 225 euros for this absolute waste of money. The member of staff that greeted us on arrival was still pointing and basically not doing anything at all ( dont even know why he was there). Would not recommend Romanza and we will not be returning.

I spotted the board with earlybird offer, I thought not bad for 2 courses, in fact it was excellent value as the food was excellent. As mentioned by another reviewer I was asked to take whatever table I fancied, the place was empty as it was just before 6pm on a Friday. Took a table for 2, they appear to have 2 different styles of 2 seater tables. I made mistake of going for the type which was to narrow to allow you to pull chair into table. Just a small thing to watch for. I had Salad Nicoise to start and Hake for mains. Both courses can only be described as excellent, both presented very well. The Tuna was beautifully cooked and lovely and pink on the inside. The Hake was lovely and a real pleasant surprise to find on the menu, it was cooked on a cast iron dish which kept the fish nice and hot. It was cooked with olive oil and chunks of lemon and tasted great and not overcooked. I also had a very nice glass of organic white wine. I gave 4 for atmosphere because it was empty and music was bit to high, though I did like selection of music. Total bill was less than €25 including wine, I will certainly be going back.

Very disappointed with our visit. There were 4 adults and 2 children in our party for lunch. The welcome was poor - we had a reservation for 6 including 1 high chair but the waitress just told us to sit wherever we liked, even though there was no table big enough. The waiter was rude - telling my wife she had to move the buggy even though she was still unpacking things for the baby. There was quite a delay in offering us a drink and we were not offered bread. It was a special occassion and I suggested we eat off the main menu rather than the lunch specials (the specials did seem very good value). I was shocked at the expensive bill - 4 pasta dishes, 3 starters, 3 desserts and 3 coffees, 1 childrens pasta + ice cream, 1 bottle of wine came to EURO 150 for lunch! It was my first time eating a "Sicilian" cheesecake - does "Sicilian" mean small and stale? The neighbouring table returned a rice dish which had undercooked rice. At best the staff were charmless and poorly trained. The food was OK but at that price very bad value.

Went here again with friends, had a beautiful experience. Would like to go back with my husband, very intimate atmosphere with excellent choice and excellent food. Service was very good both times and the food lovely again.all at very reasonable prices. Very pleasant smoking area at the back so no need to stand on the street either. A new favourite!

I think this is more than just an Italian restaurant it has a more mediterranean menu, the menu has a lot of fish dishes & as a non-fish eater I think repeat visits will be limited unless the non-fish menu changes regularly. This is not to take away from the excellent starters & mains which we all really enjoyed, the deserts were a let down. Well worth a visit!
