We were in St John 5 years ago and had gone to Cafe Roma. It was an excellent meal then, so we tried it again last week when we were visiting. We had another EXCELLENT meal! The wine selections are great, the house salads are huge and excellent, my husband's seafood marinara and my seafood Puttanesca were some of the... More

Our meal was great! The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Just note that the bathroom is almost across the street, outside in a bad area!

I don't have the words to describe how amazing our meal was! From the moment we sat down the experience was wonderful. The ambiance was laid back and comfortable and the waitstaff was helpful and friendly. I would never have thought that going up that short flight of stairs to Cafe Roma would be the best meal of the entire... More

Who knew you could find such great Italian food in the Caribbean? The food here was just delightful and the atmosphere was just as lovely. We couldn't believe how great the food was. Everything is freshly prepared, so be patient...it is totally worth the wait! The service was wonderful and we felt very well taken care of. The fettucini alfredo... More

Get the asparagus appetizer. We also had the eggplant pasta- sooo delicious! Finish with Tiramisu. Although it's not right on the water in cruz bay, if you want flavorful italian and quality ingredients it's totally better than a lot of the restaurants that are right on the water. And cheaper too. Food isn't cheap on the island, but their prices... More

We stopped at this place on the recommenation of our Captain. He is from NY and said the pizza here was as good as any he had in NY. Turns out he was right! The crust was not too thin, not too thick. The tomato sauce had just the right amount of spice. It really did compare very well to... More

On my last trip to St John, Cafe Roma came highly recommended by the locals and it was most definitely a great restaurant. It was our favorite. I'm returning in a month and I'm anxious to see if the negative reviews are founded or not. I sure hope it's just as wonderful now as it was then.

Food was great, locally grown organic salad, Chicken Florentine was excellent and the 3 layer chocolate cake was a big hit with our daughters, perfect with kids. Nothing to complain about and I can usually find something! Anna-Marie was very helpful with the menu & local beaches!
