This is the second time to St Martin and this is the second time we chose to go back to Roma. The food is fantastic. The fresh pasta they serve is what brought us back. They have a wide range of wine available. The food menu is what you would expect at an Italian style restaurant. We were traveling with another couple, we all ordered something different and we were all extremely happy with the quality and the price. Our server on this visit was Shana. She was fun, knowledgeable and took our overall experience to the next level. Thank you! This is a great stop in Maho. Highly recommended!

Roma in St. Maarten is an absolute must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere that set the perfect tone for a great dining experience. The food was fantastic! We started with a warm bread service that was not only delicious but also a lovely way to kick off the meal. The wood-fired pizza was a standout—perfectly cooked with a delightful crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. Every dish we tried showcased the quality and care that goes into their menu. The service was also top-notch. Our server, Shana, was amazing. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome throughout the evening. Her exceptional service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. With its awesome vibe, delicious food, and great service, Roma is a gem in St. Maarten. We’ll definitely be back for more!

This is a spot that we have been to in the past and it continues to be a go to but I was less impressed with the food this time around than I have been in the past. the service continues to be very good and the atmosphere is as good as it gets on the island. I ordered the arancini and, although it was a large order, the individual rice balls were very crunchy and the accompanying sauce was not very appetizing. I also ordered the snapper that came with a very sweet sauce that again wasn't what I had expected. The others in our party had ordered a house salad, steak, papparadelle bolognese and linguine vongole, all of which were very good and happily enjoyed.

After reading such great reviews we were excited to go to dinner so we could experience the food and atmosphere, unfortunately we were left wanting. After being shown to a table we were delivered oil and told bread was on the way, poured the oil waited for the bread, alas to no avail. The pizza was bland and the lasagne was barely warm and had clearly been microwaved, not for long enough. Poor at best.

We’ve been visiting since 1998 and this probably was my favorite meal I’ve had on the island, def top 3! My only complaint was we went our last night on vacation because otherwise we would’ve visited twice! This will absolutely be a new one on our list of places we must eat when we come visit. We made reservations and were promptly seated, the restaurant is gorgeous there’s an outdoor area w candles and then inside is lively and semi upscale in a really trendy way. I saw people dressed in resort wear for dinner and then some dressed a little down. We started with two appetizers the tuna tartare and the scallops. Both were so different of each other so we didn’t have a favorite over the other, the tuna was incredibly light and fresh, refreshing with the perfect balance w acidity. The scallops were served warm w a rich sauce and beautiful pastry, both were absolutely incredible. For entrees we got carbonara and the pappardelle with bolognese and added the veal meatballs. THEY WERE AMAZING. We had first bites and looked at each other like oh yeah this is incredible. The carbonara had nice pieces of crispy pork cheeks in there a perfect ratio. The bolognese was great and the meatballs are a must try! We both had leftovers and definitely enjoyed them the next day for breakfast before our flight, normally I throw out leftovers but this was too good to waste. We enjoyed a bottle (or 2) of really great wine for a really great price and dinner also came w a variety of fresh warm bread with olive oil. We finished w tiramisu and chocolate gelato and they also were delicious as expected based on everything else we ordered. I can’t wait to come back to try the key like crème brûlée. The dessert menu was extensive in a good way, so many tempting things. One thing I really appreciated was I noticed wait staff brining after dinner limoncello to the guests around us. I had been craving chocolate which is why we got the desserts we chose and I was thinking how limoncello wasn’t something I was in the mood for. Our waitress brought us what I believe was baileys and it was the perfect ending to our favorite meal of the week. I thanked her for noticing, and bringing us something that paired better w our desserts it was like she read my mind. I appreciated the subtle attentiveness of that. Please don’t overlook this one it’s a must try regardless of what side of the island you’re staying on!

We had been wanting to give Roma a try since our visit last year, and finally had dinner there tonight. It’s a once and done for us. Two people in our group had the Branzino, which was presented nicely on the plate, but there was an overwhelming amount of the phyllo crust and an underwhelming amount of fish. One person had the ravioli and wasn’t impressed and the sauce was bland. I had pizza and it wasn’t anything special….pretty generic. My husband, who rarely, if ever, complains about his meals, was very unhappy with the Branzino. I have read such glowing reports about Roma and it definitely didn’t live up to our expectations.

My husband and I decided to try Roma based on many glowing reviews. Let's just say we were definitely impressed. We arrived a few minutes before they opened thanks to lighter than normal traffic. Shanna was there and enjoying her own dinner before the rush. She sat us immediately despite being early and gave us menus to peruse. There are so many choices! The menu mentioned truffles (the tuber not the chocolate) when available. When we asked Shanna about them, she was proud to tell us that they import them from Italy and that yes they were in fact real truffles not truffle oil. With that said, Michael elected the Tartfufa pasta while I chose the Gorgonzola Gnocchi. Our plates arrived very quickly and were served with a flourish. The gentleman bringing the plates asked us if we wanted fresh grated parmesan which we said yes to. I grabbed my husband's plate to enjoy the aroma of truffles. It was amazing. And he declared the dish superb. My gnocchi were also amazing. Shanna and Michelle were attentive without being overly attentive while we ate. After dinner, we had to try the desserts. Shanna was again proud to tell me that they make the cannoli shells every day. I got the cannoli while Michael got the semifreddo. Again, both dishes were delectable. What an upgrade from the former Cheri's that used to be in that space. We will definitely be back to Roma! T

The food was surprisingly authentic, but also very delicious. My wife and I shared the Arancini as a starter, which had a crisp exterior and a creamy interior. We loved both of our entrées and the cannoli for dessert was one of the best I’ve ever had Yalaine was so friendly and added to the enjoyment of our experience.

We were quite excited to try Roma based on all the high reviews & claim of "homemade pasta". The meal was ok, but the pasta mains were definitely underwhelming. I'll start with the appetizers - which were actually the best part of the meal. The fish crudo of the day was pretty decent and the veal meatballs were great. Their wine list is ok - however they were out of the first French white that I ordered ( and the wine list didn't have a ton of options, so running out of whites to offer in a climate this hot?). We ended up getting a Sancerre that did the trick. The pasta mains were both a disappointment; I had the linguine vongole, and my partner had the carbonara. The vongole just didn't hit right, lacked flavor and the full garlic/wine combo that you need to pull this dish off. Unfortunately I've been ordering vongole all over the island trying to forget about how disappointing this one was. As for the carbonara, it was too much in terms of the sauce and just dense and thick as opposed to rich and flavorful. There is simply no way those pastas are homemade - we've been eating and seeking handmade pasta everywhere, and this place is not offering that. The atmosphere is ok, and this place does the job for those looking for basic pasta dishes. Just not for us...

Dear VesteDemitte, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We appreciate your detailed review and are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We want to assure you that our pastas are indeed homemade daily with great care and dedication. We strive to offer authentic and delicious dishes, and we regret that our homemade pasta mains did not meet your taste. Regarding the wine selection, we acknowledge that being on a Caribbean island can sometimes result in temporary shortages from our suppliers. While we aim to maintain a robust inventory, certain circumstances are beyond our control. However, we do offer a wine list with 98 references, including 38 whites and 60 reds mostly from Italy, France and a bit of California. We are glad that the Sancerre we suggested was a satisfactory replacement for you. We are glad you enjoyed the appetizers and appreciate your positive remarks about the fish crudo and veal meatballs. Your feedback on the linguine vongole and carbonara will be shared with our culinary team to ensure we continue to improve. Thank you again for your visit and your valuable insights. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Kind regards, Marco ROMA

The food and service were amazing! Yolaine, our waitress was attentive and made our experience even better, 11/10!! My husband and I like to share food so we can taste everything and she was kind enough to separate everything so we each had our own plates instead of reaching for one another’s! She went the extra mile and made our experience even better! Our last full night of vacation and we are heading there again! :)

We greatly enjoyed the opportunity to eat at Roma, 4 times over 15 days. That is the most number of times we have visited a restaurant, in a 2 week stay, in 30+ visits to Sint Maarten. From beginning to end, each of our visits was a memorable occasion with wonderful food, great service and just an overall exceptional dining experience. Marco and Matteo have created an amazing establishment and populated it with amazing staff. We had the pleasure of having Yolaine as our waitress, each visit, and the service and interaction she provided was over the top. Yolaine was supported by Michelle, Alecia, Shana and many others all of whom were wonderful in providing us with an amazing dining experience.

Great food at Ro a. We started off with the polenta fries with the sun-dried tomato dipping sauce, the sauce was fabulous. They give us a basket of foccacia bread which was very good. We ordered ultimate chicken parm and the bone in veal chop for entrees and I’ve eaten at a lot of top notch restaurants and the veal chop was too 2 I’ve ever had. I liked the twist on the ultimate chicken parm with the addition of arga, procuitto, shaved parm and the balsamic drizzle. We split the tiramisu for dessert and that was amazing! We ate on the side patio which was and young could also people watch. Make a reservation ahead it books quickly!

Went here with my family while we were on vacation. Great location, nice ambience, and good food! Everyone enjoyed their meals and left full - dishes were a great portion size. Highly recommend ordering the Gnocci which seemed to just melt in your mouth. Key Lime Crème Brulee was an interesting twist I haven't ever had that was pretty good. And I know it's just gelato, but their pistachio had to have been one of the best I've ever had. Side tip, if you can't find parking, there is a very cheap parking garage on the other side of the road slightly up the street. It's like a dollar an hour.

Was second time in this restaurant. Our server was Shana. A very professional pleasant polite smiling lady. She knew when to bring the food and drinks in a perfect timing until we were ready to leave. I normally don’t do reviews. I am doing it now because I guess it’s the first time I am delighted from such a pleasant dinner and Shana certainly did enhanced it as the best server we had in a very long time. The food was also tops and the chef and his aids are also to be thanked. I will be back with my teammates and clients as i already referred your restaurant to clients Thanks a lot to all Jean-Pierre ( JP )

A new restaurant has raised the bar for dining in Maho. Four of us ate at Roma and the food and service were equal to the best cosmopolitan restaurants. We shared an elegant appetizer tray with various meat and cheese concoctions that that let us know we were in for a treat. Having a great waiter or waitress makes a lot of difference. Our waitress, Shana, gave our friend advice about the San Pietro fish dish that introduced him to a new treat. My Pappardelle Bolognese was excellent, full of a savory meat sauce AND meatballs that was enough for a second meal. My wife had Roasted Pumpkin Agnolotti that she loved, another good option suggested by Shana. Our other friend had a Risotto dish that was enough for a second meal as well. We all had desserts that were top tier, Key Lime Crème Brulee, crunchy almond-caramel gelato and a chocolate mousse. We were given a tall shot of Limoncello gratis which was nicely balanced. We will be back. Put this on your list when you want fine dining in a casual upscale location.
