Romano’s

The Romano’s on US 1 is much better than the beach location. Linguine w clam pie is excellent and a must try. They even have happy hour

Had the chance to visit again when we came down this year. Probably the best Italian restaurant I have ever been too. Excellent pizza, pasta and the service is top notch. Prices are extremely reasonable. Go to this restaurant– you will not be disappointed.

We got there on a Wednesday night. Ordered the calamari which was not bad and the chicken marsala. After an hour of waiting for our food and no apologies from the manager or owner we paid for our drinks and appetizer and left. We will not go back.

I have been eating and getting delivery from here for about 4 years. We always loved it. Though in recent months orders would get messed up, rude service and recently when I went they messed up my order and tried to tell me to take something that I didn’t order because that’s how it got entered in their computer. Not only did they tell me that, he continued to me they are basically the same and I should just take it. What upset me was I knew what I ordered and we didn’t want what they tried to give us. And I don’t like to be told just cause we messed up you should just deal with it. And there have been times that they hadn’t even made my order and didn’t realize it till I got there. Needless to say I’m pretty sure I’m done giving them second chances.

Looked promising. Fried ravioli was good, Caesar salad was good also. But… we knew the Pizza was was bad as soon as they brought it out. Appeared to be a frozen pizza they added fresh mozzarella and sprinkled with fresh basil. As a matter of fact I’ve much better frozen pizza from a grocery store.

The food here is pretty good, but if you’re looking for great service, you’ll be out of luck. Our server, Joey, went off on me for a full minute about me making an allegedly sassy face at him when he was bossing the table around about where to put the menus. I heard him talking to another couple who got up to leave (the food was taking too long, I think) and Joey said to them, «I’m sorry you guys couldn’t wait another MINUTE AND A HALF for your food.» Maybe Joey the Romano’s server shouldn’t have joined the food service industry if he hates people so much.

NEVER AGAIN. The spaghetti was bland! So overpriced, definitely not worth the money. My homemade spaghetti tastes 1000x’s better than this garbage. Clams in garlic butter sauce had wayyyy too much garlic in it, didnt think it was possible to go overboard with the garlic, but they found a way. Had to re-​season the spaghetti to make it even worth eating. Everything was so awful we didnt even bother to touch the pizza. Hope the raccoon enjoyed the food more than we did.

Best pizza in St Augustine. Slow to deliver but worth the wait. Worth every penny. Not greasy, great flavor. The antipasto salad is worth ordering as well and the subs are delightful.

Wow! Amazing pizza! We had the meatball parmigiana with the house gravy on top. Omg! Amazing! Great Italian beer too! And fabulous service! You must go!

I moved back to St. Augustine from Sicily so I checked out every pizza place in town. This Romanos on US 1 is by far the best pizza! The dough that they make — alone is worth getting pizza. They make their own ricotta too. We have also ordered eggplant and meatball subs and dinners and all were excellent. We go there once a week and bring anyone visiting with us. No, I get a kickback and I’m not related to anyone at the restaurant! It’s just great food.

My family had a poor experience because they were not family friendly. We weren’t allowed to share plates with our two daughters and there is no child’s menu or portions. We could share if we paid «fees» for each child we shared our plate with. We left and went to the restaurant next to it!

Delicious food and great service! Had the antipasto salad and a pizza. It was delicious and we had plenty leftover for the next day!

We dropped here on the way to Castillo de San Marcos. We ordered pizza and kids spaghetties. It was great! Firmly recommend!!!

This place is amazing! We got a calzone and it was giant! It was longer than my arm! It was so cheesy and delicious! Our waitress was very nice and we didn’t have to wait long. All around great service, food, and atmosphere. I’m so glad I live close to a fantastic restaurant, because I will be back! Highly recommended.

Looking for the best Italian in town? This is it! Our server Madison was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable guiding us through our meal like a veteran gondalier on the canals of Venice. We started with the bar pizza margarehta style, it was as crispy as thin as a razor and had true San Marzano tomato flavor. The meal reached it’s crescendo with Veal frances the sauce danced a tango on my tongue. Over all one of the best meals of my life.

Ended up ordering from here today when our first choice wasn’t open. We got a large Mediterranean pizza — think kalamata olives, banana peppers, tomatoes, etc.
The place was unsettlingly slow when my sister picked the pizza up. We took one bite and that was enough to sell us!
The crust is a medium thickness — no sogginess at all. The flavor of this pizza was delicious — seasoned and had some spicyness that I wasn’t expecting! The sauce is a full-​bodied vinaigrette, which was surprising but highly pleasing. 4 hungry girls downed a large (2 slices each) and we were all enjoying immensely.
You should order a pizza from this place!

Great attempt at NY style pizza for our town. It’s always good. The dishes I’ve had on the restaurant side were also very tasty. My only complaint is that when ordering delivery, it takes anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour to arrive. They are always upfront about the wait though. It’s good stuff, so just order early so you’re not starving by the time it arrives!

Great neighborhood pizza place on one side, yummy Italian restaurant on the other side. Really good salads. Don’t miss the pasta fagioli!

Compared to the pizza I’ve had in Florida, Romano’s was quite good. It’s definitely the NY/​NJ style pizza that I love. The owner is from NJ so this makes sense! Their Grandma pizza was absolutely delicious and I hadn’t seen it at all since I’ve been in FL other than at Romano’s. Their cheese pizza and veggie pizza was okay. Not the best I’ve ever had but really good for Florida. Basically, this place is fantastic compared to FL pizza but would be considered lacking if compared to other NJ/​NY pizza.

Romanos is sort of a strange concept. (and that’s not a bad thing.) You’ve got this one side to eat on that’s really, really nice and sort of elegant with a large menu that I believe includes sales and typical traditional pasta dishes. Then you have the side that we sat on; the typical «good old pizzeria» side with louder music and a view of all of the people that were working their tails off in the kitchen. The odd part? Both side are like completely shut off from each other except for access to the kitchen. I was in a t-​shirt and flops so the wife was saying that she was glad that sat on the «casual» side.
We were feeling boring so we opted for a large cheese pizza and I got a couple of Bud Lights. There was only on server on hand this particular Sunday night and it really looked like she could use a ton of help because the phone and the line for takeout orders was at one time 8 people deep. Now, I know what some of you are thinking; this place was staff incorrectly and blah, blah, blah. Nope. She was as fast as she could be and when approached about the fact that it was only her it was a server’s worst nightmare; the dreaded «person that will call out last minute!» I can excuse that and in fact, I saw the fact that the phone never stopped ringing and the line of people getting their food as a sign that we were going to have pretty damn good pizza!
And it was. We’re no reinventing the wheel here folks. Hot extra cheese pizza with well-​done crust and ice cold Bud Lights. We got out of there for a 20 spot and both me and the wife will come back and this time we’re going to try and sit on the fancy side and eat pasta! Good stuff, we’ll be back.
On a funny side note, there was a lady that was breast feeding a baby (tastefully and covered) sited in the booth that was directly under the television. I was watching the TV but I’m virtually certain that the lady thought I was staring at her in an attempt to get a peek at her boob. She switched sides with her husband and put her back to us and then he pointed at me. Hahahaha. My wife got a massive kick out of me being labeled a perv just for watching «NASCAR’s most Dangerous Moments» on Speed.
