Quote: Considering I now live in a small town in Kansas, when I make it to the big city of Hays, usually once a week, dining out is always on the list of things to do. Folks in a small town talk, and when they talk about Italian food in Hays; there is one place they all mention: Roma’s Italian Restaurant.

My family and I went to Roma’s between lunch and suppertime on a Sunday afternoon. It was for this reason that I was surprised to see that we were not alone in our quest for Italian food. There were several full tables of families besides us eating. I imagine they do a great business on the normal dining hours for most Kansans.

After being seated we had our drinks ordered quickly and began looking over the menu. The menu is not too overwhelming, but it was hard to make a quick choice, at least for me it was. While still deciding what to eat, warm bread was brought to the table, and eating this caused me to even take more time deciding what to order. The bread was great, and went well with the individual whipped butter containers already located at the tables. I finally settled with the Pasta Sampler, which included: lasagna, manicotti, and spinach ravioli topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. The meal also came with a salad, which was served before the meal arrived, and went well with the warm bread. The house Italian dressing was fantastic, and I’m glad I went outside of my comfort level of always ordering Caesar dressing with my salad. The price was also great for my choice, considering it came with a salad and all the bread you could eat. It was only $6.95, and for the quality and service I received, it was worth every penny. My wife went with the lobster ravioli for only $9.95, and was not disappointed either. I tried a taste of her food and was impressed with the sauce and the visible chunks of lobster contained therein. Magnificento!

Roma’s has a bar, and they serve beer and wine. This is great, considering that wine and Italian food goes so well together, and some folks just like a nice cold beer with their meal anyways. They also serve Pepsi products and iced tea.

Roma’s has appetizers, salads, hot subs, baked pasta, house pasta, chicken entrées, seafood entrées, pizza, a children’s menu, lunch specials, and desserts. They are open Tuesday through Thursday from 11am to 9:30 pm and Friday through Saturday from 11am to 10pm. They are closed on Mondays.
