Thank you to Jason and the lovely staff who treated my very large family to a most memorable and enjoyable Christmas Eve dinner. I started with the arancini which was piping hot and full of flavour. The crumb was crisp and it was a tasty start to the meal.
Let’s talk about the fish. I ordered barramundi which was oven baked and served with potato, salad and a lemon sauce which was to die for. The fish was cooked to perfection, moist and seasoned perfectly. Fresh fish cooked respectfully.
Finally I had the orange and Cointreau panda cotta served with a perfect quenelle of vanilla ice cream, orange segments and a raspberry sauce. Enjoyed to the very last mouthful.
What a pleasant surprise to find a local Italian doing quality food at a reasonable price with friendly attentive service.

Out for a Thursday night meal with the girls before going to the movies. We found this place on the internet as it was close to Carousel Hoyts. It had good reviews so decided to try it out. The restaurant was very relaxed and the staff very friendly. The four of us loved this place. The food was delicious. We had the arancini (italian rice balls) and the garlic prawns for an entree to share, SOOOO GOOD. I had the chilli crab Pasta for my main and this is now my go to place for chilli crab. I tried my friends gnocchi and it was really good.  We are definately going here again next time we go to the movies. Thanks Roman Palace

Ventured here on a spur of the moment decision to head out for dinner.  Glad we did. 
We were greeted warmly by Staff, who were very friendly and our table setting was nicely laid with fabric serviettes.  

The Roman Palace has been around for a long time but sadly the decor is still letting it down.  Other reviewers have mentioned a musty smell in the room, possibly from the carpet enduring a mishap with the water fountain.  The fountain eyesore needs to go! Owners could maybe replace it with a pizza oven or something to match the Mediterranean decor. 

Anyway, onto the food.  Firstly we shared some Garlic Bread.  Pretty tasty but standard fare.   The two mains we ordered were absolutely delicious.  Surf and Turf and Fettuccine Salmone.  Both were flavourful and well cooked. The steak, possibly the best I've had in a long time was chargrilled to the desired requirement. The accompanying creamy garlic sauce was delicious and plentiful and the two small prawns atop the steak were yummy (for the price I'd expect maybe one or two more though).  One small complaint....I'd like to see a nice Italian Salad and some big crunchy chips accompany the steak instead of the tiny French Fries and limp lettuce.   The other dish, Fettuccine Salmone was well made and the sauce wasn't overly heavy. Portion size was bang on.  The pasta was also well cooked.  A side order of Italian Salad was spot on but next time I'd rather see it on my plate rather than paying extra for it. 

We skipped desserts but will definitely go back for another visit. 

Well done Roman Palace but please make some decor changes.  So much potential.

Authentic Italian.. garlic bread was great.  Pasta was all freshly made... and the sauces were nice.  Definitely one of the better Italian restaurants I've been to.  The only negative thing to me was the carpet in restaurant.  Had a very musty smell when you first walk in... a bit like a cheap hotel.  Carpet and restaurants don't go because you can never really keep them clean.   Definitely go again.

One of classic Italian restaurant in town. They have never failed to satisfy us since years ago. A family run restaurant that offers good homestyle Italian cooking to me. The staffs are very attentive and always smiling, this is definitely a good vibe.

Their Chilli Mussels which is very generous in plump fresh mussels bathing in rich house special tomato sauce with a hint of wine flavour, definitely worth a try for seafood lovers. Spaghetti Marinara that they have to offer here is one of my favourites for years. Fresh seafood cooked just perfectly in a balanced tomato and rich cream sauce, married together with perfect al dente spaghetti.

Last but not least, their Salsiccia Pizza is too good to be missed for pizza lovers who love generous amount of good quality Italian sausages and pork. Many other good food that they have to offer. So come, dine and enjoy the meal here!

I have always driven past here, never thought I would enter. So glad we did! We are Italian so are harsh critics and we liked it a lot. It was like stepping back in time or visiting a fake Caesars Palace in Las Vegas! Cute old Italian man, devoted to great service and genuine meals and even traditional Italian desserts. Had a delicious spaghetti marinara and a thin crusty pizza with genuine Italian topping, cooked perfectly. Only reason we don't give this experience a 4.5-5 is because the place smells a little funky, probably due to the age of the carpet and furniture. So cute though and will return with our family!

My boyfriend and i wanted to have Italian food on my birthday, and Roman Palace was the only one that opens on Sundays. After seeing many good reviews about the restaurant online, we decided to give it a try. My night turned out perfectly and we both fell in love with this place even though we'd only been there for the first time. The atmosphere is very warm and historical, the staffs are very friendly, they don't observe you too much to make you uncomfortable. The food was absolutely delicious, we had a starter, a seafood pasta and a pizza. They were all fresh and tasted amazing, much better than Ciao Italian. I was very happy that we came here for my birthday, definitely return.

Highly recommended!!!

Service is good and the wait staff are friendly.

The food does not taste mass produced and the flavours have a welcome home style edge.

All in all a nice place to visit.

Very well thought out menu. I enjoyed the pleasant surroundings. Also the service was excellent and the staff. The staff were helpful in packing our generous Italian servings that we couldn't finish so as we could enjoy another day.

Date night again and pining for a little Italian!

I've passed this place a few times and wondered if it was open.  I gave them a call to see if I needed to book and was greeted by a very friendly man with an Italian accent telling me to come down and join them!

It's very clean and tidy inside and very kid friendly with some interesting decorations including a water feature inside.

All the staff are friendly.

Garlic bread was beautiful.  The Gnocchi was hand made on the premises and was just lovely.  The arancini was very nice also.  The pizza was a little disappointing, but not terrible. 

Really nice place, good food and great service.

Fantastic!. We had a lovely evening at the Roman Palace Italian Restaurant. The food was authentic and service was very good. The lasagna was the best I’ve had in a long time. For mains I had the lamb shanks which I was also very happy with. I was full but squeezed in the tiramisu for dessert! Absolutely delicious. It’s great to have such a good restaurant in the area. We were all very happy and we’ll be back soon. Recommended.

Authentic Italian Food. This place is a must! The food tastes like the food I ate in Italy. So much flavour and you never leave an empty plate.
The decor is outdated but it sets the scene, a waterfall in the middle of the tables is something different.
Visit this restaurant you wont be sorry :-)

Great night! will be going again. Wow! Simple, tasty, great value food. Went with my partner and his two friends two weeks ago. Had a buffalo mozzarella dish they had on as an entree special to share and it was sooooo good. I had a pizza prosciutto for my mains, it's one of the best pizzas i've ever had (blue cheese and prosciutto, they r favs of mine).
The boys all really liked their meals to and also had a pizza between them to share. I think it was a salsiccia pizza? Looked great and they loved it.
We didn't get to try dessert as we had to head off to the movies, next time!!!!! they sounded great.

Far from happy. Just left this place and far from happy!
Pork belly was tough, stringy and had a strange taste.
I had a pasta dish that was undercooked and was supermarket pasta.
The pizza was ok but terribly over priced.
I was told it was expensive by friends but thought it would be worth it if genuine Italian but it was shite!
Sorry not happy

Wonderful experience. Surprised that upon entering Roman Palace on a Friday night that there were very few diners. Our waitress Pat was very friendly, helpful and served our meals promptly. Dave had the Penne Pasta and Em had the Veal Scallopine. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and accompanied with a very pleasant wine which was reasonably priced. We even got to speak with Jason the Manager who was very professional but very approachable as well. We cannot speak high enough about the level of service we received. Even the dessert (creme brulee) was served promptly and to die for! We both heartily recommend this restaurant and would be happy to return.

Great family restaurant!!. We have been dining here for over 15 yrs now and regularly recommend Roman Palace. The staff are very friendly and make time to ensure everyone is well looked after. We have two children now (nine and four yrs old) who love going and have their favourites on the menu. Jason always makes time to chat to them too which they enjoy. The menu caters for people who just want a good steak or lamb shanks (which fall off the bone) to my favourites, pork belly, creamy garlic prawns and sticky date pudding.

What a surprise!. Tried to book an Italian place tonight, and all the usual places were fully booked. Called Roman Palace and was given a booking straight away, which made me a little nervous - why could I get in here and nowhere else? SO GLAD we could!! What a little gem! A tidy little place that's been there for 17 years as a family-run business. Service was great, food was awesome (crab pasta!) and I will be a return customer! The menu isn't huge, but what they have, they do well. Give it a go, you'll really enjoy it.

I came to Australia 13 years ago as an international student, I had my very first Italian dish at this restaurant and I just love it ever since the first visit.
I've been to many different Italian restaurants over the past 13 years but Roman Palace always has been my favourite restaurant.

The service is always great, the food is always nice. I always see the familiar faces there( the Father and the son) as this is a family owned and operated restaurant. I have great dinning experience and lot of nice memories here. Its so much more than " just a restaurant" to me.

We love this place! We used to go here years ago and at a recent visit it was just as good. Yes it may be a bit pricey but this is a great old-fashioned family run restaurant with authentic Italian food complete with linen napkins. We had great service & delicious food; even our 8 year old scoffed his spaghetti carbonara. The decor is a little outdated but it's quaint & not horrendously loud like so many places these days. Friendly service & yum food, I definitely recommend this place.

Pleasantly surprised. Overall a good experience, service was good and food was lovely. A bit on the expensive side but we had an Entertainment book voucher so we were all good :-D
I'm not sure on the decor, it was definitely unique - theres a rather large raised pond in the middle of the restaurant and lots of Roman style columns everywhere! I did like the high ceilings, it was almost like dining in a fake grotto lol. Ambience was good.
Food was good, and good sized portions.Tiramisu was great.
Would go again.

This place has wonderful ambience and a unique water feature in the middle of the restaurant. I always feel at home here because it is a family owned Italian business with wonderful owners who are very friendly and welcoming. It's a good place to go to when you're out for a peaceful dining experience with your family and also for an enjoyable take-away meal. For entrées the Pane Con Aglio (toasted garlic bread) or Bruschetta (toasted Italian bread with tomato, basil & olive oil) is nice and light. For pasta I can recommend the Lasagne Al Forno (lasagna with three cheeses & meat sauce), Spaghetti Con Polpette (pasta with olive oil, fresh parsley, tomato & meatballs) and Penne Pollo (pasta with chicken, sundried tomato, mushroom, broccoli & a creamy white sauce). I normally order these meals as take-away meals which are very substantial with rich flavours that are accentuated through the sauce. During my dining experiences I always go for the Zampi Di Agnello (roasted lamb shanks with a

The Almond crusted chicken breast was absolutely delicious. I have never ordered from this restaurant before and I really didn’t expect it to be so good. Huge portion as well. I ordered it with potato mash which went beautifully with the creamy cheese sauce. The side salad I ordered was fresh and a perfect accompaniment. Very impressed!!!
