Gnocchi Tartufo : š Great
Pesce Spada alla Griglia : š Amazing
Tagliata di tonno : š Amazing
Tucked away in a quiet street in Potts Points, Cafe Roma was quite the find. Highly recommend either the swordfish steak or tuna steak as they were so beautifully seasoned and cooked (ordered rare). The gnocchi was also nice but the sauce came out a little bit too salty. However, overall an enjoyable experience.
I took my (soon to be) 9 yr old daughter here for a pre-show dinner at the Opera House and we had the Prawns and the Swordfish. Both were immaculate in presentation and taste. My daughter devoured the prawns in record time! The staff are friendly without being overbearing and the restaurant is cosy and welcoming. Would definitely revisit with āolderā friends and spend a few hours grazing. All in all a cracking little out of the way place. Grazi!
With 30 years in the business, home made Italian food is their specialty.
Hereās what you can see in the pictures:
Tuna carpaccio (my favourite of the night)
Gnocchi Gorgonzola
Gnocchi Pesto
Gnocchi Riviera
Gnocchi Tartufo (omg !)
The pizzas š:
Prosciutto Rucola and porcini bufala grana.
Dessert : tiramisu and cake + vanilla ice cream.
I would recommend this place for the gnocchis, Iām normally donāt order them but this restaurant has amazing ones. Convenient location in the heart of Potts Point.
Weāve been coming to this place for years and the delicious quality of food doesnāt change. We enjoy the hospitality and can never go past the home made pasta and bruschetta pizza. This place is a must if you want seriously good Italian food. Not to mention itās always fun to create some artwork with the butchers paper and crayons provided.
Went for dinner with 2 friends, pizza was probably one of the best I had in Australia! Awesome location and cute restaurant, maybe over friendly staff while you are trying to enjoy your dinner

A nice and cozy restaurant with ample seating and Italian accents to share.
The food was really tasty and cooked to perfection don't be surprised if a Grandma runs out yelling at you because you are too skinny or eating much. haha
Best choices were the truffle gnocci, margarita š pizza, pesto pasta and Burrata e speck.
Big the FAM because it carb loaded days at Noona's house...
until next time ... keep eating!!!
Lovely food. Very nice staff (the Italian accent is a bit tricky sometimesš). Pretty looking venue.
We got the $50 voucher for 2 course+2 wine. Definitely worth it. Would have coated $100+ without the voucher
Simple, homely and noisy. Overall, an authentic Italian experience partnered with food that reminds you of visiting a local favourite in Rome.
All the dishes we ordered were wonderfully flavoursome. Great service with a very creative menu. Service was impeccable. Even got a $50 bonus from Liven. Such a superb experience!
that pizza was one of the best i have ever tried. very nice restaurant and loved the environment. the only thing i did not like about was the manager's attitude. he was a bit disrespectful.
Wonderful pizza, I had a margherita. It was so good I forgot to take a photo! Then after that I had a chocolate mud cake. (I know, great combo). Anyways the place has a wonderful atmosphere, and the service was FAST, also staff were kind. Overall wonderful restaurant.
I can't believe it took me this long to visit Caffe Roma! The decor itself is dark but cosy and intimate. Itās perfect for date night, small groups, large groups, young people, old people.. basically itās for everyone. And youāre probably wondering why the tables are covered in butchers paper? Grab the crayons and create some art while you wait for your food. Who said itās just for kids?!
The 'Parpadalle Ragu' was incredible. Ribbons and ribbons of perfectly cooked pasta with a rich and hearty sauce to match. This was my favourite out of the lot by far.
The 'Penne Amatriciana' closely followed. The bacon bits were beautiful and I loved the mix of completely melted cheese and the cheese that had just been freshly grated on top.
I believe the pasta used in the 'Pesto' was Gemelli. Now, I love a good pesto sauce but sometimes it can be a little boring. This dish kept me excited and going back for more, simply because they added potato and green beans. I absolutely LOVED this!
And of course, their 'Ravioli'. Generously filled pockets of smooth ricotta tossed in a creamy, walnut sauce. Just beautiful.
Their pastas are amazing, no doubt about that. Oh and ask for their chilli oil. It's homemade and will take your pasta to a whole other level!
We got to try the āProsciutto e Rucolaā. It had a good amount of topping on the perfect base, ensuring an easy pick up and a nice fold. The prosciutto was some of the finest Iāve seen and again, with their chilli oil, it turned it into something special.
Friendly stuff, good food, good location, nice vibes, quiet(if you goto quiet timeš) can't go wrong with any food from menus.. you won't regret what you get and that's how much you are paying for.. šÆ recommends
Hands down my favourite place for Gnocci, yum!
I also love the Italian feeling of the place, I love the dƩcor, its definitely a vibe in there. Cute little street.
The owner is super friendly and a little eccentric, I do not know him, but have always found him very friendly.
Lycee martinis are also a big hit.
It's a bit dark in there, but adds to the ambiance.
Absolutely outstanding pizza. Have not had pizza this good in so long and late night eats. 10/10
My favorite Italian caffe in Sydney. Authentic Italian cuisine, cozy atmosphere and the owner is a legend. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant!
popped in here on spec tonight with some friends after discovering a nearby restaurant had closed. hadnāt been to the roma in years and, tbh, i wasnāt expecting muc. but damn! if that eye fillet wasnāt one of the best steaks iāve ever had. i ordered medium rare and gotā¦ medium rare! it had a delicious crust and juicy centre. the mushroom sauce was great. and the roast spud chunks and crisp broccoli in a bit of oil rounded it off perfectly. my friend from overseas had the barramundi and was in heaven. what a gem of a joint.
