Situated at the Villagio mall, one does not expect this restaurant to be cozy and quiet, but surprisingly this place achieves both attributes. It is cut off from the otherwise bustling mall and gives you the dining experience you'd hope for. The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor section, and unless you want to be stared at by walking shoppers, we'd suggest the comfortable indoor seating.
Known for its fine dining Italian food, Romano's does not disappoint completely. Yes, it could be tweaked to perfection, but we were happy with most of their dishes.
While the ambiance was stylish, and service prompt, here's what we thought of the food we ordered.
A complete winner. It was smooth on the palette. The crab was well cooked and adequately stuffed into deliciously cooked button mushrooms. The dish was presented nicely and the accompanying garlic bread was fresh. Some of us at the table felt the dish was on the blander side and needed more salt but overall, this is one of the dishes we'd come back for.
The vegetarian at the table was thrilled. The pizza was fresh, wasn't too oily. The crisp crust with the puffed edges elevated the entire dish for us. Use of earthy italian flavors made it easy to keep munching on every slice.
This was hands down the best dish of the afternoon. The Parmesan crust complemented the fish beautifully. The pickled capers sprinkled on top added the right hint of pungency. The garlic factor promised with the dish was completely missing, but top points for the well flavored and well cooked meat.
Hugely let down by this dish. The caesar salad that we ordered alongside was under dressed and way too bland for us. The chicken breast was too thick for our liking and made it difficult to proceed to the next bite. The accompanying rice was made bitter by the overdose of spinach leaves. The priciest dish of our meal disappointed us the most.
Quick tip: Avoid the mint mojito unless you like the taste of bitter tasting cough syrup. All the bread makes you more thirsty than usual so we'd recommend ordering the bottomless iced tea or soda.
Average cost for a meal for two: QAR 250
