Coconut shrimp! I LOVED the sauce.

Linguini Puttanesca - Black Olives & Anchovies Pasta

My boyfriend's meal: Osso buco

Will there be a next time? No. And if I actually ate the food for full price with no offers, I don't think it would have been worth it. 

service || SLOW SLOW SLOW. I waited 5 minutes to have the menu handed to my table & waited another 10 minutes to have my food ordered (the restaurant was not that busy).

food || average - my pasta was too saucy, real italian pasta does not have sauce taken over the taste of pasta. ALSO, I only found ONE piece of anchovy in my pasta. I never knew anchovy was a delicate food? [sarcasm mode ON]

price || used dealfind offer: pay $20 (+tax and tips) for a value of $50 worth of food, on a daily basis, it would be $15-20 per person.

decor || I give TOTAL props to the photographer who took the photos for this restaurant! He/she must have some amazing skills. When I took a look at Romano's official website, I thought this place was so PRETTY and spacious inside! The fireplace, the candle lights, the furniture, EVERYTHING just looked so amazing. However, when I went there in person, my jaws dropped (in a bad way). I was so disappointed, the restaurant looked nothing like the pictures shown on their website. The restaurant was small, the lighting was bad because it was too dim inside Romano's and there were no candle lights =(. It looked like a restaurant that needed renovation. I felt embarrassed bringing my boyfriend there because we both saw the pictures and was expecting something good.

what I ordered || linguini puttanesca (black olives & anchovie pasta), coconut shrimp (appetizer)
