Had an amazing dinner at A Roma Italian restaurant in McKinney last night! The chicken Murphy was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor. The garlic bread was perfect—crispy and full of garlic goodness. We finished off with their Tiramisu, which was a great way to end the meal. But what really stood out was the service—Chandler (Cici) was fantastic, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great Italian food and excellent service!

What a great find in a strip shopping area across from Costco. The Owner served us and his service was excellent. The Manicotti I ordered was cheesy and yummy with a great red sauce. There is a bit of Christmas garland decor, but otherwise it's tasteful decor. Very clean restrooms. Prices for wine and food are great.

Solid Italian, real food made by hand. For example the calzone was as big as my head! Made with real pizza dough that rose in the oven, delightfully crispy outside and steamy gooey on the inside. Surprising quality for a busy strip center. Go!

We had a party of 7 for a post-graduation dinner at A Roma Italian Kitchen in McKinney, and it was phenomenal! Every single dish we ordered was delicious. The baked ziti and lasagna were absolute standouts - rich, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Our server Alyssa was amazing. She was super attentive, kind, and made us feel so taken care of throughout the evening. The service truly elevated the experience. Do not skip the garlic bread rolls (you’ll dream about them later), and the strawberry cheesecake is the perfect sweet ending. Pricing was very reasonable for the portions and quality. Highly recommend for families, celebrations, or just when you’re craving amazing Italian food done right. We’ll definitely be back!

we had a great experience here and it wasn’t expected being in a little strip mall across from Costco. The atmosphere is quaint, the service is extremely friendly. I had the lasagna and it was delicious!!

Stopped here for lunch with a friend on a Saturday afternoon and was so pleasantly surprised. The inside is beautiful! I loved the teal velvety chairs and benches and the twinkling ceiling (yup, look up)! The staff was super friendly. We ordered Bruschetta as an appetizer: it's the best I've ever had. They use a basil pesto, and the taste is phenomenal. We both wanted something we wouldn't make at home, so our entrees were Eggplant Rollatini and the Chicken Florentine. Both were delicious. We both had plenty of leftovers to take home.

We walked in, not knowing what to expect. The ambient of the place gave very romantic vibes, excellent for a date. The food tasted excellent, and the presentation was amazing, six stars for that if I could. Our server was super nice and professional. The lighting in throughout the restaurant was inviting and gave the impression that they were trying to achieve, high class. Would definitely recommend for both casual dining and date night.
