Osteria Alla Romana - Lancaster

Chris, the Owner Chef, prepares authentic Italian cuisine. True “high quality” Chef’s Italian cuisine. Some of his pasta and seafood dishes are unlike anything you have ever experienced, unless you have spent big dollars in large market restaurants. His place is very simplistic and he loves people. This is the highest quality Italian cuisine in this area of Ohio and beyond.

I haven't eaten here but if others can bring down the ratings because they illegally parked in the lot or looked at an old menu online, why can't I give 5 stars for the owner responses? Edit: as far as cash only. Do people realize that owners are charged a percentage to take cards. Honestly. It varies depending on the card and it gets expensive. Literally what they pay each month to accept a card would pay an extra person in the kitchen

This is hands down the best Italian food I have ever had, and I have high standards because I'm Sicilian! Chris runs a great operation here and is very passionate about what he does. Isaiah also makes a great front-of-house employee offering a smile as soon as you walk in. We had the pleasure of chatting with Chris after our meal and ending up hanging out after hours because he was such a pleasure to be around! Chris has a great personality, loves to talk, and is one of the best cooks I have ever met! Do yourself a favor and go here ASAP!

Called ahead since we had a larger party,Got there and tables were set and ready.Server was very attentive and polite as was chef.As authentic as it gets,one man show in the kitchen. The food was beyond delicious.I dont like mushrooms and here i was shoveling mushrooms in my face like i hadnt ate in a week.Was amazing.Handmade as well. If you are looking for a authentic (and delicious) experience this is it.

The food is great and the owner is just awesome. I called in to order one day and wasn 't sure of exactly what I wanted and he said just come in and let me cook you a meal, it will be the best meal you ever had . Now I don 't even look at the menu I just ask him to make me something and go pick it up. Great little small mom and pop business with great AUTHENTIC Italian food.
