“ This is one of the top three restaurants for my wife and I in Lufkin. There are several reasons we love this place including the best pizza in town (a gluten-free option is available if you're interested), an amazing caprese salad, and delicious pasta dishes. If you're looking for a healthy option the grilled chicken and veggies over pasta is amazing (I like to order it with red chili flakes added). We have always found the wait staff to be very friendly and the manager, Tony, is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet - always smiling and very personable. The prices are reasonable as well. The restaurant is a little small so sometimes it can be crowded, but that's never bothered me. We've also enjoyed dining on the porch many times. ”

“ Having dinner and drinks at Roma Italian Bistro was an incredible experience! The food was simply outstanding, with a wide variety of delicious Italian dishes that were cooked to perfection. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, every single dish was bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. What really set this restaurant apart, however, was their incredible drink menu. They have the best drinks in town, hands down! The cocktails were expertly crafted and tasted amazing. They also have an extensive wine list with some truly exceptional selections. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with a cozy yet elegant vibe. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian dining experience with the best drinks in town. I will definitely be coming back again and again! ”
“ After being told Olive Garden had a two hour wait for mothers day lunch, we found Roma and gave it a shot. At first, I thought we found a nice plan B, but by the end of the meal, I realized that Roma would probably be our new favorite restaurant in lufkin. Excellent job saving our mothers day lunch! ”
“ This Bistro serves true Italian dishes if you are wanting ITALIAN. The spaghetti is truly delicious with a great sauce. You can choose between meatballs or just sauce. The stuffed mushrooms are very good and most all the dishes I’ve tired are made true Italian. They also have a children’s menu and a desert menu. The deserts are delicious with a unique variety. ”
“ We stopped in here on our way home from a trip on Friday, March 7th, 2025. Our service and food were both excellent. I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and my colleague ordered veal picatta. Both dishes were hot upon arrival and delicious. I also ordered a side salad which was fresh and crisp. The complimentary bread met all expectations. We would both visit this restaurant again if passing through the area. Highly recommend. ”
“ So yummy. Came here for the Gluten Free pizza and it did not disappoint. Such a large portion for a great price. Tanya was our services and also made our drinks. I got an Italian margarita and my hubs got an old fashion and both were delicious. Havnt had such great service in a while!! Will be back! ”
“ We always love Romas! I always get the Veal Murphy pasta on gluten-free noodles. It has jalapenos in it and that's not something I've seen before in pasta. The gluten-free pizza tastes so crispy that it tricks my brain into believing it's normal thin crust. The side salad is good for the price. (3.99) I can't speak on the rolls. But, they look so appealing! Check your salt shakers before hand. I couldn't get any out. There was moisture on the lid that clogged it. There's rice in the shakers - so I couldn't open it to get any out either. Overall, staff and food are both great. Restrooms are always clean. ”
