Authentic Italian food , great service and atmosphere. Looking forward to spring and using the patio. Out of the way place that is easy to find and get too. Will definitely be going back.

Great Italian Cuisine. Great flavors, highly recommended lasagna, spaghetti pasta and chicken Parmesan Traditional plates. My daughter loves the place and the attention was good as well. The most important think it is the care of the attention by servers and the dishes. My recommendation it is put or offer more desserts and change the entrance door.

I’ve been to about five Italian restaurants prior, some fetching $40 for an entree. I’ve never been incredibly impressed, until I found this place.

So we passed this place when we were on the train, looked like a cute place. Visited on a Sat night, its a BYOB so that’s good. The food was pretty good, but I ordered a limone fish dish but was served a limone chicken dish, the server never came out for a long time so I ate the chicken dish, it was good just that I didn’t order it. Later when I told him he said he will take care of it and what he did was made sure the bill was for chicken and not fish. Still not too bad, I would give this 4 stars but we ordered croccantini Nutella to go and I don’t think I got that, got some dish but don’t think it was the correct one. I’ve attached a pic, if this is right then I will change it to 4 stars but otherwise we ordered 3 dishes and they got 2 wrong.

This was my worst experience dining out to date. Upon arriving we saw plenty of tables available outside so we asked the host to be seated outside. As she led us outside we asked for a larger table, as FOUR tables were currently open at the time we didn’t think this would be an issue at all AND there was a party of 2 seated at a large table, she replies with no that’s not an option.

Second time here was even better than the first! Via Roma is a lovely, quaint Italian restaurant along Northwest Highway with indoor and outdoor seating, an expansive yet well tailored menu of classic dishes, and a great atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or meal with a few friends/family.

Lovely restaurant with intimate atmosphere. It was an absolute pleasure dining here with friends. The food was exceptional quality and the waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us good recommendations. We loved every single dish. It is popular and they don’t take reservations, so there can be a bit of a wait, but the restaurant is BYOB and there is no cork fee, so we were able to pop open a bottle of wine while we waited to be seated. Overall, great experience, we’ll certainly be back.

This is probably the best Italian restaurant in Des Plaines. A little family owned place with a great menu and not once was did I order something I didnt like. Price is on the higher price of causal dinning but with todays inflation for a few bucks more vs some other local places Via Romas is a way better place to spend your well earned cash. Don’t listen to the “Karen’s” in the comments they always find something to complain about and nothing ever makes them happy. Im whiling to bet most of them keep ordering from here too because the food is that good.

Great BYOB. Prices of dishes are more expensive than most Italian restaurants but you don’t spend $70 on wine so you balance out. Really good food, nice atmosphere.
