A small, very modest, often out-of-the-way place.
I am a huge fan of family-owned, hole in the wall eateries. I have a top five, and three of those five are in Northern VA. One hole in the wall eatery that has become special to my wife Megan and I, is Roma Family Restaurant in Woodbridge, VA. We have frequented Roma probably more than any other restaurant in Woodbridge.
In the tradition of some of the best hole in the wall eateries of Northern VA, Roma serves a variety of Deli, American, Italian, and Greek food, all with this amazing comfort-food quality. A menu with a pretty wide selection combined with a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere makes Roma a great place to be. Roma also recently upgraded there interior to enhance the guest experience and ambience.
My go-to's on Roma's menu include, the Turkey and Cheese Sub served hot w/ onion rings, the Steak and Cheese Sub w/ fries, Meat Lovers Pizza (pepperoni, sausage, ham, ground beef, bacon & extra cheese), or The Gyro Sandwich. I have occasionally stepped out of my go-to zone, and ordered anything from Chicken Parmigian, Eggplant Parmigian, to Spaghetti and Meatballs, which all offer the taste and comfort of family food. Roma offers an amazing in-house marinara sauce with a few variations, including a sweeter sauce and a more savory version. Whether it's a pasta entree or an appetizer like Calamari or Mozzarella sticks, the marinara sauce is a signature taste of Roma.
There are a few things that make Roma special for us. We were first introduced to Roma by a dear friend from our church, Matt Glomb who, sadly, has since passed on. Roma was one of Matt's favorite places to eat, and whenever we'd eat together, it would always be there. Roma is a tradition for quite a few folks who go to our church, and has also hosted some of the most memorable fellowship times with the praise band and the youth group. Whenever the words "Pizza Night" come up, Roma is the winner every time!
Roma has become a great tradition for great food and for being a place where great snapshot memories with family and friends can be made. It's a tradition that begins with a great family with a vision for bringing the best of their family cooking to folks of all walks.
