Excellant food and service. Stopped by for a pre dinner wine and appetizer. They have a nice selection of wine, beer and cocktails. The bartender was. Very friendly and attentive. We ordered a flatbread with grilled chicken. It was excellent and nicely presently on a board.

I went with my family of four for dinner. The Italian entrees were big, so I shared eggplant parmigiana with my wife. It came with soup and bread, so we got an extra soup (French onion) and changed the pasta from spaghetti to pappardelle. The food was excellent. The server (Sharon) was kind and attentive. We really enjoyed our meal!!

A nice place. The layout is very odd as there aren't as many tables as you would expect but it is nice looking. Service was good too. I had the classic turkey dinner. I'd say the turkey and dressing were from a food service. Didn't taste like house made. Still pretty good. The wedding soup was very good. My wife had the chicken salad croissant. She liked it (and is very picky about chicken salad) and she thought the fries were great.

Went to Romanelli's with three friends for a late breakfast. Our server, Ben, went above and beyond for us. He even picked a fallen jacket up off of the floor and placed it on the back of my friend's chair, without skipping a beat. The restaurant is clean, has good music, and the service is--once again--awesome. I ordered the outrageous omelette with sausage, mushrooms and cheddar, and I was delighted with the quality and the price. Each omelette came with home fries and toast, and it was all delicious. They have daily specials and live music Friday-Sunday. I look forward to $1 mimosa refills on Sunday afternoon. Highly recommend!!

Our server was wonderful! The food was absolutely delicious from the appetizers, salad and meal. The mocha tequila martini was delicious and refreshing. Romanelli's is clean, beautifully decorated and refreshing. 5 Stars all the way! Definitely going back to try more of this fabulous food! Kim G.

While in town visiting my wife's brother Steve and his wife Arlene, they decided to take us to Romanelli's in Galloway, NJ for dinner. We called ahead to make reservations and it's a good thing we did because the place was crowed. Once seated, we were given some bread and our drinks. Kathey began with a salad with blue cheese dressing and I chose the spring mix with raspberry vinaigrette. The raspberry was a bit on the tart side for me but it was good. Our entrees had my wife getting the grilled ribeye with mashed taters and the asparagus. I chose the chicken franchisee over pasta with the lemon butter sauce. The food was great but again, the lemon sauce was a bit too tart for me. Glad we got to try this spot on a busy night.

It's been awhile ... and you might notice the added star but I can tell you that the fourth star was wavering in the cool winter breeze because once again we had to search for any staff to refill our water glasses or to just check in on us. Since we are talking about five years since my last review I am guessing the "leave them alone so that they can talk" philosophy of restaurant service is an institutional policy. Frankly, the service was better than the 2017 review but please we should not have to leave the table and walk into another area of the restaurant to find our server to ask to have our water glasses refilled. And, the kid from the land of the dead whom I at first thought was a customer lost attempting to find his parents was actually an employee. Someone at my table suggested I ask him for a refill of the water as he slowly walked by in a half stupor but I said "If he worked here he'd at least remove the completed soup bowls from our table (They remained until the entire meal was finished.)." I discovered later when he returned to clean a table top that he actually was an employee who might have been trained to notice diners in need of water or he could have actually said "Good evening, I have noticed your water glasses have nothing in them ... might I refill them for you?" But, then again perhaps its institutional policy. Having gotten that out of the way I have to say I was very impressed by the new entranceway, which replaced the old wooden railings that I remember front he splinters in my hand. It is a very attractive entrance and as always, noted in my prior review, you are greeted warmly and feel very welcome as you walk into this very attractive restaurant. The menu has changed since we were last here. We all agreed that it appears to have been reduced in offerings and in variety but that did not stop us from finding something. Clearly when you see the four stars and if you have reached this point of the review you have noted negatives but yet 4 stars. The food is delicious and well conceived! We didn't get anything extravagant but the French Onion Soup was truly special both visually and more importantly its blend of flavors along with the nice presence of perfectly cooked onions made those who ordered the soup very happy campers (Ok,, that's a phrase ... we are not camping out in the winter.). The sandwich was accompanied by some of the best "chips" we have ever had (All too often restaurants in their attempt to save money rather than offering French fries created chips that are burnt, overly salted or otherwise inedible.) and we all were reaching over to make sure not a speck was left. I ordered the Sweet Chili Signature Chicken Salad (Romanelli's has always been known for their awesome salads!), which was perfect for me but .... If you don't like Asian-style chili garlic sauce be forewarned that this salad's going to do more than tingle your tongue ... you are going to need water to cool it down and you already read about the lack of water refills. The chicken was perfectly cooked ... the croutons had me searching for more, and the blend of flavors made this a fantastic filling meal but .... As we left and I talked about the "heat" of my salad someone asked "Where was the bread or the rolls with dinner?" Where indeed was the bread basket that one used to receive as a guest at Romanelli's? Yes, COVID and increased costs have forced restaurants to save dollars wherever they could but we had folks with soup and me with a salad so a small dinner roll or a nice piece of bread would have been perfect but alas no bread. The menu features all those fabulous omelettes that make Romanelli's a great stop for breakfast (I wonder if you get toast or coffee refills.)! And, I am sure we will be back but next time I might ask that the water pitcher be left on the table when ordering so that the server will realize that many people need more than one glass of water with their meal especially if the water is their choice of beverage for the evening, afternoon, or morning.
