We stopped in at The Roman Oven on the recommendation of the staff next door at Cork & Keg, and we’re glad we listened. This is an authentic Sicilian eatery—no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just tradition done right. We were seated and served by Pam, who instantly felt like a smiling Sicilian grandmother and somehow outworked people half her age. Absolute gem. We ordered a large deluxe pizza thinking it would cover dinner and leftovers—and it did. Even better, it reheated perfectly later, which says a lot about the quality. I’ve seen a few reviews mention slow service. Honestly? When you rush food like this, you lose what makes it special. If you’re impatient, this probably isn’t your spot—but if you value authentic, family-driven cooking, it absolutely is. Go see Cesar if you’re in a hurry; otherwise, relax and enjoy. We also loved learning that the family is truly Sicilian and keeps that heritage in everything they serve. Bonus: you can bring your own alcohol in moderation, which is super convenient with Cork & Keg right next door. Fantastic pizza, genuine people

As soon as you walk into this restaurant, you'll feel like you stepped back in time. There's beautiful artwork hanging on the walls, along with pictures of their family. There's an overly friendly woman who greets us. As we were waiting on our food, we overheard the hostess joking around with one of her customers. It is wonderful to go somewhere that treats their customer like family. The food was very tasty. I swore when I saw the size of my food that I would not eat it all, but I did. Their garlic biscuits are so soft, and I could eat a whole tray full. The prices are reasonable. We spent $40, but that was our food, drinks, and dessert. Cannolis was a very tasty way to end our meal. I would suggest checking out the menu I'm attaching so you'll know what to get before going. I hope you enjoy your meal as much as we did.
