Had two wonderful dining experiences at Romanos. The wait staff is friendly and not overly intrusive. The menu is fantastic and the specials are finely put together and delicious. We went for the antipasti misti for an app and ordered three different entrees at each occasion. The app was awesome with an assortment of meats, different cheeses, olives, caperberrys and... More

Romano's is a must when in st thomas; especially if you are staying on the east side of the island. I found this restaurant about 10 years ago while going to Coki beach. It is not in the best neighborhood but doesnt take away from dining experience. The restaurant is clean, spacious and has some great artwork. The staff is... More

Found this on a recommendation of a local bartender and locals at the bar. Lovely Italian food, good wine. Servers were all friendly and worked well together. Limited parking, but parking attendant was super helpful. The chef was also very inviting! He does all the paintings that are in the restaurant, which he painted while he was ill. More

Dear SFBayJFamily, Thank you for your review and I am pleased that you enjoyed your evening with us. I enjoy very much visiting each table and meeting my guests. I am also pleased that you enjoyed my paintings, however I would like to clarify that my having a near death experience back in 1999 was the blessing that compelled me... More

Romano's has brought amazing Italian food to St. Thomas and is comparable to some of the finest and most authentic restaurants in the NY - NJ area where we live. Service was friendly and observant without being intrusive. They are also knowledgeable about the many "don't miss" items on the menu. The handmade pastas and sauces are wonderful, and the... More

Professional & personable service. Owner, artist, chef Tony greets and visits tables. 8 people has everything from rack of lamb to mussels and calamari in diablo tomato sauce - great taste and presentation - desserts were over expectations - homemade limoncello hit the spot at end of evening. Would definitely go there again. Although out of the way (location) well... More

I recently dined at Romano's Restaruant & Art Gallery while vacationing in St Thomas in April. The restaurant is small, quaint, and surrounded by colorful art work painted by the chef and owner Tony Romano. I dined on lamb chops which were cooked to perfection although the portion was a bit small with only 3 chops. My husband had a... More

I hadn't been to Romano's for a very long time, but last evening I met friends there for an excellent dinner, lots of Italian wine and great conversation. Romano's very-authentic Northern Italian cuisine simply cannot be beat - everything was divine - beautifully prepared and garnished, and served hot. All 8 of us absolutely raved over our selections. Chef and... More
