Italian Casual Dining

by lwmango at Citysearch

While the interior of the restaurant is slightly reminiscent of a high school cafeteria (complete with trays), Pasta Roma is good for a quick, well-priced lunch or dinner. The dining room offers lots of seating and works well for couples or large groups. They offer daily lunch specials and a majority of their menu is under $10. Don' t know what to order from their vast menu? On the walls are large photos of their various dishes like Veal Picata, Penne Puttanesca, and Chicken Cacciatore. Besides pasta they serve hot and cold sandwiches, calzones, soups, and pizza. Try the hot grilled chicken sandwich, a delicious panini that comes with your choice of pasta salad, green salad, or fries. Their bread is amazing, little knots of dough that has been glazed with either oil or butter and dusted with herbs.

• Pros: Good Value, Large Portions, Parking Lot
• Cons: Feels like a cafeteria, gets crowded at lunchtime

Halfway between fast food and authentic

Despite its flaws, I like Pasta Roma. It's a good and quaint atmosphere (a fast food version of mom's kitchen), good pizzas and pastas, and affordability. As a USC student, I can appreciate all these things. And because of my academic affiliation, I can also get a pretty nifty discount on the already good prices.
