A very warm welcome on entering, with ease of registering the car. The tables were well spaced, the ambience excellent. The service was excellent and had we had sufficient time to choose drinks and the food. The menu had a varied choice of starters,mains and deserts. The food was of excellent quality, quantity, hot and well presented, being of very good value for money. The waiters and waitresses were very polite, well presented and attentive. This was our first visit, but will certainly not be our last!

It’s a little more expensive than some local restaurants but the quality of the food is reflective of that uplift for sure!

Like the others, great service and atmosphere but the food was substantial for a Italian of this calibre in this region. Also my wife ordered a chicken dish with a white wine sauce. It was a cheese sauce instead and was Boiled too much and the chicken was Boiled. Also the sea bass and king prawns dish. I would suggest adding a little more to the dish to make it more appealing for the price. Again this is the only 'italian' I've been to and disappointed. I must stress the word Italian. As don't believe the chefs are Italian from the way the food was cooked.

Very rude elderly man waiter tried to make me feel bad for wanting to take my food home with me. It was an expensive night out and the man made fun of us multiple times. He said ‘It’s only like two mouthfuls, just put it on a spoon’ and pointed at my friend’s food and said ‘See she ate it.’ He also said ‘What you going to do? Have it for lunch tomorrow?’ And sniggered. On the way out he said again ‘Don’t forget to eat your lunch tomorrow’ whilst glaring at us. We wouldn’t come back. What an awful person and experience. 8.6.24 Approximately 21:15-22:15

We were thoroughly impressed and will definitely be returning for another visit in the future.

Had a lovely dinner last night at Romantica. It's always worth spending a little more for good quality food. While they did have a few fabulous specials on, I decided to go with the lamb chops instead. There are no side dishes with the main meal, one is required to order each item separately. I decided on mushrooms and dauphinoise. The dessert menu looked amazing, but due to the large portions, even though I only ate half, there wasn't any space for a morsel of dessert. I would have preferred a smaller portion. I know some restaurants offer a lady's portion, but in today's society that may no longer be politically correct, however true. The glass of Merlot wasn't a great choice, not for my palate. The staff were friendly and attentive, and children were made to feel welcome. A pleasant dinner.

About 6 years ago i went here for my 17th birthday, and last week i chose to return again for my 23rd birthday with my parents and boyfriend, and I couldnt be more happy with the experience. The food is incredible, proper high quality italian food - yes it is pricier than places like pizza express but 100% you get what you pay for. Customer service is amazing, the staff are attentive and more than happy to help with any concerns. I'm vegetarian and I asked to have the carbonara without the pancetta and they were more than happy to oblige - it felt like the dish was missing something but to be fair I did ask them to remove a key item so that's my choice obviously. I do wish there were a few more veggie options on the menu but in no way has it stopped me from dining here before. We were checked on regularly without it interrupting our meal, and I can't wait to return for my next celebration.

Romantica is hands down, one of the best restaurants in Sutton Coldfield. The food is excellent and the staff and service are superb. Just check the reviews of Romantica, and it says it all. This place is a gem of a restaurant. We have been coming here at least once a month for years. The lunchtime menu is great value, and they serve the best pint of Moretti in brum.

Went to Romantica on Friday 2nd of February 2024. I've been past the place many times, but it didn't appeal to me due to the exterior. However, my parents highly recommended the place. I can say honestly that the inside is fantastic. Every member of staff were very polite. The food portions were of a very good size. Great value for money. The two pictures I have attached are: 1. veggie pizza, 2. Garlic pizza bread. Both were exceptional. I would definitely come back here again. Much better than places like Prezzo.

The food is fresh and beautiful with plenty of choice from the drinks, to the desserts and I couldn't recommend this place enough.

We have been going here for over 5 years and have always found it to be great, but this time it was very poor. Table booked via website even asks if it's for a special occasion. I'm not sure why because they seem not to be interested if it is as we had selected the anniversary and nothing was mentioned. When we walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation and then told we could pick our table. The restaurant was not busy at this point. So we had a decent choice of the 2 cover tables. Our order was taken, and I had requested a tagliatelle carbonara but asked for it not to have too much sauce in it if possible. My starter came, and the wifes starter took a good few minutes to follow. There was no offer of pepper or parmesan cheese or even a spoon with the pasta. Within about 2 forks worth, it was clear the pasta was greasy to the point that if I angled the bowl, the oil ran over the other side. There was no sauce at all to the dish. I opted to stop eating it at that point, and when we finally got noticed we had finished and the plates were being taken away, I mentioned the issue as we had not been asked if everything was OK. The young lady said she would mention it to the chef but never came back to me. The main course was the pollo with asparagus with a delecate blend of cream and lemon. I think that's how it is worded on the menu. Well, the delicate blend had got blown out the window. The sauce was about 10 seconds away from splitting, and it had started to split. The asparagus had no taste apart from lemon . Why was that much lemon applied to a delicate flavour is questionable. The laugh was then my wife being offered the pepper and cheese to go with her pasta main course. The meal overall was not what we have ever had in the restaurant, the service was poor. we never got asked if everything was OK or if we wanted more drinks at any point. I'm not sure if the front of house staff were inexperienced or if it's just the standards of service that are that bad. Not 100% sure seeing one of the girls in legging trainers and a top that showed off her midriff was part of the dining experience. Again once I was able to get somones attention I asked for the bill, got to say bit of a surprise to see the pasta starter on the bill, the restaurant was busy and I was not going to make a fuss as you can hear the next tables conversation and I did not want to spoil someone's night out. I have over 15 years experience in running restaurants, both high volume and high end, but what I saw on our trip was poor. Nothing against the front of house staff as if that's how they are left to do things they will do it. I'm not sure if you have changed chefs, or I was just the unlucky one, but overall, it's not a night I would be singing about from the rooftops.
