Trattoria Roma in Renfrewshire

Delivery was really quick, I ordered via phonecall and within 20 minutes it was here. We ordered a chicken and pesto rigatoni which was really tasty and hot, unfortunately it didn't actually contain any chicken which spoiled the meal as we paid almost £9 for a tub of pasta with pesto and cream, no veg. We also had the apple pie, which was more like a cheesecake, that came with a tub of single cream which was too watery to eat with the pie.

Without doubt the best wee restaurant in Scotland. In this evening with a party of six, the service, the food, the ambience, the atmosphere all 5 star. Ex pupils from Linwood High, serving to an exemplary standard.....we will all be back. Xx

A fabulous little restaurant which is well run by the staff. The staff are very friendly and attentive, nothing is too much hassle for them. The food is delicious, always served piping hot and portion sizes are generous. They offer 2 and 3 course menus for lunch and early dinner. Al a carte menu is also reasonably price. Highly recommend!

Visited tonight for first time ! Used to always go to Roma Linwood and I’m so glad we tried the Johnstone one . 100./. Better staff excellent food 10/10 friendly smiling staff and delicious 😋 food. Will definitely be back x

Were there for grandson's 21st, they couldn't have been more hospitable. Food was great service was excellent.

Excellent spot. Well serviced, well priced, good food.

Four of us had different meals, one being gluten free, and we all enjoyed our meal. Staff are so friendly and helpful I look forward to my next visit and would highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food very attentive and friendly staff

Had lunch with a friend on Saturday, and as always was not disappointed. The food is delicious, as is the wine, and the service is second to none - always a lovely, friendly welcome. We will hopefully be back soon.

I just love this restaurant - The four of us had a meal yesterday evening and every aspect of the experience was 5 star plus. The staff are just fabulous and so friendly and, so I'm told by the 3 women I was with, drop dead gorgeous 🤣. But seriously, if you want to experience an authentic family friendly Italian restaurant experience go no further 👍

Very disappointing - the Spaghetti Bolognese only tasted of tomato and so much so much so that it tasted acidic - no evidence of garlic or oregano in it - the grated cheese served with it was tasteless - I don't know kind of cheese it was but it was tasteless

Good atmosphere, staff very friendly and very attentive. Foods always good, my little family loves it here

had my daughter's 1st birthday dinner in here tonight all 21 of us lol and I must say the staff were absolutely lovely were so kind and helpful and atmosphere was brilliant and the food was to die for 5 star from my family.

Have been a number of times & never been disappointed. The food is delicious. All starters, pizza's and pasta's have been top of the pops & the customer service is outstanding! So much parking nearby, suitable for any meal or celebration and well worth a visit.

Amazing place love everything about it.staff so nice .always busy .best book so not 2 b disappointed

Food was amazing nice and tasty staff was polite and service was fast

Best Italian restaurant I have ever experienced. Eddie always looks after us well. Just a fantastic place for all occasions.

A fabulous place for a family dinner lunch or any special occasion! The staff are great, the food is always a minimum 8 or 9 out of 10 and the value for money is unreal! Can’t speak highly enough of Trattoria Roma give it a try!

Very buzzy on a Sat night. Friendly staff and tasty food. Seafood stew a particular favourite but we could have shared it after having had starters! Great value for money.

One of this restaurants best customers But will no longer be back. So called manager allowed our mains to arrive then sent out the starters. Charged us for 4 drinks which we did not ask for as they are normally complementary for us. He was not interested in returning our money. Terrible management we will not be back. He doesn't deserve such great staff.. They always are outstanding....shame he is not.... needs to learn to respect his customers...

Amazing food and amazing customer service One off the best Italian restaurants in Scotland

Always a pleasure to eat here. Food, service and atmosphere always very good.

Amazing service. Delicious food. We will be back soon. Thank you, guys!

This is a local restaurant which I have used many times because it is so dependable. We had booked as it can be very busy at lunchtime. We arrived in good time, were warmly greeted and allocated our table. Service was friendly and slick. Menu has lots of attractive options. We were all more than happy with our food. We all opted for pasta dishes and were delight by both quality and portion size. My only hesitation is that the tables are quite close together, still great food and excellent value for money.

Just love this restaurant as staff food and service fab also my grandkids love going here

Absolutely delicious. It's a beautiful place inside and the food os really tasty. Can't help but fo again. They have a fab takeaway place too

A great Italian restaurant! Tasty food, lovely atmosphere!

The restaurant is beautiful and it was an excellent choice The service is excellent and the Moroccan manager is nice Delicious food, pizza and pasta Pizza and pasta was delicious and friendly staff I recommended 👍🏻

Had not booked but still got a table. Busy tonight for a monday great food 24/6/24

2nd visit here and again never disappointed food was amazing and good old fashion customer service at its finest

Lovely food, warm service - even at the takeaway side. Wonderful place for food!

Food great as always very busy, so a tad noisy. Always enjoyable experience though

Great food and really friendly atmosphere

First time being here, good service and lots of choices, got a pizza and a canzone, canzone was great but the pizza had chicken on about 2 or 3 slice of the pizza and hardly any mixed peppers. Doubt I would come back at 25 quid for a canzone and a dough pizza!.

First time here but it won't be the last. Food was delicious and the staff were friendly. We ate off the lunchtime set menu 2 courses for £13 but plenty of choice I had the muscles in tomato sauce for starters followed by sea bass with risotto wow. I know you shouldn't really do 2 fish courses but I couldn't resist. Already booked to go back

We went there with friends for a meal, didn't know of it at all, but it was their suggestion so we went with it, good choice as it turned out. Situated on the Main St. In Johnstone, it is not hard to find, a pleasant space with welcoming staff and a fabulous smell coming from the Kitchens! Seated at the window, the table for 4 was a bit tight, but the food made up for it, I had the King Prawn starter, and it was delicious and plentiful, the Minestrone soup served to the others was also a generous portion. Mains followed, and my pizza was good, but the others opted for Pasta, which i'm assured of was great and smelled wonderful too! The staff were friendly and attentive without crowding you. They made suggestions where appropriate. The restaurant was busy with families when we arrived but they thinned out as the evening wore on. We all had good food and plenty of it, decent wine and soft drinks for the driver, and the bill was for 4 (starters,mains,dessert+drinks) was less than £120, try getting that in Glasgow. I would recommend this place and will go back soon. Parking is ok, but you have to watch the signage for the Lidl Carpark as they have a 2 hr limit if you use their bit of it, and the fines are quite steep.

Went here today for the first time at the recommendation of my friend. The staff were excellent and friendly, food was brilliant and the atmosphere was good.

Lovely, cozy surroundings. Fabulous service, very attentive and welcoming. Food is amazing. Never had a bad meal and have visited often.

Delicious food, attentive staff and great prices.

Been here a few times and it doesn’t disappoint. Vibrant atmosphere, lots to choose from on the menu and warm friendly service. What’s not to like! 👍

Excellent food and excellent staff Prices are very reasonable

Happened upon Trattoria Roma by chance. Outstanding food, service was great, and it was great value for money! No complaints!

Good value menu. Calamaris were a bit skinny but the rest of the order was fine.

Great food and drink such a nice atmosphere and the staff are 1st class a hidden gem

Beautiful food and great service 👌

Really good food it never fails. Reasonable priced & friendly staff :)

Everything Is delicious and the prices are reasonable and portions generous!

Great food & service and still decent value. The fact that it is always busy when I've been speaks volumes and will return when next in Johnstone

Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough,excellent service,very helpful friendly staff and amazing food and great value for money.Will definitely be back.Many thanks.

We had a family meal for 10 people and everyone was very happy with their meal. 10 x 3 courses, cocktails, soft drinks and 3 bottles of wine, came to average of £35 a head. Been coming here for years and never been disappointed. Great atmosphere, great food, great service, very family friendly.

A wonderful lunch with my wife. The only minor complaint was the volume levels were very high as lunchtime went on. Busy, happy, wonderful food and service, just loud happy customers talking over each other. Maybe the acoustics need tweaking.

Staff very friendly food great always have our family events in this restaurant

I keep seeing great reviews for this place - and always give it another chance - and yet every time I go Its always really disappointing. I had dinner with the family and the service was great. After that thought its all down hill though. My bruschetta starter was average at best and my wifes mushrooms were tasteless. Lasagne was stateless and chewy - not a texture you typically (or want to) associate with lasagne. My Chicken in a mushroom sause dish looked like a school dinner. I would like to say it tasted worse - but there was actually no taste to anything on the plate whatsoever - despite me almost seasoning the dish to death in an effort to derive some taste. 3 out of 4 dishes went back half finished. My son finished his pizza. When I asked him how it was he shrugged and said "its a ham and mushroom pizza". I think the atmosphere has also went significantly downhill since its refurb a few years ago - where it was cosy and atmospheric - it now has the ambiance of a busy high street coffee shop. I think its past its sell by date unless it changes it chefs

Great food and best service. Best to book because it's a busy place. 👌

Excellent meal with my wife and two friends . Quality of the food was first class.

First time visiting this restaurant and it was superb. We were 3 adults and 2 children. The adults had king prawn risotto, penne principessa and pollo genovese. The kids had pizzas with extra toppings. We all ate everything we could (it’s worth bringing a good appetite!). The starters were also delicious, and the wide selection of puddings had something for everyone. Plenty of choice of wines by the glass - the Montepulciano is a favourite. Staff were welcoming and efficient. We’ll definitely be back!

Calamari starter and alla principessa penne main fantastic restaurant with fantastic food

First time definitely won't be the last outstanding

Fabulous food comfortable surroundings and really friendly staff.... all round fabulous experience ✨️

Superb as always with excellent service and wonderful food and atmosphere - always made to feel very welcome in this lovely restaurant

Great place with amazing food, prices and atmosphere 👌

Went for a family birthday celebration on Saturday afternoon. Everything was perfect from the large varied lunch menu, great sized portions and value for money. The restaurant was busy, as usual, but the staff were magnificent and extremely attentive to our party and kept the drinks flowing. Oh and the banter is spot on too! Well done guys 👏 👏👏

Great food, great service. Says it all 10/10.

Awesome chicken and broccoli with Penne pasta. Tasty white sauce with just a hint of spice. The menu said something like you'll regret it if you don't try it...well I tried it and it was excellent.👍🏻👍🏻

Lovely food, excellent service and very reasonable prices

We visited here for a late lunch and the food was fantastic the mains and the desert were amazing and the price was superb .

Update Oct 23: Still coming here to dine out and still not had a poor experience. Staff remain as good as always and familiar faces are still front of house. Good value - especially with the 12-3 and 3-5.45 set menus. Now also do take away, so can pick up and have food at home, or arrange a delivery. Original review: We have been coming here as a family for several years now and continue to be impressed with the fantastic food, friendly and super helpful staff and great surroundings. It is a great wee award winning Italian restaurant (2021-22 award winner) and I hope it continues to improve and win more awards. The prices you pay, for the food you get and the generous servings makes it great value for money. We are yet to have a poor dining experience. Special kudos to the staff who are genuinely friendly and great with kids. As an example; We had a birthday dinner for our daughter recently and the staff sang her happy birthday and presented a wee cake to her with a candle - all unorganised before hand (we didn't want to create a fuss). It was a lovely wee gesture for us all and didn't have to be done - that they did, shows they care about the customer. They are a great asset to the restaurant and it is telling the turnover of staff isn't regular. The restaurant was refurbished a couple of years back and is a nice place to dine - think rustic Italian style. Seats: comfy, tables: substantial, crockery and cutlery: good quality and clean. Make sure you book ahead! Overall: highly recommended.

Great choice and fabulous, tasty food. Good portion sizes and well priced.

Busy place, nice people working there. Pizza highly recommended, very high quality ingredients

Great food for a good price. Pizza is amazing.

First visit...to visit again next week. Extensive menu...food was well prepared, well served by charming staff. On my eat-out list now

This was our first time eating in at Roma. We normally get take away. Food was amazing, staff were very friendly and helpful and the cocktails were brilliant 🙂

Went with an orga.nised group. Lovely place. Food was excellent. Good service.

Food great but it was very cold.

We are never disappointed with our meals in this restaurant. Johnstone's wee gem. ♥️

One off the best places I ever be .perfect service amazing food.thank you

Best Pizzas in the West, probably the East too but I've not eaten any over there yet

Great food, atmosphere and terrific service

Exceptionally busy book ahead fast and friendly service food was plentiful and excellent quality 👌 👍 👏 definitely be back 😋 👌

Lovely staff and delicious food. I do wish restaurants would end the Covid induced time restrictions. They're not placing tables 2m (or even 1m) apart so why are we still having to tolerate canteen times? A meal out is a social occasion not just eating it and beating it.

Lovely place for a bite to eat. Our table had the calamari, mussels in white wine and cream, and mozzarella sticks to start. I had the mussels they were lovely. For mains, 2 of us had Mia casa pasta. One had chicken with peppercorn sauce with roast potatoes & veg. All portions were great size. Also had a chicken nuggets kids meal which was lovely and fresh and great quality. The garlic bread was awesome too.

Superb familt run traditional italian restaurant. Wonderful food great service,lovely comfortable atmosphere,great for any occasion,a simple meal or special celebration. A real hidden gem,very popular so I would definitely book in advance.

Always a great meal here, Food brilliant, staff friendly and welcoming,Family love going here,never been disappointed on any of our visits

Went for lunch yesterday and from our arrival the staff made us feel at home and were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the gastronomic fare that was on offer. The 2 starters, carroza and mussels were exquisite and of extremely high quality. The main courses, spaghetti carbonara and chicken with mushroom in a white creamy sauce were sublime and packed with flavour. The dessert and coffee were just as good quality and all for £35. I cannot praise this place highly enough and will be returning very soon. Keep up.the high standards and friendly service. A1 and faultless.

My friend and I always enjoy eating at this restaurant - because of the lovely, friendly staff, the delicious food, and nice relaxed atmosphere. The service is excellent, and today I had my favourite, pollo al pepe followed by tiramisu - mmmm! My friend thoroughly enjoyed his food too. We look forward to our next visit.

After reading excellent on line reviews, we decided to try this place. We were not disappointed. A nice welcome, terrific food, and great service from a very friendly staff. We'll be back.

Really nice people and great service. I had to take food up to the hospital and had limited time. I called ahead and they had it ready. Great service

Excellent as usual, attentive staff and big portions

We booked this for my sons 18th as we knew they could cope with there being over 30 of us , the staff could not be more on the ball ensuring our drinks were kept topped up along with the delicious food being served , nothing was compromised. They had all the staff join in when Eddie the best front of house you could wish for came out with my son Finlay’s cake. I was even happy when my bill came as it so reasonable. Would recommend to anyone .

Amazing staff, Amazing food ..loved my birthday party here today ...5 stars all day long...😎

Got takeaway pizza pasta lunch great,value for money and one of best pizzas I have had.partner had Mia casa penne and said it was excellent.

Very very poor. My partner had a piece of glass in her bread. The waiter refunded her for the starter. Pretty awful service as she could have choked.

Went for dinner, staff lovely and found us a table with a little jiggling about. I had Ravioli rafael delicious and my son had a pizza napoletana which he said was very nice, all food was lovely and hot. Had forgotten about this place but will be going back soon

I have been here for dinner lots of times and also have had a lot of take aways from here. We went last week for dinner and it was not great. I ordered the bruschetta for starter and they gave me half the usual portion! Usually it's 2 slices of bread with the tomatoes on top. This time they served one slice with tomatoes. Yet still charged me £6.50! I got the chicken caesar salad for my main and it was absolutely awful. Wayyyy too much dressing. Massive plate of leaves, drowned in a shop bought tasting sauce, with a few stingy bits of what looked like leftover chicken. My husband got a burger and it was bland and falling apart. What's worse is that tiny flies were all over the food. Couldn't get peace to eat there were so many. My husband killed 8 but more just kept coming back. Then there was the very wobbly table. My husband had to keep his foot on one of the legs so our drinks didn't spill. The young boy who served us was lovely and pleasant. I really doubt we will be back though, to be honest. They're not exactly cheap and when you're not getting what you pay for plus having to contend with a swarm of flies and a table that needs repaired - it's hardly an enjoyable experience. Hugely disappointing!

Fantastic place to eat. Food is delicious and staff are brilliant. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, excellent service

Best food, excellent takeaways

Had my grandsons 18th, there today for 30 people ,couldn’t fault Eddie and the staff, everyone was superb 👍xx

Brilliant Italian restaurant, best service and staff around

Excellent food and service. Great place for the local area.
