Veccia Roma in Newry and Mourne

Went here recently to meet some friends for food, drinks and watching a rugby game. The occasion was a casual affair and we all had pizza. I have to say that the pizza was one of the best pizza's that I have ever had and it was a joyous surprise. Very well done to the Vecchia Roma - would recommend all to try it!

Food was good and service pleasant. Drinks were expensive and served in tumblers instead of proper glasses. Overall it was enjoyable.

I always feel that staff are looking down your throat, and feel I must hurry to eat my meal

Celebration night, great atmosphere, very friendly staff, and great food

Food good, service ok, others on table had to repeatedly ask for things. Drinks needing asked for rather than staff noticing a replenishment was needed therefore a sale. Not much atmosphere which I prefer ie no loud music to shout over so conversations can be heard. Overall good but a little bit of attention would make things 5 stars.

Food was lovely. We ate in a large group on a Saturday evening and we were well attended to. Excellent kids choices, all food arrived together and never went thirsty at the table. Really enjoyable evening and would highly recommend.

We enjoyed a great pizza here on a Sunday afternoon, the pints of Guinness were good,the staff were polite and helpful and we were able to watch the football on the big screen. Nice atmosphere and plenty of seating available in the bar. A band started playing around 6.30pm so we stayed on for an hour or so to enjoy the music. Worth a visit.

Friendly, efficency staff and excellent pizza

What has happened this restaurant???? We went for an evening meal and you are greeted by a pleasant hostess but on full view is a very very unhappy looking pizza chef ! If I was that unhappy in my job I honestly wouldn’t be there. We had a similar experience a few weeks ago but returned because we gave them the benefit of the doubt my goodness our experience was worse tonight. We waited so long for our food we just left cause we had very young hungry children. We were told that the pizza chef was behind with the orders. Such a shame that this place has gone down hill so badly. On speaking with a couple of other families they said they also had the same experiences. Clearly no management on to see exactly what is happening. Very disappointing !!!!!

I visited Warren Point and found the restaurant. Enjoyed the location harbour front and the vibe. Staff were happy and attentive making things fun. The pizzas are good and I recommend.👍👍

Taken a while to gather my thoughts before review, as it's a place my wife and I loved. Haven't been in a few years ( COVID etc ) and thought end of may bank holiday was perfect time to reacquaint ourselves....what a mistake!...greeted very nicely by young man and shown to table, and asked for drinks.He Proceeded to stock room and we were totally ignored. After 10 minutes plus, I drew this to the attention of the young lady who was in charge. Haughtily served us in an annoyed manner. Very passive aggressive when menus were supplied....paid for drinks, left, and had the most beautiful meal in the harbour inn Newcastle...who have brilliant staff!!!....never again vecchia del Roma!!!!!... standard has slipped beyond repair. Dirty tables, floors....etc. but the bad manners make it impossible to return.

Das Restaurant ist direkt am Hafen gelegen. Ein solch liebevoll hausgemachtes Barbecue (Beef Ribs, Pulled Pork, Chicken Wings) habe ich außerhalb der USA noch nicht gefunden.

Fantastic food and the staff were all kind and accommodating. Food was well worth it

Pizzas are good and staff are friendly. What more do you want ❤️

We picked one of the busiest nights of the year unknown to us, everyone was under huge pressure , food ,drinks did not suffer,service was friendly and great value, I will return

Took our order at 8pm and still no food by 9.45..so we left, weren't the only table complaining, another family there from 7.30 and no food by the time we left. Its pizza !!!! Staff not very apologetic wouldn't even make eye contact us...never be back

Had a few pizzas there whilst on holiday, outstandingly good grub!

Booked a table for party of 6 Saturday night 7.30 on arrival we were told they had no record of our booking...stuck us in a corner at a wobbly table and broken chairs..service was terrible all night as staff where running around like headless chickens..had to keep calling staff over to get served..on the plus side the food was delicious when it eventually arrived..

Like an expensive wetherspoons.... Definetly not like the Roma of old. Shocking service, very little vegetarian options

Overall it was not good food and we did not finish. The pizza was OK and both cooked well. Getting the bill and paying was efficient and quick.

Good service nice staff great food

Very bad food nothing to do with a restaurant.

Rude and unhelpful Lady on phone. I rang to book a meal last Saturday night. The lady on the phone advised me that she had a table. I explained that we were cautions over Covid and would like a table perhaps not in the crowded bar area. Rather than being professional and explaining that they were busy and this wasn't possible her attitude was at best rude and patronising. she more or less said " You take what your given or don't come ". If the managers cannot train their staff to be pleasant to customers asking to book their services then they should close up

Excellent food and fantastic service. Will definitely be back very soon.

We ate here when staying the night in the Lough and Quay. The food is good quality, good portions, well presented and reasonably priced. Whilst it is no longer, primarily, an Italian restaurant it still retains a pizza oven. I had an excellent, freshly prepared pizza and my husband had an equally excellent burger, with a good bottle of Rioja. The atmosphere is comfortable and the serving staff capable and friendly, we were served by Anna and her brother. There are also seats outside in event of good weather and we were able to sit outside to finish our wine.

Stumbled across VR whilst checking Google Maps as I was passing Newry, Southbound on the A1. Food was OUTSTANDING. Smokehouse Platter was so tender and tasteful. Very reasonably priced and staff very friendly. Didn't have a lot of time to explore Warrenpoint and its fine harbour but a revisit to VR will easily justify this detour. Thank You to the Chef and Front Room staff at VR for a very enjoyable meal. A hidden gem in my opinion.

Food is lovely but the service needs a lot of work, this place has such potential but needs a good shake up.

Just terrible start to finish. Two young inexperienced staff. Senior one, was on phone the whole time texting. Forgot to do any basics… greet us, take a drinks order, ask us is everything okay during or after. Couple came in after us and asked for a table, girls looked at each other and senior one said .., I don’t know, I don’t want to get shouted at by kitchen, wait and we will see. Food was awful too. In Diamonds tonight, night and day! Great food, same price.

Amazing pizza, very nice truffle chips. Very good Italian atmosphere. Full of people. Great recommendations!

We had a fabulous meal tonight. The trio of fish was outstanding. Salmon, cod and monkfish cooked in garlic butter served with seared lemon...would give any fish restaurant a run for their money! And the pizzas are simply THE BEST. I had goats cheese, sun dried tomatoes , pepperoni and jalapeno .Our waiter Samuel couldn't have been more attentive. And all the other staff made us feel most welcome and valued.

1st visit and will definitely be back. Delicious food and very friendly staff.

Ho aspettato 50 minuti per avere il mio ordine e la qualità era scadente. Personale gentile e disponibile, posto carino ma attesa infinita. Non aveva nulla della vecchia Roma.

My food was so so, but my wife who is a chef ordered a steak sandwich and got roast beef sandwich, staff were very young and has no idea of customer service, overall not a great place, maybe it was just the day that was in it, but I doubt it, the wife voiced her issues, but got no resolve

Had the buffalo, rocket, parma ham pizza... Aw it was OUTSTANDING!!!!! Really excellent staff and they adhered to the 2m rules. Would definitely recommend! 👏👏👏

Good tasty and excellent prices, they have worked hard to survive the Pandemic lock down.

Super 👌 😍 restoranas, skanu 😋 ir jauku

Once again Vecchia Roma comes to the rescue with their finest pizzas 😁

Just look at this, oh, my, God. Beautiful.

Ordered pizza and carbonara. Partners pizza was nice as it was homemade but my carbonara was very poor to be honest. Looked lovely when it came out but it tasted bland and, I paid extra for chicken in it which was really tough and chewy..didn’t seem fresh. We ordered desserts and they really tasty. They were presented lovely too. I would recommend the malteaser cheesecake. Mixed opinion about returning to this restaurant. I would probably go back and try something else. Price is average

Staff are lovely and the food is great - only ever had the pizza. Very reasonably priced food- would be surpaied if you could find more bang for your buck anywhere!

Came here as part of government scheme. 3 main meals arrived, these were finished by the time the 3 other main meals arrived (this was 50 minutes after arrival to the restaurant). The sides were incorrect when they did arrive. Would not recommend the Carbonara - sauce very watery. Service was poor. Overall really disappointing and would not come here again.

No social distancing at all inside or out. Not a safe place

No social distancing at all! Way too many people allowed to be seated outside within close proximity on Sun eve 9th Aug

Food was excellent but the staff really made our experience, we had a large group and had to changed our reservation several times and they were so accommodating. We stayed late at the restaurant and we were not rush at all, staff were so pleasant. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Making use of their takeaway service. Fantastic food and still the usual friendly service. Thanks guys!

Food is excellent, staff very attentive and friendly along with a great atmosphere! Not to mention very well priced

just had a fantastic steak sandwich in lough n quay tonight! match special was £12 for steak sandwich, side, sauce and pint. we both asked for medium steak, cooked to perfection and the tobacco onions were crispy and peppery...delicious! We'll impressed tonight plus the kids meal went down a treat, generous portions and great variety. we will 100% be back.

Booked a table for 4 last weekend. Waited 20 minutes on getting our menu. There was plenty of staff working so i expected it to be a lot more efficient. Food was great, very tasty. The staff didn't come near us to see if we needed anything. We had to ask for assistance several times. On getting our drinks from the bar, bar staff were standing talking, ignoring us. Waiting staff also not very professional.Would have been nice if we were asked if everything was ok. Overall, great food. Staff need to be more attentive to their customers.

Food was perfect. Got a spicy pepperoni pizza which was delicious. However service was very slow. Waited over an hour for our food.

Can’t fault the food. 5/5. And keeps this rating at average. Excellent bruschetta, the goats cheese spicy pizza was great. However we waited over an hour from placing the order. We asked the young waitress who was run off her feet is this exceptionally busy, she replied ‘no. It’s like this every night.’ They did their best but were pitifully understaffed. The smoke bellowing out of the pizza oven caused my partner to cough constantly and people coming in to be served from the bar added crazy noise and the unsettled atmosphere. The rushed staff were both at the bar and at tables. Such a pity, food amazing.

We had a large group. The service was brutally slow. Had to ask multiple times for jugs of water. Ended up clearing the table of empty jugs myself because the server brought jugs of water and left the empty ones. Had to go get extra napkins myself because the server never brought them. No one asked us if everything was OK. Not even when we were paying. The food was good enough but the service was brutal. The whole experience of the service overshadowed the food.

Arguably the best pizza in town, freshly made before you and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Never disappoints! 🍕🍺🇮🇹

Visited at the weekend with 3 of my friends. The service was extremely slow. We waited about 45minutes for a jug of water and about 50minutes for our food. The waitress appeared to write my drink order down, but then had to ask me again after taking the other drink orders. They also forgot the sauces we had asked for. Myself and my friend went for the steak deal - 2 sirloin steaks, 2 sides and 2 sauces for £25 - which is great value. The cut of meat was very good - however onion rings and chips were the saltiest things I have ever tasted. Another friend got the carbonara which was extremely bland! Someone else got the pizza, which looked class... but I will not be back

Very poor options for coeliacs. It's not difficult to cook a steak or fish with chips which are gluten free. This restaur ant is not interested in providing food for people with coeliac disease. They used to sell gluten free beer but have now stopped that. Was there last night with friends. Not impressed.

Food was lovely and the staff were really helpful and friendly

Monday openings in the summer offer an awesome spot for great pizza that really is home made

We were a party of 6 and while the food was reasonable quality I was the one who was forgotten and not until a reminder did my main meal arrive as the others were finished or finishing theirs.

Food is great. Staff are lovely. They have a bar. What more do you want.

This Italian restaurant is worth dining at. They have authentic recipes and good quality control as well as attentive, efficient service.

Outstanding steak sandwich. The hot wings starter was very tasty, but at 5 bones was also extremely small and unsatisfying.

Great steaks - lovely wine - friendly servers - good price - I can't say more

Food lovely and staff very attentive

One of the best restaurant I've been to. Staff are lovely and helpful, good selections of craft beers and the food is top quality.

Great food, the chicken parm is awesome and the prices are fairly fair for what you get.

Lovely atmosphere with very good customer service. My mum and I had the burgers which were delicious, my husband had the calzone which he thought was delicious (this is freshly prepared by the pizza chef in front of you), my dad had the fish which he thought was okay and the kids ordered meatballs and spaghetti again it was fresh and very tasty. The kids desserts were yummy too, I appreciated the waitresses honesty when asked which desserts are made in house as I hate when I order something to find that it is bought in dried out rubbish. The raspberry ruffle cheesecake was good. All in all a lovely relaxing evening we will be back

Great food and location staff friendly and good service

My mum & I headed down for Steak Night last Friday. 2 Sirloins & all the trimmings for £25. Delicious food, Great Value, Brilliant Service. Relaxed & Friendly. Highly recommended. Go down & get your steak on! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent restaurant non loin d'un hôtel, bars et port...excellent choix et menu variés et staff au top !!!

Fabulous meal!! Highly recommended.

Walking round Warrenpoint square looking for somewhere to eat and came across this place. Its part of the Lough and Key pub and although we ate in the restaurant part you can eat off the same menu throughout the pub. Staff were brilliant and very efficient even though we arrived quite late. I had the ribs to start and the calzone main. The meat fell off the ribs beautifully and the calzone cooked in front of us in the open kitchen was spot on. Deffo be back when working in the area.

Nice casual spot for food & great choice of draft beers.

We had a delicious 3-course meal here last night, with a couple of beers and some soft drinks. This is quite a small restaurant attached to the Lough and Quay hotel, but diners can eat further down the room in the bar area if they wish – which is what we did. The menu isn’t the most extensive, but there was enough on it to please us. We ordered Bruschetta and Chilli Prawns for starters, Rigatoni Chicken and Pollo v Roma for mains, followed by Sticky Toffee Pudding and Baileys Cheesecake for dessert. The food here is excellent. Everything was perfect, right down to the presentation and the crockery used. We were still talking about it this morning. The mixture of texture, colour and tastes was just superb. Service was very good, this is a very busy restaurant and the young staff, who were most pleasant and cheerful, were kept on their toes all evening. We would definitely consider a return here if we are up in Warrenpoint again.

Booked a table for 5 with family. My daughter and I had previously dined here and we were both impressed. I wrote an excellent review on trip advisor.

Ordered medium to well sirloin and was well over cooked so I sent it back. The chef sliced it in half and sent it back to me with the notice that the centre of the steak was medium to well (no bigger than a two pence piece) and it didn't matter about the rest. The food in here is really nice, I have been here a few times. Its my own fault anyway this is an Italian restaurant and I ordered steak I should have known.

Great food and very friendly service

I went for a meal with my partner and his parents today. The food was delicious and could not be faulted. The rest of our experience was painful. We spent 2.5 hours in the restaurant at which point we had 1 course and 2 drinks each. The staff clearly lacked basic training in how to wait on tables and prioritise. No one came to ask us how our meal was or if we needed anything else. We decided not to order dessert and went elsewhere for this. We took bets on how long we would next be served and all lost after being ignored for over half an hour. We watched 7 empty tables be cleared before we gave up waiting to be served and went up to the till to pay the bill. We were the only ones there by this point and it was not late. The staffed seemed nice enough when approached but lacked basic training and had no direction.

Beautiful.sunny day in Warrepoint. Chairs and tables outside with view of the sea and docks.

Its a hit and miss kinda place! Do not book accommodation here, its run by Mickey mouse staff terrible, avoid !;

Not even being polite. I had the best burger I've ever had in my life here ( Italian burger) amazing all around .

La pizza faite sur place est très bonne ;)

Delicious food and not too dear

Awesome Italian food. Steak was closer to well done than medium which is what I asked for.

Despite some issues with my meal (very overcooked steak) I did enjoy my dinner at this place. The staff were very friendly and replaced my meal promptly as well as offered a discount at the end. In the end the steak was tasty. Also, very good onion rings. My friend got a pizza which was very good. Would go back again but just for a pizza;)

Honestly best restaurant pizza I've had!

The pizza here is probably my favourite pizza of all time. Every time I come here I order the exact same thing, though the other meals such as the pasta dishes always tempt me (my head just can't get over the pizza enough to try anything else). Service is always excellent and menu is great value for money. Wine is incredible (always important...). Restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, great for couples or for a family.

It was ok however flavour was lossed some how.

You simply cannot beat this place. It's a first class venue for a simple pizza, an event for the entire family, a reception, you name it. Service with a smile always and never a bad meal served. Cannot fault in any way.

Ordered ribs which are normally good but recently changed recipe not as good , bar is great but food can be hit n miss at times starting to get pricey £40 for two mains n 2 soft drinks

The best pizza in the area, by far.

Best pizza ever. A great Italian restaurant

Absolutely love this place and the food.

Have been here twice in as many weeks after not being here for about 6 months. I won't be rushing back. Return visit to see if it had improved-unfortunately not. The 1st time we waited 50 minutes from ordering until we got our food-discovered due to other customers complaining round us, that there was only 2 in the kitchen-fair enough but the pizza chef was standing doing not very much until a pizza order came through-surely he could have helped? I ordered the chicken dish priced at £16.50 which consisted of a rather small butterflied chicken breast sitting on 4 halved baby roasted potatoes, with a teaspoon sized portion of spinach, 4 sprigs of tenderstem broccoli and signature sauce. Small portion for a massive price imo....I was still peckish after eating it, made even worse by the price tag. Staff are pleasant but not always very tentative.

Excellent food, wine and service is very good

Great food from a varied menu and a good selection of wine and beer. The service is good and the staff are friendly and polite.

Located in The Lough and Quay guest house complex to make it a bit easier to find! Best place to go for a pizza in the area. Great selections of beers. Surprise, surprise, we had a great evening!! Thanks Sean.

He estado yendo a Veccia Roma durante años. Siempre me encantó la comida, el ambiente y el entorno. Pero esta noche me sentía que tenía que hacer una revisión.

Great food, great buzz, staff friendly .Atmosphere is always pleasant. Pizzas excellent !Menu offers a variety of Italian food, from tapas style to steaks.Something for everyone.

Took the family in Jan 17. Menu is as you would expect (pasta, pizza, burgers) but very tasty. We cleaned the plates. Small issue was the price of desserts. Hence 4 stars. We'll certainly return though.

Este no es un restaurante local para nosotros. Se especializa en comida Italiana, pizza y tiene mano cocinada en un horno de leña.

Me encantó este lugar, fuimos con dos niños, la comida era excepcional, la fecha era el 30 / 10 y el personal había disfrazado para Halloween. La comida no era de este mundo, sólo uno de nosotros tenía un flan como los demás eran todos llenos. Cena para 4 con bebidas (botella de vino para los adultos llegó a unos 80 libras, pero valió la pena. El calzone era enorme y bien lleno.
