From Traditional To Modern Italian



After ten-years of success, Roma's Italian Grill, formerly, Piazza Roma, is looking to give customers a new experience.  Located in northern Westchester County, Roma's offers a new take on dining at a traditional Italian eatery.  Owner, Anthony Scaramellino, along with the help of Roma's employees, worked extensive hours to complete the transformation into the new modern restaurant all within a week.

Although Scaramellino chose not to be on film, he did give a statement regarding the change.  
"Ten years ago when we first opened, we thought the name Piazza Roma would be a perfect description of our restaurant.  A piazza is an outside seating area at restaurants located all throughout Italy, and Roma, meaning Rome signifies the dishes our restaurant would feature.  Although we did find success in our name, and our identity, I felt as though there were opportunities that lye outside of a name commonly mispronounced as "Pizza Roma." Roma tomatoes are what we make our homemade sauce with, and you can find Roma tomatoes at the heart of a vast majority of our dishes.  With a new name comes a new opportunity to reinvent ourselves to not only our loyal customers, but to welcome new guests into our restaurant.  Now, when our guests enter they will experience a modern take on classic Italia, rather than a dated experience."

With the new renovations specifically behind the bar, Roma's bartenders say it has become increasingly easy to successfully make drinks, and serve customers at the same time.  New menu changes include classic Italian recipes, and allow more dishes to be modified, all while having an authentic Italian taste.  Roma's loyal customers, and new guests, can be seen leaving with a smile upon their face, and stomaches full, upon every visit.  

Almost four months into the reinvention of Roma's, and business is better than ever.  All dinning locations are packed on weekends, and during the week many customers flock to the bar for the happy hour menu.  The renovation, and new identity, has proven that change is good.  In hopes of another ten successful years, Roma's doors welcome all, seven-days a week.
