ROMA, an Italian eatery, is a trattoria-inspired restaurant in Rice Village. Opened in early 2019, it’s the latest project from veteran Houston restaurateur Shanon Scott. Although the focus is the cuisine of the Italian capital (like cacio e pepe and carbonara), the menu also features Italian classics like osso buco, lasagne, and fettuccine alla bolognese — all housemade. The cozy bungalow setting, entirely renovated for the new concept, adds to the ambiance, making it a favorite dining destination for Houstonians from across the city.
