    Food was spot on but the service was garbage. Slow, non attentive staff.

    What an indulgent meal and fun experience! We had been wanting to try Bad Roman for awhile but the reservations are always full. We finally got lucky! The space is really beautiful and cozy, it feels special. It never got too loud even though it was quite full. Our server was friendly and never far away if we needed anything. Food and drinks arrived quickly and everything was delicious. We loved the shared pasta and the frozen tiramisu especially. Others have wonderful pictures and descriptions of the food, everything was delicious. Best we've ever had? No. But this place is an experience. Some of the dishes are overpriced but you're in Columbus Circle so it goes with the territory. Go have fun and don't worry what the check reads.

    Very nice and professional people working at this restaurant. However I was very disappointed in my last visit. The entree’s came 30 seconds after the appetizers were cleared. Also, one entree came wrong and wasn’t brought correctly until everyone else finished their dinner. No apologies from anyone on the staff. Some of the other entrees were cold

    Been here several times now. Always solid. The reception area/host area needs some work though. Not very friendly or personable. Do not be in the service industry if you do not enjoy people. Food, ambience and our waiter were excellent though.

    Usually love Bad Roman - been half a dozen times. But this last time - the Bad Roman Wedge had changed and was not as good. The Lobster Scampi was a bust. And the Babka was overcooked. And the service was blah. On the bright side, the pasta for two was excellent, the Dover Sole was surprisingly very good and the ricotta and honey did not disappoint.

    Amazing experience for my wife children and I. They were super accommodating with our 2 infant children and our server, Roosevelt was so knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. We will definitely be back.

    This is a total theatrical dining experience. Classic Italian American cuisine with a maximalist twist. So much fun! Food is fun and comforting but not the best you’ve had. Cocktails are great. Service and vibe outstanding. Will def be back!
