Romana European Tapas in New Jersey

"Came here before a concert at Prudential Center on a Friday night with reservations for two. There's plenty of parking available on the street as well as nearby paid parking lot. As soon as I came in, I was greeted by the hostess which quickly led us to our table. The first thing you will notice is the absolutely gorgeous ambiance. This place us breathtaking. All white marble with touches of gold. Even the rest room has gold doors and marble walls and sink. Since we were short in time, we ordered tapas and drinks. We got a complimentary tostones chips with lentil which was very tasty. Also, I had a coconut mojito and it was good. Also ordered the chili steak stuffed avocado accompanied with tostones chips. The portion was a good size and it was tasty, however I wished my steak was warm versus a tad but cold ..maybe due to the avocado and fresh lime juice. At first, we didn't get the tostones chips but our waitress explained accompanied tostones just got added to menu and was forgotten by the kitchen staff. Which is true if you see the menu online. Service was great. Our waitress was super attentive and courteous. Great location for a drink at the full bar before or after an event in the area. The menu is not very extensive but you can find something you like on there. I'll definitely be back."

"LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!! The Miami ambience, decor, food, drinks, service TOP SHELF! Beautiful and very clean lounge. I went on a Thursday night and had a great experience. Found this place by accident and they did not disappoint. We ordered: Surf and Turf Empanadas (9/10)..Jumbo Lump Crab(10/10)…Wings (8/10)… Dbl Smash Burger (10/10) Cocktails: Romana Fans is so so good! If you’re a Ketel one fan definitely try it. Coconut Mojito was refreshing. I felt like i needed to be sitting by the beach in the Caribbean. They also offer hookah, so just in case you don’t like that, maybe go earlier in the day around happy hour. Keep that in mind in case you want to go for an after-work corporate sponsored happy hour. The restaurant kept their doors open which definitely helped when a table ordered hookah."

"5 stars From the moment we walked into Romana European Tapas, we were transported straight to the heart of Europe. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and intimate—perfect for a date night or a cozy dinner with friends. Every dish we tried was crafted with intention and bursting with flavor. The tapas are a beautiful fusion of traditional European flair with a modern twist, and the presentation is just as impressive as the taste. The service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made us feel right at home. The sangria was refreshing and perfectly balanced, and the chef’s selection left us wanting to order seconds of everything. Romana is an absolute gem in NJ. If you’re looking for a place that delivers top-tier quality, ambiance, and hospitality, this is it. We’ll definitely be back—and bringing more friends with us next time!"

"We went on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday with a party pf 14 people. Romana had a great atmosphere, and decor was nice!! Even the bathrooms were nice, clean, and smelled good lol. I had a DJ who did an amazing job, new music, throwbacks, etc. I forget his name. The food was OK. The appetizer with the beans and fried plantains was delicious. Beans were well seasoned, and the plantains were perfectly crispy and salted. I ordered the red snapper, which was delicious. The fish was crisy and cooked perfectly. I wished it was more seasoned, tho. The rice that came with the red snapper was DELICIOUS!! The vegetables were tasty, too. I ordered an old fashion that was great too. I would definitely come back again for a date night."

"It’s great to see this restaurant open again! The food is outstanding, every dish is flavorful and perfectly done. The event menu is creative, delicious, and truly stands out, offering something fresh and different. The service is excellent, super attentive and professional from start to finish. Everything felt well organized and welcoming. Definitely a place worth visiting and recommending."

"Beautiful venue and great ambiance ! Came here on a Sunday before a concert and the DJ was bumping! Food and drinks were delicious! They also had happy hour specials . Shout out to Rama for making me a delicious Achilles and coconut margaritas and owner Maritza for her hospitality ! Will definitely be back ."

"I was invited to this restaurant for the grand opening. I met Noel one of the owners. He was very friendly and He was taking time to mingle with the customers. Good luck on your endeavors. My friend and I had calamari grilled octopus + shrimp for dinner. I like the design of the restaurant and how everything is laid out. As I spoke to Noel, the owner of the restaurant, he mentioned they will be having music on Friday and Saturday. That creates a very good vibe to start your weekend. I will go back again in a couple of months when everything will be more settled. The food tastes was really good. I would like to taste more dishes and give my opinion on them. Strongly recommend paying a visit and supporting our community."

"So happy this restaurant has reopened! The food is absolutely amazing, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The event menu they created is delicious, unique, and very well thought out, definitely something different from the usual. The service is 10/10 — friendly, attentive, and always on point. You can really tell they put a lot of care into every detail. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back."
