I'm neither of Italian parentage nor from an area with a large cultural population from the old country, so I can't speak to the true authenticity of Roma's. What I can say is I enjoyed my food immensely and the waitstaff was extremely cordial. I can understand why a small business may need to charge more to cover their expenses, though if I'm getting a basic pasta-and-sauce entree I would hope they consider making something that simple a little less costly. That's really my only complaint; this place is great and I will be stopping by for dinner again the next time I have an extended stay in Vegas.
