Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had dinner here with another couple who had just got engaged, one of whom is vegan. We chose Casa Romana because of the great vegan options and were not disappointed. We phoned the night before and asked if it were possible they could source a...vegan sparkling wine/prosecco so we could celebrate our friends engagement. And the staff absolutely came through, going out to buy a bottle at our request! And the food was delicious too! So much to choose from. Our vegan friend was seriously impressed with the fact there were so many choices to be had. The chef also made made a vegan chocolate brownie and asked if they could try this - it went down very well - think they could have eaten it three times over! We all enjoyed our meal and will be back again soon. Great food, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Thank you!More

We had dinner here last week for a colleague who was retiring and from start to finish we were well looked after. The food and service was exceptional, one of the best Italians that I have visited and if I am ever in Carlisle again,...I will definitely be back!More

We were staying in Carlisle and found this restaurant on Google maps so checked out the menu , website and reviews and decided to book. I sent an email to book and had a quick response boking us in. We had a lovely relaxing meal...and drink all served by very friendly staff. Although it was very busy we received all our food in the appropriate time for it to be cooked fresh and it was very tasty. There was plenty of good choices on the menu and served local ales. The restaurant has very nice decor and is very clean , including toilets. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Carlisle.More

After finishing 3 games of bowling after my 18th Birthday, we decided we needed somewhere to go after. I personally fancied a pizza, and both mum and my grandparents thought it was a brill idea. Went on to Tripadvisor and sorted by takeaway and Pizza,...and came across this. Ordered off the online menu, and selected the time at 19:45. We arrived a few minutes earlier, but was ready at the selected time. We didn’t expect it to be so busy in the restaurant when we walked in, and glad we chose Takeaway. When we received our pizzas, we went to a car park, and ate it. And it was the perfect flavour for everyone’s pizza. The two grandparents had Pizza El Pollo, my mum had a Ricardo, where as I went for a custom one with Pepperoni, Pineapple, Ham, Sundried Tomatoes and Blue Cheese. They were all delicious. Would 100% go again. Maybe for my 19th :p.More

I had long conversation with the owner on the phone about our visit, the food was fine, however the service was abysmal. The young waitress could not have been less interested and threw most of our food down and slammed the drinks down too. Great...shame....More

We both had pizza with delicious, generous toppings and the very best vegan dessert I have had - 'Berry...Messy' - absolutely yummy Eton Mess. We'll definitely be back when next in the area.

Sorry but the toilets are on the first floor and there's 3 steps to get in so unfortunately, we have to say no.
