Roma Pizza Restaurant is a family-owned establishment founded by the Russo family, who immigrated from Italy in 1983. Hailing from the village of Santa Caterina dell’ Iono in the Calabria region, the family is dedicated to sharing the authentic flavors of southern Italian cuisine with Australian families. Their philosophy revolves around the idea that food is more than just sustenance; it is a means of bringing loved ones together to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
At the heart of Roma Pizza Restaurant’s offerings is Cucina Povera, a culinary approach that celebrates the frugal ingenuity of traditional Italian cooks. This style of cooking emphasizes using simple, high-quality ingredients with creativity and love to create delicious dishes. By embracing the gioie della tavola (“the joys of the table”), Roma Pizza Restaurant aims to provide a dining experience that not only satisfies the appetite but also nourishes the soul.
With a focus on the Mediterranean diet and the principles of slow living, Roma Pizza Restaurant invites guests to savor the flavors of Italy in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether dining in, picking up, or opting for home delivery, customers can enjoy a taste of Calabrian heritage and the Russo family’s passion for sharing soulful food with the community.
