Multi-Award Winner for Best Italian Food in Northeast South Dakota! Meet Raffi Ismaili, proud owner of Roma Ristorante Italiano. Raffi has over 25 years experience in the industry. Raffi believes food and service go hand-in-hand, and hospitality is rule number one. In fact, he instructs his team to treat others the way they would like to be treated. He does not like to see people waiting. He striv

es to give his patrons an authentic Italian experience. Growing up in Italy, Raffi had 2 passions--soccer and gourmet food. When knee injuries sidelined his budding semi-pro soccer career, he followed his other life's passion to become a successful restaurant entrepeneur. In the U.S., he began working his way up in the restaurant industry. After quickly learning every facet of food service, he opened his first restaurant in Grapevine, TX, and now shares an authentic Italian gourmet experience with the Hub City, and hopes his fine establishment will become a hub for anyone who desires authentic cuisine in one of the most beautiful venues in the area.

Your team/date/family is wiped out after the downtown event… and everyone’s finally free.

Pre-order a half-pan or full-pan family-style pickup of Lasagna + Fettuccine Alfredo (gluten-free + vegetarian options available), then come straight into our historic dining room for dessert and toasts.

Order online for carryout or Get It Delivered, then lock in seats at romaaberdeen.com for a relaxed, one-table kind of night.

Bar date, but make it easy: pull up for Roma’s “Chef’s Corner: Pizza + Pour.” Raffi’s team sets a bar seat trio—crisp white by the glass with Fried Calamari, a bold red with Baked Meatball Casserole, then a classic Italian cocktail while you share a New York–style pizza at the historic bar.

No full dinner needed. Come as you are—make a reservation at romaaberdeen.com.

The best dining experience happens in the quiet gap.

In about 20 seconds between courses, we clear the plates, top up water, reset the table—and offer one tailored choice:
Northern comfort or southern brightness.

Quick checks keep it stress-free too: gluten-free or vegetarian… and “Anything we should avoid?”

That calm pause lets conversation land—never rushed.

Your guests shouldn’t feel stuck waiting.

We turn private parties into “course-by-course comfort”: a host-arranged welcome with warm bread and a quick Northern vs. Southern origin story—then we set expectations so everyone knows exactly what’s coming next.

Gluten-free and vegetarian plates are planned right alongside the rest, so nobody gets left out.

Come to Roma’s—Raffi’s label-reading menu moment fixes the “GF/veggie but will it taste good?” worry.

Pick a gluten-free or vegetarian entrée, and our server points to the exact sauces (garlic-olive oil vs tomato reduction) plus mix-ins that match your needs.

No bland swaps. You’ll know what’s on the plate before it arrives.

Bring your people—everyone eats.

Next time you’re ordering gluten-free or vegetarian, try “build-it-in-order” with Raffi.
Start with what everyone can share—garlic-olive oil or tomato reduction—then ask your server what won’t be swapped (no surprises on the sauce or finishing drizzle).
Then choose your pasta/protein around it so everyone gets the same “real” Roma bite.

“Diet-friendly, but make it Italian”

We start with naturally bold flavors—garlic-olive oil, tomato reductions, and roasted vegetables—so gluten-free and vegetarian plates stay exciting.
Then we match the entrée to what’s already on the dish, so substitutions don’t turn into something bland.

That “just one drink” turns into a whole mood at Roma’s.

Try our Pre-Dinner Tasting Counter: one sip, one bite—brisk and herbal (by request) with Baked Meatball Casserole. Then we’ll pair a smooth red with Stuffed Mushrooms while you split a New York–style pizza at the bar.

Finish with a classic Italian digestif for that linger-longer feeling.

Stop by and taste the bar experience—no full reservation needed.
