Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
5.0 stars across 28 reviews, a D health grade — those two numbers are not describing the same visit. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength. Freshness and temperature follows at 21% of reviews, where ratings average 5.0.
Of the 28 rated reviews, 28 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on the state of the room at all.
The inspection record is the harder read. DBPR graded this kitchen a D (63/100) on 2 high-priority, 5 intermediate, and 6 basic violations — a verdict the review average does not reflect. The visit behind that grade was January 20, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 5% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited food from approved source and potentially hazardous foods properly thawed.
What to do with that is a judgement call — the reviews describe the experience, the grade describes the conditions behind it. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

We had a great experience at Mama Romano’s on Landstar! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. Our waiter, Ismael, was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His excellent service made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for Ismael if you visit!

We came in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was fresh. We ordered cheese stuff garlic knots and two pizzas to split with the family- the food was wonderful and very filling. We now have delicious food to enjoy for tomorrow. Highly recommend and we will be back again!

First time in by myself, I greeted warmly by Ismael, it was wonderful. I cannot remember the name of my dish but it is rolls oh eggplant with prosciutto and spinach with a fresh marinara sauce and fettuccine (there are other pasta types available) with a house salad and house dressing and the best garlic rolls! I had the tiramisu for dessert. I ate all the salad and tiramisu but took two-thirds of the entree home! So again, a win as I will have lunch tomorrow and dinner the next day!

We had a wonderful experience at Mama Romano’s, and a big part of that was thanks to Josh. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Josh checked on us regularly, made great recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout our meal without ever being intrusive. His positive attitude, great smile and excellent service really stood out and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. If you visit Mama Romano’s, ask for Josh. You’ll be in great hands!

Mama Romano’s was amazing. The service from Ismael Robles was outstanding from start to finish very friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers and creates a welcoming atmosphere. The chicken alfredo was also incredible, packed with flavor, creamy, and cooked perfectly. One of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a while. Definitely coming back again!
