Romanos has one of the best cheesesteaks outside of Philadelphia. Perfectly done steak and a soft, delicious roll. The staff is friendly and accommodating. It's also a Philadelphia area institution. With a history dating back to the 1930s, they are most famous for inventing the Stromboli. If you are in the area and haven't yet tried Romanos, you really should!

Was there Saturday night with my girlfriend for the first time. Best stromboli I ever had and the sauce was just incredible. Server was very nice and food was out quick. Will definitely be coming back to try other items on their menu and the different pasta sauces they have.

OMG!! You absolutely have to try the original Stromboli. The flavour was incredible. I have lived in Italy and never tasted an Italian sandwich as good. These Stromboli are not made from pizza dough. They are actual expert bakers at Romano's, and the fresh baked bread makes the Stromboli sandwich. This is the only restaurant that has the true original Stromboli. This is truly a world wonder when it comes to taste and perfection!
