Bad Roman—Playful Italian Fare from Don Angie Team

Bad Roman—Playful Italian Fare from Don Angie Team

When I saw the team behind Don Angie opened up 𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻, I had to book it right away. Reservations are hard to come by now, but let’s take a look if it’s worth the stress.

🍸 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗶 - ⭐️ 𝟭𝟬/𝟭𝟬

I personally love pepperoncinis and pickled things, so this was a hit for me. It’s dangerously smooth too.

🍞 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 - ⭐️ 𝟳.𝟱/𝟭𝟬

Just a good starter overall and I preferred this over the Roni Cups.

🍄 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶 - ⭐️ 𝟳/𝟭𝟬

I mean, it’s basically sautéed mixed mushrooms. Nothing crazy here and it’s not bad either.

🔴 𝗥𝗼𝗻𝗶 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀 + 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵 - ⭐️ 𝟱/𝟭𝟬

My husband loved these way more than I did. A lot of other people raved about it too. I appreciate the size, but I found their ranch to be off putting and pepperoni too salty. Try it for yourself and judge!

🐓 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶 - ⭐️ 𝟵/𝟭𝟬

Justin (my husband) also really really loved this pasta. It’s a solid pasta with hot cherry peppers and sausage.

🥩 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼 𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗼 -⭐️ 𝟴/𝟭𝟬

Really enjoyed this Filetto with Raviolo. Very creamy inside and the steak was cooked well.

🍋 𝗟𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗲 - ⭐️ 𝟴/𝟭𝟬

Kinda wish the exterior chocolate shell was thinner, but for creativity, we bumped it to an 8. It’s still an excellent cheesecake overall!

TLDR; It’s still worth trying. You can see all the detail they pour into their ambiance, bar, service and branding and I do appreciate their riffs on certain dishes! I would mainly come back to do walk-ins at the bar.
