Authentic Italian bistro with delicious home-made elements. The gnocchi di fungi was sensational, my partner really like the generosity in size of each individual gnocchi.

Nice, noisy, relaxed.. lovely Rissotto! Service was quick and efficient.. Nice way to spend a Saturday night. Dips were a little on the boring side.

Disappointing. Pizzas were average and meals not worth their price tag. Chilli on everything doesn't make it taste better. First time customers and won't be returning.

Staff are friendly but it’s over priced. Chicken was way over cooked but the pizza bases were nice if not a little too much cheese. Not into running places down so I’d recommend giving it a go.

The food was delicious and the service spot on. There was a good range of drinks to choose from. My father particularly enjoyed the bread and butter pudding, and my husband and i tried the semifroddo for the first time. It won't be the last. Overall, good value for a good meal.

3 out of the 4 meals were great. The 4th was not. It was the lamb shoulder special and it was way over cooked and dried out.

The Roman Empire Bar Restaurant featured excellent food and service. Situated in a hidden corner of Carina, Roman Empire lived up to expectations and gave us a great night out.

We were a party of 8 for lunch. We were warmly greeted on our arrival and offered a choice of seating inside the restaurant or outside in the sun as it was a cool day. Water arrived immediately without any request. The lunch menu offered a good variety and also there were specials. Everyone likes specials. There is a good variety of drinks on offer. We did not have dessert but there we plenty to choose from. The coffee is very good.

Three friends went for lunch on a Friday. We were early and the place was pretty empty. Staff were attentive to a degree and two of us enjoyed our meal. One ordered the Mariana fettuccine but wasn't overly impressed. My chicken was a bit chewy but had a nice flavour. It is years since we had been to Roman Empire, and clearly it has been taken over from the Italian family who used to run it , very successfully. Not sure if we will return, but I was impressed by the look of their pizzas, so that might persuade me to try again. Not a total loss but could have been better, but not too expensive either. Cant have everything it appears.

Easy access and parking to restaurant; good staff and great food. Great ambiance. Reasonably priced and food came relatively quickly so not a long wait to eat even though the restaurant was full. So overall, a very good experience.

We were very pleased with the food and service. We had heard the restaurant was under new management, so wondered whether it would be as good as our last visit. We needn't have worried, it was a great experience.

Staff are very friendly and prompt with bringing orders. Entree's taste great! We had the Garlic Pizza Bread and the meatballs. Very tasty. My dinner was really good. I had the Fettucine Marinara. Someone else at the table had the Veal Scallopine. The might was a little on the tough side which can ruin a scallopine dish. Meat also didn't taste fresh. The Moreton Bay Bug Risotto was also ordered. Bugs were salty and the rice was non-existant. Overall the night was pleasing. Last time I was here was 4 years ago and I remember walking away quite content. This time...don't expect anything amazing. Great for a quick bite.

Food was great, service was good, but need to have more flexibility with payment method. We had a party of 7 friends and everyone had either an eftpos card or credit card. The sign indicated only one bill per table, no split bills. When we questioned the waitress, her response was to go over to the teller machine in the convenience store which was totally inconvenient. We just settled in at our table on a cold winter's night and there was no way we were going to get up and walk a fair distance to go get money out. Many people these days don't carry cash and pay by credit card. We didn't order any share plates and only had a main and our own drinks to make it easy to pay for our own meals. As a large group of girlfriends, we all pay for our own meals so we will use cafes where you can either split the bill or have counter service where everyone pays at the counter.

All 4 meals were reasonably good, especially the 2 pizzas. However, the portion size of the other 2 mains - chicken saltimboca, seafood risotto were quite small for the price. Service wasn't the best. Fortunately we had pizza bread starter, otherwise we would have been still been hungry after dinner.
