Visited Romulus for the first time tonight, although have lived in the area for 20+ years and have driven past most days. It was a very last minute decision and only booked this afternoon for a table of 3 for 6pm. Lovely guy answered my call and sorted me a table. 15 mins before our reservation time, 3 of us became 4 and we were running about 10/15 mins behind. After a second phone call to explain and ask could they accommodate a fourth person - our reservation was amended. The atmosphere in the restaurant is that of a very friendly family looking after you. We were seated immediately in an almost full restaurant and ordered our drinks while we looked through the menu. My husband just felt like ribs and cheesy garlic bread and myself and eldest son had pizzas. My youngest son had already eaten and do he just ordered a garlic bread. The food arrived promptly, and apart from the plain garlic bread being a bit dry and overcooked, everything g else was delicious. There were plenty of ribs and the pizzas tasted extremely fresh.To complete our meal we had chocolate fudge cake with ice cream which was a big hit and one of the special desserts, which was similar to a custard slice. While nice, this just felt a little bit hard as was still quite cold from the fridge. Our whole visit was very pleasant and the staff were all lovely. We will be back

We absolutely love Romulus - food and staff, it?s our local authentic Italian. But I just wanted to mention that when we dined with you last night (Friday 5th Jan) we enjoyed a lovely meal and left a tip (£10) as we always would. What we didn?t realise which is something that must have changed recently that 10% service charge was added to our bill. As the bill was £166 that meant we gave a £16 tip already. I just think it was a bit much to take the £10 we left on the table as well as this was very obvious we hadn?t seen the tip added to the bill - I think we should?ve been made aware of this. We were also overcharged for chips that should be included with the chicken dish I had which I love, my favourite Romulus dish but is very overpriced at £19 if you then charge £4 for chips on top. I didn?t want to put my review on a public forum ideally but I couldn?t find another way to send a private message and when I called today there was no reply and we have been left feeling a bit annoyed.

We had a family meal on Saturday and can?t fault anything, service was excellent and personable, food was lovely and didn?t wait long at all for it to arrive. Can?t wait to go back.

Great experience here with excellent speedy service for our daughter's 50th birthday. We all loved the food and it was especially good to see this long serving business in Bramhall continuing to thrive. Well done!!

White bread in a Italian restaurant? Pizza was terrible, looking like a frozen pizza and no quality of the ingredients at all. It's a shame rapresent the Italian cousine in this way.... definitely not back in there.

Great restaurant with good food and atmosphere. We've luckily managed to get a table at peak times as a walk-in (fri/ sat eve) but would definitely recommend booking in advance to save the fuss!

I write this review with no intention of causing any offence, it is purely to hopefully give Romulus a nudge to strive to improve.To clarify, the service and staff are fantastic, cannot complain one bit... Atmosphere was nice and relaxed for a midweek evening. I am reviewing the food.I grew up in Bramhall and Romulus has always been there, however the last time I ate here was 15 years ago. and it hasn't changed, sure it's got it's charm, it's reassuring to the classic Bramhall clientele, the one's who have never ventured any further.I am not an expert in Italian cuisine, however I have been to Italy on numerous occasions, and also been lucky enough to have eaten at some very good Italian restaurants outside the Bramhall borders.What they serve here is absolutely edible and inoffensive, but to read reviews saying it is the best thing they've ever eaten is simply shocking and misleading. The food is basic at best, garlic bread starter is fine, lovely fresh garlic and tomato, white bait was totally fine. Between us we had pizzas, spaghetti, lasagne and cannoloni, I tried all of them and they were all just... OK, nothing bad nothing good. Middle of the road... something you could get at any decent pub these days... not a long standing Italian Trattoria!My main was the Romulus pizza, and when it arrived at our table my face visibly dropped. It looked like a kids frozen pizza, not a beautifully hand stretched artisan sourdough crust with big bubbling volcanos of cheese and burnt bits from a 1000 degree stone baked pizza oven.It wasn't memorable or special in the slightest, and I think thats a shame for an Italian place, it should strive for better but it rests on its laurels of times gone by. But one day those clients are going to have left us, Come on Romulus - you should be the BEST in the northwest never mind just Bramhall... I really wish you the best and hope the next time I come in it's a little more inspired.
