During my college days roughly 2 years ago I used to associate Roma Mia as a restaurant in Cebu serving mostly pizza, pasta, and those addictive calzones.
Late last year, I was introduced to their grilled dishes, the Godfather Chops in particular, and from then on I’ve found my favorite porkchop in Cebu!
The adage that says “Once tasted, always wanted!” holds very true for Roma Mia’s Godfather Chops.
Godfather Chops in Gravy (Php 168) - large chops, grilled and served with Roma Mia’s very own homemade gravy and buttered vegetables
Roma Mia’s Godfather Chops is my favorite porkchop in Cebu or in the whole wide world! Hehe. A bit exaggerated, but it’s very true. The serving size is adequate; the meat is soft, juicy, and medium done.
The one I tried on this post was in gravy sauce. I’ve also tried the Godfather Chops in pesto, and it’s equally good (if you like pesto that is). Roma Mia’s Godfather Chops is just one up compared to Bigby’s Rodeo Chops!
Potato Wedges (Php 105) - thick slices of deep fried potatoes served with garlic mayo
Roma Mia’s Potato Wedges were sliced huge! It reminded me of KFC’s french fries but only bigger and better (no offense meant KFC!). I’ve always liked these big fries unlike those served in most fastfood joints because I get to really taste the soft potatoes inside and not just the crunchy-fried exterior.
Chicken Ala Trio (Php 120) - perfectly crispy and juicy chicken with penne pasta and garlic rice
Roma Mia’s Chicken Ala Trio is a good and affordable combination. The chicken was indeed crispy and juicy, and it reminds me of Sunburst’s chicken. I dunno if that’s a good or a bad thing. But for me, I liked it!
Chicken Caesar Salad (Php 250) - Roma Mia’s classic Caesar salad topped with seasoned coated chicken fillet
Nothing much to be said about Roma Mia’s Chicken Caesar Salad. It’s fairly very standard. I’m not much of a salad person unless there’s something really special about it just like what I had in Ambassador’s Cafe.
Seafood Marinara in Spaghetti (Php 555) - shrimps, squid, and mussels, sauteed in garlic and marinara sauce, seasoned with Italian herbs and spices and tossed with spaghetti pasta
Wasn’t able to try this Seafood Marinara because it was one of those few moments in my life that I was ashamed to ask my friend to try his food! But looking at the photo, it’s quite a treat.
So have your porkchop craving fix over at Roma Mia and also try their other grilled dishes. For me, I should go back to have another Godfather Chops rediscover those Calzone that I used to love!

i hate the accomodations of roma mia.
especially every afternoon,
they [the employees]
tend to be very very lazy to
accomodate customers
this happened to me twice
when i entered the restaurant
no one approached me,
even for the menu
after 10 minutes of sitting
no one came to me.
i prefer the old romamia [near max's restaurant]
old employees where very very accomodating
its such a disappointment
to eat at a restaurant who serves very good food
but the services, its a turn off.
