Welcome to Roma Italian Ristorante/SUL TEMPO Cocktail Lounge
Initially opening as a casual pizzeria, Roma Italian Restaurant Dover quickly evolved into the premier special occasion, white linen eatery that has received various awards and accolades over the years. Born in a small town in Southern Italy, Giuseppe moved to New York at the age of 18 to develop his culinary skills. Sixteen years later, he brought that knowledge and passion to Dover, Delaware, where he opened Roma's Dover DE. Roma Restaurant is the perfect interpretation of a classic, upscale Italian eatery. Opening its doors for the first time in 1973, Giuseppe Garramone brought a wealth of expertise in food and business to Dover, Delaware.
His son, Joseph S. Garramone Jr., began working under his father in the kitchen at the young age of 10. Joe Jr. worked his way up over the years, ultimately taking over the company in 2000. With his father’s drive and blessing, Joe focused on maintaining the quality of food and service that built the Roma name. The evolution for Roma has not stopped; keeping with the tradition his father started, Joe Jr. was ready to add his own mark to Roma Italian Restaurant Dover. Teaming up with longtime industry professional and wife Kristin, they decided to drive forward with a twist to the vision. Their “twist,” Sul Tempo Cocktail Lounge, opened in December of 2015, introducing Dover to its very first cocktail lounge focused on house fusions, boutique cocktails, small plates, and craft beers. The rustic yet refined aesthetic is something Dover had yet to experience. The aroma of the cedar plank smoke and sliding barn doors pairs perfectly with the stone veneer and upscale décor. Now in its 43rd year, Roma continues to grow and evolve, looking forward to the future. Please have your family join ours for an amazing dining experience.
