This was my 3rd time at the Rome restaurant. The Fettuccini Alfredo with sausage is amazing. The Buffalo wings and soups are some of the best I have ever had. I highly recommend the Rome to anyone in the Franklin Mass area.

Always a great meal at The Rome. The homemade meatballs and the pizzas are my favorite. Karen, the bartender, is hands down one of the best servers ever. The bar area is a nice place to watch a game and relax with friends. All of the staff at the Rome do a great job making everyone feel like a regular. Best place for a meal and drinks in Franklin.

Very impressed! Tried meatballs & chicken tenders. Sauce tasted slightly peppery but had very soft bread to dip. Meatballs were soft. BBQ dipping sauce was very good as well. I’ll be back.

Nice Hometown Family Italian Restaurant that does incredible Pizza and Take Out. It has a completely separate Lounge area from the dining room making it very family friendly. A

My grandmother loved the Rome, my mom loves the Rome, so it was very cool to be able to share with my son for the first time.
