We went back to Roma for a 4th time and with friends who had not been before.This was our second New Year's Eve visit and we were very, very disappointed! We expected the service to be slow but having arrived at 8pm we were still eating well past 11pm!!! My wife and I had the Chateaubriand and after the Sea food Chowder she could only eat half ...
The management and staff are first class. We live abroad but whenever we are in Durban, South Africa, at least one meal at the Roma is a must - it feels like coming home! The views are awesome overlooking Durban.

cant wait to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday at the ROMA, Durban
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/20/07
It is the perfect setting for the perfect view of beautiful DURBS while enjoying a sumptious gourmet meal with our loved ones. I make a point of going to Roma everytime I visit my family in Durbs... even if it is just to have some drinks with friends.

Are patrons since 1970

Simply great food, the best tomatosoup you have ever tasted combined with the most extraordinary view and friendly service, makes us go back again + again.

It was amazing we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary meal there, and still dream about going back. The sea food was the best I have ever tasted, and the sweets were to die for. I can highly ...

Best Experience Ever
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/06/07
I enjoyed absolutely every moment of my visit to Roma. It was my 21st birthday and..I have no regrets that I spent my evening there. They had a lovely board up in the window wishing me a happy birthday, the waiters were so friendly and helpful. They spoilt me with red roses, took a photo that they would post to me.The staff were exceptional..One of ...
I did not like that it was hard to get the attention of the waiters when you needed something,I think a bell or a light switch should be placed on every table, so it is easier to call for attention without distracting other patrons.otherwise this place is magic,great ''hot'' food,great survice,great welcome. just play some soft ...

Why go back ?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/23/07
I went to the Roma revolving restaurant on the 29th of December to celebrate my birthday, with total disgust at the restaurant, Firstly when we arrived at the restaurant we were seated in a small little area in the middle of the walkway on a table that was seated side by side and not on either side of the table. We waited for over 45 minutes ...

Romantic Experience

It was awesome. Our meal was excellent and it was cooked by the chef in front of us. WOW!! The waiter was very informative and invited us to take a look at the harbour from the roof top - with our glass of wine. The ambiance is one to remember for a very long time.
