text: I so desperately want to like Cafe Roma It is a small place with a takeout area and a dining room When you walk it it smells incredible I have yet to have something that tastes like the smellnnIve had the Penne with meat sauce The pasta was overcooked and the meat sauce was average The lasagna is above average and threatens to be good but does not quite make itnnThe side salad is okay as far as such things go It consists of mostly iceburg lettuce with a middle eastern type olive thrown in and a sprinkling of some kind of field green The salad dressings I have tried are bottlednnThere is a daily pasta special
