Tony Roma's International 1972 The first Tony Roma’s was opened in north Miami, Florida on January 20, 1972. The Baby Back Ribs has emerged as one of the house specialties and people traveled kilometers to experience the famous creation. Tony Roma’s Place soon became one of the most successful restaurants and one of the most popular in Miami, definitely establishing its niche in the market. Tony Roma's Goes International In 1980, everything changed for Tony Roma’s. We opened our first international location in Tokyo, Japan! With numerous other openings, Tony Roma’s now had locations in North America, Canada and Tokyo, Japan…let the journey begin! It's All About the Ribs The 90’s were a busy time for us. Not only did we begin with an aggressive expansion in Asia, but we also began offering two additional barbecue sauces; Blue Ridge Smokies and Red Hots to be exact. Along with an expansion in Southeast Asia, we also opened in South America with locations in Peru and Venezuela, along with a location in Central America in El Salvador. But wait, we can’t forget about the introduction of the Romarita (cocktails just make a meal better)! Changing of the Guard Even with the retiring of Chef David Smith, our original chef, and the loss of Tony Roma; Tony Roma’s kept things cooking in the kitchen! Between the years of 2001 and 2006 Tony Roma’s began to experiment with new menu items — one dish stole the show, our Famous Kickin’ Shrimp. Things began to heat up with the introduction of Executive Chef Bob Gallagher in the year 2006. Bringing an extensive culinary background, including the ability to blend flavors from all over the world; Chef Gallagher began to bring Tony Roma’s to the forefront of polished casual restaurants.
