“Absolutely delightful! The pasta was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the tiramisu heavenly. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Cozy atmosphere and delicious food — hopefully we can come back soon

Had an incredible dinner tonight. They have some wonderful outdoor dining on the upper parking lot. It felt like we were in a little Italian ristorante on the Italian coast. There food was excellent and the view of the sunset was incredible.

This place was delicious, and the back patio seating is cute and romantic. Can cobble together a good vegetarian meal from two apps and the cannoli was fantastic.

I have been to Rumari several times and each time you can count on consistently great food, service and quality. The restaurant can become rather loud, as the tables are close together and the establishment is cozy. Parking can be difficult during peak hours.

The pasta was absolutely delicious! The seasoning was delicate, and the house-made pasta (Chef's Rotelle) was especially amazing. The staff were also very friendly. It was a place we entered by chance, but it turned out to be a wonderful memory!
