Can't say the food at this old-school Italian eatery is off the charts, but the atmosphere and the crowd are absolutely beyond measure. Located smack dab in the middle of Beverly Hills, Roma pulls in characters that belong in a dream world where only the super rich are allowed. Old ladies with massive hair, see-through blouses, gigantic glasses and tiny dogs. Macho, gray haired Italian guys with big bellies, gold chains and sun glasses. You'll see these folks here by the dozen. In some ways it's a stereotypical scene, but it really transcends stereotyping because it's so intense and so real.
Pros: The Crowd, The Location
Cons: Ice Berg Lettuce
