Roma Importing






Located at 222 Washington St., Saratoga Springs, NY.

I would die without this place! 
Being from Utica I can not do without all sorts of Italian groceries and Roma has everything; plus a lot of surprise stuff.

The selection of meats is great with many dry cured products that have become very hard to find.

Without a doubt the sandwiches and salads are a huge draw. 
I always get my wife sliced soppressata and a salad while I can't leave without a capocola and provolone sub.

The pasta and tomato section rocks. There is plenty of my favorite pasta; DeCecco.
I will eat no other commercially prepared pasta! 
There is so much to cover like the sweets, olive oil, pasta makers and Mediterranean  products.
Roma even has a selection of fine salts!

If that were not enough the service is incredible.
The manager/owner(?) once opened the store back up for me when I bought the wrong olive oil at closing time. To top it off the guy sent me home with a pricier oil out of the kindness of his heart!

All of the employees are really helpful and give that rare personal touch.

The art of the submarine sandwich is not lost at Roma.
