We had such a great experience! Ashyln was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. She was on top of everything and made sure we had everything we needed.
The food was excellent, the drinks were delicious, and every staff member we interacted with was kind and helpful. You can tell the team really cares about giving great service. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!

Snippets of our conversation during our meal
Linh our waitress was so attentive and charming. She was wonderful and really kept the fun going.
Get the tiramisu AND the cheesecake. And the ricotta. AND the calamari.
Had an absolutely incredible first visit to Bad Roman Beverly Hills last night! The food was phenomenal! We loved the Montauk Fluke, Eggplant Pull-a-Parm, Peekytoe Crab Luigi, Sweet Potato Spiedini, and the desserts were amazing. The espresso martini was one of the best I’ve had, and I appreciated it being served in a larger martini glass that wasn’t filled to the brim.
What truly made the experience exceptional was the hospitality. The entire staff was wonderful — our server Alex was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made the night so enjoyable. Israel was also a pleasure, and huge thanks to Kevin, Alyssa, and Brendan for making our first visit so memorable.
Beautiful atmosphere, generous portions, surprisingly affordable for Beverly Hills, and overall just an amazing experience. This place is absolutely going to be the next hotspot in Beverly Hills!
BAD ROMAN HAS A HOT VIBE AND SOME REALLY GOOD FOOD!
I make my own reservations and pay my own bills when I dine out.
PROS: Great Vibe! Great Service, Good pricing and overall a good and fun experience.CONS: You have to pick which food you want carefully.PROTIP: Secret Menu
I went to Bad Roman for my birthday (4 of us total) in late June because I wanted to try a new BH restaurant. I watched all the TikTok videos and reviews and picked out the right dishes before I went. Reception was good. We had to wait for a 7:45p reservation and they were nice enough to comp our drinks as we waited.The vibe in the restaurant is GREAT. It seems like it would sit well in Vegas. Lots of energy and good looking people, though BH tends to get an older crowd. Bar area is small so if you just want to come in for drinks and a bite it could be tough to get a seat.
We got a nice 4 top with a banquette and it was fantastic. Our waitress (Suheli R) was excellent and wasted no time to get everything going. She knew the Secret Menu and how to access everything.We knew what we wanted and ordered. These are the best dishes they have:All items were shared.

Yellowtail Crudo - BEST DISH OF THE NIGHT!Eggplant Pull Apart - like a blooming onion - great breading and sauce - great for the table!Chicken Parm - Secret Menu - just OK - small for $15Paccheri Amatriciana - Secret Menu - extra cheese and burnt top - Excellent! Branzion - good - needed more sauce, but tastySpicy Lobster - put together tableside - the lobster was small, but the taste was great!Lemon Cheesecake - great presentation, great key lime taste and so refreshing - really well done - Bravo!Birthday Bonus - Caramelized Chocolate Tart and Olive Oil Gelato - Really thick cake - maybe pass on this one.
The Babka, Caesar, Curdo and Eggplant came so fast! It seemed like it took only a moment. What a great way to start! All the food was fantastic. Mains (Parm, 2 pastas and Branzino) took a while, so order them early.
Service was exceptional. From the waitress to all the staff—table cleanup, packing up food, everything—was just strong!The bill—surprising. All of this was $280 and $307 with tax. Not bad for 4 people.
I would easily go back to Bad Roman - a great place to take a date, celebrate or just have some good Italian food.Do you research in advance. Some of the food receives bad reviews but my choices were stellar.
Bravo Bad Roman!
Amazing restaurant with a sexy, vibrant atmosphere and fantastic food. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the outstanding management team—they create a welcoming experience from the moment you walk in. The general manager is especially handsome and carries himself with professionalism and charm, which adds to the restaurant’s great energy. Excellent service, great vibes, and delicious food. Highly recommend!
