The tasting journey at Romies unfolds as a sophisticated 'Bistro Américain' experience, blending Italian soul with the rugged bounty of the coast. The progression is anchored by the Pasta Alla Zozzona, a rich, emulsified masterpiece of egg yolk, guanciale, and pecorino that coats each strand in a velvety, savory sheen. Charcoal grilling is the primary technique for the mains, producing fish with a smoky, crackling skin and moist, translucent flakes that dissolve on the tongue. The aroma of wood-fired meats and freshly baked focaccia defines the open-kitchen atmosphere, signaling a commitment to bold, unmasked flavors. A standout is the beef tartare 'A La Russe,' where hand-chopped prime cuts are seasoned with precision to achieve a delicate balance of acidity and umami. For the finale, the Brooklyn Blackout Cake offers a dense, chocolatey intensity, its moist crumb providing a luxurious textural conclusion. The chef’s philosophy emphasizes generous portions and technical depth, making it a premier maritime destination.
