Rolands Trattoria - Washington

Give the Chicken Parm a try, and you'll understand.

The food is fantastic—definitely the best Italian in the PA-WV-MD tri-state area. The quality is excellent, and the portions are generous for the price. Overall, it's a wonderful dining experience!

What a fantastic discovery! This restaurant not only serves excellent Italian cuisine, but it also offers some of the best food I've ever tasted. I started with the garlic bread as an appetizer, and it was light, flaky, and absolutely delicious. For my main course, I chose the Chicken Barbara, and it was remarkable! Its flavors were light, citrusy, and sweet, making it a unique and delightful dish. I will definitely be returning!

While the building may be old, it has a rich history; both it and the structure next door are over a century old and were part of the Lincoln Hill Mines. Roland's used to be a tavern and theater, while the adjacent building served as the company store. Like any restaurant, staff come and go, but if you give the place and its team a chance, the food will blow you away! And be sure to visit on prime rib night—it's absolutely incredible!

Don’t visit for the service or atmosphere. The establishment is falling apart, and I’m not sure how it passes inspections, but thankfully it does. The waitstaff is terrible, and the hostess is a joke. We were seated at 7:00 and didn’t get our drinks until 7:45, and that was only because we took matters into our own hands. Make no mistake, this place is a disaster. However, I absolutely loved the food. It was fantastic! I had the end cut prime rib, cooked rare, and everyone else at my table who ordered prime rib felt the same way. Roland even made me a special batch of coconut ice cream, which was divine. If you can overlook the restaurant's shortcomings and focus on Roland’s cooking, this place is definitely a winner.
