Romano's Stromboli
Romano's Stromboli claims to be the originator of stromboli, and the restaurant has a pretty convincing story involving movie stars, torrid affairs and, of course, Stromboli, Italy. Whatever the case may be, Romano's serves scrumptious stromboli. Romano's also maintains a rather extensive menu of Italian classics from pizza to traditional pasta dishes to its seemingly endless selection of sandwiches
