    Mamma Mia! If you want real authentic Italian food, you have to dine at Roma D’Italia at 25606 Crown Valley Parkway in the Mercantile West Shopping Plaza, Ladera Ranch, CA 92694.
    Trust me, it’s the real deal. I married into a authentic first-generation Italian family and one of the many things Italian that I learned is that most Americans don’t know the savory understated flavor and aroma of real Italian cooking.
    When you dine at Louie Corea’s Roma D’Italia, you’re enjoying the rich, savory taste of real Italian home cooking.
    Louie, shown on the right in from of his restaurant, is a fixture at the restaurant. His warm, friendly personality adds to the delightful experience by walking from table to table making sure everyone feels at home and is getting the attention and service they deserve.
    Americans love knowing their chefs personally and, after one dinner at Roma D’Italia, you’ll leave feeling like a member of Louie’s family.
    And, believe me, it’s no act. Louie loves people more than he loves cooking . . . and he really loves cooking. 
    While all that adds to the ambiance of Roma D’Italia, with its traditional checkered-covered tablecloths and Italian décor, the real proof of the food is in the eating.
    Roma D’Italia serves a full menu of Italian delights, from traditional pasta dishes to chicken, fish, seafood, and veal delicacies.
    A wide range of appetizers and starters range from calamari to rich minestrone soup to genuine antipasto salad. 
    My personal favorite meal is Spaghetti Roma D’Italia, comprised of linguini baked with meat sauce, mushrooms, and ricotta cheese, with two meatballs and an antipasto salad on the side. 
    But make no mistake, there are so many choices on the menu – including a tasty lineup of pizza selections and many meat-lovers dishes – including filet mignon – that you’ll have trouble deciding.
    During this recession, Louie has been offering deals his customers can’t refuse. This month he is offering a Family Dinner for 4-6 people which includes a large one-topping pizza, two pounds of spaghetti, his famous house salad, and fresh homemade bread — all for only $29.95. Or you can order two 12" 1-topping pizzas for only $13.95. 
    The specials change from month to month, so be sure to check out his specials every month in the Ladera Times.
    And, if you don’t feel like going out for dinner, Roma D’Italia delivers to homes in Ladera. And you can order off the full menu.
    Serving superb Italian cuisine has been a tradition in the Corea family for over 50 years.
