I would give zero stars, worst dining experience of our life. Unbearable atmosphere louder than a nightclub full of awful, pissed up, Barnsley clientele. Food was bland. Could not believe my eyes when the blonde member of staff behind the bar appeared to stick her middle finger up at me, to her horror when she realised I saw her do it! Presumably because I left 90% of my food and my face must have reflected our disappointment. Only positive was the large measures of wine which was needed to get through such a terrible night.

Overnight in Barnsley and sought out an independent restaurant. Romano's delivered big time! Excellent food, service, atmosphere and value. Superb family run Italian.

The food was good, the service was very good,the price of wine was good (although no Chardonnay. The bistro itself was decorated for Christmas which was a little over the top with tacky decorations. The atmosphere was very strained as there was a table with owners and family watching over things, which is very uncomfortable. Shame really because the food was good . Ps the roof on the bar is worth a look even if its through the window.

I'm really disappointed with our visit to Bistro Romanos. On the website they advertise that it is an intimate setting, which is very literal. It's a very small restaurant with not much space between tables meaning there is always waiters walking next to you. It felt more intimidating than intimate. There were also candles on each table so it wouldn't take much for someone to accidentally set themselves on fire when walking passed (I am an anxious person if you can't tell). We ordered garlic bread with cheese for starters and found out that the waiter mixed up our order with the table next to us, so we had to wait quite a while for them to redo it. When we did get our food, it was very bland. It was as if the base was bought from a shop. We could see there were quite a lot of mix ups going on with the table next to us and there was a lot of arguing between the manager and waiters. Next minute the manager is waving the paper with their order around in front of my boyfriends face. I really couldn't believe it! Extremely unprofessional. We got our mains pretty quickly but we ordered pizzas and again the base was the weird shop bought tasting thing. However the tomato sauce was really nice. Overall, I think if we went at a quieter time it may have been better but our experience has really put us off and we just wanted to leave. I didn't get the chance to inform the staff of our disappointment as we were already late for the cinema so had to dash off. But one positive I can say is that we were also 30mins late for our table due to traffic and they did manage to save it for us which we did appreciate.
Amazing food and friendly service. Both me and my girlfriend throughly enjoyed our food and experience and will definitely be returning in thw future.

We choose this restaurant because it said had GF options when arrived the waiters didn’t really know what food was ok for me to eat then another waiter came and said we make anything gf apart from pizza so I ordered stating I was celiac and he put GF on order slip I had stuffed pepper and started to feel a reaction soon after I ate it once home and feeling really ill I called restaurant and spoke to chef he didn’t know a celiac was eating in the restaurant! And I felt he knew I ate something I shouldn’t off !! NOT SUITABLE FOR CELIACS EATING HERE!

I would imagine it's been there 30 years and never had a refurb. Quite a strange little place but nice dimly lit atmosphere. Quite shocked at the prices for a Barnsley Bistro. Food was good. As with many local eateries definitely substance over style (big portions - little finesse!)......fillet steak really good but at nearly £36 it should be! Staff friendly. All other tables were "birthdays" and having a good old singalong to Dean Martin. Volare! Ohh ohhh ohhh ho! If I'm ever back in the area I will return for a touch of nostalgia! Pass the Black Forest please and a glass of Black Tower.
