When most people think of fresh food, they think of things like never-frozen meats, farm-fresh produce… you know, things along those lines. For some reason, for most (not all, but most), fresh pasta never really comes to mind. After all, it’s something we all purchase in a box or a bag and cook, but it’s not often that most (again, not all… just most) of us make our own from scratch. Enter restaurants like the incredible ROMA Ristorante in beautiful Carmel; the pasta here is made daily from scratch, by hand, and I swear it’s easily the freshest pasta in Indiana. Come try it and see the difference for yourself; dining in Indiana is always an adventure, and this little spot is the Italian leg of the journey.

Located in beautiful Carmel, Roma is one of those spots where if you blink, you might just miss it.

But slow down and take a closer look: this amazing restaurant is so much more than "just" Italian food. Sure, lots of restaurants do Italian - but they don't do it like Roma does.
From the moment you walk in, you're immersed in a setting where modernity is embraced in terms of aesthetics, but old-world is the way to go in terms of the menu.

There's something special about this particular Italian restaurant in Indiana: the pasta here is utterly INCREDIBLE - and it's all hand-made in-house.
Yep. Like I said, you can find lots of Italian joints in Indiana, but most of them aren't doing that.

While other spots receive their pasta shipped to them in bags and boxed, Roma Ristorante goes the extra mile (or 10) and simply makes its own award-winning, to-die-for pasta.
