About Roma
Shanon Scott, Owner
Shanon has been in the hospitality industry for over 38 years. His tenure includes operating as General Manager at restaurants such as Arcodoro, DaMarco, Simposio, Amerigo’s, and Arturo’s Uptown–where he eventually became co-owner. His vast experience working with top chefs and restaurant owners gave him insight and expertise on Italian cuisine that he cultivated and ingrained into the well-loved eatery that Roma is today.
Shanon’s love and admiration for Italy doesn’t start and stop at his previous restaurants. Rather, it was his love for the country that led to him traveling extensively throughout 20 regions of Italy. He experienced vineyards, restaurants, the people and the culture with which he fell in love. From there, his passion led him to open his own Italian restaurant.
His first solo endeavor was Sud Italia, a restaurant focused on Southern Italian cuisine which thrived for three years until he decided he wanted more for it. Equipped with his passion, creativity, and knowledge of what his customers cared about, Sud Italia transformed into Roma–a truly unique experience that allows for guests to indulge in the extensive flavors that Italy has to offer.
This Italian eatery has been thriving for over eight years and attracts new loyal customers daily. Shanon is well known in Houston for his knowledge, his commitment to service and quality, and the personal touch he dedicated to each of his guests. He has been featured in local, state, and national publications for Roma’s reputation and award-winning cuisine.
