Has anyone tried Romano Italian Street Food in Metaire?

I finally got around to it, and let down it was.
First off, I asked the people I knew what Italian street food they ate in Italy. I asked "hey in Italy did you ever see pasta served in a tortilla with a salad?"
Because that is what it is. It's the Italian Izzo's. You get a tortilla, choice of pasta, sauce, meat and veggies.
Basically an Italian Burrito. I did not like it at all. I was expecting paninis, maybe pizza or you know... Italian Street food.
A huge letdown.

Went once when they first opened and haven't going back. Just lie you said it's the Italian Izzo's and I'm not an Izzo's fan.

Whaa? Why would it be called Italian Street food if it's just a place selling wraps? Dumb.

That just looks stupid.

Looks to me like it's trying to be a Piadina. They come from NE Italy.

The manager asked how we liked it. I told her it wasn't what I was expecting for Italian street food. The sauce was pretty good, and it may have worked on a panini. But seeing them wrap it in the exact same style wraps as Izzo's use, was strange.
You could also build it in a bowl like Izzo's. I submitted this place to Chicken's guide to review.

It's alright but I've only been once and there are about 10 others places I would rather go in the area. You also get salads which I would go with before the wrap
