ORLANDO, Fla. – Oct. 1, 2018 – Romacorp, Inc., the parent company of Tony Roma’s®, announces its newest locations in Andalucía, Sevilla, Spain and Hortaleza, Madrid, Spain.

Nestled in the center of a bustling business district, and a lively, immersive shopping street, these Tony Roma’s will feature all-new menus combined with classics to delight their international fanbase.
The Andalucía, Sevilla Tony Roma’s is located in the brand-new Torre Sevilla Shopping Center, opened on Sept. 26, 2018, which will be an eclectic hub of fashion, culture, and cuisine. This is general manager and franchisee owner Jacob López Curciel’s first Tony Roma’s.
“We are delighted to not only be a part of the Torre Sevilla project, but also bring the first Tony Roma’s to this area,” said Jacob López Curciel. “Being in the restaurant industry for the past 10 years, I am dedicated to seeing this location grow and am eager to sharing my love and passion for this industry with our guests.”

Tony Roma’s will be located on the restaurant floor of the tower and will feature 177 seats for its indoor location. Its hours of operation will run from noon to 4 p.m. for lunch, and 7 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. for dinner. On weekends, guests can enjoy an extra hour of delicious food with extended evening hours of 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The restaurant will also feature a full bar with beer, liquor, and wine, as well as two televisions.
