Lilian Spieth acquired Roma Imports of America in 1999, a modest wholesale Italian food business then located in Tucson's historic Barrio San Antonio district. She had no prior business experience, but the business grew as she listened to customers and delivered Italian food made with quality ingredients. Within a few years it transformed from a wholesale operation serving local restaurants into a retail store, restaurant, delicatessen, and catering hub. Roma Imports still supplies some local restaurateurs with homemade sausages and specialty Italian items.

The business is open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 6pm and closed on Sundays. Its eight refrigerators and freezers are stocked with traditional Italian and international entrees, many made fresh in its own kitchen. Lilian's culinary background includes being born in Calcutta.

Roma Imports sits at 627 S Vine Ave, about a tenth of a mile from South Kino Parkway and the KNDE-FM tower, and roughly two tenths of a mile from East Aviation Parkway, Arroyo Chico Wash, and Railroad Wash. The Arroyo Chico nature preserve is about three tenths of a mile away.

Roma Imports has built a strong local reputation reflected in consistently high customer ratings, supported by an established track record across a large base of customer reviews.
