Creatives in Place
By David Landis–
They’ve called her “the most photographed nun in the world.” She’s been the subject of a paper doll. And she presides over the annual Hunky Jesus contest every Easter. Who dat? Why, none other than the popular drag queen and Sister of Perpetual Indulgence, Sister Roma.
She’s had accolades for years. But she’s never had a restaurant named after her. Until now.
Matthew Leum, owner of recently-opened Roma’s Ristorante Italiano in SOMA, explained: “Sister Roma and I have been friends for more than 30 years after meeting at The Stud. I found myself needing a name for the restaurant. I needed something that I could blend the Italian with but make it more local. Rome is my absolute favorite city. And then I thought, how about Roma’s? So, I called Roma up and said, ‘Can I name my restaurant after you?’ To which Roma responded, ‘At first, I was like are you serious? And then I immediately said yes. ”
