A resident of West New York, New Jersey, Romano was employed by the West New York School District. Romano was first elected to the General Assembly in 1991, together with Bernard Kenny of Jersey City, defeating Republican candidates Antonio Miguelez and A. Lazaro Guas. He served in the Assembly on the Appropriations Committee and the Joint Budget Oversight Committee.
In the June 1999 primaries, the Hudson County Democratic Party organization was looking for "new blood" and chose to give its official support to West New York mayor Albio Sires, as well as Romano"s fellow Assemblymember Rudy Garcia.
Despite losing the endorsement, Romano ran in the Democratic primary and lost, making him the only one of the 80 incumbents in the Assembly to lose their primary bid.
