★★★★★ 5.0 Sweet Cruz · Jan 2026

Stopped for dinner going back home from my work trip today. The interior of the restaurant was just beautiful and classy. The music was lovely and the menu wasn't overwhelming. Kaydence the Host was very sweet and welcoming. She helped me narrow my options and I went with the chicken piccata with added mushrooms and kids spaghetti with meatballs and a slice of tiramisu. I decided to sit at a booth and read my book rather than outside in my car. That’s where I met Dino. I observed and noticed that he stopped and talked with everyone who was eating then made his way towards me. He was very funny and kind and told me in advance that the food was going to be delicious. Yes, he was right! For small Athens I’m impressed! Portions were great and the food was still steaming after my hour drive bac

Stopped by with my daughter for some bonding time and we felt very welcomed. Amazing little cozy Italian restaurant. Our waitress was lovely and attentive, Dino was very pleasant and friendly. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked! Everything tasted authentic and their Tiramisu is the best I’ve tried. We will be back!

Against my better judgment, I allowed my husband to convince me to go to an Italian restaurant in the middle of nowhere East Texas. Being famished and with the preference of the finer things, we went in. Strike one was the fact that no one was in the facility at dinner time save for one couple in a lonely corner booth. I had a few questions to get a feeler for what we were getting ourselves into and sure enough, my fears were confirmed.... this food was about to be mid as L. I opted to make the experience better by ordering a glass of wine.... they didn't have what I requested from the menu, ok, no worries! I understand. Went through a couple more hoops to find something they did have, no prob. As we look over our food options we find that garlic bread is on the menu. Oh, ok, so no free b

★★★★★ 5.0 Mr. Tech Review · Dec 2025

Roma Italian Restaurant in Athens is an absolute gem, don’t sleep on this place! From start to finish, everything was outstanding. We ordered the tortellini pesto, fettuccine Alfredo, and stromboli, and every single dish was incredibly delicious and clearly made with care. True five-star quality across the board. We started with the fried cheese sticks, which were perfectly crispy and melty, an excellent appetizer. The complementary bread rolls deserve a shoutout too! They were BIG, warm, fresh, and seriously tasty. One thing that really stood out was the sweet tea, hands down some of the best we’ve had. Refreshing and perfectly sweetened. And for dessert, the cheesecake was the perfect finish to the meal. It was rich, creamy, and absolutely satisfying. Overall, this was a 5-star experi

★★★★★ 5.0 Diana Dontplay · Oct 2025

Authentic mama mia italian food DINO was so friendly and welcoming. Wine from Chile was amazing. We had garlic cheese bread, veal and chicken parmigiana. Delicious like my italian mama would have made. Had leftovers for breakfast. Just visiting so plan on going back a few times before heading home. Oh yes and took lemon marscapone cake to go. Delicious! Ok so had to come back again. This time margarita pizza and toetellini alla panna. Pizza was great, crunchy crust and nice amount of garlic. Will make a great leftover breakfast. Hubby enjoyed his pasta and had sone more of the red merlot wine. Frantera merlit. Caesar salad too but the dressing was best part but i am not a lettuxe fan
