We came here for lunch on Valentine’s Day. The fact that the restaurant wasn’t very busy should have been a sign. The hostess seated us quickly… literally, she was speed walking to the booth. The music was annoying. No one wants to listen to Alabama Shakes’ Sound and Color on repeat. The server was friendly, and she seemed to be dealing with a slow kitchen. The menu seems like it is much smaller than it was in the past. There was a very limited selection of entrees. When your drink menu is larger than your food menu, that’s concerning. The bread was ice cold and soggy as if it had been refrigerated. Dipping cold, soggy bread into oil and vinegar was gross. The side salad was the highlight of our meal. After waiting an HOUR for our entrees, we were very disappointed with them. The pasta had definitely been sitting for a while. My husband’s rigatoni was too soft and didn’t retain its shape. I tried the spicy tomato fettuccine special since I didn’t see anything on the menu that really called out to me. There was nothing spicy about that sauce. The grilled chicken on top of the pasta was thin and dry. The fettuccine was stuck together like it had been sitting all day. I don’t understand how an Italian restaurant that has been here for decades can fail to make edible pasta. We ate here all the time when we lived here. My coworkers held my bridal shower and baby shower here. We were looking forward to having Valentine’s Day lunch at Depalma’s. This experience was so bad that we’re taking it off our list of “must go” places when we visit our family.

Fabulous server; Karen was attentive, friendly, gave great suggestions when asked. The homemade French bread with olive oil and balsamic great starter.
The lightly breaded chicken with subsided tomatoes and angel hair pasta was fabulous! The Affogato a tiramisu version served in a parfait glass was a fantastic dessert choice!! Will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went there Friday, in a large group. They’ve simplified the menu since my last disastrous visit. With a large group you expect things to be slow. We got a single refill on water in an hour and a half. The food took about an hour to come out, large group and all not unexpected. I ordered a cheese calazone, cheese and bread, about as easy as it can be. Everyone in our group of 18 or so finished their meals and I hadn’t gotten my calazone yet. Every 5 mins “it’ll be just a few more minutes.” As the rest of the table was ready to go and we asked for the bill I asked to change it to a togo order. Waitress proceeds to bring me an empty box. 15 mins later out comes the calazone, on a plate, with sauce in a bowl. Had to ask for a to go cup for the sauce. When I transfered the calazone to the box I was warm but not hot. An hour and a half and my food wasn’t even hot. Alright fine I got my food, it was now 1:35, I got there at 11:45. We had to ask for the checks again, really disappointed they added gratuity to my meal with little to no service and proceeded to ask if I wasn’t paying with a card and seemed inconvenienced that I was paying with cash and wanted to know the total.
So I brought my calazone home at 5 and fired up my pizza oven to reheat the calazone. Bread was crispy but tasteless, cheese was tasteless. I was disappointed after 2 hours of my life, had to package my own meal, ot was served warm not hot, and paying $17 for a calazone without taste.
If you want to be overcharged, undeserved, and spend a fair amount of time waiting on your food. This is the place for you! Otherwise there are plenty of good resteraunts in town, I’d recommend any of them over Depalmas.
South Kitchen, The Place, Gyro Wrap, Sully’s Steamers, World Famous, Mellow Mushroom, TacoriaSunami are all able to handle large groups with good service and tasty food.

We had lunch here last week for the first time in a while. Enjoyed some good drinks – recommend the Aperol spritz. The mushrooms appetizer is truly a flavor bomb of pesto goodness. Always love the marinara at Depalmas. Great on everything!

The cafe has one of the best menus around and an extensive wine list. When we miss normal European cuisine, we come here. We like the atmosphere and of course the pizza, the abundance of cheeses and thin dough – that’s what keeps attracting us to come here again! I recommend to take Italian wine in a bottle, the wine will pleasantly surprise you with its quality and flavors. The downside is that you may have to wait more than 25 minutes for the pizza, but in the end it is certainly worth it!

Seated nicely by super friendly hostess. Took 25 minutes for server to come to table to take drinks/food orders. After another 45 minutes we (party of 2) still had no food – no appetizers, salad, or entrees. During that additional 45 minutes no one came to check on us or explain why we still hadn’t been served anything (other than the water we had asked for). We flagged down server on a rare sighting towards the hour mark to ask what was happening and were told the kitchen was backed up. Place didn’t seem busy. Many empty tables around us. We also noticed that a woman at the table next to us was complaining that her shrimp wasn’t cooked, and her teenage son said he felt sick and ran to the restroom. Terrible experience – we won’t be back

My wife and I came here on a Friday afternoon in February 2023. Quiet place. The atmosphere is fantastic! Our server was excellent. He was knowledgeable with the drink menu and the main menu. We enjoyed an appetizer and some refreshments. Everything was perfect. Prices are as expected given that it is 2023. It was cool to watch the pizzas being hand tossed in the window. Nice touch.

Was here for a slow Sunday night. A great vibe. The staff was extremely friendly from the moment we entered the restaurant to when we left, and the food was decent. Was tempted to try the lasagna which seemed to be their specialty, but I was craving Alfredo so I went for fettuccine — might come back for the lasagna later!

Great Italian food with a good variety between pasta, pizza, and salads. Check out the breadsticks with two varieties to pick from. The last lunch specials are great. This restaurant is one my favorite places in Athens!

Had to sit at the bar this time. I’ve been eating here since college, 1999, and it’s always been good, BUT, DePalmas Eastside has a better menu. Bar tender was superb in his attention. As always, it will stay on the list of places to dine in Athens. THE GREATEST COLLEGE TOWN!
