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 back home. Everything tasted very fresh and was cooked beautifully, just the way I love my piccata. The tiramisu was sweet, cold and delicious.
Will I be back? Yes and I can’t wait until I’m in Athens again because I know where I will be going.

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 bread. Fine, we’re at the end of 2025, can’t expect to see many things for free anymore. Strange to see in an Italian place though….kind of like no chips and salsa in a Mexican restaurant, but fine. We order the bread and spinach and artichoke dip to find a pink sauce with 4 flecks of artichoke and spinach each. The bred no DOUBT was from a package of dollar general sandwich rolls toasted. Whatever, we’re hungry and we’re already here, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t really that good either. We’re ready to order our main dishes and we decided to add 2 ceaser salads but request to add red onions. Our waitress confirms they do have red onions and can add them to the salad. Sweet! We get our salads and they come undressed with this tiiiny ramekin of dressing (I’m talking the same size as the paper cups you use to put ketchup in at like Wendy’s) and are LOADED with red onions. No big deal, we’ll just take the extra ones off. When our waitress comes back we request another little ramekin of dressing and i kid you not, she tells us she’d have to charge us $6. We sit there STUNNED as she explains that she can’t sell us the same sized dressings she gave us but would have to charge us for a bowl of dressing……. ?! The waitress was pretty young, so we’re not mad at her at all, but things were starting to get a bit ridiculous. We turned her down and continued to eat our dry salads. Our entrees finally come and I hate that the photos give the dishes more flavor than they deserve credit for. My husband’s chicken resembled something that would come out of an astronaut’s food selection in outer space and the slices of sausage in my fettuccine were so thin I feared they’d gut me on the way down…the food was very bland, I don’t know when the last time was that I actually had to use the table salt, but we threw that, the parm, and hot pepper flakes at it to make it somewhat edible. By this point I’m ready to go,I took about 3 bites and by the waitresses surprise asked for the check. Low and behold there’s a MASSIVE extra charge, what on earth could it be??? The onions y’all……$6. I’ll be darned….. they REALLY wanted that extra $6 out of us…. I’m peeved because we’re civilized folk, so we couldn’t not leave a tip, the waitress did her job- and well….so the only way I can feel justice is leaving this review. I wouldn’t waste my time or extra $6 coming back here…..but I really should have known.

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 experience in every way, food, quality, and flavor all on point. If you’re in Athens and craving Italian, Roma Italian Restaurant is a must-visit!

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

Warm service and true Italian comfort
Dino makes sure everyone is noticed and taken care of—he runs the dining room with genuine warmth and attention to detail. The atmosphere feels upscale yet it’s not. Comfortable, yes, with nice touches like cloth napkins and fresh basil that set the tone right away.
I started with the antipasto, followed by a Margherita pizza that was perfectly crisp and full of flavor, and finished with a classic tiramisu that was light, rich, and just the right amount of sweet.
From start to finish, everything felt thoughtfully prepared and authentically Italian. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!

Updated review. Tonight we had spaghetti with meat sauce and senior/child lasagna. It was delicious. See photos this is now our third time here and every time the food has been exceptional. The service is also first-class.
My husband and I went here for the first time and the food was delicious. In addition, we were asked several times to make sure that we were happy with the food and the appetizer which was garlic cheese bread. We did not try dessert here, but they have Italian favorites. I wish I had taken photos as this will be a place we will come to again.

It’s always a delight to spend an evening dining here. I can’t say enough about the food quality, attentive service and just overall ambience that Romas brings to an eating experience. We enjoyed a wonderfully presented tiramisu last night. Athens is truly lucky to have such a superb Italian restaurant. We’re making it our ”go to” for date night.

Stephanie was amazing, fast, and knew what we needed before we did! The gluten-free pizza and pasta were some of the best we’ve ever had, and this place is celiac-safe!
