Passing through town and stopped for lunch. We had garlic bread, salads, pizza, and chicken ubriaca. We were very pleasantly surprised to find a great Italian restaurant in a small town! The customer service was EXCELLENT! Haven’t had that kind of service in a very long time. We’ll definitely make a point to stop when we pass through there again.

I was driving from Austin and I stopped in Athens to grab something to eat and I found Romas Italian restaurant. I was amazed by the hospitality, food,service. Dino was so nice he made sure that we got the order right . I wanted gluten free,I was surprised to get gluten free pizza crust with veggies. I am absolutely satisfied and I would highly recommend this to anyone coming to the area. Its a must try.I wpuld definitely come back.

Went in there cause i was feeling italian food. Was greeted very nicely by a waitress and was led to my table. Within 15, I had received my food (which was a pizza and spaghetti), and good Lord let me tell you Romas has the best pizza (and overall Italian food) in Texas! The waitress was also very attentive and made sure I was taken care of. I will for sure comeback. Very affordable considering the quality of the food and the atmosphere.

Stopped in last night to order a takeout. Staff was so polite even though it was close to closing time. I stayed and dined in. Spaghetti was fabulous along with mozzarella tortellini soup. So good, I ordered a supreme pizza to take home for today. Great flavor, beautiful crust. Stop in and see them for a wonderful meal.

Food and atmosphere is wonderful. Authentic Italian flavor and hospitality with a great variety. Dino is the best and greets everybody warmly, whether he recognizes you or not. He remembers everybody and their usuals and makes sure service is exceptional. Will definitely be back.

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.

What an incredible experience! Tonight me and my husband were craving Italian and of course we chose Roma Italian Restaurant. As always the eggplant and chicken parm were excellent. Tonight we had to try the Alfredo pizza and of course that did not disappoint.The ambiance is always warm and welcoming. Today I chose pickup order and as soon as I arrived, they greeted me at the door. Not only did they throw in a free dessert but they also helped me carry my food to my car without even being asked to do so. If you want a great night out or just excellent people to meet, go to Roma's! It will not disappoint.

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! 🇮🇹🍷

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

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 Kellum

First visit and definitely won't be the last. 100% please with with everything we ordered and would definitely recommend.

When you enter a business, some will say welcome or something once, but often I think do they mean that or just saying because made to do so. Not the case here. The owner was truly thankful I and others came. He was delightful and thanked me at least three times while I was there. The food is flavor and plentiful. My chicken piccata hand lots of chicken and just the right amount of noodles. Some Italian places have more noodles than meat but not here. The flavor was just the right amount of lemon, butter, white wine, and my favorite part is the capers. The bread was fresh and soft. If I had any dislike, it would be that a side salad does not come with the entree. Otherwise, it is a quaint, peaceful, and authentic.

Very cozy and comfortable. We were immediately greeted when we walked in. We could barely hear or see the people in the next booth. They played good music on low volume. Our server was very sweet and took good care of us without bothering us too much. The food was so delicious. I love Italian food but theirs was not what you expect from such a small building. Everything tasted fresh. We felt full after our meal but not overstuffed or bloated. My husband's had manicotti, I had seafood Alfredo, and we shared fried ravioli and stuffed mushrooms. I attached a picture of the mushrooms. Everything was cooked just right. Pastas were al dente, not over or undercooked. The sauces were well balanced, not greasy or too sweet. We really enjoyed our dinner.

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.
