" It’s hard to resist visiting Roma when I crave Italian food. Their marinara sauce is vibrant and bursting with flavor, truly authentic. I adore the cozy interior and the owner’s attention to detail! I've only had takeout, but it has been excellent every time. They offer a wonderful array of gluten-free options too. Just last week, I tried their pasta primavera and loved how fresh the vegetables tasted! I can see why this is a beloved spot in Athens. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Roma Italian Restaurant. The ambiance was lovely and the lighting was just right, creating a pleasant atmosphere for dinner. However, my meal, the chicken parmesan, was a bit underwhelming. It lacked the zest I was hoping for. Thankfully, the warm bread served with garlic oil was delightful and made up for it somewhat. I found the service to be attentive and friendly which made the experience better. I think I’ll return to give another dish a try as I’ve heard great things about the shrimp scampi. Fingers crossed for a better meal next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having first visited years ago, it’s exciting to see Roma continue to thrive! They’ve always managed to deliver delightful meals. Recently, I enjoyed their seafood linguine, and it was packed with flavor! I appreciate how generous they are with portion sizes too. The atmosphere feels homely, making it a perfect place for family dinners. However, on busier nights, it can still take a little while to receive your food, but the quality is worth the wait. Definitely a favorite of mine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Roma Italian Restaurant has a special place in our hearts. We celebrated our anniversary there last week, and the experience was wonderful! The food was absolutely incredible – I had the veal piccata and my wife enjoyed a classic margherita pizza. Both dishes were flavorful, and the presentation was outstanding. The owner even stopped by our table to chat and ensure everything was up to our satisfaction. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, making it the perfect place for a special occasion. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Italian food in Athens! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Roma for the first time last weekend and I was thoroughly impressed! The service was prompt and the staff were genuinely friendly. I chose the shrimp scampi, and wow, it was one of the most delicious dishes I've had in a long time. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with garlic and wine. The only downside was that it took a while for my drink to arrive, but it was definitely worth it. I will definitely be back to try more items from their extensive menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a gem of a restaurant! I am always searching for authentic Italian food and I found it at Roma. The fettuccine Alfredo was creamy and delicious, while the shrimp on top was cooked to perfection. However, I have to mention the service was a bit slow during my visit. I noticed several tables where diners were waiting a while for their food. Despite that, the friendly staff made the atmosphere very welcoming. I’ll still be back for their amazing food, just hoping for quicker service next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Roma remains a family favorite for Italian cuisine! The staff has always treated us like family, and every dish we have tried has been a hit! On our last visit, I had the eggplant parmesan - it was expertly prepared, full of flavor and served with a generous portion of pasta. My kids love the ravioli, and we always share an order of calamari, which is so fresh and perfectly cooked. It’s great that they have gluten-free options available too. Roma’s truly stands out for both its authentic food and the wonderful service. We’ll keep making this our regular spot in town! " (*Curated Review*)
