" We visited Roma last weekend, and while we enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly service, the food did not meet our expectations. My husband ordered the lasagna, which he claimed was very bland and lacked seasoning. I had chicken marsala which was better but still underwhelming. We loved the complimentary bread rolls, though! It was nice to have a warm start to our meal. Overall, we might give it another shot, but we were hoping for more from the entrees based on the rave reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Me and my family have been regulars at Roma for about a year now. It has become our go-to spot for Italian food in Athens. The owner and staff make you feel like part of the family! The pizza is phenomenal, especially when you add extra toppings. We also love their garlic knots—so tasty! The flavors are authentic, and the ingredients feel fresh. The only thing I’d mention is that sometimes it gets busy on weekends which can lead to longer wait times, but it’s totally worth it once you get your food. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always look forward to dining at Roma's. I recently ordered the tortellini alfredo and it was simply divine! The sauce was rich and creamy, plus the portion was just right - not too large, but enough to satisfy my hunger. The service was quick and friendly; my waiter was very attentive without being intrusive, which I truly appreciate. The ambiance is charming, with an Italian touch that makes you feel you're in Italy. I honestly can’t think of a better Italian restaurant to recommend. Do yourself a favor and check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a local Italian spot, look no further than Roma’s! The chicken cacciatore was hearty and flavorful, and the accompanying pasta was cooked al dente. The service has always been friendly whenever I have visited. It’s a family-owned place that takes pride in their food, and it shows. My only critique would be that sometimes it can get a bit noisy when it's busy. But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for such great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time at Roma, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! The service was friendly and quick, and the owner made us feel very welcome. I ordered the caprese salad as an appetizer and it was fresh and vibrant. For my entrée, I tried the shrimp scampi, which was flavorful, although I wish there were more shrimp in the dish. Overall, a solid experience and I would definitely return to sample more of their 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*)
