The folks in Athens Texas should feel fortunate to have such a fine establishment as Romas Italian restaurant. The food is excellent the quality is mmua! Delisioso! This isn’t fast food garbage folks. You hear about New York City Italian food & restaurants. Well, here it is folks! Romas is the real deal pickle!!! Not junk food, not fast food. But very good yum ding good eating thump your belly delicious desires. I simply believe that Romas Italian restaurant serves besides all of their delicious dishes THE BEST DAD GUM PIZZA AROUND BAR NONE!!! Some got to win some got to loose. Romas Italian restaurant & Pizza is the Champ! Go for it . You will be back. As I have been for the past three years. Enjoy yall.

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.

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.

I have to say this is the best Italian food I've ever had. Ive been to several Italian restaurants and this one surpasses them all. The customer service is remarkable. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. This is now my favorite one.
