DePalmas Italian Cafe - Westside - Athens (GA)

4 /5 Gregory Smith: We had my mothers 90th birthday party here. No separate private rooms available, but we had two long tables set up and that worked well. We had only one server assigned to us but he was absolutely wonderful. Very organized, attentive and made the whole dinner quite enjoyable. Food was excellent. Plenty of parking in the adjacent lot.

1 /5 Melissa Crouch: I ordered a full lasagna for a birthday party and it was completely dry. When I was picking up he told me there was a cup of sauce for the lasagna, I thought that was great I would have a little extra sauce. Unfortunately that was the only sauce. The salad, pizza and stuffed bread sticks were amazing. Please make sure to ask about the lasagna in your Togo orders. This was at Timothy Road location. Want to add, please train your hostess... my daughter and I were walking with full pans if lasagna, salad, breads ticks and large pizza, and she sat on her phone not offering at all to open the doors. I was so disappointed

2 /5 Ryan Poole: I got some penne pasta and it was probably the worst pasta I have ever eaten. There was water in the bottom of my plate and the pasta was overcooked on top of that. It was a very measley portion as well. One of my family members got the Eggplant Florentine, and they said that it had way too much tomato flavor. Another family member got fettuccine alfredo and they said there was way too much pepper. However, the atmosphere was great, but the service was pretty bad. Our food took pretty long to get. Overall, DePalmas was very subpar.

1 /5 morgan tringali: The restaurant was gorgeous, and our server was initially very nice. This would soon change. The food was incredibly disappointing, with the tortelloni having very little filling and being quite undercooked. Their pesto was 50% unincorporated oil (this is not an exaggeration.) The meat sauce was acidic, bland, and overly salty. Maybe their other dishes are better, but would not recommend either of these. NOT worth $30. I brought up the concerns about the food to the waiter and asked for it to be passed on to the chef, and in response our server was extremely rude and dismissive. She told us "thats just how we make it" and dismissed our poor experience. She was incredibly disrespectful and cut us off mid sentence, saying rudly "Ill just bring your check then." I was confused and surprised by this reaction, see she was initially incredibly nice. Turns out the service is not good, inattentive, and rude. I have never had a server respond this way when Ive brought up issues with the food. Quite telling about the overall quality of service. This was a terrible experience in regards to food and service. DO NOT GO HERE.
