Reviews for DePalma's Italian Cafe - Westside in Athens, GA
The Pizza had way too much crust on it for the premium price of a pizza. The cheese only pizza did not have tomato sauce but... rather diced tomatoes and cheese. Very disappointing. The mixed green salad could be upgraded to include more than just saladand 5 cherry tomatoes. Shred some carrots and green peppers? Ingredients in the meat pizza were tasty. Read more
The bathroom is disgusting which makes me worry how clean the kitchen is. Food is bland, my shrimp was unseasoned and cooked... black and hard. The waitress replaced it but w only four.. the guy w the glasses at the bar is great tho. But for the price thefood should have more flavor. Read more
Food was flavorless and overpriced. Older male manager was incredibly rude when our table had problems with our food. The... restaurant also doesn?t look like it has been deep cleaned in years. There is dust and cobwebs near host area and wall with winebottles. Our entire table agreed that Olive Garden would?ve been better. Don?t waste your money. Read more
I ordered a whiskey and coke and it cost $8. The price is average but the size was really small. Check out the picture. The food... looked delicious. But unfortunately, it was somewhat bland. I wouldn't recommend. Read more

We had the best birthday/Mother's day dinner at this local institution! Amazing service during the busy weekend & delightful... food. We just love DePalma's! Read more
I feel a bit guilty for rating 3 stars because nearly every visit before this one, I had a good experience with dining in.... However, this was the first time that I ordered to-go and my first time having it since the pandemic started. I?m not sure Iwill ever order for pick-up again. If I was rating the taste of the food alone, DePalma?s would always get five stars, handsdown. I?ve had consistently delicious meals here, from the lasagna to the Pasta DePalma to the insalata cecilia / shrimp&scallopsalad (always get the citrus jalapeño dressing) to the pizza to the shrimp primavera to all the desserts. This particularinstance, my family ordered seven meals, a combo of sausage and spinach Pasta DePalma, a lasagna, and a shrimp primavera, aswell as some dipping bread. We ordered around 6:30pm and was told it would be about 45 minutes. No problem. When my husband wentin to pick it up, he noted there was a long line. Again, no problem. We know DePalmas is really popular. When he got up to theregister and told the cashier his name for pickup, he was rudely told that his order was on a different register, that theycouldn?t ring him up there, and to step aside for the next customer. He then got ignored for another 20 minutes. When theyfinally remembered him and our food, there was no acknowledgement and no apology. Hubby, bless him, still gave a nice tip, butwas not happy about the attitude, the lack of consideration, or the experience. I was unhappy with a couple of the portions ofthe sausage Pasta DePalma. It seemed so much smaller than what I?m used to seeing when we would dine-in. There was a differencein the size of multiples of the same dish that we ordered. My shrimp primavera was perfect. So my rating is a three whenconsidering the delicious food, the bad customer service experience, and the weird portions. Read more
I got fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. The sauce was watery and flavorless, the peas were hard and the shrimp had a super weird... texture like it was thawed more than once. The Caesar salad and the dressing was really good, but the pasta definitely needssome work, especially for the price. Read more
