This is my go to Italian restaurant. The garlic rolls here have ruined me as they are just amazing. The salad is a nice chopped salad with cheese, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, mushrooms, beets (not for me!), onions, and oregano that are served with a nice bathing of oil & vinegar. You can get refills on the bread and salad if you desire. For the main course, I had the chicken franchese. The lemon butter sauce is amazing. It comes with a side of spaghetti and meat sauce, but you can opt for fettuccine alfredo (I think it goes better with the lemon butter sauce). The atmosphere is comfortable like being at an Italian grandmother's house. They play the classical music from the 50s and 60s as a nice backdrop in the ambiance. The mood is casual but it can also be a good place for a group or even for an intimate romantic dinner. Service here is always amazing. read more

We've been eating here for years and have always had a great experience. Food is always perfect and staff is always helpful and friendly.

we went to Provino's a few weeks ago for the first time. We thought it was fabulous! Everything about it!... We went to Provino's for a second time and this is the reason I'm writing the review. The rolls they serve IN garlic butter ARE SO Fabulous You really could eat them all day! But the chicken marsala I ordered at lunch, though very delicious, was a very small portion. That disappointed me. Then the spaghetti they served alongside in a bowl was watery and mushy. Way overcooked!!! I ate it but I did not enjoy it. If it hadn't been for the rolls, I would have left hungry. I don't think we'll be going back and that's sad. Because moving to north west Georgia five years ago, it's been hard to find a great Italian restaurant.-- read more

We were first sat in a booth. After my son and I both began smelling urine, I stood up and realized there was some in the crease of the booth seat (along with crumbs and food that hadn't been cleaned between patrons). Quickly called the waitress and quietly told her - she got the manager. He took us to another table while apologizing. I ordered a sausage dish that mentioned nothing about having hot pepper in it - an allergen to me. It didn't mention being "hot" at all. I immediately got sick and couldn't eat it. Called the waitress over, she then called the manager over. He began making excuses about how the first batch is this or that. He offered to make something else but at this point we had been there 2 hours waiting on food, so I declined. Zero compensation for sitting in urine, nothing. On top of that, my kids (adult kids) said their food was not good. read more

Waiter would not let my child order from the kids menu though she met the age requirement. Tea was mediocre, but the food was good.

We came from over an hour away just to eat here and it did not disappoint! Very good meal today! I'll start with walking through the parking lot. The building looks to be dated and in need of some upkeep. That being said, the inside is beautiful! The decor is nicely done and it seemed to be very clean. The smell coming from the kitchen was incredibly pleasant like grandma was in there whipping up some Italian delicacies! The lunch service wasn't very crowded and we were seated immediately. Some of the old pictures were quite worn and looked to be sun bleached. I'd probably replace some of that. The faux wood blinds were warped I guess from the time spent in the sun. Our server was very friendly and inviting. We ordered drinks and were brought out quickly. We never had to ask for refills as she stayed on top of keeping us hydrated! The menu looked good and had some great choices! My wife has celiacs disease so she can't have gluten, and to our delight they even have a gluten free menu! Very happy to see that! I was a little disappointed that they didn't offer a lunch menu on Saturday, but we found a lot of things we were excited about. The prices feel high, but when you eat anywhere else they're not far off. Our server brought us some really good rolls that had real minced garlic on them. They were buttered, maybe a little too much. If you like butter, get the ones in the bottom of the bowl! They were really good. We ordered our food and it didn't take long to make its way to our table. Maybe 20 minutes or so. Before our food was brought to us we had the most amazing salad that rivals anything Olive Garden puts out! It had beautiful vegetables and a fantastic Italian dressing! My wife had the Diablo shrimp and pasta from the gluten free menu and she was very happy with her choice! I had to go with the chicken Parmesan. I know, a basic Italian dish, but I wanted to try it. I'm so glad I did! It was very well done! Not too much pasta. The sauce was done just to my taste, not watery. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a crunchy crust and tender chicken. The other 3 in my party had meat lasagna, vegetable lasagna, and the veal. No one had a complaint! Maybe that we needed a nap afterwards! I appreciate the server being very attentive, the food was well prepared and cooked, the restaurant was clean, and the hour drive was worth it. We will definitely make another trip back and it will be my pleasure to try another tasty dish from this fine Italian restaurant! Thank you! read more

Love the salad and rolls. Food is pretty good. I always get the lasagna, and the melted cheese covering the top is perfection. My husband enjoys the chicken and broccoli Alfredo. Prices are a little high, but overall we enjoy the experience. read more

Awful service, would've loved to tried the food but they prefer to provide service to everyone who arrived after our party. Didn't ask us what we wanted to drink or any sides. Basically forgot about us and sat us in a room with a birthday party with a bunch of children running around. read more

Got food poisoning from the food. Called about wanting a refund after being sick for at least a few hours. The female manager for the evening of 6/22 was incredibly rude and condescending about providing a refund. Kept on hold for nearly 10 mins. Will not return. read more

The family and I always enjoy the food. we come for Birthdays and special events. There family takeout orders are very generous portions.

Everything was perfect great service, the food was great! I can't wait to come back. Best Alfredo I ever had. read more

We just love Provino and try to go once a week for lunch menu. Service always excellent

This is a family favorite. They never dissapoint. The food is always hot and fresh. The service is always pleasant. This time was no different. We ordered eggplant parmesan with meat sauce. It is basically made like lasagna just with eggplant. read more

You know what? Going 5 stars for Provino's. It's obviously going to the be same quality as certain higher end restaurants around downtown, but it's not priced to be. It's like a red sauce Italian restaurant on the side of Shorter Ave. The people are awesome - super nice. And the food is always really good. The (free) garlic yeast rolls always come hot out of the oven and are really good. You get a hand tossed salad that's really good with any entrée. House wines are cheap and pretty good. And the decor is kind of nice. I think if you're picking between here and like an olive garden, I would pick this one every time. read more

I went in my Birthday . I was told on that day you will receive a free meal. I told the waitress it was my Birthday. She gave me the menu. Took my order. Brought me the check! I said, my Birthday is today. She said you have to order a certain meal. I asked why didn't you tell me? She said, I took off one item. I asked do I get a free desert She then brought me a cookie and one scoop of ice cream. I shared I was a first time customer. The food was very greasy. She said noting I paid the bill, tipped her and never will I ever return! read more

Everything was fabulous! Will definitely be returning. Great food, great service and ambiance.

waitress was wonderful, Food was delicious,we love to go as often as we can.One of the best restaurants in town . love going on birthdays!

Excellent place for groups! Love the atmosphere and the food is prepared well. Heartily recommend when on Rome!

My first time eating at Provino's. Food was very good. The marinara sauce is fresh and flavorful. I ordered the fried zucchini, meat lasagna and limoncello cake. My food was piping hot just like I like it. The rolls coated in garlic are for garlic lovers. So good! Big portions. The salad dressing is very good. The atmosphere is pleasant. I like the mix of music playing. My server Austin was fantastic! He is new but is the epitome of customer service. I will be asking for him as my server next time on a Sunday. A great 1st time experience. read more

The atmosphere is great - love the private booths - and the food is yummy. Only giving it three stars because last night we ordered the veggie lasagna and the eggplant vegetale. We got the lasagna, but the kitchen brought out an eggplant parmesan instead of the vegetale. No big deal - it looked yummy, and we're both pretty easy-going, so we decided to keep it. Was a bit turned off when the waitress came over and blamed the kitchen for the screw-up and offered to "fix" the problem either by bringing out a side dish of grilled veggies or having the kitchen prepare the correct order for us then. By the time the correct dish came out, the lasagna would have been cold. Was a bit surprised that the incorrect dish was not taken off the bill. (Logged in about a year later to say I've been back a few times and have had only terrific service since.) read more

One of my favorite places to visit in Rome! Great food, friendly service, and generous portions. We always have leftovers to take home and enjoy the next day. The calamari is my favorite, I always request a side of alfredo sauce to dip it in and it's delicious!! 10/10! read more

I hate the garlic and oil filled rolls. Just not a fan of their food! Pricey to boot.

Don't know what I haven't gotten a review posted before, since I've visited before. But better late than never, right? We visited about 2 in the afternoon for lunch - perfect time to go when it isn't busy. Waitress was super friendly and attentive, bringing multiple drink refills and a second serving of the yummy garlic rolls. I'm a huge fan. I love the rolls and the veal francese. I get it every time. It is a plate of super tender lemony goodness. I always get it served over a side of plain pasta, and the sauce on the veal coats all the noodles and is perfection. My husband is harder to please and not such a fan. He's tried a number of different dishes and finds them OK, but nothing to rave about it. This time he tried the eggplant parmesan and didn't have any complaints about it. He's not a big fan of the rolls. He'd love french bread with butter, but nowhere serves that. Since we always go for birthdays, I can say the spumoni ice cream is yummy, too. Perfect way to end a celebratory meal :) read more

Go on your birthday. Not the day before or the day after. The day of and take your driver license to prove it. But a free meal is well worth it. This is one of the top-two Italian places for common folk in town. I recommend the rolls and the manicotti. read more

Always enjoy our dinners here. Used to come here when my kid was in school at SU. First time back in about 4 years. Just as good as I remember! read more

Best Italian in Rome. Always a treat to eat here. The salad is amazing which just gets you warmed up to a always great entree.

We don't eat Italian food anymore unless it comes from Provino's. The Rome, Georgia location is second to none in all facets, including service, ambiance, and of course, taste. Hands down the best tomato sauce out there! read more

Basic old world Italian experience and food. Not crowded and good service. Large portions.

Called ahead and ordered the family size spaghetti meal to go . I ordered the 4 person one and it was delish!!! We have ordered these multiple times and never have had a bad experience. The large salad , the delish garlic rolls and the noodles and meat sauce couldn't be beat. Thank you for a wonderful meal for my family. read more

Food was excellent!, would recommend this restaurant for great Italian food. Service is okay, server seemed new and probably could use some more training read more

Overpriced crap Italian food that has no flavor! I can cook better than them! Food was so bland! Go elsewhere! Do not get suckered into this place! read more

I just came from pensacola,FL to visit my GF's Aunt. She took us here and I tell ya, it is probably one of the best Italian spots I've been too! The chicken parmigiana was cooked and prep well. I highly recommend this place if you like Italian food and the prices are cheap in my opinion read more

We started with the sampler and it was very good!! The salad and fresh bread was a good compliment to the appetizer. We had the chicken and sausage penne, chicken parmigiana and the chicken regiano...all of our entrees were amazing! I would've given them a 5 starts rating but our server wasn't very attentive. read more

I plan to come back on my birthday! The soup was alright, but the rolls were out of this world! And the salad! If you like salad, you HAVE to come try this place. The dressing on it is incredible. The Chicken Parm here is also very good--there's a delicious cheese on top. read more

Provino's Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Rome, Georgia

We eat here yearly (birthday meal). It's good food but too small of a portion for my crew (no fault to the restaurant) . Manicotti is the best meal and cheesecake is the best desert read more

I can't give a fair review because I know very well Italian food and it was neither good, nor Italian. Only the dishes names were Italian

My favorite Italian restaurant. I've never been disappointed. Great service and atmosphere

This place is really good. The service was great, the salad and rolls are tasty, and it was a great place to celebrate a birthday. We will be back! read more

I realized my actual age when I searched for restaurants outside my local workplace, and I am out of town in a small town. I searched a bit further and found Provino's! I may be a little bit older but I've grown up in restaurants etc.. I ate at the original Provinos back in the early 80s as well as Scalini's and then they went to a chain restaurant. I was not impressed. When I found the restaurant in Rome Ga I was so excited!! Would it even be close to the original? When I lived in Atlanta ? I frequented both restaurants so many times I knew the menu and I'm glad to say it's the same because it's great! I truly hate that I had to get it to go but tasted all my favorites as soon as I got back in my vehicle and they were as I remembered! Because I am "older" I recognized who I thought would be the manager/expediter/owner! I realized they were busy and didn't want to bother him with my diatribe but he was extremely friendly and we talked about the old days actually back in the early to mid-80s. As your attorney "I'm not actually an attorney "I would advise you to go there for Italian fare should you be close!!! This is the current menu as well as prices and I got out of there with entrée appetizer salad and rolls for $22, get the heck out of here!! The prices are correct on the menu but I realized some items were not listed! read more
