"The side salad left much to be desired as well; it included just a few tiny pieces of lettuce, oversized chunks of tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and a slice of pepper. When I walked in, I noticed that there were children and babies everywhere—walking around, playing with toys, and using baby walkers—which isn’t the most pleasant sight for a lunch or dinner setting. While I understand that families may not have access to babysitters, it can be distracting for other diners. My order was ready quickly, which suggests that everything was likely pre-made and just heated up. I’m baffled as to why I only received one of the three entrees I paid for. Both the waiter and waitress acknowledged my order for the pasta sampler, but it certainly didn’t live up to its name. However, the manicotti was okay—not great, but not terrible either. This place can definitely do better. I’m unlikely to return."

This is by far the best Italian restaurant around! EVERYTHING is homemade daily and you can surely taste the difference!

My boyfriend and I stopped by while driving back to Houston, and we were really impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, and the dessert was exceptional! While the decor could use some improvement, the restaurant is under new ownership. The new owner is fantastic—she has great ideas and plans to transform the place. She has already updated the menu, and it's definitely worth a visit!

Worth the drive from Brenham. Personally I'm glad the atmosphere is modest because it made me feel comfortable to bring in my four kids. We were looking for family friendly Italian food and we found it!!! The food was excellent. Baked ziti, lasagna, spaghetti, chicken parmesan, alfredo, were all excellent. Our service was personal and fast. Very glad we took the chance and made the drive we will be back.

We've visited this restaurant several times and sampled a variety of entrees. I did have to explain to them how to properly pack the takeout orders, as the entrees spilled into the bag on our first few visits. The food is consistently of good quality. Since there are limited sit-down dining options in Giddings that aren't Mexican, this place offers a nice alternative. We highly recommend the Cannelloni from the Genova menu. View menu

I was craving Italian food, so I ordered takeout, and it was delicious. Later, while shopping with my husband, we decided to eat in, and I got the Genova dish, which was absolutely amazing—I can't even find the words to describe how good it was. Even my husband, who doesn't usually like Italian food, loved his meal. Now I can't stop thinking about Romas! I'm planning to order takeout again today! I also think the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. And by the way, the bread is incredibly tasty!

We started with freshly baked pretzels as an appetizer, but I was disappointed to find they were not fully baked. On my previous visit, I had the Shrimp Alfredo and enjoyed it, so I wanted to try something new this time and ordered the cheese-stuffed ravioli. The portion was decent, and the taste was good. However, I found it quite off-putting that the waitress brought her three-year-old child with her, who was bussing tables. She also interrupted our conversation multiple times, which became increasingly frustrating. Overall, I wasn't impressed.

"Being able to reccomend their sides desserts should tell you everything you need to know of our experience there. The pinto beans and the buttermilk pie were excellent, everything else was anywhere from poor to middlin' at best. Perhaps they just were having a bad day minding the pit?Orders were for a beef rib and 3 pork spareribs with potato salad and pinto bean sides, and the sliced brisket with mac cheese and pinto beans, as well as a slice of buttermilk pie to share.The beef rib was chewy and stringy but did have decently smoked flavor, the pork ribs were roughly the same, neither fell off the bone nor had a decent clean bite when eating. The sliced brisket (ordered marbled) was the best of the proteins, but even at that seemed average as far a juiciness and flavor. Overall the proteins in our opinion ranked 1.5/5 starsThe mac cheese apparently is made with American cheese powder to judge by the color of the sauce, and it appears the potato salad is bulk deli purchased. The pinto beans were wonderful and the butermilk pie was very tasty. On balance they earned 3.5/5 stars.Portions were fair and prices were decent as value for the money goes, but overall we felt for the total cost of just over $64 for lunch for 2 that we would have eaten better had we just gone to a chain retaurant such as Dickey's or Famous Dave's. Value-wise maybe 1/5 starsService was quick and friendly (5/5 stars) and we enjoyed the atmosphere overall(4/5 stars) so we will probably give them another try someday, in hopes that the meal quality being off on this visit was an outlier."
