  First, I am laughing that another reviewer listed this place as having "the best salad bar in Georgia."  He must not get out much is all I can think.  The salad bar here is on par with a Shoney's but with fewer items.  The salad dressings are all "full fat" with the healthiest one being the French and the top 2 inches in the bowl looked like straight oil.  The items are fresh, but nothing to write home about.  The service here was attentive but the reason I will not be back is the price.  We asked about the child's portion of spaghetti and was told that it was large.  Our child didn't want any sauce on her meal so we were offered mozzarella cheese which I thought was very nice.  The cheese garlic bread was good but it is just texas toast with melted mozzarella cheese on it.  Average but good.  My mother ordered a $9 Greek Salad which was quite small for the price.  Our other child ordered the mozzarella cheese sticks which were $4.50 for only 4 of them.  Finally the plate of spaghetti arrived and it was TINY.  I am not one for huge portions, but when you charge $6 for 1 cup of spaghetti (seriously, the amount was the equivalent to 1 cup portion) and then add an additional $1.35 for the mozzarella cheese which was offered when we ordered but was never mentioned would be an extra charge, well, I was amazed and disappointed.  Our bill for 2 adults and 2 kids was $42 plus tip. I could have gone to a more upscale restaurant (Maggiano's) and paid the same amount of money AND come home with enough food for another meal.  I can't believe with these prices that this restaurant continues to survive in such a small town.  Also, we were there for lunch and there were NO lunch specials.  Again, the food quality was good but the value is horribly off.  Disappointing and sorry, we won't be back.

  I'm laughing a bit because I didn't know that Little Rome was in Georgia until I sat down to write the review.  We came here after dark this past Sunday, after being soaked on a rafting tour in TN, and came to the first food spot we could find.  Fortunately we found Little Rome
  
  Little Rome has a very nice staff.  The waitress came around, sat down at our table and really joked with us while taking our orders.  Definitely made it seem as if we were in her home, not a restaurant.
  
  I ordered the Beef ravioli, adult size, which comes in a pretty nice sized bowl, filled with six pieces of ravioli, great meat sauce, and a couple slices of garlic toast, for about $10.  Wasn't the prettiest nor the tastiest, but it was dang tasty, filling and good!

  I was in the area for a business trip, and we visited Little Rome as one of our lunches. I was strongly advised to order a child's size, and sure glad I did. I wouldn't have been able to finish the regular portion. My stuffed shells with meat sauce came to the table steaming hot! Cleaned it all of the plate, though. It's regular Italian food in a casual setting with local friendly service.

  I was traveling for work and this place was suggested by the locals... It was decent for an Italian place in the middle of a small town in Northern GA.  
  
  I had the lasagna and it was good.  I went with the child size since everyone else at the table was and it was a decent lunch size.  I also got the salad bar and that was also pretty decent.  
  
  It was a good lunch and I would go back for it if I am in town again.
