What People Are Saying About The Roasted Garlic

In Short – The Roasted Garlic's warm, bustling atmosphere oozes a homespun sincerity that other Italian chains tend to lack. This neighborhood restaurant may not win any haute cuisine awards, but its extravagant ingredients and Hulk Hogan-sized portions are perfect for the doggie-bag set. Don't miss the signature caibatta bread or the spanikopita.

This restaurant is now closed. The former Italian-Greek owners now own the Sugo restaurants. There are 3 Atlanta locations: Historic Roswell, North Roswell, and Duluth.

Avoid this restaurant
by lindaedlyle at Citysearch
There wre four of us and our meals were horrible. The waiter was a "low talker" and we could not understand him. Also the two wines we ordered were not available. The prices are too expensive - we even had to pay for bread. The portions were fine, but the taste was terrible. I would rather have smaller portions with good taste. Several of us had been there some time ago and remembered it being good, but we will not be returning. It was Saturday night and only two tables were filled which should have given us a clue when we walked in. We will not be returning to Roasted Garlic.
- Pros: Good parking
- Cons: Food taste horrible. Waiter not properly trained and whispered.

Worst experience ever
by darthdiane at Citysearch
This was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The server got our order wrong, didn't notify us of menu items not being available until after we placed the order, brought out burnt appetizers, brought the entrees in batches instead of all together, and the management didn't even handle the situation properly. She never let us know she was the manager, even though she had brought us our entrees after the appetizer problem. The tomato sauce on the "John's Pork" tasted like canned diced tomatoes mixed with sugar. The "Masseri Chicken" had an interesting fig pesto, but the chicken and ravioli was as bland as water. When we sent the pork back, the manager had the nerve to roll her eyes at us! We were never rude to her or the server in any way. Then they brought us a lousy ugly piece of cheesecake (Sara Lee would have been better) when we had made it clear we just wanted to leave. At the end of the ordeal they still tried to charge us for an appetizer we never ordered! The only positive to this experience was the singer that was hired for the night. His Sinatra style singing was excellent. All in all, stay away from The Roasted Garlic. I recommend any other kind of Italian restaurant over this place (anything has to be better than this place was). As far as the Greek portion of the menu, it's non-existent. Burnt spanikopita doesn't count.
