Romanians descend from Roman colonists from all over the Empire and they generally score more "Italian" in genetic tests than South Slavs do.

Vlachs is the common name of several separate Romance peoples, derived from the Romanized population of Southeastern, Central and Eastern Europe. The origin of the Vlachs is controversial, as is the hypothesis that all Wallachian groups have a common root. Vlachs are often assimilated into the communities in which they live or move from one community to another. Romanian culture was subjected to assimilation pressure by the Slavs and later by the Hungarians and Germans (mainly in Transylvania). In the 19th century, the influence of Western Europe, especially France, increased. Aromanian culture was strongly influenced by Byzantium and Greece. In a wide Balkan area during the Middle Ages, "Vlachs" meant a pastoral population practicing seasonal cattle breeding, regardless of their ethnicity.

Current tests do not even test for ancestry over 300 years, the "Italian* does not mean anything but non-specific Anatolian or Anatolian-Beaker admix.

I score over 10% Iberian and I don't have a Spanish ancestor.

And what makes you think that? The percentage is highly varying and opposed to other companies, 23andme literally does state they don't offer concrete info for >300 years ancestry.

23andme does not assigns things which don't exist. With who did you test?
Ofcourse Romanians have Roman ancestry.
