La Piazza Italian Restaurant

The bread itself was actually pretty good, but the oil it was served with was bland and overly oily. The dried herbs didn’t add much flavor. Honestly, the bread stood out better on its own.

The use of jarred garlic felt like a shortcut that really affected the flavor of a few dishes. Fresh garlic would make a big difference.

The pasta seemed to be dried, which was a little disappointing. Fresh pasta would completely change the quality of the meal. I’d even love to come in and make some for them if they’d be open to it!

The pizza with Alfredo sauce was also a bit underwhelming. The sauce was bland, and the crust seemed to be pre-made. Fresh or even thaw-and-proof dough would elevate it a lot. Same goes for the fried mushrooms. They tasted like they came from a bag rather than being freshly battered and fried.

The atmosphere itself feels a little dated, but the chairs and seating were comfortable and look nice.

Overall, there’s potential here, a few simple changes with fresher ingredients and more house-made touches could really take this place to the next level.

Food is bad. With all respect, Alfredo sauce should not mimic the viscosity of milk. The bread is enveloped in salt. The meal I had contained cheese, every cheese has its flavor yet this was flavorless. There was a chicken up charge of 3.99 and the chicken I received resembled the chicken chunks that come in a can... if I receive an up-charge at least let it be fresh chicken - seasoned. The waitress was nice and accommodating.

What a wonderful dining experience. This is an authentic family owned business. Their dedication is apparent from the fresh ingredients in the food to the lovely artwork in the restaurant.

The food here is great! Great staff as well. Although the bathrooms upstairs do not have locks on the doors, bring a door guard with you. Also had to jump away from 2 waterbugs in the bathroom.

I’m sorry, but this place was dirty. There were two dead/dying roaches outside the front door and the floor under our table was absolutely filthy. The food was not bad, but I won’t be coming again. I hope they turn it around and have success in the future.

We go too El Dorado just to be able too eat here

How can I come eat here when they can’t even get the name of the restaurant correct? It’s supposed to be Ristorante Italiano. Not Italiano Ristorante.

This is a great family-owned restaurant. The bread and oil is one of the best appetizers in El Dorado. The Chicken and Shrimp Siciliano is amazing. The staff is very nice and attentive and the environment is perfect for a nice dinner.

Not bad for an Italian Restaurant in a small town.I love Italian. Wanted veal parmesan, they were out. Settled for eggplant parmesan. Found out I do not like egg plant. The sauce and the portion size were excellent. It came with a pasta side. It was delightful. The wine was excellent. Service was attentive.Highly recommended if you pick the time and days they are open. We went at night.
