42 Best Italian Restaurants near Dallas

“The Pasta alla Tovalo is an awesome night out. The service is excellent and everything we've ever ordered has been phenomenal. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“My mom is a resident of The Meadows nursing care facility across the street from Leggio's and when my brother and his family came up from Bethlehem PA to visit, I thought this would be the perfect place to have lunch together. Lori, the owner of Leggio's was so kind and figured out how to accommodate my wheelchair bound mom. There was a big party coming in for an event but no one rushed us and our server Kim was absolutely wonderful. These people made our visit so great. Kind gestures like theirs matter and I appreciate them so much. The food was really delicious too.“

“My family enjoyed everything we ordered (Sicilian & Taco pizza and wings ). Thank you for delivering!“

“Live music weekly, delicious food and drinks in a very pleasant atmosphere. A must visit.“

“We ate there for the first time , the atmosphere and staff where great.Quick service food was great will be back again soon.“

“My son kept telling me he wanted us to try this restaurant as he lives in the area and he goes there often. It was a hike for us, but we decided to go try it out. There were 6 of us there, and everyone enjoyed their food, but I will speak to what we ordered. My son insisted we try the pizza as an appetizer. I am not really into pizza when I go out to a restaurant, so I was hesitant. When it came out, it was huge. I loved that it was very crisp on the bottom and it was not overloaded with sauce. It didn't have the typical cheese that slides off the pizza when you order it. The owner, Chris, came to check on us to see how we liked it. I thought it was fantastic, but there are a limited number made during the evening so I think you have to get there early. My daughter and I shared the bang bang cauliflower and that was very tasty. There was a lot of it so we ended up taking some of that home. The other appetizer we had were the soul scallops. We all thought this was an amazing appetizer and I loved the combination with the cornbread. We each had a salad before dinner and I personally like the spring mix with tomatoes. It wasn't an overly large salad, but it was a salad was what is was supposed to be: a precursor to dinner. With the portion sizes of the appetizers and the food, we actually ended up taking some of the salad home. My son got the Italian Chicken and Waffles, which was huge. I was give a taste of that and while it was a combination that I did not think would work, it was very good and a creative recipe. My husband had the Surf and Turf Fricassee and he is still talking about that almost a week later. It was a very nice dish and his steak came out the way he asked. He is frequently disappointed when he goes out to eat in other restaurants and is disappointed by how often the steak is overcooked. I had the Alfredo Bay, which again, was a large portion that I ended up taking home and finishing the next day. I was worried that it was going to be a bit too spicy with the Old Bay, but I liked the combination of ingredients so I thought I would give it a try. You can taste the kick, but it wasn't overwhelming thankfully. When talking to the owner, he said that the only dessert they were out of was the Tiramisu (which is one of my favorite desserts). His mom personally makes it so it tends to sell out. Chris.....tell your mother to make more (just kidding). The staff that we interacted with were very personable and friendly. While this was a little over an hour from home, we will definitely be back the next time we are visiting our son!“

“One of our favorite Italian restaurants. The specials are always a must-try, however their homemade manicotti and their chicken Parmesan are two of our favorite picks. Service is always top notch and friendly and the atmosphere is filled with Italian decor and music. It’s really such a great place to have a nice dinner with reasonable pricing and a family atmosphere. Alissa is always smiling and happy to see you.“

“Our 1st visit was today. OMG!! highly recommended. Pizza variety & crust was amazing, burger was great! Desserts were OMG excellent! We will definitely be going back soon! 😋“

“Saturday 2/8/2025 , wife and i had the pork special , it was outstanding , waitress was outstandind also , i believe it was abby“

“Just tried the food for the first time since we now live very close to the restaurant. We ordered a variety to try. Wings, veggie Pizza, Sicilian pizza and an Italian Stromboli. Everything was fantastic!! I placed my order online which was very quick and easy and the order was ready on time and exactly as I ordered it. This will now be one of our go to places to eat.“

“I had dinner there with friends and everything was super. The food was delicious, and the service was even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great meal and very good waitress and bartender.“

“My family and I had some friend over Saturday evening and wanted to keep it simple with pizza. Our order was a plain, pepperoni and a grandma. As usual every pie was so fresh and delicious. My favorite will always be the grandma, just the right amount of pesto oil, thin and crispy. While I forget his name, the tall gentleman with glasses, who I assume is the manager, is always so polite and keeps things moving behind the counter. Dino’s will always be a pizza that I enjoy and highly recommend!!!!“

“Very close tables nex to each other. Be careful, salad was included with the meal, but we were charged for each salad that we did Not order. Then, a fiasco to try to have it removed from the bill. Will Never, go back. Beware, check your bill.“

“Illiano's is by far the best restaurant in the valley. There's something for everyone on the menu. Order the sicilian marinara pizza...thick crust, fresh tomatoes, garlic and plenty of cheese. If you're not happy, it's on you. It's definitely not the food“

“Marty's has great pizza and wings. I also really like their farmers cheese pierogies, smothered in onions and butter 🧈 😋“

“We come here as much as possible. There isn't anything that we have ordered that we didn't love. I love date nights here and the food is out of this world.“

“Tried for the first time since moving to area, and kitchen is not set up completely at home. ordered Chicken francaise for 6 value, I was not disappointed. Was it mine? No. Was it big chain? NO. Very pleased with this Sunday dinner. Mozzarella sticks, garlic broccoli, and Bread! and oh, the fettuccine side I ordered will definitely be ordered again. Greeter was wonderful and told me, next time call in the order rather than through 3rd party, saves BUNCHES of money :)“

“Perugino’s was terrific. We hadn’t been there in a long time and we will certainly go back. The food was delicious with generous portions. The service and staff was great.“

“Please accept me as a friend on Facebook. I want your daily info. I have a new page.“

“This is the second time it was dried out. No taste. And the bottled garlic that they are using was so over powering it for Ed it down. And I asked for a little more sauce. When it came. It was all dried. Like it was sitting g under the heat lamp a long time. This is the second time. And it had no taste. Twice . And the prices have gone sky high for. Pasta. 17 for a lousy dish of clams in sauce that had no taste. I’m very sorry we loved co I g here for years. But the food is. O share what it is. Most likely there is no one watching how this is prepared“

“Today was a good day we had a good time . The food was good the service was ok but she should have offered up the olive garden experience on a special birthday visit. No suggestions for drinks no suggestions on appetizers, no pre bus but food was good company was better and all was great.“

“I grew up on Main Street in Old Forge and the Pizza here tastes like it’s from Main Street in Old Forge. Outstanding job!“

“We love Lino’s! From dinners to pizza to special salad and hosting our family’s special occasions, it’s a long-time favorite. Always well done!“

“Getting hoagies from III Guys is CONSISTENTLY hit or miss. Now it's constantly a *miss* so we're done spending money here. I got a turkey hoagie today and there was barely anything on it! 😠 A regular sandwich is thicker! Two slices of turkey, a tiny bit of lettuce, some onions and a couple tomato slices! Oh and it was DRY! We paid for mostly BREAD! Feels awesome to be shafted for what you paid for. I had to put my own Mayo on it, add lettuce and add tomato to fill it! That's NOT the point of take out. Food quality is going DOWN last few years. ((See comments for pics of this sad hoagie)) We're done giving them the benefit of the doubt. The other hoagie we bought was also lacking & dry. Plenty of other good quality restaurants to choose from than wasting money on food that clearly quality isn't a priority. ~Signed Another Unhappy customer“

“I’ve worked in their kitchen, it’s one of the cleanest in the valley. Had their food today it was very good!“

“It's my second time picking up pizza from Octagon and both times it was delicious and very inexpensive. Second pizza was half pepperoni and half bacon for all of $13. The only negative thing I can think of is the bacon wasn't well done but then I didn't ask for well done bacon, next time I will and I'll update this when I do.“

“I had a fabulous experience! My first time here and I’ll definitely be back! The food was excellent, the dirty martini was top notch, and the service was perfect. Ask for Connie to be your waitress-she rocks!“

“The best pizza ever! It was delicious!!First time here and we had a terrific time! Expresso Martini and all the specialty beers were out of this world!• Atmosphere rustic and inviting! This place was recommended to us and was very thankful because we had a terrific experience!“

“Hands down the best and most popular resturant in NEPA. This place is always jammed packed, even on holidays. Wait staff, and management really take care of their customers. I reccomend the ceaser salad and hanger steak. The creme brulee is the best and highly sought after. You are never dissapointed here- even the kitchen staff will come out and check on you. A+++“

“The buns must have come right out of the oven when I placed my order for my primo sized American cold cut hoagie with lettuce, tomato,onion, and oil and vinegar. It was made with the bun being very warm and that it ruined the whole taste of my hoagie. It melted the cheese to a soggy texture like when a hoagie sits outside on a hot day. A cold cut doesn't mean warm bun. And I didn't ask for a baked hoagie. I was going to take it back in, but I was so pressed for time. But I just took it apart and ate what I liked or what tasted ok. When I did a review on my Primo app, they asked for the ticket number. I'm going to check my truck it might be in there. I believe it was last Monday evening, 7pm. I am not from the area, but I used to stop at the previous location on Rt 309 a lot it was convenient.“

“Great service awesome food!definitely will be back !!“

“Absolutely love going to cork! It’s a fantastic place for a date night, girls night or anything in between. The staff is always attentive and friendly. I have several other friends that make it a point to go there weekly and they always leave well fed and happy with their service from staff. You won’t regret adding cork to your list of places to visit!“

“Awesome food and great service even on the delivery side. Did amazing job. Food is so good to.“

“First off im from Linden NJ I’ve been trying to find a good pizza place for so long that reminds of me of home Pizza Bella are the real OGs currently eating pepperoni pizza and a extra cheese with bacon pizza it’s so good thank you Pizza Bella and the older gentleman that delivers super nice respectful super chill thank you as well dude 🤘🏻🙏🏻🛹💜“

“Very accommodating, big portions, upfront about availability, friendly service, even though I went there before the evening rush, I didn't feel like I would be there forever because it was slow. I took my French fries to go and wasn't charged for modifications to my spaghetti dinner. There was a completely cheese-free pizza but I guess it didn't sell well. Personally, I miss it.“

“Dino's Pizza – 5 Stars!

If you're looking for the best pizza in town, look no further than Dino's Pizza. I highly recommend this place! Every bite is phenomenal – from their perfectly crisp crust to the rich, flavorful sauces and generous, fresh toppings.

It’s not just the pizza, either. Every dish on the menu is top-notch, making it clear that they put genuine care into everything they serve. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the cleanliness of the place is impeccable – a detail that’s always appreciated.

Dino's is more than just a pizza shop; it's a must-visit destination for anyone who loves great food. This is an easy 5 stars from me!“

“Was in PA working all the way from Tx. Was looking for some pizza when I got off and this came up on my google maps. Same name as an old place in San Antonio. Pizza was good ordered 2 slices, not knowing the size or the cost lol. Waited inside about 10-15min no biggie. Pizza was so hot I drove halfway back to my hotel before I pulled over to eat. I was starving FR. Go pullup ????“
