After doing some research, Damiano's Italian restaurant was selected as the place to try for today's lunch. Maybe it was the time change or Spring break, but there was no wait at the restaurant as we got seated right the way. For appetizer I ordered Stuffed mushroom and Lasagna with Meat Sauce for my lunch course. The Stuffed mushroom was not what I had in mind since the description indicated it was stuffed with Crab meat and Sherry wine sauce; the dish had more sauce than I had imagined but it's OK as the dish had good flavor. Lasagna was good and tasty, maybe a little light on the meat sauce amount. The service was very prompt with friendly staff.

I visited this restaurant yesterday to treat my family on my birthday hoping to get a good Italian food experience after seeing some of the reviews. Though I made a reservation in advance, I was made to wait for 30 minutes. After being seated, we had to wait for another 30 minutes for someone to take our order. And the drinks came in 15 minutes later followed by the appetizers after another 20 minutes. I had to ask for the silverware and small plates separately. We were a party of 4 and they gave us 2 forks and said the other forks would arrive soon as they were still washing them. They did not have any knifes. I wondered how they expected to eat the chicken breast without a knife, maybe I should learn this. Overall it was an awful experience, and I think these guys are not ready yet for a very buzy night of business. Would not recommend if you are expecting a delightful experience.

This place is Amazing! Loved the food and taste, I ordered Vickie’s special and it was awesome and very flavorful! The atmosphere is very nice and comfortable. Our waiter Jim was on point and very polite. He did a great job getting us what we needed and keeping our drinks full! I will definitely be going back again. This place is very Authentic and family owned you can tell they take pride in cooking and making you feel at home!. If your looking for an Authentic Italian restaurant I recommend this place!

Yikes. We ordered though DoorDash and it took the restaurant three hours to make the food. When it arrived, the garlic bread was burnt, the rolls were burnt, the lobster ravioli portion was a joke considering the price, and my lasagna was so dried out the noodles could be snapped (see video). There was also hardly any meat sauce on this disgusting lasagna. Will never ever patron this establishment again.

Tonight we tried this Italian restaurant and it was interesting. I ordered the fettuccine shrimp and crab and received the shrimp and chicken (a little disappointing.) The waitress was really sweet and did put in the order correctly but the chef just made a mistake. They did change the cost on the bill of the difference between getting chicken instead of crab which is great. Sadly half of my shrimp still had their crunchy tails, the sauce was pretty good. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs he said it was ok (he did eat it all), just needed more sauce. He did like the bread that was given before we received our meals. We went around 630-ish it wasn't busy at all, they did have a bar for beer or wine. We all like different things and this just isn't the place for us.

Had a wonderful last minute italian dinner at Damianos this past weekend. Was a little tired of thanksgiving left overs and was craving a good Italian dish so I decided to finally check out this family owned restaurant. Was fortunate enough to walk in on a night with a live singer performing! The music was fantastic and the food was great as well! I had the eggplant parm as well as some calamari and a glass of house wine ($5). Would definitely love to check this place out again to try out some of their other dishes.

Terrible mistake. $50 of over cooked crusty pasta, burnt thin as paper chicken parm with the least amount of sauce. Don't get me started on $17 just for 3 lobster ravioli, garlic bread....with zero garlic. Very disappointed. I've had TV dinners taste better

This place seems like a family owned restaurant. It's usually never busy but their food is really good. Great week day or weekend spot if you're craving Italian food and want to get in and out quickly. Great service. We frequent this place! I usually get the chicken Marsala and my bf gets the chicken Piccata.

Beautiful family owned restaurant. Food was poor quality. Pasta was over cooked and sauces were very bland and watery. Meatballs were very wet, and the shrimp was over cooked. Save yourself a trip and use jarred sauce and dried pasta, it will be 100% better than their food. Garlic bread was alright.

This place is wonderful! The service was really great, our waitress was so nice. I tried Nina’s Special and subbed the chicken for meatballs, it was fantastic! Everything here is super fresh and the alfredo sauce is without a doubt scratch-made. Can’t wait to come back!
They serve a dinner roll with your meal. I had the lobster ravioli and a glass of sauvignon blanc. The sauvignon was very tin-ny. The ravioli was good but only had 3. My husband had their spaghetti with meat sauce and a glass of montepulciano. He said they were both good. The meat sauce had just the right amount of meat.

Pizza, calzóns, bread is great! Fresh! No overpowering garlic butter on the rolls. The tiramisu and Italian cream cake also great!

My wife ordered for delivery tonight, Sept. 30, 2022, and I was not impressed at all! I had the Lasagna with Italian Sausage, with an extra "Link" of sausage to go with it! My wife had fried Egg Plant with spaghetti and Caesers Salad, which were quite good and she had no complaints. Mine...not so good. First...I ordered an extra link of sausage...it wasn't included! I had 6 quarter sized round of sausage on top and 2 more inside the second layer. No extra link! Also...in my photo, what little sauce that was with the "Lasagna" was just around d the edge. If I would have wanted lasagna noodles with Ricotta cheese, that had absolutely no salt, pepper or and thing else to flavor the cheese! Now...as for my Cheese cake! Or what there was of it! It was more of a sliver...maybe an inch wide tapering down to a very thin point! The only almond flavor I got was the 3 tiny almond slivers on top! This was ordered from Damiano in Cedar Park, Texas.

Unfortunately made the mistake of checking out Damianos in Cedar Park. When we walked in it was empty - there were 2 other couples sitting in the booths. We got sat immediately at a table that needed to be fixed (rocked back and forth). We got up and sat at the next booth - not a big deal. We proceeded to order the meatballs and garlic bread as appetizers. The meatballs were bland and overpriced ($8 for 4 small meatballs). The garlic bread may have been the best thing we had and I would argue that the frozen stuff you get in H‑E‑B was significantly better. For our main courses had the lasagna and chicken parmigiana. The lasagna had almost no sauce on it and the Italian sausage was chopped into slices and just broiled top after the lasagna was made. The chicken was grey and overcooked on top of a bed of spaghetti that was bland. Unfortunately I don't expect that we will be back. Food was completely underwhelming and lacked any kind of seasoning. Save yourself the time and money and buy frozen from H‑E‑B and have a more authentic Italian meal

Looked online to see what time lunch specials were over. I saw the lunch menu, made a decision and left for what I hoped was a quick lunch as I had a busy work day today. Place was pretty empty but it is a Monday. Sat down and didn't get a lunch menu. I asked the server for the lunch menu. He says they don't do lunch anymore. I didn't want a huge portion but he told me the lunch and dinner portions were the same but the price was different. The chicken parm Lunch I was going to order is twice the price for dinner... for the same portion? And their website shows a lunch menu. Won't be coming back. Just decided to go elsewhere.
