50 Best Italian Restaurants in Dallas

“💯 recomendado un servicio, excelente la comida deliciosa, un trato excelente“

“Impeccable service and unbelievable delicious food!“

“Had an amazing experience at Lucia. The struggle to get a res was worth it! The hand made pastas were delicious, especially the seasonal ravioli. We loved the simple salad (ironic bc it was very simple, but it was simply perfection). Our favorite course may have even been dessert. The parmigiana gelato was to die for….“

“Restaurant week menu tastes great. Portion size is smaller than regular menu but just right for us because we don't want too much food. They offered an extra appetizer for my celebration. The cheese and olive gift is also really yummy. All in all, loved the food.“

“My partner and I came down to Dallas from OKC to celebrate our anniversary weekend. My partner has a severe gluten allergy so we always look for places that can accommodate that need. Our server, Matt, was incredible. He pointed out all the items that couldn’t be made gluten free. He answered all of our questions with confidence and clarity. We felt so comfortable with our selections. As for the food, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! It was INCREDIBLE!!! You could have fooled me that it was gluten free (I know it was because I didn’t have to take my partner to the hospital)! Not only did the give us an amazing meal, but they brought out a special, gluten free dessert to celebrate our anniversary. We also were given some gift cards as a thank you for celebrating our anniversary there. We will ABSOLUTELY be back next time when we’re in town, and I cannot recommend this place or Matt enough, whether you’re gluten intolerant or not.“

“Amazing Family-Owned Italian Gem! We hosted a work dinner here, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like part of the family. The service was warm, personal, and perfectly attentive without ever feeling rushed. The food? Outstanding. Every dish tasted homemade with so much care—from the fresh pasta to the perfectly seasoned entrees. Our team kept talking about how delicious everything was! It’s rare to find a restaurant that blends quality, comfort, and genuine hospitality this well. If you’re looking for a truly authentic, family-owned Italian spot for a dinner, date night, or group event, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back! 🍝❤️“

“The food... EXCELLENCE!!!🍴🍷🍴“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere! The salmon with risotto was perfectly prepared and server Martin was friendly, professional and patient. Will certainly return!“

“We love this location! Great service every time. Delicious food & amazing cocktails. We bring the kiddos too and they are so good and understanding with them“

“It was a great experience. My family and I came by to celebrate Mother's day for my wife. She loves italian food. They kept the dishes pretty authentic to italian American cuisine. I had the bolognese lasagna. Pasta tasted as if the made it in house. Wife got the pasta and gravy. She LOVED it. Baby got French toast. She loved it. We had to get canoli's. They were delicious as well.“

“the vibe inside is really homey. the price point is great. I was able to comfortably order a few things to try. I also think the portions were good. the duck ragu was very good. I enjoyed that plate very much. the sauce pairs with the duck very well. it's fork licking good. the carbonara I didn't care for, I didn't finish it. it didn't taste quite balanced. also my pasta was under cooked. I checked to see if maybe I was given buccatini on accident but no, it was just underdone spaghetti. overall, I'll try it again. my experience I think was good for a first visit“

“Always terrific! One of my favorite Dallas restaurants.“

“Via Triozzi in Lower Greenville was an amazing dinner experience. I went with friends who go often and had been hyping it up, and it absolutely lived up to the praise. The menu is fantastic, the vibes inside the restaurant are warm and lively, and everything feels thoughtfully done.
Our server was incredible- extremely knowledgeable about the menu, answered all of our questions, and made great recommendations, including wine pairings that were spot on.
The food is on the pricier side, but I expected that going in, and the quality completely justified it. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The specialty cocktails were also very good, and the tiramisu truly lived up to the hype. I’d go back just for that alone.
We ordered multiple pasta dishes and shared around the table, and every single one was excellent.
This is an ideal spot for a date night or a special dinner with great food and drinks.
Reservations are definitely needed, valet parking is free (which helps since parking in the area can be tough), and the staff really makes the experience memorable.
I’ll make it a point to come back every time I’m in Dallas- wish I could try everything on the menu.“

“This place exceeded expectations on every level. Atmosphere was cozy for date night dinner before my wife and I went to see Nate Bargatze. The Food at all ends were alive with flavor kicking. The service was attentive and caring, just excellent. We started with The spinach artichoke dip. amazing, the chips (I believe their famous Italian nacho chips and homemade Garlic bread slices came together like a flavor family. My wife ordered the Primavera with chicken and the cream Parmesan sauce. out worldly, amazing. I would eat that sauce on everything. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Penne. A wonderful fusion of Sharp sundried tomatoes, sauteed Garlic cloves sauce and chicken. the spice was excellent as well, not overpowering like the star of the show, but rather a supporting actor that let you know they were there. The portions were very generous. don't expect to finish your entire dish, we went hungry and left with 1/3 of each of our entrees. I would recommend this place to anyone in Dallas, or going to Dallas..I would even recommend to the owners to venture down to Houston, as we could use this in our city. You would be missing out if you didn't come through this place at least once.“

“We just visited for the first time. Nik was our server and did a fabulous job. The atmosphere was amazing , beautiful live music, and amazing food ! Definitely a place we will go again! The only thing that dampered the mood a bit was another server. While she was a gorgeous and stunning young lady, her attitude and unprofessional display on dining room floor directed at our server, and noticed by all in attendance, was appalling. These types of acts can ruin a beautiful atmosphere and the reputation of your business. Definitely needs to be addressed!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an amazing experience! The service was professional, friendly, and exceeded my expectations. Communication was excellent from start to finish, everything was handled efficiently, and I felt valued as a customer throughout the entire process. It’s hard to find people who genuinely care about providing quality service these days, but that definitely shows here. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy experience. I will definitely be returning and referring others!“

“Authentic, whole ingredients and top-notch Neapolitan cooking techniques that will make your Italian-loving heart swoon. We love everything about eating here including pizza dough that was blistered/crunchy on the edges while delicately soft on the inside and topped with high quality toppings. The pizza alone will give us cravings to return often! The pesto and prosciutto were the best quality!“

“We chose Saint Rocco’s New York Italian as our dinner spot before the NYE fireworks, and it was the perfect choice. The caprese salad was phenomenal—so fresh and authentic it instantly transported me back to Italy and brought back the sweetest memories. The lasagna was rich, comforting, and full of flavor, and the meatballs were seasoned to absolute perfection. And let’s talk about the lemon drop martini—with that perfect sugar rim. Crisp, refreshing, and dangerously good. Absolute chef’s kiss. Then came dessert… the Banana Nutter Pudding (which honestly should’ve been first). Creamy banana pudding with bourbon-caramelized bananas, peanut butter cookie, nut brittle, and whipped cream—pure indulgence and worth every single bite. A huge shout-out to Thomas and Naomi, our bartender/servers, who truly made the experience one to remember. Attentive, friendly, and welcoming—service like theirs makes great food even better. Amazing food, incredible service, cocktails done right, and the perfect way to kick off New Year’s Eve. I will definitely be back.“

“Amazing how some restaurants have such small menus but this defines the idea that they don't NEED to offer quantity, simply fantastic, DEFINITELY on the loud side but rad atmosphere and it was out of mind virtually from the jump, fantastic time in every way, SHALL MOST CERTAINLY RETURN...great memories❤️“

“You are the pizza I've been looking for! That perfect crust, that flavorful sauce, that just the right amount of everything! THANK YOU!!“

“Roma's is my absolute favorite pizza place. I've ordered religiously for about 8 months now, I think. My favorite is the Margherita, but I love the plain cheese or pepperoni. I am NEVER disappointed. It arrives hot and fresh with beautiful presentation. Very tasty 😋 Their prices are budget friendly too.“

“My family loves MoMo Italian Kitchen! From the relaxing ambiance w a child friendly yard to excellent, consistently yummy food, it can’t be beat!“

“Karina was absolutely amazing! She attended us when we went in. The food was delicious! We enjoyed everything and the hospitality they provide made us enjoy this experience so much more. Love the intimate setting, highly recommended for a date night.“

“Everything was delicious. A Big thank you to our server who recommend the tortellini is was fantastic!!“

“Cremona Bistro, hit it out of the park on our company holiday lunch! Silvia Rosewood Hotel Group thanks You & the Team!“

“Here in town for the HOSA INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, my students and I fell in love with this place. Their mock cocktails are nice!“

“Food was amazing!! Definitely takes me back to Italy. Wish I lived closer!!“

“Always a great experience! I normally get the lobster ravioli because it's to die for. I Decided to try something different & went with the Wood fired Chicken & not disappointed. The artichoke hearts are amazing for a starter. Chicken Parm a la vodka was very good, too. ( My bad it was Chicken Parm that was a fish from the day before different restaurant ) Dessert was the lemon tart type cake. Also decadent & delicious. Next door had a Jazz tour band playing. Would be perfect for a date night, great cool vibes & great drinks. The staff is always on point, service is impeccable. Five stars 🤩“

“In Dallas for two nights only. Wife wanted Italian for dinner. Started a small search on local restaurants and found this gem! Impeccable freshly curated Italian food with awesome service. Food was top notch and priced below normal thresholds for the quality represented. Nice dinner with my wife to end a long day. Give this restaurant a try! You will be a customer for life. Wished lived closer!“

“Had a great time! Food was delicious and the staff was excellent! I recommend their grilled chicken dish, it’s amazing! Great atmosphere as well. Cozy and classy!“

“fresh food and tasty! good atmosphere“

“Soooo much delicious food at a great price!!!“

“Yes the food was good but their fries- OMG! Hands down some of the best fries I have ever had! Get the mushroom starter! Tuna tartar was so refreshing with the grapes. Loved our lamb chops, steak and the salmon. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Jenny was amazing. The host was so well dressed, his smile and warm welcome really started our night on a positive note.“

“We love Zio Cecio! We have gone here for all 5 of our anniversary dinners, and we will continue that tradition forever. Such a wonderful place! The food and atmosphere are incredible, and the owner, Francesco, is such a sweet man. Could not recommend this place enough!!“

“I bought a delicious spinach and feta ravioli with tomato cream sauce. Best fresh pasta in Dallas!“

“Pasta was cooked Al dente and tilapia was moist inside and crispy outside. Shrimp were a little bit over cooked to my taste. Salad was fresh and the house salad is my favorite. I recommend it.“

“Good pizza. Good cookies. Good rolls. Best lasagna I have ever bought at any place. Highly recommend.“

“First time experience was great! The ambiance is very open and airy. The service and attentiveness was great. We had calamari which was light and crispy. Not over breaded. We had the mushroom truffle pizza and it's was sooo delicious! They have a pizza oven and the crust was to perfection. Can't wait to try other pizzas and the pasta next time!“

“Such great food and service! The menu is unique. I love the fig bruschetta & the fig and Gorgonzola pizza .“

“8 of us went there to celebrate my son’s graduation. Atmosphere was cozy & relaxed. Amber was very attentive & quick in her services. We all “cleaned up” our pasta dishes - it was that good! Two of us had pizzas & they were delicious too.“

“So we happen to notice this place across the street from my buddies apartment. Today we stopped in and order a little bit of everything. The creamy chicken soup was delicious, pasta was simple but also delicious. We ended with the crab cakes and I was so stuffed I only had 2 bites but it was worth it. Stacy was our server and she did a great job from recommendations to attentiveness. I think we just found a new go to by the house. $56 dollar for 2 grown men is a bargain for what we got. Thank you“

“Anthony’s is a place that makes your taste buds and your spirit keep wanting to come back for moor. The atmosphere is inviting the welcome is spectacular. The service is on another level. The food is very tasteful that makes your taste buds Barely waiting for the next bite My favorite is the Bolognese extra spicy and meatballs and spaghetti and you cannot go wrong on the pizza“

“They customer service is great, the food is awesome, the place is very clean. Nice setting for date night. Mrs. Cassandra was great & her drinks from the bar man say just get there. I love the news I heard about the owner. They been there 42 years & counting.“

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Manager Anthony “made it right” when Uber Eats “made it wrong”. The pizza was fantastic! Vegan+Gluten Free. I am so glad they are not only making this type of pizza, but they are making it fantastically! 🤩😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place has great pizza and great service Very attentive to the customer“

“I've been craving pizza for a few days so I decided to give this place a shot. They sell pizza by the slice so it's perfect for lunch. I had 2 slices (supreme, and pepperoni) and a Mexican coke in a bottle for ten bucks and change. They are very generous with the toppings. That supreme slice was STACKED with meat and veggies. It was so good. I'm definitely going back. I saw that they have beer on tap and a small bar. The place has plenty of seating room and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I should have taken a picture of the menu but it slipped my mind. Highly recommended, give them a shot.“

“It’s a friendly atmosphere with great food.“

“We had the most pleasant dining experience with the manager Josh and his momma! Friendly and wonderful service! If you are going to Dallas drive down Greenville Ave. and experience this unique Italian experience!“
