50 Best Italian Restaurants in Dallas

“Thank you for a lovely shower. Brianna made everything easy and effortless. She was a pleasure to work with. On the day of the event she was there along with the manager, Barry and staff. Everyone was very attentive and the food was amazing. Everyone loved it - it was the perfect setting and a perfect day. Thanks to all.“

“Was able to sit at the bar right away, 6pm on Friday night. Service great. Very good mocktails. Started with arancini and Romano beans, both excellent. Linguini clams and lasagna next snd were even better. Took some tiramisu home which was A+. Can't wait to come back.“

“The food was amazing, service was great, very romantic setting! The view is breathtaking!“

“Everything was great! I can’t think of any negatives. Highly recommend the ricotta and garlic bread, the veal piccata, the lasagna, and the cannoli, but you can’t go wrong no matter what you order. The service was excellent, shout out to Marisol. I will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at Barsotti’s for providing an outstanding dining experience.“

“The hostess crew was top notch. We had res to vino but they were able to get me a spot in the main dining area. The ambiance we authentic and classy. Our maitre was very attentive and pleasant, and the lobster ravioli and spicy pasta was delicious.“

“Went with a friend this past Thursday and was astonished at everything. From the Whipped Ricotta, to the Fois Gois ravioli to the steak. Absolutely amazing experience all around.“

“Le PasSage was a good experience and I thoroughly enjoyed and while I give it a 5 stars review I did want a little more. I'll start by saying the cocktails were amazing. Their take on a white Negroni was top notch and the paper plane was stunning. In addition the tea donut for dessert was something I'll come back for. It was incredibly well prepared and had great taste. The tofu and bluefin however, while still very tasty felt like they were missing something. They could have used a little more flavor or something to brighten them up. Both well prepared but lacking in overall execution. Overall had a great experience, will come back but still a little room to improve.“

“Everything about the experience here has been top notch. It is a culinary delight! The pianist is so talented and great vocals! Basically, if you are in a bad mood and you come in .....you are going to leave happy!“

“Delicious Mediterranean dishes from the falafel to my chicken paillard and the shrimp saganaki and ending with dessert which looked like mini beignets with lavender honey and dark chocolate dips. Service was fantastic and courteous. The ambiance was lightly lit and chill. The bathrooms were clean and modern. I recommend Sachet for date night or a meal with friends. Pricey but you receive what you pay for. There’s ample parking in the back if you can’t find any in the front. The only issue is that the wooden oven pita with the virgin olive oil was too nutty (with actual too many nuts) but I would instead try the tirokafteri with spicy feta dip, served with warm pita next time.“

“Such a great atmosphere, food, and service.“

“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❤️“

“Great place, friendly staff and excellent food. The cream of jalapeño soup is fabulous. I will be dreaming about that soup until next time!“

“We were in Dallas for a work event and stumbled across Partenope on night 2 of our visit and the food and the service ( Theo) was awesome! Our last night in Dallas we came back with other coworkers and we had Heather as our server and again the food and service was OUTSTANDING!!! The bruschetta was delicious as was the Salumi board. This is a must visit!!“

“I have eaten the recipes at AG Texican for years! Abel comes from a family who owned other amazing restaurants in Dallas in the past. He carries on their tradition with his amazing recipes and an atmosphere that feels like home every time you come in! Abel may be considered “fried Jesus” to some but he is the guy who carries on the tradition of the first and best TexMex I’ve ever eaten! I HIGHLY recommend AG Texican!“

“I went here with my bestie and the servers were all professional but we had Rico and he took great care of us. The food came out looking exactly as it did in the pictures and it was just so fresh“

“The absolute best and our favorite restaurant. Our server was so kind and attentive, and the food was some of the best we have ever had. We love it so much we tried almost everything on the menu. The combination of ingredients and the freshness and care put into making the food is unparalleled. We will definitely be back and had such a wonderful night“

“Beautiful flamenco/classical style guitar made the whole experience. Relaxed atmosphere fantastic food drinks and music. What more can you ask for?“

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

“fresh food and tasty! good atmosphere“

“This restaurant has a small shopfront but the size inside is still very large. The table is a little bit too small but the overall environment is quiet that’s not bad. The food is ok. The most delicious dish is the appetizer in Picture2 and the olives in last picture are super delicious. Appreciate the waiter packed the olives for me. Will continue to come back because there are delicious olives loll.
It is worth mentioning that their desserts are very good. Be sure to try them.. “

“Our server, Meighan, knew the menu up and down, and made spot on recommendations. We began with Caesar Salad and Portobello Mushroom Fries with Tomato Aioli. For entrees, Chicken Parmesan and Sea Bass. And to wrap it up, tiramisu. Great food. Great service. Fantastic people watching.“

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

“Amazing food and great service“

“We recently visited this Mediterranean restaurant as a group of four, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious with some unique flavors — like their citrus-infused salmon, which was a fresh and tasty twist. The ambiance of the place was charming, making it a nice spot for a relaxed evening.

Service started a little slow, but our waiter quickly became attentive and responsive throughout the night. At the end, there was a small mix-up with our dessert order, but they handled it wonderfully. As a complimentary gesture, they brought us three different desserts on the house, which was a delightful touch and much appreciated. Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you’re in the mood for some great Mediterranean food with a twist!“

“648 out of 10! Atmosphere is great....lots of oxygen! customer service is fantastic! The food... sorry... cuisine was great! Wine list is very well rounded and fair pricing! Zero out of Ten complaints.“

“This was our first time visiting the restaurant and we didn't realize it was family style. Needless to we left full and happy. The service was great. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. She checked on us frequently! The old fashion that I ordered was delicious!! The Lobster ravioli was amazing and the lamb chops was seasoned just right but a little heavy on the pepper but other than that, it was delicious!! We will definitely be back again!! Really great spot for a date night!“

“The pizza here is about as good as it gets IMO. We loved Cane Rosso when we first visited in Dallas over 10 years ago and were excited for the opportunity to come back last weekend. The star of the show here is the pizza. Oh my sweet goodness… it is Ah-mazing. Fresh and flavorful ingredients expertly assembled into super-delicious heavenly pizza. We also enjoyed the cocktails but honestly I mostly remember the pizza. Staff was all very friendly and attentive. Overall, I really love this place and hope it’s not another 10 years until we return“

“Love this place! The atmosphere is great and the pizza are delicious. If you’re gluten-free and want a good pizza, this is THE place for you! The waiters are very nice too. I recommend

Dietary restrictions: Perfect for gluten free people. They make their own gluten free crust and it looks like you’re eating a normal pizza.

Parking: Parking is just next to the restaurant and always available“

“Very nice atmosphere and food was OUTSTANDING!“

“It’s simple and delicious. Love the staff.“

“Best mom and pop shop in Dallas! Always really friendly and caring. I love the Spiderman Burrito.“

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

“Perfect experience from beginning to end. We felt treated like family the entire time and the food was amazing! Tempting to eat too much but be sure to save room for their speciality dessert also!“

“We had a lovely time here. Ashley was one of the kindest most energetic servers we have ever had! She was so lovely and made the night even better! The lamb chops and swordfish were to die for, and we ended the night with the peanut butter pie!!! We will definitely be coming back for date night again soon!“

“Great service and food. We don’t live near it but want to go back anytime we’re in Dallas. We will also recommend it to our family and friends“

“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“

“Excellent pizza! Great prices!“

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

“1st visit--heard abut it from friends and it was fun and delicious at the same time! Conveniently located just off the SRT, too.“

“We enjoyed our ‘end of week’ Sunday meal @ 5 p.m. by starting off with Carpaccio and delicious hot bread, then for our main courses, Silk Hankerchiefs, and Fettuccine Carne e Funghi with brandy cream sauce. No room for dessert… lovely service by an even lovelier server from Hidalgo! Creamed corn with Calabrian peppers (side dish)…don’t skip this side dish… ❤️“

“Went today for the first time and the food was exquisite. Very authentic and delicious.“

“The bruschetta and eggplant parm were delicious! Can’t wait to return.“

“Second time time coming! this time for Valentine’s dinner with my husband… it was busy but there was no wait time. The food was good and fresh. I order a sampler to begin then chicken marsala and tiramisu for desert… I wish the sampler was healthier as everything was fried and it looked a bit messy on the plate itself, but no biggie the place was busy. My dish was fresh and delicious, although I think the marsala alcohol could have been evaporated more as there was a taste at the end that was the alcohol of the marsala which I attribute to place being busy… the waitress was very polite and prompt. The dessert was awesome as well as the garlic rolls. I wish the were other options for main dishes like vegetables or mash potatoes as I think my chicken marsala doesn’t go well with pasta mixed together. Overall a good Italian restaurant to visit.“

“Love the food- delicious authentic Italian!“

“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“

“I love mozzarella, and this dish went beyond my expectations. The cheese is perfectly fried for a delightful crunch. The portion is big, making it great to share or as a satisfying snack.“

“Omg so amazing shy took my order did everything she was suppose to it’s my first time and I thing I’m going to like it here I can’t count out the other 2 workers q and broke was amazing with customer service as well great team effort and great sportsmanship“

“Highly recommend. The service is phenomenal every time. The owner makes a point to check each table to make sure you’re satisfied with the meal. He sent out a complimentary cheesecake tonight for my fiancé and I. They are the friendliest staff. The food is out of this world delicious. I’ve never had better Italian food. Thank you for putting your heart into your business. I feel it every time I walk through the door.“

“We came for the first time during Restaurant Week and were blown away at how good it was. For starters our group had the raviolis and the gazpacho, both of which were very good. The raviolis were sinfully tasty in a creamy mushroom sauce that was just outstanding. For our mains, each of us had something different: the pecan crusted redfish, the duck, the veal bolognese and the risotto. Each of us were amazed at how well the dishes were executed, perfectly seasoned, nice accompaniments and the portion sizes were great! Plenty to eat without being stuffed!

The service here was outstanding. We interacted with several folks , from our server to food runners to the GM, all of which were at the top of their game. What we really appreciated about it (other than the amazing food) was how the service was so polished and professional but friendly, engaging, and not the least bit pretentious. We loved how the restaurant was small and casual with elevated food and service.

The only request we would have is to have bread served with the meals to soak up all these amazing sauces that were with our dishes.

We all were thrilled with Urbano Cafe and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“Love this spot! It's very intimate, quaint, and romantic in a low key way. Love the back room. It's a little hard to take a crowd to without being obnoxious to other customers because of the acoustics and size. The lasagna is phenomenal, and I'd say the veggie lasagna is the best. The chicken parm sandwich is also a good deal for a lot of food. The coffee is good, but the alcohol I've gotten there hasn't been amazing. The frozen sangria is okay, but the wine we've gotten there has been pretty cheap Kirkland. All the meals I've had here have been great, and the same waitress is always there and she's great. When it's busy the service is a bit lacking but it's usually only her and she's serving the whole restaurant. Parking lot is shared by other establishments and is small and awkward but you can park on Davis or Polk and be pretty close. I would love to see this place be busier in general tho, it's such a gem in Oak Cliff!“
