“I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Kimberly at Olive Garden, and she truly made my dining experience exceptional. From the moment I was seated, she greeted me with a warm smile and genuine kindness that immediately made me feel welcome.

Kimberly was attentive without ever being overbearing — she checked in at just the right times, kept my drinks filled, and made sure every part of the meal was perfect. What stood out most was her thoughtful attention to detail and how she went above and beyond to make me feel cared for, almost like I was dining with family.

She was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything came out fresh and timely. Even when the restaurant was busy, she never rushed me and always carried herself with patience and grace.

It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with such genuine warmth, but Kimberly did exactly that. Because of her, my visit was not just a meal — it was an experience worth remembering. Olive Garden is lucky to have her!“

“Enjoyed Amore's—good number of options, great flavor, great bang for your buck! I had the Chicken Murphy, which I'd never heard of before, and it was spectacular. Full of flavor and felt fancy! My husband enjoyed the eggplant parmesan, and we both loved the huge garlic rolls. They were fluffy and flaky!

We'll be back! Thank you, Amore's for an affordable Italian feast.“

“A Duncanville favorite❤️🔥💯🙌🏾“

“Need a date night spot? Need to eat before a show at the Myerson? If you are seeking Italian? This is it. Oso buco stuffed pasta and the papperdelle with wagyu bolognaese were our main courses. We shared a grilled romain salad with a house dressing that was rich and laid on fresh burratta. There is some slight fusion going on like the brushetta with the Waygu beef, caramelized onions and the acid of the basalmic then the brine from caviar. It was a delightful bite. The complimentary flavored ricotta flight and Limoncello was a nice treat. We enjoyed lovely cocktails and the voice of the piano player was amazing.“

“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.“

“Nice restaurant in a gentrifying neighborhood. Food was prepared with care and presented similarly. The pacing was leisurely, which is our preference although our last course took a bit longer than expected. Again the food was very nice but I wouldn't describe it as spectacular. I was a little surprised by the automatic 20% gratuity for a table of two. Not that the service did not deserve it, but, in my experience higher end restaurants do better by leaving it to the discretion of the diner. I would normally leave 25% but since they already included it I left it as it was. Overall, the restaurant was adequate for its pricing but I can't say I was wowed by it.“

“Love the food- delicious authentic Italian!“

“Dawn. Is amazing. Sit at the bar. She didn't miss a beat. Food was amazing.“

“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 found this place from TikTok and I’m so glad i came. I was in town visiting and wanted to do a nice dinner and this place met all of my expectations! Iman was my beautiful and amazing server, she was so kind and made my time here a good one as well. The food was great and the view from my table was amazing. And i loved the glass of champagne from Branden before coming to the actual restaurant. I will for sure be back when I’m in town!!“

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

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

“From the entry of the door the customer service was a 10. The food was delicious and the music was lovely. I had the grill chicken and salad. It was a hit. The owners was welcoming and very polite. I will be back it was a great experience.“

“delicious pie! Alfredo sauce is amazing! if you ain't dabbing your pizza with a napkin, your pizza is DRY! THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!“

“Went to Abruzzo’s with my family and everyone was pleased. The kids liked the tortellini alfredo and the spinach artichoke dip. The lasagna trio was great and the meatball sub hit the spot (it also held up when reheated as leftovers). They were out of lobster ravioli but I look forward to trying it next time!“

“The entire experience was wonderful. Our server, Lorena “Little Bird,” was very attentive and knew her stuff. We had cheesy bread, lasagna, and a meat lovers pizza. The lasagna was phenomenal, so was the pizza. They make everything to order and fresh. You can customize as you wish because nothing is premixed. It was evident. It was so good. Lorena, we will be back, and we’ll bring all our friends with us. See you soon.“

“We had an amazing dinner at North Italia, everyone in our party of 7 thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our waiter, Iyapo was very informative on the dishes and after asking us what types of food we enjoyed was very meticulous in helping each of us find a meal we enjoyed. The chicken scarapiello was one of the most delicious and beautiful meals I have seen or tasted, truly a work of art is taste and blending of flavors. Highly recommended! We will definitely be back!“

“I had lunch there for the first time today and the food was fantastic! Nice, clean restaurant and friendly staff. I will definitely be back!“

“This place has the best pizza I've tasted in the DFW so far. friendly staff and they're opening a bar next door!!!“

“Not the worst not the best, just avoid to go on the weekends...you be okay

After 2 years we came back on a Sunday
Food and service was great🫶✨I see the improvement 😋I guess everything depends on restaurants having a good staff, our waiter Adrian was friendly and attentive. I'm so happy they changed my perspective, we definitely plan to come back soon..“

“We absolutely recommend Ravenna’s. It’s worth a short walk from our hotel. We were greeted with excellent service, great recommendations while
ordering, and excellent cuisine. Our waiter was well-trained and helped to make our experience memorable and hoping to return.“

“First one we been to that doesn’t have a smell the moment you walk in!!! Our server was absolutely wonderful! So very sweet and kind! Food was amazing.🤩 The restaurant it self, was clean and had very good lighting, most are dark and cold! We will be back for sure!“

“Demi was fantastic!! Lovely place and delicious pizza!! Thank you so much for a great experience 💕“

“My husband and I came here for the first time during restaurant week and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was unbelievable. We literally couldn’t go two minutes without someone stopping by to check on us or provide personal service in some way. We felt very pampered and taken care of. We split the Caesar salad, mozzarella sticks, spicy rigatoni, bolognese, chicken parmesan, ribeye, gelato and raspberry chocolate cake — WOW it was an insane amount of food (we definitely needed to-go boxes) and every dish was absolutely delicious. The bolognese and chocolate raspberry cake were stand outs for us. The wine pairings were also exceptional, as you would expect from a restaurant named Vino. Also loved the music and vibes of the whole place. Definitely will be coming back for a special meal in the future!“

“Some of the best food I have ever eaten! Thank you for the amazing experience!“

“Went here for my bachelorette and it was amazing, amazing for photo opps and Kristin is literally the best! She is just everything you want in a server! I 10000000/10 recommend this place and Kristin!“

“Great place with a great atmosphere and amazing New York styled pizza personally the meatball sub was a hit go show them some love“

“The food was great. When guests arrive they have to check in at the desk in front of the other restaurant to be seated. It is awkward. The whole time we were eating people were doing the same thing as us, walking into the restaurant and then being told to go check in front of the other restaurant to get seated.“

“Today was the first time I tried their pizza and it was on a whim. I got their lunch special of a personal pizza, salad and drink. It was sooo delicious! Everything looked and tasted fresh! The ingredients we all fresh and I really enjoyed my meal. I will definitely be back!“

“fresh food and tasty! good atmosphere“

“Absolutely love the food and the service is usually second to mone. This time was different. Its was Mother's Day and the restaurant was very crowded. We all felt very rushed to complete our meal.  it wasn't the usual laid-back, calm service we are accustomed to. This however, will not deter us from dining many more times at Carbone's!“

“I was very disappointed on my last visit in Carrollton. It was a late lunch, sat in the side room. 2 tables were being used when we got there but left shortly after. We asked that the music be turned down so we could hear one another and it took 2 requests for them to turn it down slightly. Music is fine but we did go there for good food and conversation.“

“Best pizza in the DFW. Good customer service too“

“Quick service, pretty close to pizza in Bella Napoli.“

“Food was amazing! Lemon provided excellent late night service. Grateful for great pizza on an out-of-town visit! Thanks for the chats and hospitality“

“Friendly, attentive service and cozy atmosphere. We had the bruschetta, pizza, and lasagna with no regrets. We will be back!“

“Ate there for the first time this evening. The fettuccine alfrefo with chicken was delicious. Portions are large. I loved the toasty rolls. The owner/manager was friendly and provided good service.“

“Tried a new place downtown for dinner. Just beyond the Arts District, this secret hideaway was great! The decor is soft and welcoming with a huge lemon tree right in the middle of the patio. The food was delicious! We shared great bottle of wine (half price!) arancini that were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I had the pear pasta special and my husband had the veal cutlet which was bigger than the plate! And we share maybe the best tiramisu we've ever eaten. Ask for a table in Lace's section, you won't regret it!“

“The environment is charming. The food is excellent. The staff is exceptional. in my family's experience, Alexis is a very accommodating waitress happy to help with a smile and warm chit chat. Angelo is very helpful with recommending food. My wife and I trust him blindly with picking our meals. Best Italian restaurant in Grand Prairie.“

“In town for the NFR and swung in for some pizza. Holy moly was every dough product amazing! Pizza crust! Bread knots! Stromboli! Calzone! Very spectacular food.“

“this place used to be really good. the potato wedges and other sides are still solid but the pizza is a flop-fest even if you order well done. Costco has better pizza. 😐“

“I’m a constant customer. The food is always ready on-time & it tastes great. That’s all I can ask for & they consistently come-through, which is why they’ve earned consistent business from me! Thanks fellas, keep up the good work!

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

“Only one of the best pizza joints in East Dallas! Haven't been here in years, was actually surprised to see a menu online - sounding like a geezer here, but back in my day if we wanted a full menu, we'd go to Yelp and pray someone took a photo of the menu on the wall. But I digress. Are they vegan friendly? No. Do they cater to gluten free diets? Not really (when I last checked in 2007). Do they have a great ambiance for romantic nights out? A resounding no. Is the pizza good? Yeah... yeah, it is. And cheap, too. Okay. I'm done now.“

“everything food is great but service is slow because everything is fresh to order.“

“Es excelente! Pizza pig Smile my favorita !“

“Winter storm hits and they are slammed. Only the manager was working. We had no problem waiting for the food. At least she showed up during all of the ice. Appreciate everything she did!“
