“Wine selection is extensive (see photos), good service and great Italian food!My husband went out to celebrate a good event and ate at Mangia Bistro. This restaurant has a very experienced chef in the kitchen named Artur who owns this restaurant. His specialty is recommending a bottle of wine from his selection or suggesting a selection from his menu. Look at the choices, you might need his help! We ate Italian standards which might be boring to some, but this was delicious for us. If you like to order something new I'm sure it is available.The Mangia house salad and fresh bread begin your dinner and the taste is so fresh. Attention to detail with a house salad is uncommon these days. The lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs was hot and fully devoured. I took photos to show you the quality and what you can expect. Hopefully you will meet the chef/owner when you come.If that is not enough he makes fresh cakes for dessert! I think I will come for wine and cake some evening as well.Cheers! I think you will like Mangia Bistro and come back again as well.“
“Refreshing true Italian choice. Friends of ours took us here for the first time tonight.Excellent ingredients, and innovative menu choices that fit both vegetarian and Keto diets. Loved the antipasti and charcuterie. Pizza was melt in your mouth light and buttery. Meatballs were great (had them as appetizer instead of with spaghetti)“
“This is my husband’s and I favorite Italian restaurant! We have been here for several date nights and it never disappoints. The food is absolutely amazing, the ambience is great! Kyle was our server today, he was above and beyond! Thank you Kyle! Can’t wait to be back!!“
“Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Been here on 3 occasions and tried a different pie each time. 10/10 pizza. Great charring and dough has an incredible consistency. It shows that they really care.Photographed here is an empty box of Tiramisu. Truly the best I ever had. I know they say “seeing is believing” but, trust me, the lack of tiramisu in the box is all the proof you need.They also gave my son dough to play with to keep him occupied. Incredible service.Kid-friendliness: They gave our son dough to play with which helped keep him calm and occupied while we ate!“
“Met some friends for dinner last Friday night and we had an amazing time. We were seated quickly, even with a party of 6 people, and from then our server Lindsey and the rest of the staff took great care of us. Our drinks, appetizers, and everything else for that matter, came out very fast. We never had to ask for any refills for drinks or anything else. The way the whole staff worked together was amazing, from the manager helping run food/drinks and visiting tables to the support staff clearing tables quickly. And the food was delicious, everything we had from appetizers to desserts were very good. It was a great first visit and it definitely won’t be the last.“
“This pizza is amazing! We were in town for a baseball tournament and decided to try something local. I highly recommend this! The service was great, greeted with smiles from employees, and the food was wonderful. Clean tables and even a play area for little kids!“
“Absolutely Love Joe's Pasta and Pizza on Spring Creek/Custer. Our family favorite. We have been many times, so we love and recommend: Chicken Al Panna, Lobster Ravioli, Creamy Chicken Piccatta as favorites. Their pizzas are huge and the best. Chicken Alfredo Pizza is out of this world, and Meat Lovers is packed with the best meat variety.“
“We enjoyed the pizzas and appreciated the good service. Crusts were very good and had a good crunch without being too bready. We really enjoyed the pizza sauce and the calzones was awesome! The gluten free crust was pretty good also. Toppings were overall solid and tasted fresh. We'd recommend a visit!Vegetarian options: Veggie pizzas availableParking: Large lotKid-friendliness: Kids still love pizza and nuggies, right?“
“Visited on a whim with friends, we WERE NOT disappointed. The layout of the place is confined, and not the best. But that didn't matter with the pizzas we ate. I and 4 other friends enjoyed pepperoni, alfredo, and New Yorker pizzas. We had the meatballs and croissant mozzarella sticks. Alright... so the pizza... it's no joke. It's some of the best I've had in a while. The server (possibly owner?) Described the 48-hour double rising process for their dough. You could taste the quality. Aromatic, crispy, and airy, in just the right way. The sauce that was used was perfect in composition ingredients wise. The alfredo sauce was some of the highest quality I've encountered. It tasted like it was made only a few hours ago. I had a delicious imported sparkling lemonade drink. Overall, it was a slamming dinner. we WILL return. Our rambunctious group was handled with patience and understanding. I am pleased!“
“First off the atmosphere in the restaurant was fantastic. The service was amazing and the staff was super friendly. The food was off the chart though. I had the ravioli with the basil cream sauce and it was quite possibly the best I've ever had. Next time I'm in town I will be coming back!“
“Ordered this for delivery and it was great. Mom and pop pizza places tend to be a hit and miss for me, but this was actually really good and the mini cannolis were some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s a very unassuming spot, but the pizza was top notch. I recommend if you’re looking for a good alternative to the common chain pizzerias.“
“Great small local spot. Some more common traditional dishes and slightly harder to find varieties.Strong recommend on the tortellini cremaMeatball appetizer also very solid. Have had three times now.Default marinera sauce is a little simplistic. If you order eggplant parm or chicken parm, may want to find a way to spice it up.“

“Fresh ingredients, friendly service, and tastes great - what pizza is supposed to taste like! I agree with other reviewers: if you've lived in McKinney awhile and been disappointed with the pizza options, try this place! Better than the rest!“
“Delicious food! Didn’t give the 5th star because more pasta could’ve definitely been included in the chicken parm dish. For dessert, the Tiramisu was great and I should’ve bought two!PLEASE include more pasta in the chicken parm dish!!“
“Walking into "Villa Vinci" on Ballard Ave in the heart of historic downtown Wylie feels like stepping into a well-kept secret. This small trattoria exudes an unpretentious atmosphere that is immediately welcoming, embodying the essence of casual Italian dining. The ambiance, with its aging tables and straightforward setting, might not scream luxury, but it whispers home, comfort, and authenticity.The staff at "Villa Vinci" are at the heart of the experience. Our waiter, Yaya, was a standout, proving that service can make or break a dining adventure. Though his Kurmanji might be better than his Italian, his service was fluent in the universal language of hospitality. Yaya's attentiveness and genuine warmth added a personal touch to our meal, making us feel welcome and part of the family."Villa Vinci" serves up dishes that would make any Italian grandmother proud. I had the eggplant parmigiana, a dish that, in its simplicity, requires a deft hand to perfect. It was sublime; each bite was a harmonious blend of rich sauce, impeccably prepared eggplant, layered over flawlessly cooked spaghetti, all beneath a veil of sumptuously melted cheese that whisked me away to Italy. We left with full stomachs and warm hearts, unanimously agreeing that the experience was delightful.“
“We had ordered several super-large pizza pies for our office luncheon. Apart from the pricing being more economical than other pizza places the flavor and taste was awesome. Felt like they had used fresh ingredients and pizzas were well made. The staff was blown away by the wonderful pizza-experience.“
“We FINALLY found an AUTHENTIC Italian Restaurant in Collin County TX with truly DELICIOUS food! ?I would dare to say that their Cioppino is even better than my Mama’s.*Say it ain’t so Rocco!* ?We really love this little Trattoria and we will definitely be back. ???“
“First time at this restaurant and had a great experience!Jay was our waiter and was friendly, attentive, funny, and fun. He’s amazingThe food was always great! They have soo Many options on their menu also. Jay gave great recommendations.Definitely tied for my favorite Italian restaurant right now!“
“There’s a reason this place has so many great reviews! The food is phenomenal. The service is friendly and they were so kind during our waiting/ordering process. We sat at the bar while waiting for our to go to be red and the sweet red wine that I asked for was delicious! The spaghetti with meat sauce was great without being overly oily like some places can be. The Greek salad has arugula which is CRISP, not wilted at all! The bread is soft with a slight crunch on the top perfect for using to scoop up the bits of meat sauce. My kiddo is who is very particular about her spaghetti LOVED this place! We can’t wait to try more of the menu! We ordered a kids portion meal and it may have been an adult size plate. You get your moneys worth here and it is so flavorful!“
“The best. I used to live two blocks away. Now I drive an hour from Fort Worth for the best calamari in DFW -for real-, yummy pizza, great pasta. Do you know about these old fashioned neighborhood restaurants with generous portions, wonderful service and very reasonable prices?? This is it. So happy they have not become a franchise. I am afraid one day they just might. Just too good. Thanks guys.“
“After some confusion regarding curbside I eventually went inside to pickup the order my son placed online (totally miscommunication on our part). Although it had been sitting for a few minutes and I live a good 10 min away it is pretty freakin amazing! I’ve never had Chicago deep dish before and it’s so tasty and perfectly cooked! Thank you Rosati’s for being awesome!Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly“
“So great! The food was awesome and the staff was even better. We were a large group eating and playing games, and our waiter was amazing. At the end of the evening, he watched us finish our game, and showed genuine interest in what we were playing. I have already told friends we need to go back to eat, wonderful food and amazing service!“
“Stopped here for an evening with friends before enjoying the beautiful downtown McKinney. Decided to go with wine and apps and it was a good choice! Jade took care of us and on her recommendation we tried the Bruschetta and Spinach Dip - both amazing - and added in a little protein with the Meatballs which made it a perfect combo for the three of us!“
“Italia Pizza Shop excels in pizza perfection. Their Cheese Pizza boasts a thin, crisp crust enveloped in a rich, gooey mozzarella blanket, perfectly complemented by a zesty tomato sauce. Meanwhile, the Chicken Pizza is a savory sensation, with succulent seasoned chicken, fresh veggies, and mozzarella melding atop that same impeccable crust. Italia Pizza Shop is a haven for pizza enthusiasts, delivering both classic and inventive options, ensuring a cheesy delight with every bite.“
“It was my first time visiting here. The people there were very welcoming. I tried their pepperoni pizza and a calzone. Since it was my first time there, they gave me a free cinnamon dessert pizza on the house! That was very, very good. It reminded of the cinnamon sticks that Domino's used to have.“
“I heard about this place from a friend of mine so I decided to drove an hour and try something from the menu. I'm so so glad I did!! I ordered the 8pc wings tossed in buffalo sauce and an order of garlic knots and lemme tell you... PHENOMENAL. The garlic knots didn't all make it home bc I ate them in the car and the wings weren't far behind. I'm definitely coming back asap! Both gentlemen working there were so super helpful and friendly to me. I received excellent service with a smile which is rare it seems nowadays. The seating area was so cute and I wanted to sit out there but it was a little chilly out. All in all a FANTASTIC experience and I wanna try so many more things on the menu!“
“Pretty good, local pizza spot that also carries specialty sandwiches. Our crew had the carnivore(9/10), the all meats(9/10),pepperoni(8.5/10), winds(8/10)and gyros(9/10). Very local pizza with their own recipes, that sets them apart from franchises! Good Eats!“
“Did a Build Your Own, Arrived pretty late and still got perfect service by the chef. The pizza tasted amazing i did extra sauce, extra cheese, pepperoni and half mushroom. Total was approximately $24-25. It was so fresh and one of the best tasting pizza's I've had in the Mckinney/Frisco Area. Will definitely come back! Ask for “
“My fav little hole-in-the-wall italian restaurant! I’ve been going here for about 10 years and their food is incredible. Their service is also AMAZING and hospitality is INCREDIBLE! A cute, intimate setting. 10/10 recommend the Lobster Raviolis, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Baked Ziti, Vodka Pasta, Lasagna, Chicken Noodle Soup and their Vodka Pasta. Everything is amazing. I never leave disappointed.“
“Let me just start by saying, wow! Our night at was simply amazing, all thanks to Tina, our incredible server. We rolled in with a big crew of 20 hungry folks, and Tina made sure every single one of us felt like VIPs.Not only did she handle our large group like a pro, but she did it with such warmth and genuine care. It felt like we were being taken care of by a friend rather than just a server. Tina anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them – from refilling drinks to bringing extra napkins, she was on top of it all.And let's talk about the food! It was like a flavor explosion in every bite. Fresh, tasty, and cooked to perfection. Whether you're a meat lover, veggie enthusiast, or somewhere in between, there's something on the menu for everyone. Plus, the portions were hearty, leaving no one at our table hungry.Oh, and did I mention the porch? What a gem! It's spacious enough for a big group like ours, and the atmosphere was just perfect for a laid-back evening with friends and family.When it was time to settle up, Tina made sure everything was split correctly, taking the hassle out of bill-paying. Her attention to detail was truly impressive.Overall, our experience was one for the books. If you're craving delicious food served with a side of top-notch service, do yourself a favor and pay Tina and the team a visit. You won't regret it! We'll definitely be back for more soon.“
“Excellent customer service. Small family owned and operated. Delicious italian dishes. Pizza is top notch. Made with quality ingredients and care. Try the Brazilian options! We drive over an hour to eat Marinara Pizza when we're craving pizza.“
“Family had lunch here to celebrate my granddaughter's 12th birthday. The food was very good, I had Dama Bianca, chicken with sauteed mushrooms, gluten free pasta and Alfredo sauce. It was absolutely delicious! We had an assortment of appetizers that were very good. My whole family enjoyed their meals. The atmosphere is typical Italian restaurant, nothing remarkable. Our waitress was rather quiet but very efficient. The only thing I didn't like was the cannoli, rather than having a nice blend of sweetened ricotta cheese it was more of a gooey over sweet sticky cream of some sort. Having had the real things in Italy it was a bit of a disappointment. Americans put too much sugar in their sweets anyway.“
“Got catering from here 3 times, staff is super nice as are the owners. The food has been excellent every time. We have gotten the baked ziti, penne Alfredo, pizza, salad, and garlic bread rolls. Everyone loves their salad dressing.! at our last party. All our guests kept asking where the food was from, everyone loved it.!Vegetarian options: They are very accommodating for dietary restrictions and making items on the menu vegetarian to fit our needs“
“Brother's has delicious food & wonderful service. My husband always devours the spicy chicken arrabiatta, older son really enjoys the chicken piccata, my toddler loves the kids lasagna, and I love the pizza slices & salads! They are BYOB as well for people who like to eat out. We always leave more than satisfied!“
“This is my favorite Italian restaurant. They have the best customer oriented staff. They are efficient, eager and knowledgeable making them better to serve their guests. Everything that I have tried on their menu has left nothing to be desired! The food is fantastic with generous portions! The restaurant is always clean and inviting. The atmosphere is mellow and alluring. The family pictures along the walls tell the story of how it came to pass. It feels authentic to me. The drinks are delicious and can set the vibe if you imbibe! I would recommend Carrabba's to anyone that wants to tickle their taste buds with rich flavor that satisfies every time.“
“Love eating here! Pretty high dollar experience but my family live this place! When including the entertainment element to your visit it's well worth it to come here. The atmosphere is very fun and laid back. Food comes out fast and the drinks are quickly refilled. Can't afford to come here often but when we do we enjoy our visit enough that it's almost as much about the experience as it is about the amazing food.“
“This was our first time, Justin was our server. The ambience was peaceful but very crowded. Our table was very small for 5 people. The food was delicious but did not come out all together or spread out enough. We were still finishing salads when the entrees arrived. Overall, not a place I will go out of my way for.“
“This place was recommended to me by my barber. It was good, nothing fancy, but solid pasta. They have a lot of different options on their menu. The service was great, our waitress was patient with us and explained the menu well and made good recommendations. The food came out pretty quickly and the portions were big. The garlic bread they served was ok, they were a bit stale, they weren’t fresh.“
“Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We love Italian Villa! The stuffed shells are my favorite! Their bread is so fluffy and yummy. Their house dressing might be the best around! It's so, so good!! The pizza is amazing. I haven't had anything from Italian Villa that I haven't liked ?♀️ BYOB, I believe, but they do have some wines on hand, as well. It's a fantastic, family owned, Italian restaurant! ❤️“
“A lovely fast casual Italian restaurant in West McKinney. Been there many times and never have had a bad experience. Recommended the Zucchini Fries, stuffed Mushrooms, and Chicken pasta dishes. My friends love the pizza and Stromboli, as well as the customizable pasta bowls.“
“Hidden Gem! First time trying this place me and my husband are celebrating 1yr and 3 months together.customer service was amazing, food was very affordable and tasted better than Olive Garden hands down! wasn't crowded either and wall art is amazing. Will definitely be coming back I got fettuccine Alfredo with fried chicken that came with garlic knots and my husband got the calzone, we both didn't finish our meal but we're completely satisfied with our choices.“
“Best Italian food we've ever had.. Husband and I came back to Allen for our 13 years anniversary because this is where we got married. We'll we made the smart choice to stop in at Brio's DID NOT DISAPPOINT.. Our server Colton was amazing and so helpful he recommended our plate and boy was he spot on.. Mind you he was a super great server all together very sweet and super respectful. . Highly recommend ? will definitely be back...“
“I got the $13.49 build your own. Pasta was good, I got the crispy chicken and the angel hair. Chicken was okay. The salad was very good. It was good value for your dollar. All of it was good. None of it was super fantastic that I would remember a month from now.“
“"Exceptional pizza experience! The crust is perfectly crispy, toppings are fresh, and the blend of flavors is mouthwatering. Prompt service and a cozy atmosphere make this pizza shop a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough for anyone craving delicious, Brooklyn pizza!"“
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars for Palios! ?✨ If I could give more stars, I totally would! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the irresistible scent of freshly baked pizza. But it's not just about the food (which is AMAZING, by the way), it's about the fantastic staff who make every visit feel like a special occasion. They're not just serving pizza, they're creating memories. Highly recommend Palios for anyone who wants to experience pizza perfection with a side of heartfelt hospitality! ????“
