50 Best Italian Restaurants near Farmers Branch

“We stumbled upon this gem of a place by accident and will tell everyone i know that they need to take a trip to eat here. Hands down the best restaurant experience I have had. The attention to detail and the old school style of white linen tablecloths pressed and everything set up to perfection, the staff being so attentive, it was an amazing experience . Then you add delicious authentic Italian food, you cannot skip going to this place.“

“Look people… this place is the most amazing food I’ve had in a very long time. Chef Tiffany Derry Is killing it with flavors. From Appetizers to entrees and sides dessert and coffee. It was amazing!!!! Now it’s hard on the budget, and it’s a little loud in the dining room. Make Reservations. BUT we went to eat and IT WAS A ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars!!! I have never been more impressed with flavors in everything! Loved every bite! Radici Wood Fired Grill“

“There's good and bad.

The Bad:
* Legit the worst pineapple pizza I've ever had. They took a dry cheese pizza, heated it up, and then put 2 strips of Canadian bacon and some cold chopped up pineapple on top.

The Good:
* The calzone and pinwheel were awesome. Very cheesy, not dry at all. The calzone itself is worth going for.“

“Impeccable service and unbelievable delicious food!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped by for some lunch and got one of their lunch specials! With a personal pizza and choice of 3 toppings, it was delicious! Definitely recommend getting the roasted smoked garlic as a topping 😁

Cozy little pizza place, perfect space for families and friends. Owner is very kind and welcoming 😊“

“best food and always courteous!! chicken avocado Prada is the best“

“We came for dinner on Saturday night at 7:00. We ended up celebrating a few things so we ordered from their great Italian wine list. To start, we ordered fried ravioli, which is great to share. For entrees, we all ordered the Chicken Parmigiana. The pasta is great but the start of the show is the huge chicken parmigiana. I ate all of mine but there is definitely enough to take some home. Our service was also perfect. She was attentive, but also didn’t come around too much.“

“Love the food- delicious authentic Italian!“

“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“

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

“We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday at Terilli's on Saturday night. We had a party of six, and the team worked very hard to get us in. To say that we had one of the best dining and culinary experiences of our lives is an understatement! We tried Chef Chad's special of the evening - crispy halibut with zucchini noodles in a Calabrian chili and caper beurre blanc. It included sautéed spinach, sundried tomatoes and pine nuts. WOW! All of us who tried it agree that it was the best seafood dish we've ever had! Additionally, my sister-in-law has a lot of seafood allergies and Chef Chad and our server, Luis, were so patient and wonderfully accommodating. In addition to the wonderful food, the service was absolutely superb. Luis gave us a 5-star experience at a level that I would only expect to receive from a Michelin-starred restaurant. He's THAT good. We lacked for nothing and he anticipated everything! We will be back and very soon. I highly recommend for a special occasion or just a fun night out for any size group. Thanks again, Terilli's team. We'll see you soon!“

“Overall we had a great time not just with the environment and the food and drinks, but our waiter was friendly and joined our conversation without forcing himself. The food was great but I would have liked a substitute option for part of my sides but also understand the pairings.“

“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“

“Piada’s will never let you down. The staff however, this one particular young caucasian lady acted as if requesting the toppings I wanted on my wrap was a problem. And let’s not discuss when it was time to add the Alfredo sauce to my pasta, I had to tell her add some more. She acted as if she didn’t want to serve us and she didn’t want to be at work. Piadas do better. Teach your staff customers service, before you lose business.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“the staff is so friendly and helpful. the food is some of the best Italian I've had in years. I haven't tried their pizza but I hear it's great as well. anytime someone wants to meet for lunch or dinner in Las Colinas, every person in my family picks Italian Cafe 100% of the time. plus we love supporting local businesses so it makes it even better. ♥️“

“First off let me say nobody make food like this restaurant. It’s a hole in the wall place with excellent service. The most tasty 👅 food ever. Pizza here is on a whole other level. The owner always comes by and says hi to us. Another thing I love about them the owner never says anything about my youngest bring outside food. My kid has autism so it’s hard to find places to eat where they allow us to enjoy a meal as a family. I love them for that. And the young gentleman cook 👨‍🍳 that always is so sweet and know what we want from the moment we walk in the door 🚪 thanks you for taking amazing care of us. He a staple in the restaurant I’ve seen him ever since we started coming and now it has been two years coming. Thank you guys for the amazing eats and love you show us.“

“Fun experience, friendly efficient staff and good atmosphere.“

“first time ordering and I must say the Chicken Marsala was the best I've had in a long time. So glad I found this place.“

“I am obsessed with this place!! The food, the wine, the vibe check all the boxes for me. Traditional Italian fare and some fun contemporary dishes as well. I love coming here for special occasions when I still am looking for delicious comfort food. My only regret is that I didn’t know about it sooner!“

“Love my seafood pasta from here“

“First time here but a little surprised with entrance after knew the reason and more understood. great atmosphere, waiters were friendly. My food, Pasta was great. Just a little slow with my drinking water. I would be back again and love to sit at the bar.“

“Been a favorite since the 70's! Go by every chance we can! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is our new favorite Italian restaurant. It's a gem in West Plano. There is plenty of free parking right out front, in a lovely area. The interior of the restaurant is clean, stylish, bright, and cheery. We had superb service from the moment we entered the restaurant. We started with wine from a very good wine list, and the warm, freshly baked bread, of course. The shrimp scampi was excellent, featuring large, perfectly cooked shrimp in a delicious garlic and butter sauce, accompanied by garlic-toasted bread. The veal Marsala was top-notch, with a generous portion and great flavor. Perhaps the best marsala I've had. The Italian creme cake was a great way to finish the meal. Highly recommended!“

“Our food was exceptionally delicious tonight!!! Definitely recommend“

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

“Went to Lamberti’s for lunch with a group of 13 colleagues, and we had a great experience. The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. What really stood out was the service — our server, Prit, was excellent! She was professional, attentive, and handled our large group with ease and a great attitude.

It’s not easy managing a table that size, but she made sure everything ran smoothly. Definitely a place I’d recommend for both small outings and larger groups.“

“I spent my Birthday here and it was amazing! The food was delicious the service was great and the atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommend“

“Great, friendly restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. Although not on the menu, make sure to ask for the WEDGE SALAD!! (It’s usually on the specials menu, and it is outstanding!)“

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

“From appetizers to desserts, Parma's exceeded all our expectations! Our entire party enjoyed the appetizers, the variety of delicious dishes! Their wings and calamari was a crowd-pleaser! Their portions are plentiful. I hosted my son's graduation dinner there. The staff at Parma's went above and beyond to make our experience memorable, with exceptional service that made us feel truly welcomed. The ambiance and food received high praise from all attendees, making Parma's a highly recommended dining destination.“

“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!“
