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.“

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.
The service is like going to New York and the food is too.
Family owned, the cheese and crust are exceptional and I always get the supreme with a crisp diet coke.
I'll literally cry if they ever close.
I love the entire family and crew.“

“Impeccable service and unbelievable delicious food!“

“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! 🍝❤️“

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

“Hi! I visited your business online and noticed your website could be improved and modernized.

I actually built a new redesigned website concept for Paparazzi Pizza — clean, modern and more visually appealing to customers. I made it for free because I believe your pizza deserves the same strong presence online as it does in person.

I also noticed a nearby competitor Pollo Salsa has a cleaner website, and I thought it would be great for Paparazzi Pizza to stand out even more with something better and more professional.

If you like what I created, all I ask in return is a short testimonial — no payment required.
I'm happy to help you grow, update the site further, and make your online presence stronger.

You can contact me anytime — I’d love to hear your opinion.
Thank you for reading, and wishing you all success! 🍕🔥“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“This was a fabulous place with mob movie vibe. The appetizer was the best garlic bread I have ever had and the in house ricotta cheese was perfect. I had the veal parm. I could have used a little more mozzarella cheese and a little kick in the sauce but it was delicious.“

“The food... EXCELLENCE!!!🍴🍷🍴“

“Love the food- delicious authentic Italian!“

“Nice atmosphere.. Staff is attentive ...Meal was spot on!“

“I came to Piada with a friend and we loved it although I have been here plenty of times I wanted my friend to experience this establishment. I am vegetarian and they have options for us lol this place is a chill spot with relaxing music. I will be back“

“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.“

“Experience was 10/10. Fully engaged staff that was attentive and extremely nice. The sommelier Johnny was outstanding and our waitress Gabby never missed a beat. All the food was completely fresh and very fast. Great experience for my first time and will be back. Worth the 35 min drive!“

“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“

“Mo is amazing! Ask for him as your server!“

“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. ♥️“

“We’ve been eating here for a few years. The new owners have definitely earned their reputation for amazing food and friendly service.“

“Staff was friendly from the moment we entered, ambiance was cozy and elegant, and food and drinks were perfect. At the end of the night, Lynae stopped by to say hi and was just the sweetest. My partner and I will definitely be back!“

“Nonna has some of the best food in Dallas. Their chef is outstanding. The chef nails the classics, while also bring a rustic, yet modern, innovative approach to a beautifully executed menu. The wine selection is strong, but the food is the best Italian in Dallas. Cannot speak highly enough about the GM, David.“

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

“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!“

“Loved DeEva! First time at the place for a valentine dinner with my wife! She got the salmon which she loved, i didn't like the veal so i sent it back but the owner came back asking what else they could do for me which i said loved the salmon and they brought it out to me! Me and my wife are definitely gonna go back the service and food was amazing! Also the love entertainment was amazing as well!“

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

“Amazing atmosphere, food, and service overall. Prit, who was our server, was extremely kind and friendly, letting us know our options and was accommodating in every way possible. Saying we would return here isn’t enough in my opinion, it is because of this place; my afternoon was the best it could possibly be.“

“Can't say enough good things about this place! Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Would be a great spot for a date night. Romantic feel but still casual. Very reasonably priced. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Thanks for the hospitality today at lunch. Great place to cool off and eat after our performance at Heritage Park there in Irving.“

“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“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Sachet. Even without reservations, the restaurant manager, Belen, went above and beyond to make sure we were seated and well taken care of. Her warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for the evening, and the customer service throughout our visit was top notch.

The drinks were excellent. My Aperol Spritz was perfectly balanced, and my husband enjoyed a lovely Nebbiolo from their thoughtfully curated wine list.

The food was incredible across the board. The roasted cauliflower with citrus, olives, black chickpeas, hummus, and almond gremolata was bursting with flavor and easily one of my favorite takes on roasted cauliflower. The marinated olives were the perfect starter and paired beautifully with our drinks. The tagliatelle with lump crab, fresno chile, marcona almonds, and mint was rich, elegant, and cooked perfectly. The Texas Wagyu steak frites was incredibly tender and a true standout.

Every bite was memorable and absolutely worthy of a return visit. We loved our experience so much that, at Belen’s recommendation, we also dined at their sister restaurant, Gemma. If you’re looking for elevated Mediterranean cuisine with exceptional service, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back.🤗“
