“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.“

“Arguably some of the best pizza in town if not the best. True new york pizza 🍕 big slices that are sold by the slice at 7.25 a slice. The flavor is amazing. If you're from New York/new jersey area and want a taste like back home this is a place you can go to“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and fast friendly service!“

“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! 🍝❤️“

“The food... EXCELLENCE!!!🍴🍷🍴“

“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.“

“It was a great experience. My family and I came by to celebrate Mother's day for my wife. She loves italian food. They kept the dishes pretty authentic to italian American cuisine. I had the bolognese lasagna. Pasta tasted as if the made it in house. Wife got the pasta and gravy. She LOVED it. Baby got French toast. She loved it. We had to get canoli's. They were delicious as well.“

“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 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“

“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❤️“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We just visited for the first time. Nik was our server and did a fabulous job. The atmosphere was amazing , beautiful live music, and amazing food ! Definitely a place we will go again! The only thing that dampered the mood a bit was another server. While she was a gorgeous and stunning young lady, her attitude and unprofessional display on dining room floor directed at our server, and noticed by all in attendance, was appalling. These types of acts can ruin a beautiful atmosphere and the reputation of your business. Definitely needs to be addressed!“

“Nona’s in Dallas was absolutely incredible. As a vegetarian, I was in heaven with the number of options available. Everything we tried tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The pasta was some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had—hands down. Every side dish was mouthwatering, filled with fresh herbs and bright, vibrant flavors.

The entire meal felt comforting, elevated, and memorable. It is rare to find Italian food that feels this fresh and satisfying, especially with so many vegetarian-friendly choices. Overall, I highly recommend Nona’s and would absolutely go back to experience it all over again. Five stars!“

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

“Drinks were spot on! The menu was awesome! Great variety. Dish of the day was prepared wonderfully! All the flavors went together great. Service and staff couldn’t have been better. Thomas the server took great care from word go! Will be back.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an amazing experience! The service was professional, friendly, and exceeded my expectations. Communication was excellent from start to finish, everything was handled efficiently, and I felt valued as a customer throughout the entire process. It’s hard to find people who genuinely care about providing quality service these days, but that definitely shows here. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy experience. I will definitely be returning and referring others!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

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

“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. ♥️“

The ribs was fall off the bone tender, and Lemonchello cream cake with fresh black coffee and prices are very good (<$65). Everything was very tasty and I will definitely be coming back and recommend this restaurant for all occasions.“

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!“

“fresh food and tasty! good atmosphere“

“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.“

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

“I was a vendor here setting up a few items for a client & I had a great experience from start to finish. Nice venue & excellent customer service. Would recommend“

“You have to come here and ask for Dom, great personality and great service, i go to all type of restaurants and never had such a great service, charming and very welcoming guy, he gave us tips on what we could get as it was our first time in the place, always checking on us, he seems to care about his tables and i couldn't ask for more, this was not the last time im coming to lamberti's and its all because of him!“

“We were having a really nice time until two very loud parties were sat on either side of us. I’d say it wasn’t the restaurants fault, but we made early reservations and it was just two of us, so they could have put us somewhere a little less in the middle of large groups. Otherwise it was just about perfect.“

“Luis was an amazing server and made our experience wonderful. He was very attentive and never left our drinks empty. The food was very tasty and fresh. We ordered the bruschetta, fried provolone, rigatoni, shrimp pasta and salmon pesto pasta and tiramisu and it was all so delicious! We will definitely be coming back and asking for Luis.“
