I have never been more impressed with flavors in everything! Loved every bite! Radici Wood Fired Grill“

“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.“

“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.“

“What an absolutely fantastic Italian-American restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by how great the pasta was.

Started with the fried calamari and whipped ricotta with garlic bread. The whipped ricotta is an absolute must order and I’ll definitely be getting that again. The calamari was good, but pretty standard fried calamari, although I loved the addition of the chilis.

The portions are absolutely massive, so it’s very easy to share dishes. I got the spaghetti and meatballs and they were an absolute delight. The meatballs were juicy, seasoned perfectly, and had a great texture. You can tell they’re freshly made and use quality meat. Others at my table got the Chicken Parm Vodka and Tortellini Vodka, and both were rich, creamy, and delicious. The Chicken Parm portion was especially huge.

The food here is a 10/10 and I’ll be telling everyone to come here for some great Italian food.

The restaurant itself is charming. The booths are huge and I loved all the photos and paintings on the walls. The Kingdom of Italy flag caught my eye too. Once the sun went down, the atmosphere really started to come alive.

There are a few things I think Barsotti’s could improve on. The bussers seemed a little underdressed for this type of restaurant, and some of their shirts were stained. We were also celebrating a birthday and specifically mentioned it in the reservation, so I was hoping for some acknowledgment. Our waiter was very nice and respectful, but I would have liked a little more interaction and explanation of the menu.

Overall, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. I’ll be coming back and would recommend Barsotti’s to others.“

“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“

“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!“

“Nonna! My love. There was nothing bad here, nothing mid, all superb!! How do I begin to explain how delicious everything was?! Their house bread was salted, soft and immediately made us think of how delicious the pizza dough and crust would be. And of course that was the case. We went with the spicy sausage pizza and it was so good I nearly licked the pizza tray but I was with three other people and was not trying to look crazy. Their squash carpaccio was really good for squash. For pastas we tried Lasagnette al Forno, Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe, and Farfalle Marrone. I’m a picky eater but the mushroom one was the best in my opinion, tonnarelli next and then the lasagna. I’m not a huge tomato sauce person but lasagna was tasty. Now the dessert!! Their pistachio semifreddo was the best possible was to end the night. There was not a flaw in that dessert. I’d go back just for that. Their strawberry shortcake was good and then lemon raspberry last. I’m not a huge tart person but not bad on the lemon raspberry.

Everyone in Dallas should try this place. So wonderful“

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

“We had a wonderful dinner experience at Sachet. We started at the bar with a Mahon Gin cocktail and were seated shortly thereafter. Loved the roasted carrot/hummus swirl with hot pitas and the mozzarella with grilled stone fruit was delicious. Jenny, our server, was outstanding. Our red fish/broccolini/grilled shishito special was fantastic. Loved the wine list (Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas!) and the Amaro. Very enjoyable evening!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Went for my wife's birthday. The food was delicious! The service, amazing! I got the chicken Milanese and my wife got the poblano pasta with chicken added and we both licked the plate clean! Safe to say this was a great dining experience and we will definitely be back!“

“I wanted my pasta order without pasta - for keto / gluten free purposes. They accommodated, were patient with me (going outside of their normal process) , built rapport, and made me want to come back again.

Working the counter on 7/16/26 - absolutely amazing!“

“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❤️“

“Right when you think pizza is pizza - here comes Mister01 with a very delicious and unique pizza! GREAT ingredients. FANTASTIC crust! We tried & loved the Star Luca & Hawaiana pizzas. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Laura salad. Portions were huge, and we have dinner for tomorrow. Try the spicey olive oil on your pizza. The staff is the BEST! First class operation indeed. Aidan was our server - and was so polite, knowledgeable, had solid recommendations - and made the already great experience even better!! We will be regulars! Thanks!!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“Absolutely loved Via Triozzi. Very friendly and knowledgable staff. Warm and cozy atmosphere. My whole group was amazed by the quality and flavors of the food, very reminiscent of meals we’ve had in our favorite restaurants in Italy. Especially loved the ricotta squash and the veal. Looking forward to coming back, especially when the rooftop area is open. Oh, and appreciated the free valet parking.“

“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. ♥️“

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!“

“The food was extremely good. I had the Calamari fir starter, the beef shirt ribs with Chianti and mushroom sauce and mash potatoes. 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.“

“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.“
