Everything was just as delicious, fresh, and high‑quality as what you serve in your dining room. Our guests raved about the food, and we couldn’t have been happier with how beautifully everything turned out. You helped make the day truly special!“

“Grimaldi's got its start in Brooklyn before spreading out around the country, including a handful of branches around Dallas. We recently dined at their this place at The Shops in Highland Village. This branch offers a large indoor seating area as well as a bar and is open from 11am until 10 or 11pm daily. They have a fairly typical menu of starter salads along with their signature thin-crust, coal-fired brick over pizzas which we found to be generally good during on the evening. Shared a couple of different varieties with custom topping choices, one of the pizzas crust was perfect, the other fairly soggy but overall it tasted good. Salad served up with our meal was similarly decent, nothing amazing nor bad - just decent salad. We thought the large pizzas made for good family-friendly and casual meal out with friends.“

“Oscar was a fantastic server and very knowledgeable about the history of the owner, restaurant and food! This was THE BEST pizza we have ever had! We loved the atmosphere and 59s/60s music. When we come back to the Dallas area we will definitely come here again!“

“My gang is from NJ, we were looking for decent Italian food (of course!) never imagined this amazing place! Food was perfect, server Jeremy a sweetheart! Oscar, thank you for the free drinks and hanging out with us! Texas is blessed to have this little gem of a 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!“

“The Best Italian Dining Experience in Denton! Osteria il Muro is an absolute gem! From the moment we walk in, James, the manager, greets us with genuine warmth and excitement, making us feel like long‑lost friends every time. Elsa is an absolute treasure — she treats us like family and delivers the best service we’ve ever had. And the chef? An absolute artist! Every dish is a masterpiece, from the delicate scallop crudo to the savory tri‑tip special, and the desserts… I’m not exaggerating when I say they make me want to cry — they’re that delicious. We never want to leave this magical place. A true five‑star experience from start to finish!“

“Recently I had a surprise birthday party for my wife Mary. Owners Mike his wife Ruby son Bes and daughter-in-law Red made the occasion truly a night to remember! They have a beautiful private room in the back of the restaurant and all the food that was prepared was excellent! The Service was first rate. They were very accommodating in letting my friends and Family decorate for the party. The bartender is a fine young man named Steven who is so respectful and helpful, a true asset to the establishment! My wife and I dine at Genti's often and have tried many different dishes and never disappointed! This is a true gem in the area and would highly recommend whether having a wonderful Dinner in the restaurant, having a party or ordering take out. You will truly enjoy!!“

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.“

“We celebrated our anniversary last night at Graffiti Pasta. It was our first but definitely not our last dining experience there. From the moment we walked in the door to a very packed restaurant to the moment we left we were acknowledged & taken care of. Faith was our waitress & let me tell you, I have NEVER had a more amazing server. She knew so many things about the menu, was able to offer suggestions without being pushy, she was simply friendly, & just overall such a cool person. I would honestly come back just to see her. The meatball appetizer was our favorite part of the meal followed by the salad.“

“Had a to go order. The chicken and gnocchi soup had no chicken or gnocchi and it was juicy broth and some veggies. I understand if it’s the end of the batch. But don’t serve that to someone who’s paying for it please. I also feel like they don’t give enough dressing per the amount of lettuce they give you since it’s prepackaged I get it. The food Alo’s did come cold. And it was a $6 drive back to the house in a sealed container in a closed bag. Maybe ordering to go just isn’t the best option.

Vegetarian options: So vegetarian options available

Kid-friendliness: Yes of course- very family friendly!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair accessible. Tested it myself!“

“I have to brag about this place I ordered here first time and have to say I am definitely hooked!!!! You have found a long time customer!!! Thanks for yummy and great service!!!!!!“

“Overall I felt like the dish composition of this place lived up to its reputation of being a higher-end restaurant in terms of the food. The service was relatively decent, but overall there were a few things that made me give an overall rating of only three stars. First, I made a reservation for ONE at 7:30, showed up around 7:20, and was not seated until 7:35-7:40. I can understand a larger group's reservation not being ready on time but I felt like I shouldn't have had to wait for my reservation for one individual (misses the point of a reservation.) Second, I was REALLY looking forward to starting off with some mussels, which are listed on the online menu, but they were not on the menu when I dined. Third, for whatever reason, the food I received was SUPER salty. I usually love salt but both dishes I ordered had way too much. Finally, while the visual ambience and cleanliness of the restaurant was nice, it was super loud. I had to shout just so I felt like the waiter could hear me. Between an iced tea, salad, entree and tip for one person was $60 and felt like it was overvalued for the overall experience. However, I have certainly been to worse places.“

“Great food great staff very friendly“

“love the CALZONE...................................“

“Great food! Great people! Reasonably priced.“

“This was my first trip to this hidden gem! Pizza was fantastic, and my favorite Italian dessert, Limoncello cake, was top notch. Found my new favorite pizza place!!!“

“Great small place with a big personality inside! Some arcade cabinets including TMNT and T2 judgement day for paying customers. Calzones are great with really good toppings to choose from. Not ideal to dine in but shouldn't stop you from ordering and checking out the nice collection of video games inside!“

“Big slice pizza is good for you“

“This is just great pizza. Over the years I've stumbled across great pizza places before, and I've been looking for it for the last several years. This place was suggested to me, and wow they were right. It checks all the boxes for great pizza and is worth the drive for me.“

“Ordered for 6 everyone loved their food except me. My eggplant parm was like rubber. Maybe it was old? Aside from the eggplant texture the flavors of the dish were good. I tasted a bit of everyone else's and it was also fine.“

“I live in the area and was craving some good fajita beef tacos. This place did not dissapoint! The meat was so flavorful and the tortillas made from scratch are great. Being from Phoenix, AZ i know a good taco place when i see it. This place is very good, and apparently their menudo is amazing, will try next time!“

“I ordered delivery and a young man, last name Perkins called to verify my order. That's customer service.“

“Delicious pizza!! So glad we found this place in our neighborhood!!“

“Delicious, clean, friendly“
