50 Best Italian Restaurants near Little Elm

“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!“

“Person at the front desk was very polite, but I did see a very rude DoorDash driver come in? That sounds like the person who left the latest review.

Food was delicious at a great family friendly price which is harder and harder to come by these days. Really enjoyed the mushroom pizza. Definitely a nice break from the pace of places around Frisco.“

“My son and I ate here Saturday afternoon, there weren’t busy at all. Perfect time to go. The food was unbelievable! We ordered a 13” pizza each and left stuffed. We also had the appetizer platter with the cheese and sliced meats. I think this might be my new “Last meal in earth” I can’t wait to eat here again. Not traditional American pizza, but absolutely worth a try. Loved the oils and balsamic vinegar addition to the pizzas. My only regret was not having room for desert.“

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

“The best Italian in Texas! I’m highly impressed with the food, presentation, and staff. You must try everything by becoming a regular here. Great for family dinner, date night, or a business dinner.“

“Delicious food! Super fresh!!“

“I saw this place reccomended on TikTok and decided to try it out and do not regret it! The place was lovely and our server, Luigi, I believe his name was, was absolutely incredible. Super friendly and attentive despite us not being his only table. Everything in the restaurant was clean and pretty, and the atmosphere was inviting. The food was incredible, and I particularly enjoyed the tiramisu. The strawberries that came with it was just so delicious and balanced the whole meal out. My boyfriend and I couldn't stop talking about it once we left. Overall, hidden gem! I will definitely be back“

“We cannot thank Tony’s Pizza & Pasta enough for their incredible support of the Morningside Elementary Glow Dance this past Friday, April 10! It was such a joy partnering with a team that is not only generous but also incredibly efficient and professional. The pizza was absolutely amazing—fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with everyone at the event! They made the entire process seamless, allowing us to focus on creating a fun and memorable experience for the kids and families. We are so grateful for their partnership and will definitely be back—not just as customers, but as proud partners for future events. Highly recommend!“

“I love Testa! It’s been my favorite restaurant since moving to Texas. The food is incredibly authentic, fresh and healthy, and the flavors are so authentic—it truly reminds me of the pizza in Italy. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. Testa never disappoints and is always my go-to when I want something delicious and real. 💙“

“MY wife and daughter's, son, son in law's and grandchildren (11) of us had lunch there today. Louis who took our reservation and had our table ready when we walked in was awesome. He took care of us too. The food was excellent, portions large , and service great. Would recommend for any family dining experience or couples who want to try. The prices were reasonable too. Plus it's BYOB. Happy Thanksgiving to all!“

“This Italian place is a game-changer. I've tried many others, but this one stands out from the crowd. Authentic flavors, perfectly cooked pasta, and warm service. It's a must-visit for Italian food lovers!“

“Lombardi's catered my wife's birthday party at our home and did an incredible job. Chef went way out of his way and prepared the BEST spread I could have ever imagined. George came and helped serve and tended bar. He was so gracious and everyone loved him. Can not say enough about how happy my wife was. We are always treated like royalty when we dine in the restaurant. If you have a house party these are the go to folks to make it special. Pepe, George, Stefan and the rest of the A Team. Thank you. You are all special to us!“

“Their food is fantastic and the staff is exceptional!! This is one of our favorite restaurants!!“

“Finally got to try this place after living in the area for 25 years. The pecan crusted chicken was amazing and the Italian style family service reminded me of being in Italy 🇮🇹 😋 Everyone enjoyed their meals and we celebrated a birthday for and amazing lady who is 85 years young.“

“Pizza vibe is one of my favorite hangout spots. The pizza is incredibly delicious and worth every bite. I also love the hookah sessions here; unlike other places, they last for a couple of hours. Whether you’re looking for takeout or a dine-in experience, Pizza vibe is a great place to have a good time with friends.“

“We recently used this Olive Garden for catering a dinner event for more than 100 people, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Devon and Logan were exceptional so helpful, organized, and attentive throughout the entire process. Everything was set up smoothly, which made a big difference in keeping such a large event stress-free.

Managing an event of that size is no small task, but the team handled everything with professionalism and care. They made sure all the details were covered and that everything was ready on time, which gave us complete peace of mind.

We truly appreciated their support and will absolutely be using them again in the future!“

“I am a rare person who does not use social media. I don't write reviews. But after a wonderful dinner, our family was served last Saturday night, something needed to be said. My son-in-law and I are fortunate to share a birthday. Kathy and I have wanted to try Crudo's for about a year. Last Saturday, we were joined by our two daughters and son-in-law, plus our grandkids. So three generations were there. We each agree it was the most memorable experience we have had in a very long time. Ernesto did a great job serving fantastic meals and desserts. I love that the atmosphere is welcoming and quiet enough that we could actually talk with one another. But what happened after dinner really sticks with me. Ari, the owner, chased me down in the parking lot to again wish me Happy Birthday and say how much he appreciated spending it with my family. That was amazing. We will be back again and again.“

“Really cute comfy little restaurant with yummy food. My husband and I recently moved up here and we've had to sample all the local places for date nights. I got the chicken parmigiana sub and my husband had the chicken roll. They were both giant and absolutely delicious and worth the price. I'm not someone to claim to be a critic or gordan Ramsey but I did enjoy everything we had here. In addition the young man who waited on us was thorough in checking that all our food was not cooked with peanuts or tree nuts since my husband has anaphylaxis. I'll return and try some of the pasta next time“

“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!!“

“We tried the Gallo Nero food today. The two women that greeted us at the front door were so polite and helpful. We had ordered a pizza and piece of cake to go and we decided eat on the patio. They brought out a high chair for my infant daughter and brought out all the food to the patio. It was such wonderful dining experience. The wife and I rarely get to go on a date with young kids but this was not only amazing food but awesome service. I will be back again with more friends and family.“

“Great food & service! Highly recommend the chicken parm & chicken Madeira!“

“Lovely ambiance, nice people. Fresh, unique. quality ingredients. We love it! ❤️“

“The food is always amazing. Everything on the menu is cooked with love and attention to detail. If it’s your first time to visit ask the waiters for their recommendations. Bardha recommended Chicken Murphy to me and it’s been one of my favorites ever since. The owners are so kind. Great place to visit time and again, and one of the best classic Italian restaurants in Frisco. Highly recommended“

“Last nights was our first time to eat here. We were looking for a nice place to eat for Valentine’s dinner and I googled and found this place. It was perfect! Great prices, delicious food and great service! We will be back and bringing another couple or two with us! ❤️🍷😋“

“Fantastic music. Great vibe. Drinks are on point and the service was amazing, even on a busy Friday night.“

“Had my daughter’s baby shower here today. Food was awesome and they took great care of us.“

“Definitely a family favorite, they take care in preparing the best food with the best ingredients and I really enjoy chatting with the owners and staff here!“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“First time visiting and can’t wait to come back. Everything was amazing and service was top notch! Very impressed!“

“Quartino Ristorante Grandscape is a must visit! The food is excellent here, nice cocktails, nice beer selection, and GREAT wine selection! Dinning and Brunch are fabulous, but the Happy Hours are spectacular, especially on Wednesday where their incredible wines (glass or bottle) and delicious pizzas are half off! Great service whether sitting in the dining room or at the very nice spacious bar, the service is unbeatable and if you get the pleasure of having Mikayla as your server, then you are in for a treat because she is top notch at her craft and you will enjoy your time there even more! You Go Mikayla!!“

“Best meatball sub anywhere. Layla is awesome upfront also!!“

“Absolutely incredible meal! The pizza margherita was top-notch and honestly transported us straight back to Italy, the crust and sauce were spot on.

The bolognese was phenomenal, and the spicy rigatoni vodka had the perfect kick without being overwhelming. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was lovely and the service was truly exceptional. This place is a gem!“

“meet the sweet lady LINA . good service ..friendly atmosphere.. good food ... definitely going back again.“

“Got the Shrimp scampi and the asparagus is now less than ever. Just short sticks. Different than before. Pls fix this as otherwise everything was good.“

“Friendly staff will keep you coming back“

“Our entrees, Filet and Shrimp and Rainbow Trout was great, so we're the starters, meatballs and Tomatoes with Caprisis cheese. Big miss on no free bread, only option $14 garlic bread. No veggies with the entrée, worst yet the only side veggie was butternut squash. Server did not point this out.“

“Not only was the food fantastic, but I had the best experience with the kindest woman over the phone. After an issue ordering online, she went out of her way to ensure my order was just what I wanted, and that small gesture may have just made my night! Thecar dressing was amazing. My Mediterranean pizza, with chicken added, was incredible. And the vanilla cannoli, oh my goodness. Incredible service, friendly staff, delicious, fresh food.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We’re regulars at Legacy Food Hall every Sunday after church, and with so many great food spots to choose from, The Italian Job Pizza has become a favorite! 🍕 Their pizza is thin, crispy, and loaded with cheesy goodness. My son can’t get enough of the fried cheese bites, and my go-to is always a fresh, flavorful pepperoni slice. The quality and flavor keep us coming back week after week—highly recommend if you’re at Legacy!“

“Everything was great. Bakery was awesome“

“I have always loved Campisi's lasagna. so I decided to take my 2 girls. my oldest ordered chicken parmesan and my youngest ordered chicken Alfredo. when they brought the chicken parmesan the chicken was burnt to a crisp. the waitress walked off very quickly like she knew we were going to complain. then she proceeded to ignore us until I got another waitress to get our waitress back. we didn't even have to say anything she knew right away the chicken was bad. and she got us another one. the difference in the two was amazing. when she brought us our receipt she said she didn't charge us is m for the chicken it works be on her. but what she meant was she didn't charge us for the replacement chicken. other than that my lasagna was delicious and my other daughter loved her chicken Alfred.“

“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!!!!!!“
