“I am new to the Dallas and surrounding areas and just learned about this place. Delightfully Delicious, 5 ⭐️’s across the board ! Satisfied customer 👍🏾🥙“

“My husband and I absolutely love this place! Excellent service and the food is outstanding! So delicious. Highly recommended!“

“We loved our dinner at Roman Cucina.

We had a party of 6, with 2 late, and they sat us right away, no problem. Some restaurants make you wait until your entire party arrives, so i appreciate when we are able to sit and begin our orders.
Service was VERY attentive. I don’t think we had an empty glass or bread basket at any point through the night.
Ambiance was cute and cozy, a little romantic.
It was quiet enough to hear our party conversation, but not whisper quiet. A good place for groups, I’d say.
Everyone loved their pasta. We all ordered a different meal and no one was disappointed.
Prices were a little high but each dinner could feed two.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere is great. But the added touch by the owner and staff is what makes this restaurant such a jewel. Benny, Bona, Tony, Mateo and Lita are so attentive to their patrons needs it makes the dinning experience incredible.“

There are quite a few different food options in this food truck area, and every time I go, I can’t seem to peel myself away from getting their pizza. Their service is fantastic and they are extremely friendly and kind. I highly recommend!“

“Ok so, I finally got to try this place and it is exactly what I’ve heard, maybe even better because I always think everybody talks about good game. But WOW, I already made plans to go back again in a couple of days. I mean, your chicken Picotta w/extra capers is a definite must have again but come on, what’s your PIZZA like? I can’t wait, my pallet is still tingling from the last meal! 😋🤤“

“Calamari is the House specialty. Pasta dishes are good.“

“I use to get my pizza from a national chain headquartered in Plano but the pizzas quality were inconsistent . I finally called it quit when corporate told me my expectations were too high. I tried Marinara and kicked myself for waiting so long. Ingredients are much higher quality, taste is great and service was outstanding. They have many unique combinations that I never would have thought of using on a pizza. I will definitely order from them again.“

“Went there the other day and loved the host Rosy!! She was so sweet when we walked in and when she sat us down asking how our day was she was very heart warming!😃Iv came here so much but she was the nicest one!! After our meal when me and my family were leaving she also asked how our meal was🥰Super nice girl. Love this restaurant 10/10 everybody she come here at least once!!“

“I found out that this location has closed but I believe another location owned by the same family is called Amoretto Italian Restaurant off of Spring Creek Pkwy. Anyway, the food my family and I have had here has always been fresh and delicious! We're sad to see the closer location to us shut down but we will visit Amoretto soon! highly recommend! 5 out of 5!“

“I live in Sherman, and if I really want Olive Garden, I travel here. Food is ten times better, atmosphere is ten times better, and service is fifty times better. This location is probably the only chain that I would put with non chain restaurants on my list of favorites.“

“Here to say we've ordered a variety of items from Dough a half dozen times now and they have proven to be consistently delicious 🍕. Tonight we had a pepperoni jalapeno pizza and a veggie alfredo pizza. Yum!“

“We had fun at Fontina Italian Restaurant in downtown McKinney last night. Fun area, neat building, great food and great service. It reminds us of downtown McKinney from 10-15 years ago, in the sense that it wasn’t super packed and it has a quaint feel.“

“still dreaming about the incredible Italian feast I devoured at Sali’s Italian! From the moment we walked in, the gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and welcoming, the recommendations he made were spot on! The food... oh, delicious! We started with fried calamari with marinara sauce (my favorites), some heath Italian bread soft to perfection and bursting with fresh herbs and olive oil. The pasta dishes we ordered (Lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo) were cooked al dente and smothered in rich, creamy sauces. Dessert? Tiramisù, of course! Creamy, coffee-infused, and utterly divine. I’ll get back soon just to indulge with dessert! In short, Sali’s is a must-visit for any Italian food lover. Great service, authentic flavors. Happy to have found a piece of Italy in McKinney. We'll be back for more!“

“Food was excellent, atmosphere is very intimate and quiet. Cool place.“

“My family, friends, and I enjoy Soprano’s very much. They have delicious pizza, salads, soups, and wings. We love to order the chicken alfredo calzone with spinach.

I highly recommend this restaurant and enjoy Alma’s amiable and friendly attention to our large parties of 10-20 people.

Great, family-friendly restaurant.“

“First time here
I can give them four stars in total.
But the garlic bread we ordered wasn't even close to garlic bread.It just looked like a bread with butter.
The cheese bread was good .Also we ordered spinach calzone it was just ok .“

“This is my local Olive Garden and it is beautiful but this day I don't know what happened with their tablets, they were giving the orders wrong and it took a long time for me to fill up from eating many bread sticks but it was the first time they offered me marinade or Alfredo sauce for the bread sticks so 10/10 the food as always exceptional the waitress very beautiful I also give this visit a 7.5/10“

I have tried to make it at home but it was always ok . My hats off to everybody there, you all did great!“

“This is my go to italian restaurant because the food is absolutely delicious, great service, and a nice, romantic atmosphere. The aragosta (lobster ravioli) is amazing. Wish they would bring back pizza. Been like 5 years since they said their oven broke lol. But other than that no complaints. Best italian restaurant in collin county.“

“Palio Pizza Cafe in McKinney, Texas, offers a delightful dining experience, especially when it comes to their Harabara Chicken pizza, which tastes fantastic. The service is decent, and the atmosphere adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal. While I only experienced their takeout service, which was efficient, I imagine dining in would provide an even better glimpse into their offerings. Overall, Palio Pizza Cafe is a great spot for delicious pizza in McKinney.“

“Had lunch here and tried their flatbread pizza ( the veggie and chicken with pineapple) and it was soo delicious. The staff was so kind and attentive and the restaurant was clean. I definitely recommend this spot!“

“We can't say enough great things about A Roma! After being in Italy over the holidays we got spoiled and have been in search of better Italian food and this place is it! We seriously had the best meal ever and their pizza was perfect! CC (Chandler) was our server and she was incredibly attentive (yet not hovering), knowledgeable, very pleasant and polite! Best service and best food we've had in a long time and the price was very fair! It's a must to check out!“

“Everything was very delicious, we loved the place. good atmosphere and food.“

“So happy that AZ's best pizza has come to Texas!! This place is amazing. The pizza dough is thick and delicious, the cheese stretches, the sauce is so good. The lunch deals have unbeatable prices, but even for dinner, it's so worth it. I love Barro's!“

“The best pizza outside of Italy!“

“Came here for a quick bite, able to be seated fast with no reservation, and served drinks right away. After ordering, food was brought out soon, and refills taken care of. Initial serving of breadsticks was plenty for the table of three, with no extras needed.“

“Nice ambiance, great food. The music guests were awesome last night.“

“This is hands down my favorite spot for pizza and stromboli! They’re generous with the toppings, and the crust has a flavor that stands out from the rest. It’s truly a hidden gem. The prices are very reasonable, especially compared to other pizza places, and it’s locally owned and operated. Definitely worth a try!“

“Amazing food! A real gem of a place! I have celiac and they can make anything gluten free! Big portions, good prices and very friendly staff! The owner Briljant is super nice and accommodating! 5 ⭐️s“

“We ate La Bella Italian Grill & Pizzeria with the family and it was delicious as usual! Great food, great service, and great prices! This is definitely my go to favorite Italian restaurant as of recent! Also, this is a great place to relax and watch the games as they have multiple tv’s showing the top football games of the day! They also boast a decent selection of wines and beers for your relaxing enjoyment! Tonight I had the Meat Calzone, and my wife and daughter shared a cheese pizza! 🍕 Washed down with a delicious (couple of glasses of) sweet tea! If you haven’t already been to La Bella Italian Grill & Pizzeria, I definitely recommend, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“I’ve been all over the world and this is my favorite local restaurant. The owner here is so wonderful and his staff are incredible. This is a great place to dine alone or with good company. I love their wine selection, lobster ravioli, chicken Napoli and fried ravioli most of all. I’ve been coming here for over a decade for so many reasons. They aim very high to please and they never miss!“
