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! 😋🤤“

“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!“

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 .“

“Went for dinner with my sister on a busy Monday evening. Haven’t been to an Olive Garden in a while, because the past few visits had subpar food and service. However, tonight hit the mark on all accounts. Huge shoutout to our server Rooney. He had a busy section, but was still extremely attentive and personable. Amazing service and the food was great as well. Ask for Rooney next time, you won’t regret it.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“The food was crazy delicious and came out quickly. Our water was knowledgeable about all the dishes and when asked about recommendations, he told us his favorites and what most other peoples favorites were. Based on his recommendations, we all ordered something different and no one of us four were disappointed. Our drinks never got below halfway so that was bonus points for me.
Would highly recommend this place and will definitely go back there again when I'm in town..“

“To the manager at Napoli's in Wylie. I want to compliment you on your staff and the service I received the last couple of times I've been there throughout the Christmas holidays. These young people were very friendly to all customers both in person and on the telephone. They were busy about their task at hand. I never saw them cutting up or just standing around. They were all working. I want to give a special compliment to Joseph our waiter who checked on us several times throughout our meal even though it was crowded. He was very kind and respectful.And also to Caitlin or Kaylan who took my phone order. She was very friendly and helpful. If you have the funds I think these young people deserve a reward of some kind. Thank you for hiring and training your employees to treat customers in the way they would like to be treated. Have a great holiday season.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!!“
