Italian Restaurants near Lucas

“I have been to 4 different Palio's, and this one is the best! The one closest to me in Fairview has a pungent smell of Fabuloso mopping solution, and even though I get the food to-go, they scent usually curbs my appetite. I am shocked no one else has complained about it! Aside from that though, the pizza at this Palios was excellent and cooked to perfection! The employees were also very customer oriented. A++ experience for sure!“

“First of all when you walking in the door the customer service was amazing! The food was great! I had the buffalo 14 inch pizza the chicken was so flavorful. I picked up an individual piece of chicken and ate it, and it tasted like smoked chicken. Definitely not frozen chicken. I also liked the fact that the buffalo sauce was not over powering. A friend of mine had the five meat with jalapenos added. He said he wanted a lot of jalapenos and they did not disappoint. Granted he did get double jalapenos and it was a 3$ extra charge but like I said they did not disappoint. My wife got the Manhattan and added pineapple. She did say the pineapple had a funny taste to it so she just picked them off. But still overall she was satisfied with her pizza. Garlic knots phenomenal!!!!!! Me and my family will absolutely be coming back to this place.“

“Wine selection is extensive (see photos), good service and great Italian food!My husband went out to celebrate a good event and ate at Mangia Bistro. This restaurant has a very experienced chef in the kitchen named Artur who owns this restaurant. His specialty is recommending a bottle of wine from his selection or suggesting a selection from his menu. Look at the choices, you might need his help! We ate Italian standards which might be boring to some, but this was delicious for us. If you like to order something new I'm sure it is available.The Mangia house salad and fresh bread begin your dinner and the taste is so fresh. Attention to detail with a house salad is uncommon these days. The lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs was hot and fully devoured. I took photos to show you the quality and what you can expect. Hopefully you will meet the chef/owner when you come.If that is not enough he makes fresh cakes for dessert! I think I will come for wine and cake some evening as well.Cheers! I think you will like Mangia Bistro and come back again as well.“

“Nice place. They had me order at the counter and get my own drink and refills from a public facing drink dispenser. When my food was ready they brought it to the table I selected. You can tell a real independent Italian pizza place in Texas because they have soccer playing on the television and the staff love it. I’ve only seen this in Texas but I’ve seen it multiple places. Enjoyed the calzone and it wasn’t a long wait.“

“Went in for a lunch and can’t speak a lot about atmosphere, since there were not many folks in there on a week day.Had their signature pasta and it was simply superb, I had it with shrimp .. I would suggest Thai place for any formal dinners and brunch settings ..Parking: Street side and back side parking“

“Really good authentic pasta! Love their bread, salads and pasta. The service last time I went was a little baffling. I asked to switch servers die to my server almost acting like he didn't want to take care of me. ??¿ So I politely asked for s new server and she was amazing.“

“Courtney gave TOP notch service when I came in with my wife. Her wine pairing of the Vermentino with the pizza as well as one of the BEST salads I ever had in my life will be thought about frequently. Highly recommend 400 Gradi for delicious fine Italian cuisine, and do yourself a favor an ask for Courtney. Her bubbly personality and exceptional knowledge alone is worth the trip!“

“Amazing food and drinks. Customer service exceptional. Ambiance cozy and trendy. We came on a Friday night. Highly recommend having reservations. Dinner started with the appetizer of calamari & zucchini. Followed with the Cacio E Pepe Pasta w/a side of grilled shrimp. (Yes...add the shrimp) and the Bucatini All' Amatriciana Pasta. Both were so good that I forgot to take pictures. Maybe my next visit I'll remember the entree pictures. But I live for good drinks and dessert...HA! They did not disappoint.“

“How could anyone give this less than a 5 star? I've never tasted better pasta in the US at such affordable prices. I love this concept of delivering just good food without paying for the ambiance / environment of a high class italian sit down restaurant. I ordered the Tortelli Al Tartufo which was delicious - the pasta was so tender, delicate, and elegant. I also ordered the polpette (meatballs) and that proved to be an amazing appetizer. With their efficient lids, I brought the rest of my tortelli to go home and it proved to hold up well in the microwave. I gotta go back and try the rest of the menu! The staff was also very bright and cheerful. I would just recommend having some menus more at eye level rather than craning one's neck to look up. There's a menu at the register but that's about it.“

“I tried Piada for the first time today LOVED IT... The people working were super nice and Joel was patient with my group changing our minds every 30 seconds.. He also recommended the street corn that is to die for !!. I'd give 6 stars if I could..“

“This pizza is amazing! We were in town for a baseball tournament and decided to try something local. I highly recommend this! The service was great, greeted with smiles from employees, and the food was wonderful. Clean tables and even a play area for little kids!“

“Visited on a whim with friends, we WERE NOT disappointed. The layout of the place is confined, and not the best. But that didn't matter with the pizzas we ate. I and 4 other friends enjoyed pepperoni, alfredo, and New Yorker pizzas. We had the meatballs and croissant mozzarella sticks. Alright... so the pizza... it's no joke. It's some of the best I've had in a while. The server (possibly owner?) Described the 48-hour double rising process for their dough. You could taste the quality. Aromatic, crispy, and airy, in just the right way. The sauce that was used was perfect in composition ingredients wise. The alfredo sauce was some of the highest quality I've encountered. It tasted like it was made only a few hours ago. I had a delicious imported sparkling lemonade drink. Overall, it was a slamming dinner. we WILL return. Our rambunctious group was handled with patience and understanding. I am pleased!“

“Where to begin? We only happened on this place as it was raining and next door to Tiger Sugar. But man- it is a new regular spot now. The complimentary garlic knots to start were pillow soft and seasoned to perfection even without the delicious marinara. Even with a full dining room, food came reasonably quickly and every dish was as good as the last. The Chicken Marsala had a massive portion of chicken and the signature wine flavor really came through, though it personally could have had a touch more acid and mushrooms. The Scallapini was refreshing with mainly citrus flavors and not overwhelmingly creamy. I would have liked it to be more basil heavy, but they used fresh leaves, so another point for Amoretto. Service a impeccable, constantly checking up and refilling knots and bread. The menu is expansive, so I will make a point to try their pizza next time. I'm gonna gain a lot of weight here.“

“Three of us ordered special spaghetti, the antipasto salad, and the pasta alforno. The meal came with garlic rolls and we added a side order of marinara for dipping. It was tangy and light, NOTHING like a canned or bottled sauce. The rolls were a bit dense, but EVERYTHING else was WONDERFUL! We shared all of the dishes, but the winner was the antipasto salad with its ham and salami pinwheels and the absolute BEST house dressing. Although he didn't introduce himself, I think it was the owner, came around to see if everything was good and answer questions. He even let me guess the ingredients of that dressing! We will definitely return as we had no room for the house-made tiramisu and really wished we had. Maybe a cup of cappuccino and dessert on our next visit. Service was great. Our server was attentive but not bothersome. The decor of the restaurant was pleasant with wine bottles lining the ceiling molding around the entire circumference of the dining room, antique pressed metal ceiling tiles, and origami chandeliers which spun delicately above us. The quiet ambiance was casual enough for a family dinner while quaint enough for an intimate date night. We had an all-around delightful visit to a lovely restaurant. Villa Vinci is a MUST if you've never been.“

“They serve up more than just pizza, as I discovered during my recent visit. I tried the Tortellini Cheese with Alfredo sauce, and it was nothing short of delicious. The Alfredo sauce was creamy and well-seasoned, perfectly clinging to the generously stuffed tortellini. I was impressed with the portions, which were quite substantial, ensuring great value for the price. Given the quality of this dish, I'm definitely looking forward to returning soon to try more of their pasta offerings. A hidden gem for Italian cuisine lovers!“

“Did carry out from Venezia and they have amazing choices to offer for vegetarians. Don't miss their fettuccine Alfredo and vodka sauce that's tad bit spicy. The house bread and salad fills you up completely. Definitely a winner and my to go place in Murphy for Italian food.“

“The best. I used to live two blocks away. Now I drive an hour from Fort Worth for the best calamari in DFW -for real-, yummy pizza, great pasta. Do you know about these old fashioned neighborhood restaurants with generous portions, wonderful service and very reasonable prices?? This is it. So happy they have not become a franchise. I am afraid one day they just might. Just too good. Thanks guys.“

“I love quality pizza. That’s why I drive 30 minutes to get a great pizza at Rosati’s in McKinney. The pizzas were ready on time & they followed my instructions to par-bake & not slice the pizza. As always, the pizza was excellent!“

“Stopped here for an evening with friends before enjoying the beautiful downtown McKinney. Decided to go with wine and apps and it was a good choice! Jade took care of us and on her recommendation we tried the Bruschetta and Spinach Dip - both amazing - and added in a little protein with the Meatballs which made it a perfect combo for the three of us!“

“There's a good amount and wide variety of menu items to choose from. All the members in our group enjoyed the food. The restaurant had smoke in it because the oven, where the pizzas are cooked, was left open. The employees did a good job of airing out the restaurant but the smell of smoke was off-putting. Even though our group were the only ones in the restaurant the server didn't pay much attention to us.“

“"Eleos Pizza food truck in Princeton, Texas is an absolute gem! From the moment you approach, the aroma of freshly baked dough and savory toppings envelops you in anticipation. The pizzas are nothing short of spectacular - each bite bursting with flavor and authenticity. The crust is the perfect balance of crispy and chewy, and the toppings are fresh and plentiful. The owners' passion for pizza shines through in every aspect of their operation, from their friendly service to their commitment to using quality ingredients. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Eleos Pizza is a must-try culinary experience that will leave you craving more."“

From the moment you enter, the warm and welcoming atmosphere invites you to relax and enjoy an authentic culinary experience.This being my second visit, I was delighted to find the same warmth and quality that had initially charmed me, reaffirming the consistent excellence of this establishment.

“The best there is- their lobster ravioli is the best I’ve had. Nothing else hits the spot like theirs. We’ve eaten here many times and never been disappointed. You can tell they take pride in their food and use quality ingredients. I’d recommend them to anyone and everyone.“

“Great service amazing atmosphere for the family and good food. You have to try the chocolate cake and Sedona saladParking: Parking always available in front of the store.Kid-friendliness: I always bring my 6 months old son and he has a blast smiling at the staff.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access into the establishment.“

“Italia Pizza Shop excels in pizza perfection. Their Cheese Pizza boasts a thin, crisp crust enveloped in a rich, gooey mozzarella blanket, perfectly complemented by a zesty tomato sauce. Meanwhile, the Chicken Pizza is a savory sensation, with succulent seasoned chicken, fresh veggies, and mozzarella melding atop that same impeccable crust. Italia Pizza Shop is a haven for pizza enthusiasts, delivering both classic and inventive options, ensuring a cheesy delight with every bite.“

“Excellent customer service. Small family owned and operated. Delicious italian dishes. Pizza is top notch. Made with quality ingredients and care. Try the Brazilian options! We drive over an hour to eat Marinara Pizza when we're craving pizza.“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We love Italian Villa! The stuffed shells are my favorite! Their bread is so fluffy and yummy. Their house dressing might be the best around! It's so, so good!! The pizza is amazing. I haven't had anything from Italian Villa that I haven't liked ?‍♀️ BYOB, I believe, but they do have some wines on hand, as well. It's a fantastic, family owned, Italian restaurant! ❤️“

“AMAZING chicken meatballs and that sauce it's served with is incredible..more please! Even the Indian wine served with lunch today was a pleasant surprise. Such bold vibrant flavors best wine I've had out at a neighborhood restaurant in a long time. I will definitely be back soon (most likely tomorrow for happy hour!)!!“

“We’ve been going here since they opened in Allen. Authentic and delicious Italian dishes that are unforgettable. My top go to dishes are: eggplant Parmesan, Mario’s, and Autuno salad. Great ambiance and great service. Get there early bc there is always a wait around dinner time. I used to love their pizza, but they no longer serve this.“

“We eat here pretty frequently and they’re always great!!We have some allergies to accommodate and they are always helpful and never act like it’s a bother.Manager stopped by tonight, very kind. Hostesses are kind and efficient. Server today was Bryce and he was great. We haven’t had a bad experience at this location! I just wish the franchise would bring back the mashed potatoes!“

“There’s a reason this place has so many great reviews! The food is phenomenal. The service is friendly and they were so kind during our waiting/ordering process. We sat at the bar while waiting for our to go to be red and the sweet red wine that I asked for was delicious! The spaghetti with meat sauce was great without being overly oily like some places can be. The Greek salad has arugula which is CRISP, not wilted at all! The bread is soft with a slight crunch on the top perfect for using to scoop up the bits of meat sauce. My kiddo is who is very particular about her spaghetti LOVED this place! We can’t wait to try more of the menu! We ordered a kids portion meal and it may have been an adult size plate. You get your moneys worth here and it is so flavorful!“

“My wife and I went in on a Sunday night 30 mins before they closed, and we apologized to the waiter (Cole), and told him we’d be quick. We have little kids, so we don’t get to go out on date nights very often, but Cole assured us that it was ok, and he absolutely took amazing care of us. Helped us through the menu, choosing a wine, and made the whole experience so comfortable for us. My big concern was going in so late and getting poor service and poor food, but I was thrilled that the service was warm and the food was hot! We ordered the carbonara and the shrimp risotto… Flawless. Great attention to detail, great blending of flavors, and the kitchen staff (Eddy and Ruben) even took the time to talk about the art of their craft, and it was like being among friends at our house. We’re in the food industry, and we love finding other folks who are passionate about amazing food, and cared enough about their guests to make sure they sent out piping hot food that wasn’t just thrown together to get out the door faster. In total, we tried 2 apps, a soup, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts. Everything was spot-on. Great food and the staff was even better. I will be back more than they will probably want.“

“When I have a pleasant experience dining out I need to leave a good review We have been going to Sali's for several years and have not been disappointed yet. I they just get it The wait staff is energetic and always smiling and the food is very tasteful and a good value I highly recommend this hidden gem“

“I tried Dough's Gourmet Pizza for the first time last week and ordered Lasagna with chicken. It was so good and fresh that I returned a week later to try the Calzone. The freshness of the ingredients is impeccable. I placed Dough Gourmet Pizza at the top of the pizza market. Very good!“

“Brother's has delicious food & wonderful service. My husband always devours the spicy chicken arrabiatta, older son really enjoys the chicken piccata, my toddler loves the kids lasagna, and I love the pizza slices & salads! They are BYOB as well for people who like to eat out. We always leave more than satisfied!“

“Hidden Gem! First time trying this place me and my husband are celebrating 1yr and 3 months together.customer service was amazing, food was very affordable and tasted better than Olive Garden hands down! wasn't crowded either and wall art is amazing. Will definitely be coming back I got fettuccine Alfredo with fried chicken that came with garlic knots and my husband got the calzone, we both didn't finish our meal but we're completely satisfied with our choices.“

“Our first visit to Brio in Allen really was very good, the Manager Ray was very nice and gave us some suggestions on what to have for dinner. Everything was really good and our waitress Kearston was awesome. We will be back next time we are in the area. Butterscotch bread pudding was sinfully delicious as well!“

“My man Marcus killed it! We walked in after having waited over an hour at Zin Zan for service, told the friendly and professional host that we were in a hurry. My guy Marcus greeted us within a few seconds of seating, let us know what was the fastest option for food and gave us some banger recommendations we took advantage of. The pizza was insanely good, my wife doesn't even like pizza and she was impressed. Took probably 3 minutes to arrive at the table after ordering it, the sauce was unbeatable and the mozzarella is made in house. The ambiance was cool too! We sat on the patio but we passed the kitchen on the way out, looks like those fellas know what they're doing. 11/10, I'll be back for sure! Proper pizza with proper service.“

“This place is absolutely amazing! When we arrived I was a little nervous because it was empty but that all went away once we got the food. It was so good. Amazing chicken parm and pizza. The sauce is made so well. I've been wanting to come back again!“

“This is my favorite Italian restaurant. They have the best customer oriented staff. They are efficient, eager and knowledgeable making them better to serve their guests. Everything that I have tried on their menu has left nothing to be desired! The food is fantastic with generous portions! The restaurant is always clean and inviting. The atmosphere is mellow and alluring. The family pictures along the walls tell the story of how it came to pass. It feels authentic to me. The drinks are delicious and can set the vibe if you imbibe! I would recommend Carrabba's to anyone that wants to tickle their taste buds with rich flavor that satisfies every time.“

“We stopped in for dinner and were seated at a booth in the bar area. Our waitress was quick and very helpful. Portions are generous and their $6 take home extras gave us a nice, 3 minute microwave dinner 2 days later. Great bread sticks and unlimited salad bar. Generous portions.“

“I got the $13.49 build your own. Pasta was good, I got the crispy chicken and the angel hair. Chicken was okay. The salad was very good. It was good value for your dollar. All of it was good. None of it was super fantastic that I would remember a month from now.“

“I recently tried Marco's Pizza and was thoroughly impressed! The pizza had a perfect balance of flavors, the crust was deliciously crispy, and the toppings were fresh. The service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend Marco's Pizza for a delightful dining experience.“

“This place is SPECTACULAR! The Garlic knots are SO DELICIOUS!If you're a pasta lover, this spot is JUST what you need! Give the Italian Country Fried Chicken Alfredo a try. I swear to you, you WILL NOT be disappointed!Gorgeous place with marvelous food & a variety in wines ?! An absolute recommendation!“

“Food we ordered for the most part was delicious. I ordered baked ziti and minestrone soup. He ordered canneloni. Fried cheese for app, nothing special. The marinara sauce yummy. Friends ordered pizza and it was ok. Dessert, tiramisu, cannoli and cheesecake all so good! Service was ok. We were only ones in there and server was slow. Just visiting the area and came bc heard about from coffee walk. Will prob eat here again.“

“I want to say I have never had food from this location. I want to write this because I accidentally ordered from this location, and I live pretty far away. It was totally my fault, but they were willing to void the order. I insisted on paying something, it was my fault after all. They insisted on voiding it.This is true service, and I am very grateful. Sending the karma back their way. Thank you Napoli's!“

“It was our first time there this afternoon. In fact, a bartender from a competitor suggested we try it out for their wings. Food and service were excellent! We sat at the bar. Terri and Brett were the bartenders. They were friendly, professional, and gave us great suggestions. We ordered the boneless wings (hot garlic) and an Italian sandwich. Amazing! Definitely going back to check out the pizza (someone ordered it next to us, and looked delicious)! Recommended to a few of our friends!“

“The vibe was chill, and the service? Top-notch! They were always swinging by to make sure we were good. And let's talk about the food—totally worth it! I went for the meat lovers, and man, could I taste every single flavor! No grease overload, just pure deliciousness.“
