“Yummy. Best pizza in town“

“Went there last night, awesome service, amazing food, the stuffed mushrooms were off the chart, along with our entrees! Staff made you feel like you were in Italy. Best Italian I have ever eaten. Hopefully we can get back out that way again soon!! Might have to have dessert the next time!!“

“Authentic, whole ingredients and top-notch Neapolitan cooking techniques that will make your Italian-loving heart swoon. We love everything about eating here including pizza dough that was blistered/crunchy on the edges while delicately soft on the inside and topped with high quality toppings. The pizza alone will give us cravings to return often! The pesto and prosciutto were the best quality!“

“Excellent service from Nathan! We’re both gluten-free and were so impressed with the options. We ordered the focaccia bread, pizza, and the gluten-free chocolate cake. Everything was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was attentive, and the food exceeded our expectations. It’s not always easy to find great gluten-free choices that actually taste amazing, but they nailed it.“

The seabass was cooked perfectly — flavorful, tender, and one of the best I’ve had. My wife ordered the steak, and it was incredibly tender and cooked exactly right. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The service was flawless from start to finish. The manager, Will, did an outstanding job ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we had a great experience. His attention to detail and professionalism really stood out. This was a memorable evening, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend The Oar House to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Rockwall.“

I’ve already ordered from here three times during my visit to town, and I can’t recommend it enough!“

“We celebrated our 3 year anniversary here and the service went above and beyond. Our server was Christopher and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and gave great suggestions! They learned it was our anniversary after we had paid from Alex who was refilling our water at the time. Melita came by and offered us a free dessert of our choosing, we were not expecting anything! I highly recommend this restaurant for the food, atmosphere and friendly staff“

“The pizza is fantastic, but don't let fantastic pizza prevent you from trying the other plates offered by Castello's because you'd be missing out on spaghetti and meatballs that's almost like being transported to Italy!!!
Definitely coming back for the lasagna!!!“

“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 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 .“

“Zuko’s Pizza was recommended to us and did not disappoint! From the warm greeting at the door to the attentive service, we felt welcome right away. They only take cash, Zelle, or Cash App—not a problem these days. I had the Chicken Murphy—flavorful sauce, perfectly cooked mushrooms, just the right kick—absolute chef’s kiss! My husband had spaghetti with marinara and Italian sausage, with generous portions and a homemade-tasting sauce. Small, clean seating area and friendly staff all the way till we finished eating.Can’t wait to come back for the pizza!“

“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.“

“Thank you to the Rowlett Dental staff, from the warm welcoming as I walked in the front door to getting my x-rays taken with the assistant to the cleaning I got from the dental hygienist to last but not least Dr.Kell. You guys all did a wonderful job getting me seen and making a treatment plan and helping get my whitening done. Everything was a 10, very polite and professional. Thank you all once again.“

“10/10 food, Go and enjoy!“
