26 Best Italian Restaurants near Rockwall

“The Oar House in Rockwall was an amazing Valentine’s dinner experience. Everything from the food to the service was absolutely top-notch. 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 HAD one of the worst days I have experienced in a long time, I came in, disheveled, red eyes, overheated due to the sun and let's say I had to go somewhere medically beforehand. I just wanted to run in order something to go and go home. Finally I get to eat today. I'm usually dressed well and not a complete and total mess. I was wearing some pretty old clothing. I didn't even know what I wanted but I still got my food, no judgement from anyone, [there was a lot of random customers staring at me] greysin or graysin took my to go order with no judgement, was very kind to me, was very knowledgeable on the menu and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart. Thank you all there at olive garden. The food was great but you all at the end of the day were amazing and stayed human. Im well off so ill be coming back here once my wife gets better. And we will be dining with you guys for as long as we are in the area.“

“Hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had. Not only is the quality exceptionally high, the service is impeccable!!! 10/10!!! We will be making frequent trips to support this amazing restaurant!“

“Omg omg. This is authentic Italian. The red sauce on the spaghetti and meatballs my goodness. The meatballs are FANTASTIC. Seasoned to perfection. Dinner salad so refreshing, pepperoni pizza is OUT OF THIS WORLD. The cheese, the sauce, the meat. I'm hooked. It's our 1st time, definitely not the last... p.s. forgive my pic, I was almost done. I couldn't wait to eat it lol.“

“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!!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. The food was so good ! And the waiter we had was so friendly. great service and great food. Highly recommend.“

“I was pretty blown away by the quality of the food. The lobster ravioli was some of the best I’ve had anywhere.“

“This place was on point. Great value for the money. Quality of food and drink was good and staff was friendly and attentive. We will be back!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Bbq chicken plate was good; I’m picky about mashed potatoes and think they could have used milk instead of whatever was used. They were okay but like I said I’m picky. I loved the service and atmosphere there and will go back.“

“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.“

“Super delicious food and the atmosphere is very nice and comfortable, and the owner is the nicest❣️“

“My Kidz Dental and My Mouth Dental has been a great experience for our whole family. Our family of four have been patients of both practices for several years. The team is wonderful to work with, from the front desk staff to the dentists. They are friendly, patient with the kids, and thorough. They have been helpful in navigating insurance issues and sensitive when dealing with pediatric dental issues. We recommend them to everyone we know!“

“We have come here for years , some people will like and some not, not crowded you can actually talk to each other and not have kids running around and a bunch of racket. great place for a teenage guy to take a girl on a date that they can talk to each other. Entrees are large.“

“It was very good and great service!“

“Yummy. Best pizza in town“

“Our networking group Welcome to the Local Business Blitz stopped by Luigi‘s this past Tuesday to support local restaurant. The service was very attentive and the staff was friendly. The food was hot, fresh and very fairly priced. I tried the manicotti, it hit the spot! This is a great spot.“

“I like this place, the pizza is good but this time it was not hot as it should be. I placed my order online and said it would be ready in 20 min and I may have gotten there 5 min later. In this case it was probably my fault for eating cold pizza. I tipped on this order which is something I don’t understand. Why are we tipping?. We are not dining In, only picking up. So don’t understand why we tip if these employees are getting paid by the hour anyway. Sorry if im being rude.“

“We’ve ordered pizza from here a few times already since we moved to Forney about 2 yrs ago now since we’ve never tried it before. We’ve never had any issues ordering online for pickup or even for delivery, and the pizza itself is just delicious! It’s always made fresh & we always feel some kinda way if we order from elsewhere bc we’ll end up saying “we should’ve just ordered from Marco’s” ? but long story short, we highly recommend Marco’s Pizza to everyone so if you’re in the Heath/Rockwall area stop by & grab you a box! ?“

“We had a great experience at Palio’s in Royse City! The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and everyone was friendly and attentive.

Great food paired with great customer service always makes for a winning combination. We’ll definitely be back!

Highly recommend Palio’s if you’re looking for a great local spot in Royse City!“

“We stopped by for lunch and took advantage of their lunch specials. My wife grabbed the Greek salad and a bottle of water, while I chose a small thin crust pepperoni pizza and a 20 oz. bottle of Mountain Dew. We had outstanding customer service and we got our food very quickly.“
