Had lasagna, bruchetta and shrimp ravioli. It was all deliciously great! They are open for lunch Saturdays 11-2 even though Google maps doesn't say it. Very friendly service and pleasant atmosphere.

Great food and service. To go pizza pasta and subs. You can't go wrong.

This restaurant didn’t just serve dinner — it delivered a full-blown Italian experience. From the moment we walked in, the aroma alone told us we were in for something special. And it did not disappoint.

We brought a friend who actually lived in Italy for a long stretch — someone who grew up eating the real stuff daily — and even they were floored. They said the flavors took them straight back to their hometown trattoria. That’s not something you hear in the U.S. very often.

The food? Next level. The kind of rich, layered flavors you only get when someone refuses to cut corners. The pasta was perfection. The sauces were deep, slow-cooked, and absolutely authentic. Every bite tasted like it had a story behind it.

The staff treated us like family — not fake “scripted” service, but genuine hospitality. You can tell this place takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail.

If you want Italian that slaps you in the face with authenticity and sends you home planning your next visit before you even hit the parking lot, this is your spot. I’d give them six stars if I could.

I don’t hand out praise easily, but this place earned every bit of it. We had someone at our table who actually lived in Italy for years — someone who knows what real Italian food is supposed to taste like — and even they said this was the most authentic Italian they’ve had outside of Italy. That tells you everything.

The sauces were bold and done the right way, not watered down or Americanized. The pasta tasted like it was made that morning. Every dish had that perfect balance you only get when a chef actually cares about tradition, not shortcuts.

Service was sharp, friendly, and totally on top of things without hovering. The atmosphere felt like a small family place you’d stumble into in Florence or Bologna — warm, relaxed, and done right.

If you want real Italian, not some chain pretending to be Italian, this is it. No question. I’ll be back, and I’ll tell everyone I know to come here too.

Enjoyable dinner. Suited for almost any size, except very large groups. Service was nice.

Quality, classic, and authentic Italian food.

I've been patronizing Gino's for nearly 2 decades, and still as quality as back in the day.

Would highly recommend.

The jewel is hands down one of the best kept secrets in RR! Family owned and hand made Italian from scratch, 🤌🤌. On a hot date or a hot spot for the family, y'all gotta try this place!

Delicious Italian food! Pasta and salads so filling! Love the indoor dining atmosphere too.

I’ve order takeout from here and dined in. Each time I’ve been pleased to find a local, Italian go-to spot .

This has got to be one of the best kept secrets of Round Rock! Nothing can remotely beat family-owned Sicilian Italian cuisine feeling like you just stepped off the docks in New York. Looking forward to bringing the family back to this place here very soon!
