Aaron, who cleans my teeth, is not only good at his job but also, well...see above - open, friendly and concerned about my comfort. The decor is also bright and welcoming, not like the old-fashioned 'trip to the dentist.' My wife and I highly recommend Mint in Rowlett.“

“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!“

“Absolutely fantastic Italian food. The crust was perfectly baked with just the right balance of crisp and chew, and the filling was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. The sauce on the side had a great depth of flavor and paired perfectly with every bite.

You can tell care went into the preparation, from the texture of the dough to the seasoning of the filling. Even the simple details stood out. This is the kind of place that delivers comfort food done right.

Definitely a 5-star experience. I’ll be back for more.“

“My wife and I wanted to go out to eat on our wedding anniversary and I picked olive garden since the last time we were there it was great. I really do not eat out much I hate to pay so much more when I can make it better at home. Mike the lunch manager was great, the food was really good! The eggplant parmigiana was very good. I have tried to make it at home but it was always ok . My hats off to everybody there, you all did great!“

“Its Olive Garden, you can pretty much expect the same thing from any location. Cant go to olive garden without getting the salad and breadsticks. For the main I got the chicken alfredo either tortellini pasta. I wasnt expecting the tortellini to be filled! The flavor of the sauce and the pasta was really good, and the chicken was so tender. You get a lot of food for the money, from this plate i was able to make 3 meals out of it! Service is really good at this location. You cant really go wrong here.“

“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.“

I can’t wait to come back, and I’ll definitely be recommending this place to all my friends and family. If you’re thinking about trying it, do yourself a favor and go—you won’t be disappointed!“
