6 Best Italian Restaurants near Salado

“This is our favorite pizza place in Salado. The pizzas are great, nice salad bar, ice cream. Craft Beers!!“

“The food here is Authentic Italian ❤️The ingredients are fresh and the food was cooked to perfection. It is so nice to have a piece of Italy here in Central Texas! I can't wait to try everything on the menu. The owners are so friendly, they let us try all the Gelato flavors, they were all so flavorful! It was so hard to just choose one. I definitely reccomend Pierinos, and can't wait to go back again!“

“My son and I ate here for lunch today, he had the meat lasagna and I had beef ravioli. We both enjoyed our meal! It was seasoned to perfection, the perfect sized portion and very reasonably priced.“

“It’s like a tea restaurant and Pastarico Italian at same place. Started with the funghi bread appetizer and it was yummy. Then you pick your noodles, then your sauce. We both had a different wine sauce and it was very good. Good customer service.“

“I'm usually very satisfied with our meals from Luigi's. But this evening our meals were not good. The meals were very unfavorable and there was to much sauce. Didn't get our extra bread.“

“Walked in around 4:30pm on a Saturday. A man greeted my husband and I, giving us a menu, clear and concise directions, and ample space and time to deliberate. All the tables were clean. All the floors were clean. The bathrooms were clean. Every space my nosy eye could see, was clean, even around the soda machine and under the video games. Ordered fried mushrooms with ranch dip, cheese sticks, a small cheese pizza, order of fries, Buffalo chicken sub with blue cheese dressing on the side, Italian sausage sub, and two fountain drinks.

The sodas were crisp with perfect balance of syrup and bubbles. Waffle fries were hot and crispy, with a clean finish and slight sweetness, like fresh oil was used. Cheese pizza was hot and bubbly, just perfect, and reheated well later at home too. Cheese sticks were crisp outside gooey inside and not one of them were popped. Ranch dip was fresh. Italian sausage was cut in half lengthways (see picture) and grilled with onions and bell peppers. Buffalo chicken sub consisted of fresh fried chicken tenders, Buffalo sauce, crisp shredded iceberg lettuce, and fresh, crisp Roma tomato slices. One of the chicken tenders was a little dry, but otherwise it was fantastic, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, though I might request extra Buffalo sauce next time because I like it spicy. The fried mushrooms were unfortunately slightly overcooked, but had great flavor. We really enjoyed it. Only discomfort I had was the greenish, off-putting lighting. I took two pictures of the same food, with and without flash. I was impressed with the professionalism, love and care we experienced, and hope to return with a bigger crowd next time. Thank you for a very good evening, Bobby Lupo family!“
