50 Best Italian Restaurants near Southlake

“Mulino is one of my favorite local restaurants. The food is very good and the prices are quite reasonable. One of the things I like best is the service. All of the staff is friendly and professional. But I would single out Tony as the best waiter working there and is my favorite waiter anywhere. He is friendly, knowledgeable and does an outstanding job. He has a winning personality, and makes the customer feel welcome and the overall experience is enhanced because of his attention to every detail. He is a real asset to the restaurant!“

Plus it's BYOB. Happy Thanksgiving to all!“

“From the moment Mitch, decked out in a stunning white wedding dress complete with a lacy veil and a bouquet of fresh flowers, walked through the doors of Italianni's restaurant, it was clear this was going to be a lunch unlike any other. The cause of this unusual attire? A lost Super Bowl bet that led to a good-natured yet highly embarrassing promise: to enjoy lunch with his dad while dressed as a radiant bride. Mitch a bearded man in a wedding dress due to a lost bet is humiliated in public. Despite the awkward situation, the staff at Italianni's played along beautifully, adding to the fun and light-hearted spirit of the day. Mitch, although blushing and sheepish in his bridal gown, was an excellent sport, embodying the saying that a bet is a bet, with all the grace and humor one could muster. Yet, even as Mitch sat there in his grandiose gown, the real star of the show was the food. Italianni's delivered a culinary experience that made even a man in a wedding dress forget about his blush-worthy predicament. The flavors of Italy sang through in every bite, from the rich and creamy pasta to the perfectly seasoned entrees that made our taste buds dance with joy. In the end, the lunch at Italianni's was not just a meal; it was an unforgettable experience. It was a reminder that sometimes, life's most embarrassing moments can turn into precious memories, especially when shared with family and surrounded by the warmth of great food and service. Italianni's didn't just serve lunch; they created a space where Mitch could fulfill his bet with dignity and laughter, and for that, they deserve nothing less than five stars. Whether you're in a wedding dress, a suit, or casual wear, Italianni's is the place to be for an exquisite Italian feast and a welcoming atmosphere that can turn any lunch into a celebration“

“If you live in tarrant county and haven’t been to La Bistro, then you’re missing out! Best food! Best service! There’s not a better atmosphere for a date! Get here!“

“Authentic Italian food. Great sized portions and service was the cherry on top! It was my husband’s birthday and he got a delicious free canolli. It’s also BYOB so you can bring your favorite wine to pair with the food… I mean, what else can you ask for?!
We ordered an appetizer, a huge Sicilian deep dish pizza and a baked entree all for 60$… we had to take most of the pizza home and it will feed us for at least 2 more dinners.
Come hungry and ready to be transported to Italy 🎶“

“Hands down one of the best pizzas and Alfredo I’ve ever had. Everything is incredibly fresh and made from scratch. The manager even mentioned they don’t have a microwave because nothing is reheated — and you can taste that level of freshness in every bite. 10/10. Definitely going back for more!
Forgot to take picture because we are too busy enjoting the food.“

“Their food is fantastic and the staff is exceptional!! This is one of our favorite restaurants!!“

“This is the best italian food in Flower Mound and Highland Village, hands down. Aaron the owner cares about his customers and it shows. Their Family Style Feasts are the perfect way to keep things simple on a weeknight, for a party, or for any of the holidays. What a deal!“

“Honestly, we loved eating at Joe's until last month. We ate there very frequently but all the sudden one of the waiters decided to start making a big deal over my 76 year old mother ordering off the kids menu since they don't have a senior menu, and for my 2 kids ordering off the kids menu. They're 12 & 13. The age was no where on their menus or website. After they started to make a problem out of it we pointed out that nowhere was an age listed on anything so they wrote it on marker on their menus. Strange hill to choose to battle on, that you'd rather give up customers that ate there 1-2 times a week over the ages on kids meals. It's kind of ridiculous. Ive never seen a restaurant care. Either way, that was it for us. The kids were really upset. They loved going there.“

“My co-workers and myself love going here for lunch to get a few pies every week or two. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is mom and pop and they are so friendly! I highly recommend them for dinner or lunch! Support local!“

“We had a wonderful meal today with our two grown grandsons. My husband can't get enough of the seafood with clams, shrimp and mussels on linguine with wine sauce...“

“A hidden gem!! The food is amazing!!!“

“Harrison was exceptional!! Thanks for a wonderful lunch!!“

“Loveria has the most delicious and authentic tasting Italian food! The food and service is amazing! Don’t forget to save room for tiramisu!“

“I just wanted to say THANK YOU! The young woman working the take out station went above and beyond as she brought my pizza out to me, as I was just about to come in to scoop it up as 15 minutes had gone by. I thanked her profusely and just had to come back afterwards to repay her kindness. I have been out of state the last few years and just today had the opportunity to come by for some of that super delicious Jumbo Pizza! Thank You So Much, Vito's!!!“

“My wife and I decided to try this place out! They make their own bread in house, the Philly cheesesteak is full of flavor and the ingredients with the bread compliment each other very well! One of the best I’ve had! Highly recommend! Side note: to the people who have scored this establishment very low...shame for not using common sense! The place is new the previous establishment Which was a pizza place moved out Phillys took over and if you get lost it’s your own fault if you don’t look at the street number which is clearly on the door!“
