50 Best Italian Restaurants near Southlake

“the attentive service and the exceptional food at stella has left the bar high.. we started our night w a drink called margarita veneziana.. and finish with a bottle of red wine. a great experience to have again. thank you stella staff.“

“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!“

“The GM is a mad scientist with limoncello—blood orange, grapefruit, lime, and many others, all made in-house with fruit from local farmers’ markets. They even make cocktails with them. Try the Grandma’s Pizza and the Wikki Chicken Pasta, and enjoy the live piano music. Finally, tip well—or don’t go.“

“I used to come here all the time when I lived in the area, and stopping by one last time reminded me why I loved this place so much. The food is always delicious, but what really sets this spot apart is the way they treat their customers. During my final visit, one of employees did something kind and thoughtful that really made my day, it reminded me that they truly appreciate the people who walk through their doors. You can tell they care, and that kind of hospitality makes all the difference. Can’t recommend them enough! The fried ravioli is amazing!“

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 🎶“

“This could possibly be the best Italian restaurant in Texas. The food was excellent, and cooked to perfection. Albert, our waiter was very attentive and a delight. Our party was large, but he was spot on. The cheesecake was bliss. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Been eating here since 1998. Easily the best around. Chicken Alfornos is delicious as is the Lobster Ravioli!“

“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.“

“Thank you, Aaron and Gary, for the wonderful catering you provided for my son’s wedding.
Everything was just as delicious, fresh, and high‑quality as what you serve in your dining room. Our guests raved about the food, and we couldn’t have been happier with how beautifully everything turned out. You helped make the day truly special!“

“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!“

“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“

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

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

“Husband and I ate here on our weekend getaway . We are from Houston area. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food and service was amazing !“

“We absolutely love their pizza!!! I had the manicotti last visit and it was delicious as well. I feel if they spruced the place up/ updated it, they would hit a home run! Just my opinion of course. We will continue to frequent Bellissimo’s. Yummy.“

“Service was so fast and servers did a great job“

“This is a fairly small restaurant in this strip center. I got the Shrimp Alfredo, and although the sauce was a little runny for my liking, it was really good. Made it good for dipping the bread in and was sufficient for coating the noodles, however. I think it would have gotten thicker if I had let it cool off a bit as the food came out hot, as we wish all food was when it came out of the kitchen. Others in my group got the eggplant and pizza. Everyone said it was really good and said they were putting this place on their list of favorites, and I have to agree. The food here has more of a homemade flavor than the bigger Italian food restaurants. Give it a try. You might just get another favorites added to your list.“

“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...“

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

“This pizza place is delicious! My husband and myself wanted to try it for the first time but didn’t want to commit to a full pizza. We got the 2 slices with a drink combo. It was very affordable and absolutely DELICIOUS! We will definitely be going back to get a full pizza and try the other items on the menu.“

“Really amazing, unassuming Italian place tucked away in Euless! Having been to work/vacation in Rome, Capri, Tivoli, and Naples, I can attest that you'll be getting authentic, quality Italian cuisine and not the heavy, mass market stuff you often find at American restaurants. My wife and I enjoyed our first trip so much we had to come back again the same week to try more items off the menu. We're particular fans of their lobster ravioli, the Seafood Combo #2 (with shrimp, mussels, clams, and calimari rings), and their buffalo wings, as well as the chicken/sausage pasta combo.“
