“Joe's Pizza is a Southlake area restaurant that has been serving NYC style pizza for many years. It's a casual restaurant with many large tables, a testimony to all the youth sport groups coming in to share a slice. We have been going to Joe's for 18 years, and their pizza is always delicious. Their Italian main dishes are very generous, so unless you are feeding growing teens, think about splitting a salad and a main dish. I love their spaghetti and all beef meatballs. My son always orders their garlic knots. If you're in the mood for pizza, then head over to Joe's. You'll feel like you're in a NYC pizza parlor.“

“I have to give a shout out to Acquario Italian Seafood!! This is now the second time I have eaten there, and everything I have ordered both times was PHENOMENAL!! Tastes amazing and each dish is a work of art. Definitely our new fave!!!“

“My husband and I were in Texas for our first time and looking for dinner one evening we found this restaurant on a whim, and we are so glad we did! We were sat right away at a table and the staff was so incredibly friendly, especially our waitress Abby. I have gluten and dairy intolerances so finding good food options out, especially dairy free options, can be challenging. I ordered the gluten free personal pizza with vegan cheese and it was one of the best gf df pizzas i’ve ever had! My husband ordered normal (full of gluten and dairy) pizza and he scarfed it down, we both were so happy with our meals. Abby even took the time to share the restaurant’s backstory which is truly amazing. The next time we are in the area we will absolutely be back. If you are looking for great wood fired pizza and amazing staff this is your spot - especially amazing for gluten free crust and/or vegan cheese options. Loved it!

Dietary restrictions: Amazing gluten free crust and vegan cheese - not all vegan cheese melts well (if you know you know) and this one melted great and tasted great. Crust was delicious.“

“I don't think I can say enough about how great this restaurant is. AMAZING, the food is so yummy. Everything is worth trying! Thanks ya'll :)“

“Oscar was a fantastic server and very knowledgeable about the history of the owner, restaurant and food! This was THE BEST pizza we have ever had! We loved the atmosphere and 59s/60s music. When we come back to the Dallas area we will definitely come here again!“

“Moved here from PA last year and missed a good mom and pop New York style pizza. Tried all of the locally that claimed New York style, but Dante’s is the absolute best!! Always go here when I’m craving a taste of home.“

“Everything we ordered was fantastic. The gnocchi with pesto, pizza, ravioli- all wonderful.“

“I recently stopped by Saviano’s and had a fantastic experience. The highlight? Korina, the bartender, crafted one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and just the right amount of kick—she nailed it. If you’re looking for a great cocktail, head to Saviano’s and ask for Korina’s Old Fashioned; you won’t be disappointed!“

“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“

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

“Great food, fun servers, and the piano player in the dining room was great. you can tell he loves his job, which always makes it better. Then there was the band playing in the bar area and they were great. And even better, Do to the setup and size of the restaurant you can enjoy yourself in the dining and bar area without being disturbed by the other areas activities.“

“Carrabba's Hurst I want to thank you for the spectacular lunch you provided me at my mother on my birthday October 24th this afternoon!! our waiter with the white beard and the Georgio Armani slick back was the greatest waiter I've ever had the pleasure of having serve me .this guy this was kind ,the food was right the blood red Margarita was on point!! love you guys“

“Incredible food and service!“

“I come here today to say that, although I love Olive Garden. My experience at this location was not 100% perfect. And that is OK. Normally when there’s too many mistakes, I eventually boil over and give the worst review. But it is different.

Today is November 11, 2024 Veterans Day. Came to Olive Garden tonight by myself to enjoy the free Veterans Day meal. Which I usually do every year since I joined the army. There has been issues in the past at different locations, but still I continue to show up because I do love Olive Garden.

When I got here today, I was seated immediately. My server came in introduced herself. I asked her if I could move to the other table that had just emptied because it was a booth and I preferred a booth. She had to check with her team and once it was approved, I got up and switch seats. I’ve been told her I would like to get a water with lemon and then I asked a couple questions in regards to the menu. Normally the menu changed a little bit. I wasn’t sure which I wanted. I was stuck between the fettuccine Alfredo or the chicken Parm with spaghetti. Depending on the price I was going to either add chicken and shrimp to my Alfredo or just get the chicken Parm.

Natalie went to be back to find out the prices to add on items to the meal. She returned to my table fairly quickly. She said for both the chicken and shrimp. It would be around $4 and some change each. So I decided to just go with the chicken Parm. I placed my order and she went to the kitchen and brought me breadsticks and a little bit later my soup came out. Everything was coming out so quickly.

I finished the soup pretty stuffed. I waited around on my phone for my entry to come out. It never did. Throughout the time she came over and checked in to make sure I was OK and told me that she would go and check on my food for me. During the visits, I also ordered a strawberry spiked lemonade. With everything that was going on unfortunately she forgot about the lemonade. But with the time going past, and my entrée still not being brought to me eventually another server came over and verified my order. In that moment, when I realize that there was a mistake made. She went back to the kitchen and then that one of the managers, Chavan came over and apologize for the inconvenience and told me how bad she felt. I appreciate her being genuine and trying to rectify the situation.

Even after speaking to the manager the food still took a lot longer to come out. I believe Natalie got worried so I saw her less. She eventually came back to the table. I did inform her that she is perfectly fine. Apologize genuinely but I could tell that she looked like she wanted to cry. Chavan came over and brought me some more water and also offered me a dessert.

All this to say but yes, there were some things that went wrong, but their customer service was absolutely amazing. The teamwork to try to fix what happened definitely made my day. Natalie, if you ever see this, I hope you truly understand how amazing you are. Some servers would have just given up while others would have not even apologized. Keep being your authentic self because honestly, there is a bright future ahead of you. And for manager Chavan you are an amazing leader. And your employees are very lucky to have you. Just remember not every table will be perfect. But even with a not perfect table, there are perfect managers and perfect service that make everything just the way it supposed to be.

In the end, I still gave Natalie a tip. And I still left a comment for her in the kiosk and I really hope that she gets it one day. Restaurant should have a server like Natalie and a manager like Chavan.

Ps. I hope I still up both of their names, correct. ?

Ps. I ended up getting my entre and dessert Togo because I was sleepy so no pic“

“I ate here today for the first time. My only complaint is I didn't eat here sooner. Everything I had was amazing. This is the best Italian food I've had in DFW and it's not even close. The Brushetta Capris, was amazing the freash mozzarella cheese with basic and some balsamic paired with a jucy tomato and toasted bread was a perfect apatizer 10/10. The chicken marsala was a great balance of savory and sweet. The deserts were out of this world especially the pistachio cake. I will recommend this place to anyone who likes Italian food. They also have 3 other locations but the one in Bedford is ???“

“We absolutely love La Bistro Italian Grill!! Our go to is the Lasagne; best in town hands down!! We always try to get a table close to the pianist playing everything from Claude Debussy to Billy Joel!! The service is always top notch and we always love coming back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“What an amazing experience we had hosting 40 friends and family for my Mimi's Celebration of Life. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, everything was perfect. Gary was very compassionate and helpful as we planned this event and the entire staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Salerno's for lunch, dinner, happy hour or hosting a large group. Happy to support local businesses and cannot recommend Salerno's enough.“

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

“Delicious pizza! Most like NY-style than anywhere else in the DFW area.“

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

“Had a fantastic meal at Amore’s with my family! They make their pizza crust, garlic rolls, and sauces from scratch and they are fresh, flavorful, and delicious. We had stellar service from Lisa who is hospitable and personable. We tried the Florentine Pizza and the Fettuccini Alfredo Pizza, and the Caesar Salad and the Mediterranean Salad. Delicious! Amore’s is a BYOB restaurant so be sure to bring your favorite plonk to enjoy with your meal. We will DEFINITELY be back!“

“Staff member chased me down the road just to give us some extra rolls with my pickup order! Great food, great service, will absolutely be back!!“

“Excellent food and service“

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

“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...“

“Love the atmosphere! Food was 10/10 !“

“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.“
