“We loved our dinner at Roman Cucina.

We had a party of 6, with 2 late, and they sat us right away, no problem. Some restaurants make you wait until your entire party arrives, so i appreciate when we are able to sit and begin our orders.
Service was VERY attentive. I don’t think we had an empty glass or bread basket at any point through the night.
Ambiance was cute and cozy, a little romantic.
It was quiet enough to hear our party conversation, but not whisper quiet. A good place for groups, I’d say.
Everyone loved their pasta. We all ordered a different meal and no one was disappointed.
Prices were a little high but each dinner could feed two.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere is great. But the added touch by the owner and staff is what makes this restaurant such a jewel. Benny, Bona, Tony, Mateo and Lita are so attentive to their patrons needs it makes the dinning experience incredible.“

“My first dish there was earlier this year it was amazing the owner husband prepared it, I returned on December 23,2024 an it was unsatisfied. The pork cheeks were burnt ,pasta was very adente. Well the owner wife had it remade same problem. Now it's not my favorite dish anymore.“

“Everything is excellent. The fried calamari is wonderful appetizer to take to family get togethers when looking for a dish to take with you.“

“Ok so, I finally got to try this place and it is exactly what I’ve heard, maybe even better because I always think everybody talks about good game. But WOW, I already made plans to go back again in a couple of days. I mean, your chicken Picotta w/extra capers is a definite must have again but come on, what’s your PIZZA like? I can’t wait, my pallet is still tingling from the last meal! 😋🤤“

After our meal when me and my family were leaving she also asked how our meal was🥰Super nice girl. Love this restaurant 10/10 everybody she come here at least once!!“

“Food was hot but not seasoned well. Staff was friendly and attentive“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Napoli’s! Their food and incredible staff always exceed my expectations….Every single time I come, no matter what I order, the food is OUTSTANDING and the extremely friendly staff …They are AMAZING and treat customers like family…. Today they brought a slice of their homemade deep dish pizza (yet to be introduced to the daily menu) and asked for my opinion. Of COURSE, it was EXCELLENT! (See pic 3) I always order meat sauce with their garlic bread as an appetizer every time. Highly recommend! (See pic 4) My top fave is the Penne Chicken (as seen in pic 1& 2) … Also, the Chicken Scarpariello is another that I highly recommend….. But really ….You can’t go wrong with any of their dishes! All are EXCEPTIONAL! Oh and if you like cheesecake, get a load of theirs …. It’s their grandfather’s recipe…. Whoa!!! Like I said, I cannot say enough about them. I’ll stop myself there as I could go on and on!“

“Here to say we've ordered a variety of items from Dough a half dozen times now and they have proven to be consistently delicious 🍕. Tonight we had a pepperoni jalapeno pizza and a veggie alfredo pizza. Yum!“

“Oh man everything was SOOO GOOD. Our waitress and the whole staff are all so friendly and nice. We just moved to the area and this is definitely our new spot. Clean, friendly, delicious food, AND reasonable prices. So glad we have an awesome restaurant close by!“

“Food was excellent, atmosphere is very intimate and quiet. Cool place.“

“The service was great thanks to, who I assume to be the manager in a green shirt (Nametag I believe said Cherrie.) A mistake had been made and Cherrie fixed it and moved my family and I to a new table, offering to pay for our meal. The service here has always been great with food just the same, and I wouldn't expect any less.“

“This is my local Olive Garden and it is beautiful but this day I don't know what happened with their tablets, they were giving the orders wrong and it took a long time for me to fill up from eating many bread sticks but it was the first time they offered me marinade or Alfredo sauce for the bread sticks so 10/10 the food as always exceptional the waitress very beautiful I also give this visit a 7.5/10“

“Best Italian Restaurant I have ever been to! I enjoyed the food!!“

“First time here
I can give them four stars in total.
But the garlic bread we ordered wasn't even close to garlic bread.It just looked like a bread with butter.
The cheese bread was good .Also we ordered spinach calzone it was just ok .“

“My family, friends, and I enjoy Soprano’s very much. They have delicious pizza, salads, soups, and wings. We love to order the chicken alfredo calzone with spinach.

I highly recommend this restaurant and enjoy Alma’s amiable and friendly attention to our large parties of 10-20 people.

Great, family-friendly restaurant.“

“I would like to say I'm a person that didn't get to go to the dentist as a child. My first time going to the dentist was when I turned 18 and I took myself, it was a traumatic experience for me with mistakes being made. So needless to say, every dentist appointment, I'm a little anxious, but this dentistry was one of the most considerate and informative dentists I've ever been to. The whole staff was so kind and explained everything so plain. I'll definitely stick with them!“

“Thank you Jim’s Pizza 🍕 for taking care of our large group for lunch!! 🥗 All of us McKinney business owners loved our lunch and your staff was amazing!!! 🤩“

“Great customer service! Food is delicious. Gregorio was amazing make us feel at home.“

“Napoli’s has the best Italian food in Rowlett. The owners are very sweet and I feel like family every time I visit. Must try the Canolli for dessert! The New York style pizza is amazing! I have tried everything there and it is all great food!“

“This is my go to italian restaurant because the food is absolutely delicious, great service, and a nice, romantic atmosphere. The aragosta (lobster ravioli) is amazing. Wish they would bring back pizza. Been like 5 years since they said their oven broke lol. But other than that no complaints. Best italian restaurant in collin county.“

“Rosati’s has the best food and great friendly staff. It’s never a bad idea to get food. My go to on Friday night. Highly recommend!!!!“

“So happy that AZ's best pizza has come to Texas!! This place is amazing. The pizza dough is thick and delicious, the cheese stretches, the sauce is so good. The lunch deals have unbeatable prices, but even for dinner, it's so worth it. I love Barro's!“

“The best pizza outside of Italy!“

“Came here for a quick bite, able to be seated fast with no reservation, and served drinks right away. After ordering, food was brought out soon, and refills taken care of. Initial serving of breadsticks was plenty for the table of three, with no extras needed.“

“Nice ambiance, great food. The music guests were awesome last night.“

“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.“

“This is hands down my favorite spot for pizza and stromboli! They’re generous with the toppings, and the crust has a flavor that stands out from the rest. It’s truly a hidden gem. The prices are very reasonable, especially compared to other pizza places, and it’s locally owned and operated. Definitely worth a try!“

“We ate La Bella Italian Grill & Pizzeria with the family and it was delicious as usual! Great food, great service, and great prices! This is definitely my go to favorite Italian restaurant as of recent! Also, this is a great place to relax and watch the games as they have multiple tv’s showing the top football games of the day! They also boast a decent selection of wines and beers for your relaxing enjoyment! Tonight I had the Meat Calzone, and my wife and daughter shared a cheese pizza! 🍕 Washed down with a delicious (couple of glasses of) sweet tea! If you haven’t already been to La Bella Italian Grill & Pizzeria, I definitely recommend, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Family owned and operated Italian food thats amazing! Always fresh, great service and super friendly! We love this neighborhood restaurant!“

“I’ve been all over the world and this is my favorite local restaurant. The owner here is so wonderful and his staff are incredible. This is a great place to dine alone or with good company. I love their wine selection, lobster ravioli, chicken Napoli and fried ravioli most of all. I’ve been coming here for over a decade for so many reasons. They aim very high to please and they never miss!“

“Yummy. Best pizza in town“

“awesome food. great service. we had lasagna“

“So I’m pretty tired of the local Pizza Hut service, and I recently switched to Mario’s, their food and service is far betterI’m on vacation so I don’t really care, but the manager from the store just called me 15 minutes before the pizza was supposed to be here and telling me what’s going on and letting me know that he might be about 10 or 15 minutes late, I was like your guess that’s more than your competitors do stick with Mario ‘s“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Palio's Pizza Cafe is a hidden gem. We ordered their large Molly's pizza for dinner and dined inside. Pizza tasted great. The crust was perfect and flavors were delicious. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. Restaurant has a nice comfortable dining area. We will be coming back and telling family and friends about this place.“

“Delicious food and the owners are wonderful people!“

“I’ve never tried their pizza. But I have tried their pasta and it’s a slam dunk. Just don’t order any cheesecake for that, You can go to Walmart and pay cheaper because that’s exactly where it came from. It is not homemade and it’s dry. That’s why I don’t go to Walmart to get it. So for the 5.95 I paid I’ll now have to Dr it up a bit to eat it“

“My mom and I like to meet at wineries/ wine bars once a month that halfway for us (parents live in Crystal Lake and I live in LaSalle). Goat and Vine was an excellent restaurant with delicious food and a variety of top notch wines! On top of that, our server made our first time experience that much better; I highly recommend!!“
