“We ate last night at Amore Restaurant in The Colony and the food was excellent. Also listened to special music entertainment by Shafer Wilkerson who was fantastic and very talented. Will definitely be back for the food, great staff and any entertainment they have in the future. Highly recommend this restaurant. August 26, 2025 D. Rollin“

“Quartino Ristorante Grandscape is a must visit! The food is excellent here, nice cocktails, nice beer selection, and GREAT wine selection! Dinning and Brunch are fabulous, but the Happy Hours are spectacular, especially on Wednesday where their incredible wines (glass or bottle) and delicious pizzas are half off! Great service whether sitting in the dining room or at the very nice spacious bar, the service is unbeatable and if you get the pleasure of having Mikayla as your server, then you are in for a treat because she is top notch at her craft and you will enjoy your time there even more! You Go Mikayla!!“

“Awesome food! Will make it a stop when I am in area!“

There is a large variety of vegetarian Indian pizzas and Jain/Swaminaryan options too. The Veggie Achari Pizza was awesome with lots of spice and taste. Highly recommend Fun Pizza Kitchen.“

“Amazing Chef-curated Italian !!!“

“My partner and I came down to Dallas from OKC to celebrate our anniversary weekend. My partner has a severe gluten allergy so we always look for places that can accommodate that need. Our server, Matt, was incredible. He pointed out all the items that couldn’t be made gluten free. He answered all of our questions with confidence and clarity. We felt so comfortable with our selections. As for the food, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! It was INCREDIBLE!!! You could have fooled me that it was gluten free (I know it was because I didn’t have to take my partner to the hospital)! Not only did the give us an amazing meal, but they brought out a special, gluten free dessert to celebrate our anniversary. We also were given some gift cards as a thank you for celebrating our anniversary there. We will ABSOLUTELY be back next time when we’re in town, and I cannot recommend this place or Matt enough, whether you’re gluten intolerant or not.“

“Always terrific! One of my favorite Dallas restaurants.“

“I cannot recommend Roma’s Italian Kitchen enough! My only regret is that I ordered only one thing to-go. The restaurant is very clean, the staff is great, and you feel like you are back in a small piece of Europe. The owner Lucian was very hospitable and generous. I called in an order of Mititei to-go, and they were delicious! I cannot wait to go back and try their Sarmale, Schnitzel, and the pizza & pasta! I do not live very close, but Roma’s Italian Kitchen is definitely worth the drive, you won’t regret it. Va multumesc mult!“

“best food and always courteous!! chicken avocado Prada is the best“

“Hi! I visited your business online and noticed your website could be improved and modernized.

I actually built a new redesigned website concept for Paparazzi Pizza — clean, modern and more visually appealing to customers. I made it for free because I believe your pizza deserves the same strong presence online as it does in person.

I also noticed a nearby competitor Pollo Salsa has a cleaner website, and I thought it would be great for Paparazzi Pizza to stand out even more with something better and more professional.

If you like what I created, all I ask in return is a short testimonial — no payment required.
I'm happy to help you grow, update the site further, and make your online presence stronger.

You can contact me anytime — I’d love to hear your opinion.
Thank you for reading, and wishing you all success! 🍕🔥“

“The best Italian in Texas! I’m highly impressed with the food, presentation, and staff. You must try everything by becoming a regular here. Great for family dinner, date night, or a business dinner.“

“I am obsessed with this place!! The food, the wine, the vibe check all the boxes for me. Traditional Italian fare and some fun contemporary dishes as well. I love coming here for special occasions when I still am looking for delicious comfort food. My only regret is that I didn’t know about it sooner!“

“We’ve been eating here for a few years. The new owners have definitely earned their reputation for amazing food and friendly service.“

“First off let me say nobody make food like this restaurant. It’s a hole in the wall place with excellent service. The most tasty 👅 food ever. Pizza here is on a whole other level. The owner always comes by and says hi to us. Another thing I love about them the owner never says anything about my youngest bring outside food. My kid has autism so it’s hard to find places to eat where they allow us to enjoy a meal as a family. I love them for that. And the young gentleman cook 👨‍🍳 that always is so sweet and know what we want from the moment we walk in the door 🚪 thanks you for taking amazing care of us. He a staple in the restaurant I’ve seen him ever since we started coming and now it has been two years coming. Thank you guys for the amazing eats and love you show us.“

“Best service ever with Audi last night. Lovely live music as well. We have been in 3 times already and love it.“

“Food was amazing!! Definitely takes me back to Italy. Wish I lived closer!!“

“The food is amazing. I've been twice in a week span and I'm addicted. I ordered the Verona special pizza and not to sound like I'm boasting but it's one of the best pizzas I've ever had. the crust has this unique really tasty flavor. first visit I had the chicken parm and it came with two large chicken breasts smothered in red sauce with a good side of spaghetti noodles and sauce. It was amazing and very filling. This place is definitely a wonderful spot. And they are very busy with take out orders so you know the food great.“

“This is our new favorite Italian restaurant. It's a gem in West Plano. There is plenty of free parking right out front, in a lovely area. The interior of the restaurant is clean, stylish, bright, and cheery. We had superb service from the moment we entered the restaurant. We started with wine from a very good wine list, and the warm, freshly baked bread, of course. The shrimp scampi was excellent, featuring large, perfectly cooked shrimp in a delicious garlic and butter sauce, accompanied by garlic-toasted bread. The veal Marsala was top-notch, with a generous portion and great flavor. Perhaps the best marsala I've had. The Italian creme cake was a great way to finish the meal. Highly recommended!“

“Sitting at the light and craving Italian food/parmesan chicken. So, I googled Italian food and this place popped up 0.2 miles and I was like 🤔 guess that’s where I’m going! Lol And, I was definitely impressed with this place! Look at this plate! The salad was fantastic too! I’m not one to just go and try random places. But, I guess I’ll be doing it a lot more! Lol“

“From appetizers to desserts, Parma's exceeded all our expectations! Our entire party enjoyed the appetizers, the variety of delicious dishes! Their wings and calamari was a crowd-pleaser! Their portions are plentiful. I hosted my son's graduation dinner there. The staff at Parma's went above and beyond to make our experience memorable, with exceptional service that made us feel truly welcomed. The ambiance and food received high praise from all attendees, making Parma's a highly recommended dining destination.“

“Can't say enough good things about this place! Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Would be a great spot for a date night. Romantic feel but still casual. Very reasonably priced. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.“

“Delicious food that your nose can enjoy pouring out of their restaurant’s front door before your mouth gets to your chair!“

“Our food was exceptionally delicious tonight!!! Definitely recommend“

“We had a couples baby shower for our daughter and her husband with 35 guests in the party room last Saturday. From the lovely setting to the service and food, everything was incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you Holly, Ephraim and our amazing servers who helped make this a very special day.“

“Lovely ambiance, nice people. Fresh, unique. quality ingredients. We love it! ❤️“

“This is a great little Italian place. The started bread is probably some of the freshest and tastiest bread I have ever had, it definitely has that home made taste. The pizza was great and so was the mancotti. You won't go wrong eating here.“

“We first discovered this gem thru delivery and we were so impressed with the personal pizza and calzone that we had to go in! My fave is the Marguerita pizza. We’ve been in twice and love the service, fresh and tasty food and the price point! Lovely ambience. Can’t wait to go back with friends. Delicious 😋“

“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!“

“So we happen to notice this place across the street from my buddies apartment. Today we stopped in and order a little bit of everything. The creamy chicken soup was delicious, pasta was simple but also delicious. We ended with the crab cakes and I was so stuffed I only had 2 bites but it was worth it. Stacy was our server and she did a great job from recommendations to attentiveness. I think we just found a new go to by the house. $56 dollar for 2 grown men is a bargain for what we got. Thank you“

“This is my first time in this restaurant and I'm in love with it, the food is excellent and very inexpensive the service was awesome I will need back.“

“Service was great sitting in the bar area. But, the air conditioning blowing straight on me wasn't exactly enjoyable. It was 43 degrees outside. Really? I wanted a warm meal and a warm place to dine. 😉
My salad and pasta was good. The breadsticks were overcooked/tough. Maybe that's a sign I shouldn't be eating comfort food.“

“This Italian place is a game-changer. I've tried many others, but this one stands out from the crowd. Authentic flavors, perfectly cooked pasta, and warm service. It's a must-visit for Italian food lovers!“

“Had the Philly Cheesesteak sub and the Pesto Mozzarella sub, both were excellent!! Great menu selection and awesome tasty food!“

“We tried the Gallo Nero food today. The two women that greeted us at the front door were so polite and helpful. We had ordered a pizza and piece of cake to go and we decided eat on the patio. They brought out a high chair for my infant daughter and brought out all the food to the patio. It was such wonderful dining experience. The wife and I rarely get to go on a date with young kids but this was not only amazing food but awesome service. I will be back again with more friends and family.“

“Last nights was our first time to eat here. We were looking for a nice place to eat for Valentine’s dinner and I googled and found this place. It was perfect! Great prices, delicious food and great service! We will be back and bringing another couple or two with us! ❤️🍷😋“

“My family has been going for a decade plus. Our favorite Italian place. You can’t go wrong with the food, drinks or desserts.“

“Lombardi's catered my wife's birthday party at our home and did an incredible job. Chef went way out of his way and prepared the BEST spread I could have ever imagined. George came and helped serve and tended bar. He was so gracious and everyone loved him. Can not say enough about how happy my wife was. We are always treated like royalty when we dine in the restaurant. If you have a house party these are the go to folks to make it special. Pepe, George, Stefan and the rest of the A Team. Thank you. You are all special to us!“

“This is within the circle of Addison Circle, and offers a great atmosphere and especially great service. The place is very calm and clean with the staff and owners putting hard work into offering great service. They also provide treats at the door whether you are entering or leaving

Their pizzas are high quality and is especially great for large gatherings. Which is especially convenient when you want to treat yourself in the communities annual events like Oktoberfest coming up shortly. Personally for my pizza of choice, it’s definitely the Marco’s Pizza“

“Was feeing Italian food and my friend and I wanted to also eat at a place that gave us a European vibe. Food was decently good. Service was great, staff was kind and professional. We ordered calamari, the mussels and linguine in red sauce and a chicken Alfredo pasta, finished with coffees and a lemon cream cake. The pasta dishes were good and plentiful but I feel like the mussels and linguine was missing some seasoning that I can’t quite put a finger on. It was still good. The lemon cream cake was good but the lemon was almost too subtle, and it tasted more like a pound cake. We still enjoyed our food and time there. I wouldn’t mind giving it another go. Great for small or large groups. Till then let’s eat!“
