“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!!“

Restaurant a little loud“

“If your looking for a twist on pizza than this is the place. Unique version of pizza was incredibly delicious. Non spicy version including kids menu she spicy version. You can taste how fresh the toppings are, perfectly cooked with a crunchy bottom crust. Highly recommended! Only catch is the price is high but worth a try to surprise your taste buds. Will definitely go back and bring everyone I know.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Authentic Italian heaven! Baonecci Ristorante truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff's warm smiles and inviting hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The pasta dishes were cooked to perfection, and the flavors transported me straight to Italy. But what really stole the show was their exceptional wine selection - the sommelier's recommendations were spot on! What impressed me most was the authenticity of the dishes, clearly made with love and care. Every bite was a taste of Italy's rich culinary heritage. The staff's knowledge and passion for the food and wine were evident in every interaction. If you're craving genuine Italian cuisine and top-notch service, Baonecci Ristorante is a must-visit. Can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“I spent my Birthday here and it was amazing! The food was delicious the service was great and the atmosphere was amazing. Highly 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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food, service, quality of ingredients, portion sizes and menu options! I have been to Napoli’s of West Plano probably over 5 times now with my family and friends. Every time I have come here the wait staff is eager and happy to serve. There hasn’t been a dish that I have ordered that i didn’t like and the freshness of the ingredients is really outstanding. I am very pleased with this restaurant and hope they get more business.

Also the fish dishes Grilled Salmon and Pan fried Tilapia are amazing!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“We had a great experience at this Olive Garden. The food was good and the service really set it apart. Our server, Lauren, was helpful on menus choices, very attentive (she must had refilled our salad twice proactively). Thanks for the great dinner for the 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! ❤️🍷😋“

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

“I have been coming to Sweet Basil since I was a child, and it is always at the top of my list when visiting home. I recommed the baby crab claw appeteizer, house salad with home made dressing, and the pasta messina. I can't wait to come back for another visit!“

“The prawns? Incredible. My husband loved them so much he went back for seconds! Every plate had great flavor, though the chicken could use a touch of sauce to keep it from being dry. We were a party of 12 in a private room, and while the space got a little warm, they adjusted it when we asked. The drinks? Spot on—well-made, with just the right kick, and zero complaints from our group.

Service was friendly and attentive, though the wait for food and drinks stretched a bit. We got there at 8 p.m., and dinner didn’t hit the table until 10. But since they’re newly opened, we were understanding. Staff was apologetic, and their warmth made up for the delays.

Bonus points for the bread—it was delicious! And the Cabernet was a nice touch, even if it took a while to arrive. All in all, a solid start for a new spot with a lot of potential!“

“I had been introduced to Antonio's by a friend. So when I had two family birthdays to celebrate, I knew exactly where I wanted to take them. We went to Antonio's on a weeknight and it was not crowded, allowing us to converse. Gonzalo was our excellent waiter who made our dining experience memorable. We all ordered different entrees and everything was was delivered hot and in a timely manner. Absolutely delicious! We had fabulous tiramisu for birthday dessert and ended the night with coffees. Of course, we'll be back.“

“Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had… Definitely the best pizza in Frisco!!

The service is always spotty and the atmosphere inside is very odd.

Nevertheless I’m a very loyal patron and I hope it doesn’t close.

I can confidently recommend any of the salads, the wings are good and regardless off the toppings you choice the pizza will be delicious“
