“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!!“

“Had an opportunity to bring my mom from Ohio here this evening and we had such a wonderful experience. My mom ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and they were so good, she had to meet the chef behind the scenes to proclaim how they were the best she’s ever had. If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant rooted in the history of Italy, look no further! Thank you Nick for the hospitality as well!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and fast friendly service!“

“Mo is amazing! Ask for him as your server!“

“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!“

“Had dinner with 2 other couples and couldn’t be more pleased with the food, the atmosphere, and the service! Arnetta was the most kind and accommodating server and owner! Bennie, her husband and co-owner, is a fabulous chef! I had the lasagna and it was so delicious and , if you can believe it, light. Perfect portion to satisfy without feeling like you have a brick in your stomach. The tiramisu was Devine. My hisband had the chicken piccata and it was lemony, light, moist, and delicious! Can’t wait to come back.“

“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.“

I can tell that she is very passionate about what she does and makes every customer feel special. The food though, delicious!!!! I mixed marinara and Alfredo delectable.! Thank you to Chef Tay and her staff for being incredible!“

“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.“

“Niki's Italian in Plano is your cozy neighborhood restaurant. It's a place for a quiet meal for two or where you and your friends can enjoy terrific food and friendship. My wife and I discovered Niki's this afternoon for lunch and we were beyond delighted! Chef Arber, a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, knows how to put out culinary masterpieces that dazzle the taste buds. His experience included working for five years at a Michelin two star restaurant in Manhattan. Chef Arber is friendly and outgoing and spent some time visiting with us. My wife had a Caesar salad followed by chicken piccata. The chicken was tender and juicy enhanced by the lemon, butter, and caper sauce. These sat atop perfectly cooked pasta. I had a mixed green salad with the most tantalizing red salad dressing. I had spaghetti and meat sauce. I asked if he could give me an arrabiata sauce, which he did, and he definitely brought out the full flavor of the tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices. We completed our meal with the most delicate, freshly made tiramisu. It was so light, we could barely keep it from rising off the plate into our mouths. All in all, this is now our neighborhood Italian place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service and good food“

“I love Testa! It’s been my favorite restaurant since moving to Texas. The food is incredibly authentic, fresh and healthy, and the flavors are so authentic—it truly reminds me of the pizza in Italy. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. Testa never disappoints and is always my go-to when I want something delicious and real. 💙“

“I am a rare person who does not use social media. I don't write reviews. But after a wonderful dinner, our family was served last Saturday night, something needed to be said. My son-in-law and I are fortunate to share a birthday. Kathy and I have wanted to try Crudo's for about a year. Last Saturday, we were joined by our two daughters and son-in-law, plus our grandkids. So three generations were there. We each agree it was the most memorable experience we have had in a very long time. Ernesto did a great job serving fantastic meals and desserts. I love that the atmosphere is welcoming and quiet enough that we could actually talk with one another. But what happened after dinner really sticks with me. Ari, the owner, chased me down in the parking lot to again wish me Happy Birthday and say how much he appreciated spending it with my family. That was amazing. We will be back again and again.“

“I Love Everything About This Restaurant!! Everyone Is Very Nice !! The Food Is Always Fresh And Delicious!! My Favorite Is The Calzone!! Omg Soooooo Gooooood !! My Sons And I Would Go There Almost Every 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“I visited Casa Pollastro yesterday and loved it. The service and food were all wonderful. I recommend everyone to visit.“

“Olive Garden surprised me in a good way. I’d give it an 8.5/10.

It’s been a long time since my last visit, so I came in with tempered expectations, but I was genuinely impressed. The food was flavorful, fresh, and really hit the spot. The service was also great throughout the meal.

My only minor critique is that the server never offered additional breadsticks or salad. Since that’s one of Olive Garden’s signature perks, I think it should be checked on and offered more proactively.

Other than that, it was a very enjoyable experience with good food, great company, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Not only was the food fantastic, but I had the best experience with the kindest woman over the phone. After an issue ordering online, she went out of her way to ensure my order was just what I wanted, and that small gesture may have just made my night! Thecar dressing was amazing. My Mediterranean pizza, with chicken added, was incredible. And the vanilla cannoli, oh my goodness. Incredible service, friendly staff, delicious, fresh food.“
