“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!“

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!“

“The staff here deserve a raise! Especially Tay and Tee, these girls know how to put together a comforting meal, they are absolutely wonderful and provided such friendly, welcoming service. They were both so kind, patient, and attentive, and really made my visit enjoyable. It’s always nice to come across people who genuinely care about providing great customer service.
The food is delicious, but the amazing service make it even better! They deserve some recognition for being so great at what they do. I’ll definitely be coming 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.“

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

“Delicious food! Super fresh!!“

“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.“

“First, the owner Ari and his beautiful are just the nicest couple. Ari tries to make the rounds to each table to make sure customers are enjoying themselves. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has great ambiance. The food was delicious and staff perfectly attentive. Total class!“

“From Chicago new to Texas. The Chicago Bear deep dish is the closest I’ve had. The Dallas thin was also delicious! Amazing service. We WILL be back.“

“My mom and I came to eat here yesterday for lunch. We had the bruschetta, which is by far the best bruschetta I have ever had. It is so unique and flavorful and could be a meal of its own if you’re looking for a light meal. The house salad was so fresh! I had the pasta and she had the chicken piccata. In my opinion, this is better than Maggiano’s! You can tell they put a lot of love into their food (compliments to the chefs) and I’m just so grateful to have such a lovely and healthy restaurant so close to home because it’s hard to find good food these days. I will definitely return to try the chicken noodle soup and pizza! Thank you, Arbor , for taking care of us“

The wine was very good, and the price point was comparatively low. We enjoyed a lovely dinner and have added Roma’s to our list of favorites!“

“The food was extremely good. I had the Calamari fir starter, the beef shirt ribs with Chianti and mushroom sauce and mash potatoes. The ribs was fall off the bone tender, and Lemonchello cream cake with fresh black coffee and prices are very good (<$65). Everything was very tasty and I will definitely be coming back and recommend this restaurant for all occasions.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Kevin was by far the best waiter/server we have ever encountered at any Olive Garden, and we visit a lot of them! His kindness and patience were unmatched. His customer service was truly top-notch, and we genuinely appreciated everything he did to make our experience so enjoyable.

Thank you, Kevin, for being so wonderful at what you do. Keep being great—you’re an absolute asset to Olive Garden! ⭐👏“

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

“Great place , take advantage of the take out , the incredible wine list . This is real Italian ! Also has a prime steak that’s the BOMB ! Really good .“

“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.“
