“Excellent service. Catered an event for me and could not have been more pleased. Food was delicious and plentiful. You cannot go wrong using this restaurant.“

“We cannot thank Tony’s Pizza & Pasta enough for their incredible support of the Morningside Elementary Glow Dance this past Friday, April 10! It was such a joy partnering with a team that is not only generous but also incredibly efficient and professional. The pizza was absolutely amazing—fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with everyone at the event! They made the entire process seamless, allowing us to focus on creating a fun and memorable experience for the kids and families. We are so grateful for their partnership and will definitely be back—not just as customers, but as proud partners for future events. Highly recommend!“

“Pizza vibe is one of my favorite hangout spots. The pizza is incredibly delicious and worth every bite. I also love the hookah sessions here; unlike other places, they last for a couple of hours. Whether you’re looking for takeout or a dine-in experience, Pizza vibe is a great place to have a good time with friends.“

“Great food & service! Highly recommend the chicken parm & chicken Madeira!“

“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 my daughter’s baby shower here today. Food was awesome and they took great care of us.“

“Huge shout out to Parry’s in The Colony and its manager, Ben! We had a very poor experience with DoorDash, and Ben stepped up to the plate and made everything Perfect! We will definitely be back! Thanks again! PS. The Pizza is Awesome!“

“First time visitor to The Colony Fun Pizza Kitchen location. I placed a to-go order online. My order was ready about 5 minutes after the estimated time, which was fine with me. I ordered a 10 inch build your own personal pizza with a gluten free crust with beef, cheddar cheese, marinara sauce, and pineapple. I would have added more toppings, however, with those toppings alone it was $20.98 pre-tax. The gluten free pizza crust was not chewy or dry like some places. Overall, the pizza was very tasty, especially the marinara sauce. Their marinara seasoning blend was one of the best I have ever tasted. I would revisit, but not that often due to the price.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“We love this location! Great service every time. Delicious food & amazing cocktails. We bring the kiddos too and they are so good and understanding with them“

“Delicious food! Super fresh!!“

“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!“

“Nice atmosphere.. Staff is attentive ...Meal was spot on!“

“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.“

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

“I saw this place reccomended on TikTok and decided to try it out and do not regret it! The place was lovely and our server, Luigi, I believe his name was, was absolutely incredible. Super friendly and attentive despite us not being his only table. Everything in the restaurant was clean and pretty, and the atmosphere was inviting. The food was incredible, and I particularly enjoyed the tiramisu. The strawberries that came with it was just so delicious and balanced the whole meal out. My boyfriend and I couldn't stop talking about it once we left. Overall, hidden gem! I will definitely be back“

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

“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!“

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

“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. 💙“

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

“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.“

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

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

“great place, friendly staff, excellent food.“

“We’ve passed by Roma’s several times but tonight we finally decided to try it out. The ambiance, service, and food was excellent! The Italian music was especially nice for a relaxing meal. 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!“

“Fun experience, friendly efficient staff and good atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Loved DeEva! First time at the place for a valentine dinner with my wife! She got the salmon which she loved, i didn't like the veal so i sent it back but the owner came back asking what else they could do for me which i said loved the salmon and they brought it out to me! Me and my wife are definitely gonna go back the service and food was amazing! Also the love entertainment was amazing as well!“

“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.“

“We drive up by Oklahoma border just to eat Nicks pizza, it’s our number 1 pizza place to come too! The kids pizza class was also a hit!“

“Great service and good 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!“

“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“

“We recently used this Olive Garden for catering a dinner event for more than 100 people, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Devon and Logan were exceptional so helpful, organized, and attentive throughout the entire process. Everything was set up smoothly, which made a big difference in keeping such a large event stress-free.

Managing an event of that size is no small task, but the team handled everything with professionalism and care. They made sure all the details were covered and that everything was ready on time, which gave us complete peace of mind.

We truly appreciated their support and will absolutely be using them again in the future!“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“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.“

“I decided to try something new before grocery shopping. I'm glad I did. Nice atmosphere, I even ordered an appetizer. Pork chop, carrots, crispy potatoes. Got a to go box. Wanted to leave a good review. Dallas has many restaurant options. This is my new favorite. Only $33. It's all I need.“

“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! ❤️🍷😋“

“Food was amazing. We had the Bruschetta and was the best we’ve had. We had the Cordon Blue and Chicken Marsala who’s both were amazing and good size servings. We stayed for dessert and the cakes were great. It was quiet for our visit but place is nicely in order. Amazing food and service from Denati.“
