15 Best Italian Restaurants in Waco

“Such a gem! The food is always on point, but the service is consistently impeccable! From the carpaccio, bruschetta, roasted beet salad, and burratta to the fish entrees , pastas, & and cocktails, I have never been disappointed.“

“We enjoyed our time here! Great food and service for our 22nd anniversary! We will definitely be back!“

“First time to eat here and what a wonderful experience! Owned by an Italian family and food is very authentic. The waitress was wonderful and very attentive and the food delicious! The bread was wonderful, not bread sticks, but baked to perfection brushed with garlic oil and parmesan sprinkled on top. I had the salad with chicken and the portions were plentiful, the salad fresh and crispy and the chicken was seasoned. So tasty and so very happy to find this great restaurant. Highly recommend.“

“Anytime we get a craving for pizza, Italia Express is always gonna satisfy! The SIZE FLAVOR of the pizza is always gonna keep us coming back! They also just got LEMON PEPPER wings and we’ve been waiting forever for this!! The wings were so good and flavorful, hopefully they keep them on the menu!! 10/10 ?“

“Me and few friends came in to this Olive Garden and we heard bad things about this restaurant but I don’t care what I heard at this point. We had the best waitress, I think her name was Shae or Chaylen. She is the reason we will be back. The only thing that left a bad taste in our mouth and almost brought us to the point of saying something to the Manager was some young kid that worked there was talking bad about our waitress behind her back to our table. Which I thought was so unprofessional. So to the young lady that we had, if you see this. Thank you for being a bright smile after we all had a long day at work. As for Olive Garden, train your people to be more professional, you are in the service of customer care, not petty stuff like talking someone else down to lift yourself up.“

“We ordered the Alaskan Wild Caught Salmon and the Contadino Pizza. The salmon was cooked per fectly and the pizza was amazing! Don't forget to treat yourself to one of their beautiful desserts. We recommend the Torta aAl Cioccolato which was out of this world!“

“Delicious pizza, great variety!“

“I cannot say enough great things about Armstrong’s! I usually get the crawfish étouffée and it’s ALWAYS delicious and only $10 for a generous portion. Today I ordered the gumbo $13, and it’s equally amazing! Their portion sizes are great, food is consistently delicious, and the service is fast. Definitely a great place for good Cajun cuisine in Waco, located amongst the many great restaurants/food vendors in Union Hall.“

“So yummy I’m going tonight!“

“Great experience! Alexis the bartender was fun and attentive. The wait staff is on top of their game! I had the patty melt and it was delicious! The music is loud enough to enjoy, but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. It was a fun time and I look forward to coming in again!“

“We’re from out of town and wanted to try a place that we don’t have where we’re from! This place did not disappoint! Great food and Faith, our server was phenomenal! Very friendly and attentive! All in all, a wonderful experience! We’ll be back the next time we’re in town!“
