6 Best Italian Restaurants near Weslaco

“Wonderfully authentic Italian food. Best in the RGV. Always feel like family. Service good. I've tried, lazagna, steak piccata, Veal parmasan, and more. Everything is so good!“

“A wonderful place for a date night! We got the pepperoni pizza, tomato basil soup, and the cheesecake. The pizza was great with well balanced salt and good crust. The tomato basil soup is easily the best I've had. It was creamy and the perfect balance of savory and sweet. The cheesecake is a whipped style cheesecake with a nutty crust topped with cherries. It was delicious and not too sweet. The service was also great! I definitely recommend you support this historic local business.“

“This Olive Garden Italian Restaurant has a great location in Weslaco on the north side of Interstate 2 (Hwy 83) in front of the TJ Maxx and JC Penny Stores. They have a good sized parking lot, but at peak hours those can run out. No worries, as there is plenty of parking in the adjacent shopping center.

At 4 PM on a Sunday my party of 5 had a short wait for a table, shorter than the 20 minutes we were initially told. We were shown to a nice table. The facilities are relatively new, look beautiful, are clean and well maintained.

They offer a variety of soft drinks, iced teas, flavored infusions, wines, and other alcoholic beverages. I got the fresh brewed iced tea.

The menu is the same as other Olive Garden restaurants, offering all-you-can-eat salad or soup with your entree. I often get the Toscana Soup, but chose the salad and breadsticks this time. They have all the classic pastas like Eggplant Parmigiana, Chicken Parmigiana, Spaghetti, lasagne, Salmon, Steak Gorgonzola, Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Carbonara, and many more.

They also have a make-your-own option. You choose the kind of pasta you desire (including gluten free options) Rigatoni, Bowtie, Penne, Angela Hair, etc. Then choose your sauce and protein.

Of course, there are desserts. I would have ordered the Tiramisu, but was too full after the salad and my entree.

The service was very good. Our server came by several times to ensure we were OK and kept our drinks filled. The food was served timely, and was as beautiful as the pictures on the menu.

You can order more or pay at your table using the tablet kiosk that is on each table. Or, if you prefer to use cash, you can.

I enjoyed my meal. While the place was full, and there was music playing, the noise was not so loud as to hinder conversation. I will return.“

“Excellent choices, the broccoli cheese soup is great, spaghetti is delicious, unlimited buffet and drinks. I'm a regular.“

“The food at Gigi’s Restaurant & Cafe is absolutely delicious 😋 I had the cinnamon roll with pecans and raisins French toast with a side of scrambled eggs, sautéed potatoes and crispy bacon. Delicious 😋 Please stop by when you get a chance.“

“We just stopped by to get my 20mth old a slice of cheese pizza and wow I was taken back by the portion and how amazing the pizza was! Super friendly staff and not to mention their warm cookies. They definitely need to open more locations! 👍🏾👍🏾“
