50 Best Italian Restaurants near Westlake

“They have a really thin crust pizza. Good size and value for the price. Fried cheese sticks were decent with a good cheese pull on the mozzarella. Pizza by the slice available. Bar is next door to the pizza section. Besides pizza, looks like a nice selection of Italian pasta, entrées, subs, and desserts to choose from. When busy, parking can be tough.“

“First time trying and easily one of our new favorite spots ! High quality food and excepcional service. We had Abby as our friendly waiter. She contributed to making it a very pleasant and enjoyable first experience.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly environment“

“Cafe Italia is such a cute mom and pop restaurant where it truly makes you feels like you're having a fresh family dinner at home. The food was sooo good. The sauces in their dishes were probably the best sauces that I've tasted at an Italian restaurant. Highly recommend the Fettuccine Alfredo! Also...y'all, PLEASE ask for Nick and have him do a magic show for your party. Seriously mind blowing magic that is so personal making you think you've escaped reality for a second. Definitely a great place for dinner and a fun time!“

“Great place for Gelato. They make it right here in the store. It's very delicious. We are visiting friends here in Justin, Texas and we have been here twice already. For coffee lovers, we tried the Affagato with expresso shots and they were great. Will probably be back again before we leave. If you're in Justin, Texas, make sure you give them a try.“

“Sophisticated menu and expertly prepared dishes. We started with the Burrata which was served along with premium figs and prosciutto. My hearts of palm salad was fresh and bean presented. I’ve included pictures of the osso bucco! Fall off the bone richness! I recommend the gnocchi with truffles and mushrooms. Classy service from Jordan!“

“The interior design is sterile and lacks any charm of character. The dining room resembles a grade school cafeteria during classes. The food is tasty but I have yet to experience anything unique on the menu. Good service, cleanliness and decent Italian cuisine staples abound here but you probably won't be wowed by anything.“

“They have this mastered! Customer service and excellent in taste and presentation of food! The portions are large and the prices are fair. Plus you get to bring your own wine! I am vegan so they made me whole wheat rigatoni. The pasta texture was perfect and the flavor of the San Marzano tomato sauce was out of this world! My husband had chicken Valdostano Our son had seafood over pasta. We all were very pleased also their salads are humongous so be prepared for that as well as they are delicious and creative! We don’t live here but I can’t wait to come back to southlake again for a business to visit This very special restaurant again!“

“Awesome Crust! Pizza is literally Perfect. Mm mm. Joes Pizza and Pasta in Watauga is the best in our Area. Alex Pizza and Pasta is better in my opinion. Coming from Bronx, Ny this pizza is on point. Thin crust not too airy, good amount of cheese and flavorful. I hope they keep this quality. Great Job! 10/10“

“We love this Joe’s pizza and pasta in Watauga. The spaghetti is excellent as is the pizza. Absolutely love the homemade house dressing that they have for their salads.The service is top notch also. It’s a great place, reasonably priced with excellent food.“

“Very good place, excellent food and service, I can only say wow for the delicious food and the attention an 11 out of 10, very friendly and helpful service, you will not regret it if you come here, and suggestion let them surprise you when placing your order ask Give them a recommendation themselves, I will return again to try more of the menu“

“Best Italian restaurant… our server recommended the special veal chop. My husband said it’s the best he’s ever had. I had the chicken and shrimp special and it was so good. The chicken was so tender. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant.“

“I needed to order a cake for someone with a VERY strict diet. DeVivo Bros. was the only place that would consider taking this vegan and dairy free cake order. They were up front with me and told me this is a first-time order but he did his research and was willing to give it a try. This cake not only turned out beautiful but was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!“

“Absolutely one of the best small town local Italian eateries. The food quality and flavors here are incredible. The staff are truly amazing, friendly, and outgoing. I would recommend Joe's over any Italian restaurant out there. Try the Alfredo sauce with your rolls! You won't be sorry!“

“This place is a wonderful family owned restaurant with flavorful, fresh, and creative food. You feel like part of the family when you are here - not the crazy kind, but the loving kind.Sunny and her daughter, Selma, make you feel like they have known you forever and are very attentive.Prices are great for a big plate of food.“

“Love the beautiful atmosphere and the owner/head chef came out to meet us and ask how our food was she was very kind and informative. Service was quick and staff was kind and helpful. Pizza was delicious!! The best we have found in the area! We will be back.“

“Pizza 5 stars, Lasagna 10 stars, most everything 5 stars...BUT the Greek Salad, just sad. Ugh!Greek salad with a butload of green and black olives? Gotta go KALMATA. Balsamic/Vinegarette dressing? or even worse, ITALAINAN dressing or TSAZIKI? Needs Kalmata olives and a CREAMY GREEK dressing and NOT TSAZIKI sauce or a creamy "italian".. that is for Gyros! Offer an option for Calamari with it and I see heaven. Peppericinis on the side. heaven, but none.LOVE NAPOLIS and most everything they do but love Greek salads done right is heaven.c'mon gents...you can do it!“

“Good upscale pizza spot, even if it is a bit chaotic. Once you finally find parking in this patch of Southlake retail and walk up, the fair-sized covered patio can be pretty inviting. However, if you brave the indoor area, you'll feel like you've stumbled into a college town pizza pub for the middle-aged. The wooden interior and high ceilings combine for a noisy environment once it starts getting busy. After being seated, we watched servers and food runners scurry around from table to table, trying to keep up while simultaneously missing an opportunity to greet us and get drinks started (took a good 5 minutes to reveal who was working our table).But honestly, these are minor gripes in the big picture here. Once they arrived, our server was friendly and quick on the drinks when they weren't rushing between tables. We opted for the family dinner, which is both a good deal and a lot of leftovers if you have 4 people or less. We added a meatball appetizer, and the seasoned meat and marinara went great with the perfectly toasted bread. The pretzel that came with the dinner package was okay, but honestly felt more like a giant, twisted breadstick (the queso that we paid extra for didn't do it any favors, either). The farm style salad was actually really delicious, probably helped by coating the whole bowl with ranch. This is also the point of the dinner when we realized that we needed to hurry up and finish our first course(s), as table real estate was VERY limited for us, and a big pizza was soon to be en route. The Classic Rossa came out piping hot, but still soft enough that toppings were hanging on for dear life as I scarfed each delicious slice. If you're an older pizza fan, or just a family that's had enough CiCi's for a while, you'll like the step up in class this pizza place provides.Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza and salads“

“Tony's is your basic strip mall pizza and pasta joint.. I've been going here for close to 25 years. Their food is always very good. We absolutely love their pizza. Thin slices, wonderful crustTheir Alfredo sauce is the best around. We order an extra order of Alfredo sauce to dip our pizza in and it is so very yummy.The service is great. They have a big back room if you want to have a big group. You really just can't go wrong with tony's pizza and pasta“

“It is a pleasure to go into a place of business that you haven't visited in a long time and the ownership recognizes you. Delicious food and awesome staff!???Parking: Plenty of parking behind the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: There are Kid menusWheelchair accessibility: Has handicapped parking and ramps for wheelchair accessibility.“

“Went here today for my parents 41st Anniversary dinner. Not only was the food amazing, but the entire experience was wonderful! The hostess showed us all of the specials and explained each one, the waiter Michael was extremely attentive and provided amazing service. The manager came over to introduce herself as well and even made our dessert at the table. My wife says the Gnocchi is the best she’s ever had! The steak is better than any other steakhouse in the area! Beyond all of this, my mother is handicap and uses a walker. At the end of our night Michael walked us out and held the door open for us. Best experience at a restaurant you could ask for. Highly recommend to everyone!“

“So, I'm up in the area sometimes for business and I saw this being built. Opened recently so went to check out the pasta. You can order one of four types on the menu board, or build your own. I'm lazy, I went for the Pasta Diavolo, (spicy sauce) you have a choice of penne or spaghetti, I went with spaghetti. Tomato's, green onion, and parmesan cheese. You can add on a meat to it, but I just got the pasta alone. I added a parmesan piada stick cause it looked good and I love bread. Little concerned when I noticed both pastas just sitting in an open holding urn type thing on the prep line. Worried it might be a little dried out. But when they put it together, it was pasta first, then covered with sauce, then added other items. They didn't toss it, just covered and served. Got mine to go, and when I opened it I noticed that the sauce probably, (or maybe?) had helped to remoisten and warm it some. Anyway, it was tender and warm when I tried it. ...and it was good stuff. I kinda like the simple amount of ingredients. Not overdone with tons of things clashing with each other. The parmesan stick was a long narrow hunk of bread with melted cheese inside. Not much cheese in each end, but plenty in the middle. It was good, but at $3.49 I don't think it was that great a value. Probably gonna try the lobster bisque next time. Anyway, two sizes pasta, small and regular, I got the regular for $10.99 and I think it was a pretty good deal. With the bread stick it came out about $15 or so total. Seemed pretty reasonable to me. I can say that I will probably be going back occasionally when I'm in the area.“

“Definitely a family ambiance. Great place to relax and enjoy a nice glass of wine.When you see that the owner herself is around and checking on her customers, that’s a good sign of quality.A few suggestions:Go easy on the dressing on the house/featured salad … great taste though.(Not critical) Most servers, if not all, are wearing a uniform, which makes this little restaurant feel special, but one did not… I’m sure he can do it next time ?.Kudos! Well done ?“

“This place is great! You definitely get your moneys worth of food since it is a big portion! The pasta is delicious and the food tastes homemade and rich! My partner and I will definitely be returning soon! I’m so full and satisfied! The customer service is beyond amazing as well! I enjoyed the family feel good environment. I 100% recommend this place!“

“I’ve visited Amano one time and now I’m a regular. The owner himself is very engaged with his customers and the staff is awesome. Family owned business and each one of them is dedicated to success. You will not be disappointed. Ask for Agnesa or Dakota. They are both awesome“

“I went there on Tuesday and felted the pizzas differently then how they used to be and I was going to have a party on Sunday and order 20 pizzas but they lost a customer the first one is the one I would get every Tuesday I would go all beautiful And the second one is the one that I got on Tuesday the cheese all “

“Walking in reminded us of our old time Italian Steakhouse. Great ambiance. When you walk in you are immediately taken to a display of the house specialties and each is described in detail. Next to that is a small Antipasto “Bar” that you can order from and it will be dished up by your server. We were lucky enough to have Arturo as our waiter and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable and had amazing recommendations. My husband had the dover sole and I had the Filet Dianana. Both were finished and served table side and both were amazing. There is so much more to say about this place but I will finish with we will definately be back many more times!!!!“

“This place has been here for 17 years. I got a flyer on my door.went by the next door had a order before me she came over to see if her order was ready. I had ordered a slice. Like 10 minutes before. We talked about 10 more. Then she went to the kitchen next door order was ready . So another 10 minutes my order was ready so it took about 40 minutes for a small pizza and a slice. Not good“

“My husband & I just had an incredible dinner together at Armend’s. The menu has a great variety of options to choose from for whatever you may be craving that day. We had ordered several appetizers and were blown away by each one. The main dishes were absolutely incredible and can’t wait to try more next time we go! We finished our dinner with the delicious strawberry cheesecake. We were extremely impressed with the service & truly loved the atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Excellent food, and the staff was cordial and friendly. Ever since Medici closed we've been looking for an italian restaurant and I believe we've found our new go-to.Vegetarian options: Like most italian restaurants, you can modify all the pastas and pizzas to be without meat. The salads are also excellent.“

“First time trying Toscanas for date night! The atmosphere was nice, with a bar area for drinks. The service was great, our waitress Bianca was kind. I got the Chicken Alfredo pasta, it was creamy and delicious. My husband got the Chicken Parmigiana. I could not stop trying his, because the cheese was heaven. I’m definitely going back next time im in Euless.“

“This is a place awesome. I love this restaurant so much because it has some awesome Italian food such as Lasagna, Pizza, Meatballs, and many other foods you can think of that other Italian restaurants serve.They also have cheese sticks, salads, and sandwiches as well. This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever gone to because the food is top-notch. If you are in the Highland Village, Texas area, please check out this outstanding restaurant.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Inzo and was blown away by the impeccable service provided by their server, Julie. From start to finish Julie went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Julie was very attentive and one of the best servers I've ever had. I will definitely be coming back to see Julie and hope to have her as my server again!!!!“

“I really dig this place for pizza any chance I happen to be in the neighborhood. Every time Ive visited, service and food have always been perfect. Granted, I usually stick with the lunch special which consists of a small pizza and a drink, but it's worth it every time. Not once have I been disappointed, and I leave here always eager to come back again.“

“The food is delicious. Though they have veal piccata, would be nice to have a chicken alternative. Though small inside, they make use of every square inch. It can get quite loud, especially if there are birthday celebrations. Nonetheless, a good restaurant. Will definitely be back when in Southlake again.“

“No one tops Ruggeri's Been coming to Ruggeri's original since the 80's soory to see Dallas close but new location in Colleyville is really nice for date night and the food is amazing. Highly recommend especially now that weather is cooling and fires are blazing...AAA+++“

“We’ve dined here several times over the years. If it were closer we’d be there more often. Always a great experience. Inside is nice - dark with dark table cloths to give a more upscale feel. The food is wonderful with a menu filled with Italian favorites including veal and some interesting items that you might not expect. They have a table-side flaming wheel carbonara - which I haven’t tried but how could it not be good. I recall a steak that you could cook over rocks as well. I had a dry aged NY strip for the first time the other night and it was amazing. The chef makes great food and this steak was exceptional. Great place.“

“I had just arrived in Keller from Houston and the kids got hungry. With 10 minutes before closing I quickly called and asked if it was too late to order s pizza. The gentlemen said perfect timing! Ordered a large Pizza and it would be ready in 10-15 minutes. I was less than a mile away and made it there in 10 minutes. Not only was the pizza ready but the gentleman who took my order was super friendly and accommodating. Thank you for getting me that pizza and drinks. The pizza was amazing and me being from the Bronx, NY, it’s hard to find a great Pizza. Highly recommend this place.“

“Amazing place. Upscale urban atmosphere. Excellent, excellent food. Every detail is well done. From the pancetta to the salad to the excellent lobster ravioli, it demonstrated great care in every detail. But the most telling detail was the extensive wine list. Someone with a real understanding of wine created this wine list. Well done.“

“My husband and I love coming here. Probably at least once every two weeks. Their new manager Bryan is amazing. Super friendly and makes sure all of our needs are taken care of. He even recognizes us every time we come in. Not to mention the food is absolutely delicious.“

“The drinks, kids chicken strips with waffle fries, wings, and shrimp scampi were excellent! Everything was flavored just on point. Excellent service and a chill vibe, with a kool bar right in the middle of the restaurant. Next time trying the loaded Bloody Mary!“

“Chicken Genovese was WONDERFUL! Full of mushroom flavor! The portion was generous and enough for me to bring half home for dinner tomorrow night. And best, fresh baked bread, 2 entrees (salad included with entree) and 1 glass of house wine was under $45! We will definitely be going back!“

“My partner and I tried this place on a whim after a long day, and we are so glad we did. This place is amazing.To start, the food is absolutely INCREDIBLE. It is genuinely some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. The garlic knots they set as table bread were so dense and flavorful they could be an appetizer all on their own. The red sauce was phenomenal. We got entrees and each came with a house salad as a starter and the Red Wine Vinegar dressing was legitimately AMAZING. It was phenomenal. We got fried ravioli as our starter and they were so good. The ricotta was perfectly seasoned and the ravioli were fried to perfection with awesome breading with herbs and Parmesan cheese. Our entrees came out and they were mountains of food and they were absolutely delicious. I got chicken parmigiana and my partner got tortellini in vodka sauce. We also got a calzone to split and didn’t expect it to be as huge and delicious as it was. The sauce is all house made, the chicken parmigiana was quite frankly the best I’ve ever had, and the calzone was stuffed to bursting with ricotta and was phenomenal. Everything was delicious and in heaping portions that left even me, a notorious black hole, tapping out. We had plenty of leftovers to take home to enjoy later. We got cannoli for dessert and while I have never liked cannoli, I’ve also never had a cannoli like THAT. It was just as surprising and wonderful as everything else. 5/5 stars for food and quality.Our service was top-notch. Our server was perfectly attentive, honest, funny, and very kind to us. I wish I had caught her name but she was wonderful. Our food was out relatively quickly, but with the courses, conversation, and her attentiveness it felt fast as you’d like it to be. Never had to ask for anything, never had to call her over but not in a disturbing or overbearing way. She also told great stories and had recommendations that were perfect. 5/5Atmosphere is to be expected from a hole in the wall restaurant, in my opinion you aren’t coming for the looks, you’re coming to get FED. It’s definitely more working-class than bougie, and that’s more our style. Perfect for after work or as a day trip, but maybe not for prom night. Family restaurant through and through. 5/5We had such good food and experience that even though we’re not in Grapevine ourselves, my partner and I have agreed that any time we have to go to Dallas it’s worth stopping in Grapevine just for the food and service. We absolutely will be returning. I normally HATE writing reviews, but this place was truly worth it. I cannot sing its praises enough. If you’re in Grapevine or just traveling through, it’s worth the stop.“

“Service was amazing from the very beginning. My baby spilled his drink and the waitresses immediately cleaned up and assured me everything was okay. If you're a parent, you know this situation is embarrassing & waiters usually make it worse w an attitude. Not here. They were wonderful. The food was soo good. I got the chicken fettuccine alfredo and garlic bread w cheese. Family got pizza slices which were also very tasty. We were stuffed and everything was decently priced. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Have been coming to fireside for years and it’s always been a pleasant experience.We got the sweet and spicy pie and burrata pesto(a classic). The sweet and spicy had salami so we subbed it for meatballs. While It wasn’t my favorite, it definitely was my wife’s. As for the burrata pesto; just a solid pizza that everyone I’ve taken here loves. Since it doesn’t come with a meat - you could add to it if you like - it a good choice for our family members that eat halal.Ambience: The place is dimly lit and cozy.Service: The servers and host are always friendly.Tip: if you like bruschetta, you should try some here.“

“Bari’s is awesome, my kiddo said to mention they have the best pizza, I really enjoyed the veal Parmesan, the owners are from NYC, you could taste the authenticity. The owner took care of us and was so gracious and patient as we had a table with 4 kids. A must go in Flower Mound!“

“We had my son’s rehearsal dinner there and it was fantastic. They made us a little area on the patio and it was perfect. It was 30 people on a Friday night and they managed beyond our expectations. Great service, great atmosphere and great food!“

“I have lived here for 30 years and completely forgot how good the food is here. I have been here 3 times since and I feel terrible and missed out on great meals all of these years. They still use the highest quality foods and Tia is the original owner and still does the cooking. They only take cash or checks so be prepared. That is the only negative, but the food is worth the inconvenience. The pizza's are fantastic!“

“Yes, the pizza really is new york style! Thinner and crispier crust, run by good folks. Also just like new york, you can order it by the slice (and they're BIG- do not think domino's). And it's not like 7-11 where it's been sitting out all day under a heating lamp; they cook it about 85% and finish it off once you order and add whatever toppings you want. Felt like I was back in Manhattan!Parking: Parking will not be an issue“

“I’ve been getting pizzas from Giovanis for about three years. I get one about every week. Never gets old. They are absolutely amazing amazing pizza. I get the jumbo extra-large 17 inch pepperoni mushroom always a generous portion of sauce, meat and mushrooms. These guys are amazing. Always pleasant to Cesar and Leo are a family business you should check them out great New York style pizza, thin crust just the best at a good value woo hoo thank you Giovanni’s Pizza.“

“It has been years since I’ve had Coal Vines, and this was my first visit to the Southlake location.Very quaint and inviting ambience inside with low light and tabletop candles - somewhat noisy but nice atmosphere.Complimentary zucchini chips were great.Spinach salad was also very good, but would prefer more pear and walnuts and less Gorgonzola, as it is VERY Gorgonzola heavy between the cheese and dressing itself.Pizza was probably the best I’ve had in a long time! Sauce had a perfect flavor, high-quality cheese and the crust has thin, but substantial enough to not be soggy like some neopolitan styles can be.Service was attentive and friendly. Will absolutely come back - I prefer this pizza to the other local options.“
