"Great food and you definitely get A LOT for the price!!! Entrees are roughly 15-20$ each and for most it's enough for 2 or 3 meals. The service is quick and everyone takes care of you. Empty plate? It's gone in seconds. Need a refill? They've got it done before you even have to ask. Great family spot or fun for a date night."
"The service was fantastic! Ask for Viktoria. Comfy, relaxed environment. For food we had the chicken Alfredo was flavorful and lite . The sampler was very good, it's a large portions. It's great for when you can't make up your mind.The chicken piccata was lite and great flavor balance . Chicken was very tender . This place is a nice gem."

"This establishment is a total gem! My wife and I were in the area after celebrating our son's birthday. We couldn't remember the last time we ate Italian so we decided to stop by. After waiting for roughly 35-45 minutes, my family and I were seated and I immediately felt like I was at some Italian grandmother's home. The setting was so cozy and intimate! It was perfect for a Saturday night!I started off with the Wedding Soup and the Roman Salad (don't judge me haha). The wedding soup was so savory and inviting. I could've stopped there. The Roman Salad was light, fresh, crisp, and covered in cheese, just like I like it. My wife ordered the Sautéed Mushrooms for her appetizer. When I say "Must Get" I mean "Must Get". Absolutely Phenomenal! It was so rich and creamy and it was seasoned to perfection!I ordered Chicken Parm and Spaghetti as my entree and it did not disappoint. It's the classic Chicken Parm you come to expect from authentic Italian restaurants. I will most certainly return to this restaurant! I'm already plotting on my next meal! Also, shout out to our waitress Lindsey and the rest of the staff for their kindness!"
"Absolutely awesome! We have ordered from here 8 times now since moving to this area and every order has been awesome. The order are made correctly, good portion sizes, and quality ingredient's. The salads, meatballs, baked ziti is my fav, chicken olivia, and the cannoli you can't miss out on. One thing I love ordering here compared to others is when I order my baked ziti I can customize it and add a the meats I want and load it up. Other places you can't do that. Stop reading this and go place an order you wont regret it"
"The love that has been put into this place reflects on the service and quality. Long time customer. There is a reason I keep coming back."
"I'm from out of town and wanted to try this Italian restaurant. It did not disappoint! I loved the old world atmosphere and the food was excellent. I had a salad with blue cheese and lasagna. one of the best lasagnas I've ever had. Wish there was one of these in Colorado. Friendly, competent service as well."
"Ordered takeout from Partenope Ristorante, and let me just say--this pizza was phenomenal! The crust had that perfect Neapolitan-style char, crispy on the outside yet light and airy inside. The toppings were fresh and flavorful, with just the right balance of heat and richness. Every bite was packed with deliciousness!Even as takeout, the quality held up perfectly--no soggy crust, just pure, authentic pizza goodness. If you're in Dallas and craving top-tier pizza, this spot is a must! I'll definitely be ordering again."
"What a great find. I had a wonderful dinner at Avanti. The food was excellent, fresh, well seasoned and delicious. My past had steak medallions and they were cooked exactly as I requested. The service was perfect. Our waiter was so friendly and made sure our dinning experience pleasant. The interior is so lovely and it was decorated for Christmas which made everything look magical. I will put Avanti on my list of great dinner places."
"Never a bad time at Taverna! The staff is great and knowledgeable and I've never had a bad dish. Prices are fair as well. Every table has a purse stand!! Every restaurant should have these!! I love going on a nice day when I can sit outside or on the convertible patio."
"So good per usual! Had to go order bc I was too lazy to cook before Christmas. Had Cesar salad, strozzapreti, and a hot honey pizza. Everything was good. Love how different their Cesar salad is, they give you the whole lettuce leaves. Definitely try the strozzapreti if you love mushrooms. I think it had chicken in it. Parking is hard to find so you either need to pick up order before or after lunch crowd."
"Pizza and calzones have always been on point. They have some good speciality pizzas like the Buffalo Chicken pizza. The calzone was ~$11 with pepperoni. Some of the speciality pizzas can get a little pricey Staff was friendly and had plenty of space to sit down and eat while I assume it has a lot of takeout business."
"If you are looking for a good NY style slice in the DFW area you should do yourself a huge favor and check out Bay34th St. The slices are pretty close to what you get in NYC, they are sauced and cheesed excellently and the dough has the wonderful blend of crispy and chewy. They offer specialty pies if you're into that sort of thing, but you can't go wrong with the classic cheese or pepperoni. Ordered a few pies for a party and they arrived right on time. Excellent service and delicious pizza, what more can you ask for."

Roman's Cucina is one of the BEST italian resturants in the DFW area! This is one of my go-to dinner spots and I've consistently had stellar experiences each time I've gone. Firstly, they have some of the best complimentary breads of all time... it's perfectly fluffy, warm, and tastes so fresh! Not to mention, the bread is endless and served piping hot regardless of how many times it's ordered. It's truly become one of the things I look forward to the most when dining here!Not only is the bread amazing, but the pasta is also spectacular. I order the Fettuccine Pasta Rosa, and it hits each time. Firstly, the portion-to-price ($14) ratio is amazing- Roman's isn't stingy with their serving sizes, which is a refreshing change of pace compared to other overpriced Italian spots in the area. Moreover, the Pasta Rosa's creamy tomato sauce is unfailingly wonderful each time. Not to mention, the service is stellar! Each server is attentive without being overbearing, making Roman's one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. Great ambiance, service, and food. Highly recommend!

I ordered the Caesar salad and meat lasagne and both were excellent. The marinara sauce is so delicious as is the Caesar dressing. I could have eaten 10 of the garlic knot bread, buttery and perfectly chewy.I got take out. The have a take out window next to the bar. The young man that waited on me was sweet and accommodating.It was Friday night and the place was packed. They had live music that was soft and elegant. I will dine in next time.Thank you Savianos for such a lovely culinary experience!

We have been trying to eat at Olivia's for a while and every time we go they have a wait. So we came in on Father's Day around 2:00 ish so it wouldn't be so busy. Such a nice little restaurant. It's very clean and the service it's definitely the best in the area. The waiter was so attentive the food came out fast and was delicious! Large portions and great prices. Now I know why there is always a wait. We will definitely be going back! 4.5 stars if I could. Only reason it's not 5 is because the parking situation and the inside is a bit crowded but everything else is on point.

I think this place has stolen the spot in my heart for my favorite Italian restaurant. My partner & I came here to celebrate our anniversary & they did not disappoint! We ordered the pesto pizza, lasagna & chicken parm & were beyond impressed with all 3. You could definitely tell this food was made with love. Our server was also incredibly friendly & even plated our pizza slices for us. I'm a sucker for a cute aesthetic & the ivy/grape decor added a little extra flare.Oh & did I mention they were so affordable? This place is hard to beat

This is the perfect spot for any occasion! The food is phenomenal. We had great service with Ashley, she was bubbly and personable, and made the overall experience a 10 out of 10. We were celebrating our anniversary, and the whole restaurant was decorated for Christmas, which made for a very delightful, relaxing evening! We will definitely be recommending Avanti to everyone we know, as well as returning for possible special occasions in the future!

"We had such a great experience here. The service, and the food is top-notch. Thank you so much to NATE and Rome for making our experience an absolute five star. The octopus was extremely tender and had a very smoky taste. The pasta was amazing, we had the one with Wagyu, and it was simply delectable. The oysters were fresh, and had extreme flavor. You have to get the Barada salad and a tuna carpaccio it is one of the best small dishes you will have here thank you so much for an unforgettable evening. We will be back."
"This place is AHHHHMAAAZZZIINNGG! The interior is beautiful and cozy. Perfect for a date night. The workers are attentive and friendly. The first time I ordered I got spaghetti and meatballs, it was the best I've ever had including homemade. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the meatballs were delicious. My second go round I ordered chicken alfredo. Lord I wanted to lick the plate clean. And my third time I ordered pepperoni pizza. It was tasty but the pepperoni was salty. The pizza was not thick or doughy. It reminded me of a thin crust minus the crunch. Yelpers check them out! You won't be disappointed"
"My son chose Bella Italia to celebrate his birthday, and it was a great pick! He absolutely loves their baked ziti, and it did not disappoint. I tried the lobster ravioli, which was delicious and packed with flavor. My husband had the beef lasagna, but unfortunately, it wasn't his favorite.The service was excellent, with the staff being friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The interior of the restaurant is charming and cozy, making it a pleasant dining atmosphere. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality of food we received.If you're looking to support a local, family owned restaurant with tasty dishes and a welcoming vibe, Bella Italia is worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!"
"This review is long overdue. I've just been busy with patients at the end of the year. Nevertheless shout-out to Troy the bartender who guided me on my self lunch date here a couple of weekends ago. The atmosphere of this restaurant is perfect ., you came atch a game, bring a friend and catch up or just enjoy a day for self care and eat pizza and meatballs and have sangria's. YummySo as a first time dinner, Troy walked me through the menu. I wanted to try 2 different pizzas so the restaurant does offer the option to create "half and half" and I had just that. First I tried the meatballs and was recommended the sangria. When I tell you I've never had a sangria like this . I legit want a part time job here so they can pay me in Sangria's and meatballs. I had a whole pizza and decided to split it between the Honey Bastard and the NY white. (Insert chefs kiss)Also please note they have Happy hour on Mondays !! Just don't order all the meatballs and Sangria's before I get there.Ask for Troy he's awesome at recommendations!!!"
"Smells amazing in here! Excellent place to take a kid. My 4yr old got to make his own pizza. Great fresh food. Cordial service. We'll be back."
"Ever watch a movie where the character steps into a bar or restaurant to escape the bustling city and suddenly feels like they have been transported to another world?That's how we felt when I brought my family in late one evening after a long day about town. We were greeted at the door with a friendly smile by the owner, and the service was personal and efficient. The ambience is like entering a popular place in Venice or Naples, with intimate lighting, cozy furnishings and art, and a gentleman crooner performing in the corner. And yes, he was good!The food is traditional Italian fare, and excellent quality. The bread they make is warm and delicious, and its crumbs are used for the fried mozzarella. I had the seafood linguine, and it came with ample bites of large shrimp, scallops, and mussels. This would be a perfect date night, but also very accommodating for larger groups out for the evening and looking for wine and dining. This is definitely not a place you are likely to forget anytime soon. Ciao!"
"My son recommended this place. Came on a Friday e evening and it was busy. We sat down quickly though and server arrived to get our drink orders. Chicken alfredo pizza - not a pizza person but was delicious Chicken rigatoni - daughter said she enjoyed itLobster ravioli- great flavor, like I dipped the free bread in itChicken marsala- son ate it allChicken alfredo- son ate aCalamari- the best, so light"
"The jury is still out on this one. I want to love this place, but our first visit here was a mix. Most of what we had was very good, but major pitfalls in the service and some inconsistencies in the caliber of food leave me wondering...I've driven by this place about 100 times and finally decided to give it a while. From the outside the facade is pretty generic. Inside however, it's a small space but still packs a big punch with creating a nice atmosphere. There is a nice green wall with a slick neon sign right past the smallest vestibule I think I've ever seen. The bar is painted a sophisticated dark blue and there are chic gold table lamps on the table tops that add to the ambiance. Our server seemed scatterbrained and not focused. There were times we were questioning whether our food was even coming out. He forgot our drinks- 2 Cokes, and had to be asked if they were coming out. We ordered bruschetta as an appetizer. We had specifically ordered it without onions, but when it came out- it had onions, so that was an even longer wait than anticipated.I was saving room for dessert, so I went with Lobster Bisque, and my husband had the Pasta Di Mare. The Lobster Bisque was fine, but I've had better. The Pasta Fettuccine di Mare was absolutely amazing! If this place is capable of delivering such a stellar dish, I feel compelled to give them another try for other things. I had the key lime pie for dessert. It was pretty overpriced for what I got, and felt that the taste just didn't wow me in any way. I didn't like the texture of the pie itself (I detected coconut perhaps) and I really just wanted a velvety smooth Key Lime Pie. Overall, dining here had more ups than downs, but the consistency varied from dish to dish. Also the service being pretty spotty- I would hope the next visit, we get someone with their head a bit more focused on providing a more attentive posture."
"Great hospitality and the food was good quality. We like the fact that they prepare so many items table side. The owner works there, which makes a huge difference."
"Amazing food and service. They start you with free garlic and parm bread that comes with their red sauce. Wow. Good. I got the cheese tortellini with pink sauce. Added the fried chicken cutlet. Very good and quick."
"Well priced good food, amazing welcoming staff. Service was prompt and friendly. The kind of down to earth Italian atmosphere that puts you at ease."
"I'm picky when it comes to Italian food. I will say compared to what we have in Texas this is on the higher end of options but I've had better. The best dish was the mortadella pistachio pizza. Sadly, the truffle cream sauce pasta (white sauce in photo) had no salt! The flavor was just bland with that. Overall it was a good meal but not mind blowing. We were sitting by the door and the waiter opened it to let some people leave and we got blasted with cold winter air which also quickly cooled off our food, just something that should be considered when eating somewhere nicer. Dark vibes, cool lounge area."
"Delish! Such a pretty restaurant and patio area. The kids portions were huge. We weren't fans of the bolognese but it was still great. The burrata appetizer was AMAZING! And although$$$ for the poker ravioli (bc I had to try them all) I had leftovers for lunch the next day. All the raviolis were fantastic. I'm already planning my next dinner back. The service was great ."
"I cannot stress enough how amazing this place is. The ambiance was so beautiful and cozy ( i went at night ). I had the redfish and it was diviiiiineee ! Melt in your mouth good ! My server was very nice and made sure our water was full. I also had a white wine to go with it and i could've closed my eyes and been in Italy. Definitely recommend this place and i WILL be back !"
"You want old school authentic Italian food that hits the spot? This would be one of the better places to go in Arlington! It's all about the food and the family hospitality. Not some the "showy" type high priced restaurants that's meant for bougie people. It's about the food and warm great family atmosphere.That's it! Nothing super fancy! My apologies for not taking pics of the rest of my our dishes but I couldn't wait to dig in to my plate! LolOh their house marinara sauce was outstanding!"
"Decided on delivery this time, as it was a long day at work.Ordered the Large Chicken Alfredo with Black Olives and a Meatball sub. Both arrived very hot and tasty. Quick service, awesome food and delivery!I'll be ordering again soon!!"
"My girlfriend just stopped by after work and picked up a supreme pizza and it was the best pizza I've had around here! We are from keller but will definitely be back"
"I had the chance to stop by and enjoy a late lunch and what a pleasure it was to enjoy their menu once again. I normally get one of the fish dishes that has always been excellent, but today I wanted a risotto, which the chef changes as the ingredients dictate - and what a treat! Rich and Luscious!You really can't pigeonhole this restaurant, as it has a real variety, even taken care of our vegans.As always great service and a pleasant vibe in a fun part of Dallas. One of my regulars when I'm in town."
"We had a great family dinner here and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice night out in Roanoke! You will eat your weight in their amazing fresh bread and dipping oil but try and save room for the main course. We ordered three delicious appetizers for the table as well - the calamari, fries and we had them bring us four meatballs. The food was amazing with large portions at a fair price - we split a salad and an outstanding salmon special. We had some wine while others at our table enjoyed beers and cocktails - all of which were reasonably priced. I wish I could tell you about the dessert but we didn't make it that far. The service was the crown jewel though - we wanted not waited for anything. Our server was top notch and made the night! We will be coming back - great for special occasions with their Photo Booth but reasonable enough for a regular night out. Do give them a try!"
"First time coming here and man it did not disappoint the food was excellent and the serví was top notch. Had a great time with the family. Cold beer and great food what else do you need."
"The food was not great. The service was nice. Very pleasant people. I have dropped in to pick up deserts before and that made me decide to drop in for dinner. No one finished their meal. Everything tastes the exact same. The environment has the same standard "Italian" art as every hole in the wall Italian place."
"My friends and I had the best time here this past weekend. I never would have imagined this restaurant existed on Forest Lane, in an old ass strip mall, but here it lies. This place is not to be confused with the other Momos not too far down the street - they are not amicable (and for good reasons it seems).My friends and I had reservations for Friday night and were sat on the bar side of the restaurant. When we left the restaurant we saw that the other side was cozier with a fireplace. We deemed that the "date side" and the bar area the "friend side". There is also a spacious patio where you could sit and forget that you are facing a parking lot. This place is cute!The meal is obviously the most important part, and the three of us had the hardest time trying to decide what to order. One of the owners, Wende, came over and I should have known better to ask her what her favorite dishes were. She told us about all of them (and there were a lot) with great detail and passion that it threw more choices in our minds making the decision that much more difficult. We started with salads. I had the beet salad. I loved it so much I don't even remember the salads my friends had. For my entree I ordered the pappardelle bolognese. OMG! To die for. The pasta is made in house and it is obvious that it is - so fresh. The sauce and the meat were both flavorful and I was so happy I had the leftovers tonight. Yummy!The owners of this restaurant are a delightful couple, and you can tell they love what they do! The chef is really nice and gave us some insight to the recipes that had been with the restaurant for 40+ years.You know it's a good night, and a good experience, when you spend over two hours eating and chatting and not drinking anything other than tea and water.I can not recommend this place enough! They just launched a spring menu that includes about 8 new dishes that all sounded good. I think my 2023 goal should be to try every dish on the menu and just live on a treadmill to burn off all the carbs."
"To start off, this place is cash or check only but don't let that keep you from visiting. It's worth stopping somewhere to grab cash beforehand. It's also BYOB and to save a few dollars ($3/glass), bring your own wine glass if you're bringing something that's not bottled. The experience is great if your goal is to have a dinner that tastes amazing but this is not somewhere you come and have a romantic dinner for a date night. The bruschetta was a small portion and I'm not the biggest fan of balsamic but every bite was memorable. The Caesar salad and Pollo Alla Milanese entree were a good size and the dishwasher didn't have to clean much cause I licked the plates clean. My girlfriend also really enjoyed her lentil soup and gnocchi.The service was good but not very fast. Overall, I'm happy that I didn't listen to the negative reviews here on Yelp and got to experience this place."
