The Best Italian in Arlington

Dante’s Italian Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41)

"The customer service was excellent. The way they packed the to go order was really nice and kept warm but.. The food was a complete let down. The sauce was watery and no flavor. The chicken was the frozen chicken fajita strips and the broccoli wasn't cooked all the way. I was so bummed with this being a new place in Euless I really had hopes it would be good. It tasted like a frozen dinner. We may try the pizza but I think we are good on this one."

Ny Pizza & Pasta

★★★☆☆ 3 (124) • $

"I love this place! Delicious pasta, pizza and friendly service. Stumbled upon it one day and have been going back weekly ever since. My favourite is anything with their homemade vodka sauce, the pizza or the tortellini and the tiramisu is excellent too!"

Knife Italian Steak

★★★★☆ 3.9 (116) • $$$

"This is my second time at Knife Italian. About a year ago my experience didn't meet my expectations... but this year they far exceeded it. Our server Crystal was absolutely amazing! She was real and kind, and made great recommendations. Checked on us enough that we never wanted for anything, but not so much that we felt interrupted or rushed. Other servers helped bus the table and kept our waters full at all times. As you can see, the food was amazing! The steak and deserts were my favorite, lobster ravioli, focaccia, then pizza. The drinks are in a category of their own. They really pride themselves on the Italian tradition of complex aperitifs. The decor is a little 'island-y.' When it gets dark outside, the restaurant gets pretty dark. The valet is complimentary when you dine at the restaurant, and the valets were very on top of it! We had a great time! I am so glad we went back!"

Cafe Italia

★★★★★ 4.7 • $$

"So good! Service was amazing, nick very attentive. We were there for a birthdays dinner with a large group. Large menu with various dishes. It was very delicious and would recommend. BYOB!!!!!At the end, Nick did a magic show for about 10 minutes and we were so shocked and awe because of the many tricks he did haha. Highly recommend WHAT WE ORDERED:- stuffed mushrooms -escargot -bruschetta -chicken piccata -lobster ravioli Majority of the people that got the escargot including me was not super impressed. Everything else was amazing! How could I forget the BYOB part!! Great place"

Bellisimo: Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (68)

"We rotate various restaurants for our weekly family dinner of 10 to 13 people. This week was at Bellissimo and it corresponded with my daughter's birthday. We were seated quickly and service was prompt and great. We always love the menu. Everybody got something different and we're all pleased. We also like it because it is BYOB!"

Urban Crust

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"Went two days in a row because of how much my kids loved the pizza here. It's thin and the toppings are quality. The pepperoni they use is so good. We've gotten it with regular mozzarella and their buffalo mozzarella. The only complaint for not a 5 stars is that the second time, the crust was a little burnt. Calamari was good and they give you a generous amount for price. Would love to come back to try some pastas."

Italy Express

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"Neat little restaurant serving homemade Italian dishes. My wife had the chicken Parmesan and I had the chicken marsala. The chicken was fresh and delicious. Very nice sized portions served with pasta and salad. The garlic bread was warm and melted in my mouth! The owners were friendly and service was great! We will be back!"

Piola Italian Restaurant & Garden

★★★★☆ 3.5 (186) • $$$

"Beautiful and cozy local gem. Unique menu and very attentive staff. Feels like a special occasion each time we go. Happy with most of our choices. We all left satisfied and smiling. Say yes to the halibut, caprese salad, martini, ravioli, goat cheese app, and desserts!"

Dolce Riviera

★★★★☆ 3.5 (490) • $$$

"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 !"

Mio Nonno Trattoria

★★★★☆ 4 (361) • $$

"Their Short Rib Pappardelle is one of the best pastas I've had in a VERY long time. I would come back just to have this again. We ordered calamari, pastas, and a half chicken as our appetizer + mains and everything came out delicious. Service was quick and the restaurant had a very chic vibe. Definitely make reservations on the weekends as it filled up pretty quickly once we got there around 6pm on a Saturday. They had a separate specials menu that included some very interesting dessert pizzas, so we got the fig and brie one! We loved our experience and will keep this restaurant in our pocket for the next time we're in the area."

Palio's Pizza Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (236) • $$

"Nice clean friendly Italian restaurant in a strip mall. Quick and easy counter ordering and they bring your food.The Arrabiata pasta was delicious!! Spicy cream sauce with sausage, chicken mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes, comes with light crispy cheesy bread.El Diablo pizza was delicious, we thought it would taste extra spicy it didn't but we just added extra peppers . The Molly pizza was very flavorful and I love that they put it on virgin olive oil and not Alfredo sauce. which is my preference. We found a great pizza spot to add to our list in Mansfield"

"The food was excellent and authentic. I frequent the location several times in the last 2 weeks and each experience was great"

Aviano's

★★★★☆ 3.7 (16) • $$

"Really good house salad, the dressing is awesome! And it's super cheap!I husband likes the lasagna. If you get any toppings on a single slice they just add the topping to a slice of cheese pizza. Not good!"

"What an awesome place, price and people. Awesome value!We live nearby but normally go to shops legacy. This place is great!"

Sfuzzi

★★★★☆ 3.8 (118) • $$

"Came out on a Friday for a cute girls night to celebrate a dear friends birthday. I'll definitely be back & might just be my lil spot whenever I'm out in Dallas. We did arrive after 11pm (11:15) and the kitchen only serves pizzas . Food--Hot honey pizza: 7/10, it was good & I've had better. It got cold quickly though. Sausage Rustica: 8/10, definitely prefer it over the hot honey! Service: 7/10, kind of disappeared for too long at times. Ambiance: 12/10!!!! The DJ was AMAZING! Great great tunes from the moment we walked in. He never missed! From r&b, to pop, to house music, to Afrobeats, to hip hop! He did his BIG ONE! Drinks--Kiss from a rose: 8/10, very very yummy and the strawberry candied syrup was the perfect touch. Vespa: 8/10, came in a super cute cup, fruity & refreshing. IG: @eatgoodtxTikTok: @abidaremii"

Campisi's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (619) • $$

"Stick to the pizza... pasta/ravioli came out undercooked w odd tasting fillings (meat and cheeese) along w tasteless marinara sauce. Not too mention it came out barely warm.....eggplant parm so tough it was barely edible. Lasagna was Ho Hum.... Still an interesting different kind of place to go to...don't think there is a darker restaurant in Dallas.... Service is good..."

"We were headed to ft worth to a pricey Italian restaurant....I mentioned to my husband how about try local. We ended up here with no regrets. Service friendly, attentive, food steaming hot, and beer and wine (had my fav Pinot noir). I tried very hard not to eat the fresh baked bread but I couldn't resist!!! Def recommend this awesome family run restaurant. Ordering pizza to dine at home next time! By the way catch the steam coming off my plate!!"

Lucia

★★★★☆ 4.2 (592) • $$$

"Many years ago, my mother-in-law made reservations for Lucia. We were trying to get there during a tornado warning and ended up driving back for our safety. I cannot remember how long ago it was, 6 or 7 years ago, but we have talked about eventually eating here so many times that I finally got the coveted reservation 30 days out and we went last Thursday. The restaurant is beautiful inside and not too loud. My mother-in-law and I both got a glass of rose cava brut that was very nice.We learned from our server that we should order family style. My father-in-law was set on the wagyu bavette for an entree. For appetizers we ordered the beet and apple salad, the wagyu beef tongue (my choice), and sourdough bread with cultured butter. The wagyu tongue melted in my mouth! For pastas we got the ravioli grano arso ("burnt grains" with seeds, nuts, and chiles - this was fantastic. We also had rigatoni with wagyu short rib and mushrooms that also was amazing. For entrees we got the wagyu bavette and the olive oil poached snapper. For dessert we got two orders of the bomboloni which came with banana ice cream. Everything was delicious. It turns out the owner is from the same town as Eric R.'s cousin, so she was delighted to learn that when visiting our table. I hope i can get back here again without a multi-year hiatus!"

"This place was wonderful. Casual. Great & quick service. Very welcoming. Food is delicious! They also offer a gluten free menu!We started with prosciutto & rosemary bread and the cheese bread. (yum!) Ordered the pizza flight. The kids had butter pasta! It was all delicious!! We will be back!!"

Joe's Italian Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (195) • $$

"I really wanted to love this place! Casual Italian restaurants are some of my favorite haunts. The food is mediocre. The place truly needs a good scrubbing. The service was a 'no" Clearly one of the servers is very familiar with the owner and shouted questions to him through the restaurant. It was almost comical but more disturbing than anything. Seems like they have their regulars so maybe I was there on an off night?"

Mo & Hari's Italian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (88) • $$

"Updating my review and adding a star. This restaurant is extremely consistent and the food is lovely. Great servers, always super friendly. The amazing server Dusty I mentioned in my first review- is now the general manager. Really love the atmosphere. I still can't believe this place is in Midlothian. I would drive an hour for this food. Original review:It's been a while since we've been here, and honestly- I'm so sad we waited so long to come back. Our waiter Dusty was extremely friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu. We came in to try out their happy hour drink specials, but both the food and drinks were great. I had the appetizer sampler with a giant crab cake and 4 large shrimp. Hubby got the Mac, Asparagus, and Creamy Tomato Soup (which may just be the best I've ever tasted). The Margaritas were good- but the German chocolate cake shot I polished off after dinner was amazing! It truly tasted like the classic dessert. So Delish. We will be frequenting this gem more often for sure."

Gallo Nero Italian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (346) • $$

"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.

Roma's Italian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.7 (67)

"Absolutely phenomenal!!! I didn't have not 1 complaint! The service was amazing and the food was delicious. I've passed by this place so many times when I lived in Desoto but I chose it this time on a whim & baby am I glad I did. All the items I chose were pleasing to my palate. It was made with time & care instead of slopped together. The area is a great size and has alot of personality. I'll definitely be back."

400 Gradi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (291) • $$

"Lovely Italian restaurant in downtown Dallas perfect for a date night given the overall ambiance!My fiance and I had a reservation on a Saturday evening and we were seated pretty much immediately once we arrived. Service was great throughout our meal and everything came out in a decently quick manner.We started with the polpette al sugo (meatballs) which came with house-made bread, and both the meatballs and bread were excellent. Then for main entrees, the two of us shared the tagliatelle alla bolognese and vesuvio pizza, both of which were delicious. In particular, we really loved the combination of flavors on the vesuvio pizza which comes with salami, bacon, caramelized onion, and spiced honey -- the perfect blend of sweet, savory, spicy, and umami!"

North Italia

★★★★☆ 4.1 (558) • $$

"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."

Campisi's Restaurant - Coit & Campbell

★★★☆☆ 3 (147) • $$

"It had been over 5 years since the last time we tried Campisi's pizza, and this was the first time we tried this location. We ordered the pepperoni and Italian sausage and added ricotta cheese. No flavor whatsoever. We had it to go so when we got home we tried to save it by adding basil and some tomatoes. Very unhappy with the quality."

Mo and Hari's Neighborhood Bistro

Mamma Mia Italian Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (167) • $$

"I was craving Fettuccine Alfredo after a long day in the office. I called to place a pickup order and was greeted with pleasant service. It was quick and easy. The pasta was delicious. It also came 2 bread rolls and a house salad. It was very cream, and the chicken was full of flavor. Also it turns out they are a byob, so if you plan on eating in, don't forget to bring a bottle of your preferred alcoholic beverage."

Paisano's Italian Cafe

"I came here with a girlfriend of mine after getting our nails done for dinner. we were pleasantly surprised to find that they had not only pizza but delicious pasta dishes to choose from and wine! The service was impeccable, server was extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant is very laid-back and makes you feel like you're in a quaint neighborhood Italian spot. I could easily see coming here for date night also! Nothing too fancy but definitely worth the visit! My husband and I will be going next!"

Palato Italian Kitchen and Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.8 (13)

"My sisters and I had a great experience at Palato. Parking was a little difficult with the opening of kaleidoscope park, unless you want to pay $10 to valet. Servers and workers were very friendly and attentive. Actually they were the least uptight employees for a fine dining restaurant, so it made dinner relaxing and enjoyable. Food was also excellent. The menu is still very limited as the grand opening is not till November 1st. The salumi platter had these fried gnocchi that was the absolute best! Next time, I am going to ask for a basket of them. The platter could probably use some extra garnish to make it better. We also had the Caesar salad. It could have used a bit more dressing but we still enjoyed it. The burrata was deliciously served with some buttery sourdough bread. They had 4 great options for pizza. We settled on the Macellaio, which is sort of like a meat lovers pizza. All the meat toppings were great. We loved the consistency of the dough and crust. The food runner gave us a fun fact that the pizza is cooked in 30 seconds because of how hot the pizza stove is. Told you the workers are friendly. For the main course we had the wagyu beef shank with a side of romanesco. The beef shank was perfectly braised. I enjoyed all the pine nuts they topped it off with. It was our first time having romanesco. It's a breed between broccoli and cauliflower. We throughly enjoyed how it was served with capers, pine nuts and raisins. Lastly, we had the raspberry and pistachios tart. Sadly we didn't enjoy our dessert as much. It was too dense and difficult to eat because the outer crust was hard to break through. The manager also took the time to check on us and even asked about us and told a little about himself. So we had overall great experience and excited to come back when they have a full menu."
