My husband and I ate a wonderful dinner here on New Year's Eve. Everything from the atmosphere to the friendly waitstaff really made the experience wonderful. We started our meal with some fresh bread and sparkling water. The bread was really crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and were not disappointed. The calamari was hot, crispy and flavorful.I've really been craving seafood so I ordered the Cioppino for my main entree. The shrimp were really the star of the dish. So succulent and flavorful. I really enjoyed the whole dish especially the broth and toasted bread. There was nothing left once I finished. To finish out our evening we ordered the almond pear cake to share. The cake was moist and had a strong almond flavor. The pear might be a little overshadowed by the almond flavor but I really enjoyed it and would happily order again. Thank you all for a wonderful date night to close out 2024. We will definitely return in the near future.

Southlake's best Italian treasure. From the minute you walk in until the last bite this place is incredible. I was looking for a fancy brunch spot for my lovely mother's birthday and she has always wanted to stop here. This was my second visit and i am going to make us regulars. Izzy was our server and my new best friend. He was patient and answered all our questions. He explained the carajillo so well mom and I had to try it. So I ordered my picky eater what I thought was a cheese pizza but I didn't read the full description. It looked so good I had him box that bad boy up and took that one home too. It was the QUATTRO FORMAGGIfour cheeses, roasted tomatoes, italian sausage, pine nuts. It was fabulous. I am glad I messed up my order and they whipped up a plain cheese pizza for my picky eater. Jason went for lasagna, mom tried the brunch quiche, and I had SCALOPPINE ALLA PARMIGGIANAveal scaloppini lightly breaded, tomato sauce, fettuccine creamed truffle sauce. I want to see if I could get gnocchi made with that truffle sauce it is life changing. It was huge too so I had dinner and lunch the next day. They had a card for my mom and made her favorite dessert Tiramisu. I cannot wait to go back and try something new. Everything on the menu looked so good I wish they had a sampling menu with small bites. Loved every minute of my mom's bday celebration!

We received a gift card from our daughter otherwise we tend to forget about this semi-secluded location. We decided to do brunch and we're so glad we did. They have a small brunch menu that is in addition to the lunch menu. Brunch cocktails are $5 for mimosas & $6 for Bloody Mary and Carajillo (see pic- Spanish version of an Irish Coffee"). We decided to sit in the temp controlled patio, which was great. Really cool bar area and general vibe of the whole place. They start off with serving complementary bread, olives, garlic butter, and Calabrian chili paste for your bread. Delicious! We then had the focaccia with Calabrian chilies as an appetizer. It comes out like a flatbread pizza. The bread was amazing - - thin, but soft and chewy. We shared the ORECCHIETTE ALLA CALABRESE (copied spelling from menu) and ended up taking home left overs of focaccia and the pasta. Don't hesitate to share. As a final note, they also offer in house made item for purchase (see pic). We will definitely be back and will bring friends for cocktails and tapas/bites.

We don't get out much and I've been looking forward to this pre fix V day dinner for awhile! We only had a short wait and from the moment we arrived service was excellent. I forgot to take photos of the appetizers but the burrata was really delicious.

Last night my wife and I dined at Calabrese. We had a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Israel, was extremely attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our dinner. This is the best Italian food we have had since moving to the Dallas area over two years ago. Be sure to try the foccacia bread as an appetizer. The crust was outstanding. The wait staff was amazing and we're happy to let us stay well after we had finished our dinner and dessert. My wife and I are definitely looking forward to returning some time soon.

Came here for a work dinner while we were in Dallas for a meeting. Coming into the restaurant the scooters scattered around were a cool accessory and decor. We were escorted to our own mini room just to the side of the restaurant ajoining the bar. Our servers were pleasant and attentive for our group of 8.Started off with bruschetta and calamari which were good. I had the Spinach fettuccine Alfredo which was the perfect blend of creaminess, not heavy or watery.

This place was on my list for the longest time so last weekend quest for the ultimate pasta fix led me here. Kicked things off with the calamari fritti, and boy, was I impressed! The crispy calamari paired perfectly with a sauce that took the dish to a whole new level. Next on the lineup was the raviolo salmone, and it stole the spotlight with its perfect balance of flavors. The smoked salmon filling mingled flawlessly with the rich cheese, just perfect! Now, not every dish hit the mark. The tagliolini gamberi fell a bit short, with shrimp that lacked that wow factor I were hoping for. This was quite bland. But fear not, because salvation came in the form of the divine gnocchi gratinati. Each pillowy gnocchi was bathed in a velvety sauce, topped with savory mushrooms - a true masterpiece!I paired it with red wine but next time I would love to try the bar. The place is captivating with distinctive vehicle art installation. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I would definitely visit again! p.s. what's in the bread/butter that it taste so good!! I had so many and I don't even like bread!

Fabulous food, great service.50% bottles of wine Mondays & Tuesdays Inside is loud and tables are very close together so not very intimate but if you dine on side patio (fully enclosed, heated and quiet).They care about your experience too. How often do you get a call the day after dining to find out if you were satisfied.

For years Calabrese has shown up as a potential place to visit, but until tonight had never been. Mostly because DFW-area Italian restaurants are never top of my list since rarely do they reach the bar of what I was accustomed to from my (Italian) mother. Just to be safe, I made sure to order something very different from what she had ever made: TAGLIERINI PEPATI CON GAMBERI along with the HEARTS OF PALM salad. Dinner started with bread which was not the highlight of the meal. The "focaccia like" bread was fine, but the other bread looked nothing like the (I guess) sourdough I see from other folks photos or a rustic Italian. It had a darker brown crust and was tough / chewy in a bad way. The butter was not only minimal but served in a not very functional but nice looking dish. The red (pepper pesto?) was really good and spicy but also a tiny portion. Things vastly improved after that. The salad was delicious and had nice presentation. Sizable / shareable for a side-salad. Really liked the taglierini; shrimp was sizable, plentiful and the pasta was obviously fresh and house made. The sauce could have had a bit more flavor but it was still great. Didn't try any desserts. Ambiance is nice without being "trendy" (a good thing) but I suppose the "Instagram crowd" who value vibe more than food quality could snap a photo in front of one of the (Vespa?) scooters placed at various spots.Service from Josiah was perfect.
