Da Vinci Ristorante Italiano

Cafe Italia

★★★★☆ 4.2 (265) • $$

"Excellent service with a definite Texas accented server. And we have concluded they need to bottle that garlic lemon butter sauce!!! The Chicken Francese Lunch Special was over the top- chicken was lightly breaded and not over cooked. The fried calamari appetizer was tender although sadly our first choice of fried ravioli was not available. Ambiance was cafe style not a traditional Italian restaurant old world design which certainly complimented our price tag because we weren't paying for a venue just great food for a reasonable price."

Island Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (228) • $$

"I currently live in Austin, but anytime I come to the beach I make a stop at Island Italian. The atmosphere and the food are 10/10. They often have local live music which adds even more to the experience. My personal favorites are the Italian salad with their in house made dressing (highly recommend grabbing some to go) , the pizza rolls, and a cannoli martini. The staff are so warm and friendly. I can't recommend this place enough."

Il Forno a Legna

★★★★☆ 4 (190) • $$

"Italian food is universally loved, but unfortunately that has allowed too many purveyors of mediocre pasta and pizza to lower the bar for what gets to pass as Italian. When I find a place that reminds me why I like certain dishes, I feel the need to share; I was immediately smitten by what is happening at Il Forno. We ordered a pizza with shrimp and peppers as a starter for the table to share and it was the kind of pie that I rarely find. There was a debate about the marinara sauce (yes, my friends are also foodies). Was the slight sweetness caused by the peppers or is their basic sauce just less acidic than what most chefs use? That will be a topic for next time as we all loved it... There was even more chatter about the crust - not soggy, not burned, but perfectly cooked. It looked beautiful and tasted like a slice of heaven. For the main course, I ordered Capellini Positano, which has crab, olives, and mozzarella. The server asked if I would like to add another protein, which had not occurred to me, but why not, so I requested shrimp. The portion was big enough for two, but since I was visiting and there was no fridge in my hotel room, I ate it all (great food should never be wasted). We ordered a few desserts to share that included Tiramisu, Night of the Chocolate, and Pistachio Gelato. Even though tiramisu was my favorite (as it usually is), I ate quite a bit of the others as well. I'm happy to see that Il Forno is serving what great Italian food should be and I can't wait for my next visit."

Mesquite St Pizza & Pasta Co

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (255) • $$

"Great place for pizza and drinks within walking distance of our hotel. My wife and I shared a wild concoction, a big red margarita, a margarita with a bottle of big red turned upside down in it. Sounded wierd to both of us but after the first sip we were hooked. We shared a giant 4 meatball appetizer which was very good. I did all I could to devour half of a joe's meat lover pizza, we ate all the meat off of the remainder of the pie slices. They're decorated up for halloween, this place made us feel like regulars. Nice people and great food and tasty wierd drinks. I had to buy one of their t shirts with legalize marinara across the front. We'll be back."

Bellino Ristorante Italiano and Bottega

★★★★☆ 3.7 (153) • $$

"After a year away we were back in town and had to make reservation! Upon arriving we were met by Nikki, our star host and waitperson from our last visit. Despite a full house and waiting tables she never showed the stress that exists at such a busy time. She was at our table when we needed her, advising about the menu changes, and even having time to update us on her culinary school classes. "Ask and ye shall receive", is the motto at Bellino's. . My linguini pescatore was perfect with the linguine al dente! My wife asked for and the chef prepared a pasta dish with garlic and pepper. Since our last visit they have opened Mamma Lina next door. Because of a large party the night we went we were unable to be seated over there; however, you can chose from either the traditional or the Italian Comfort food on the Mama Lina menus. We ordered the Arancinette as an appetizer and our son ordered the Pollo al Gorgonzola from the Mama Lina menu. Spectacular flavors and perfectly prepared. It was a tossup as to our favor dessert. The chocolate mousse was amazing light and airy and the tiramisu remains to have a balance of flavors. And of course Nikki surprised us with an Expresso Martini (see my prior review of 7/5/23). I loved the new twist replacing the traditional vodka with bourbon! Francesco, great job keeping us impressed with the food, the service, and the overall ambiance of Bellino's ."

Rigatoni's Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (114) • $$

"Last week my wife and I got to experience something really special. We went to a place called Rigatoni's Italian Restaurant. The food was delicious. The prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was cozy. The staff was so kind and friendly. The owner, Nora, was so very accommodating (even giving us an old bar sign that she wasn't using anymore at no charge). The icing on the cake though was the performance by Hector Gutierrez Sr. He knew so many cool crooner songs, even Nat King Cole's Nature Boy! That's a rare one. He also had some cool country and pop arrangements. I got a bunch of pictures (including the entire menu with prices) and a good video of one of the songs Hector did. Sorry if I messed it up with my singing. I was trying to be quiet but I couldn't help myself. I was just so into it. I can't believe this place has been on Leopard Street for 24 years and I'm just now learning about it! I highly recommend going on a Friday or Saturday, between 6pm-8pm so you can catch Hector's performance. Performance link: https://youtu.be/TFUCsXYwNqw?si=qAinAp8LmiFgFjcD"

Ali's Pizzaria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (79)

"I saw an ad a few weeks ago for this place so I saved it and finally decided to stop by for lunch. They have a few specials which I happened to choose from. I got the #1 which includes 2 very Large slices of pizza and a drink for a good price. I'll be honest I could have probably shared just one of these lunch specials. The slices were huge but they were indeed delicious. I love the thin crispy crust. The place is very welcoming and the staff were great. I most definitely will be returning to try something new on the menu."

Marco & Co Catering

★★★★☆ 3.8 (39)

"Nice unassuming Italian restaurant in Corpus Christi. Marco's does not look like much from the street, but dont miss out. If not for a friend of mine I would have not noticed this place. Macros is serving up made to order pasta, salads, soups, desserts and other Italian fare and it is GOOD. I recommend to pasta bar. You can choose from up to 12 items for your made to order pasta dish. The soups are delicious as well. The staff was friendly and helpful on explaining the menu orders. The atmosphere is nice as well. Definitely not what I expected from the outside but a very nice interior. Certainly a hidden jewel along staples road near downtown Corpus. Marco and catering is going thing right!"

La Roca

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (26) • $$

"After pretty much eating Mexican food every meal while traveling in Laredo, my associates and I were looking for a change and wanted some seafood. Welp, thanks to yelpers out there we stumbled on this place.This place is decent. The menu is a little eclectic... Mexican, Italian, American? So i get a little weary when there are too many selections on the menu. So since our group was going for seafood, that's what most of us had and the food was just ok. Not bad, not spectacular, and not too memorable, but just ok. The ceviche didn't have enough acid in it. It was made from fake crab and frozen shrimp. After i mixed some hot sauce and squeezed half a lime into it... it tasted better. The tostada ceviche was also very dry and needed the lime and hot sauce as well. We are pretty close to Mexico and we were hoping for some authentic Mexican-style ceviche and were sorely disappointed :( Hopefully it was just because we were there on an off night?Someone had the mahi and they liked it, along with the teriyaki chicken. I also had the coconut shrimp appetizer which was good, but also seemed like it was defrosted . The drink specials are pretty good. All in all decent. But not amazing... sorry"

Que Pizza Ricco

★★★★☆ 4 (11)

"I wish I was able to give this place 5 stars. I came in from out of town for work, for some reason I'm always craving pizza while away from home. Found this place and got the personal deep dish (4 slices). The pizza was full with toppings, first bite was great. By the time I got to the second slice, the flavors were just not there anymore. It became boring and I forced the second slice down, leaving the other two. That is the only issue I found with the deep dish, I'm sure other pizzas on the menu are great but I won't get the deep dish again."
