Apollonia's Italian Kitchen truly has it all. Beyond the incredible food and cocktails, the atmosphere is fantastic, thanks in part to their amazing live music. The performances really elevate the vibe, creating a lively yet relaxed environment that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're on a date or out with the family, it's always fun and welcoming, with a family-friendly ambiance that makes everyone feel comfortable.The traditional Carbonara, with guanciale or pancetta, is a standout dish, especially when you add one of their delicious meatballs or Italian sausage. The Mussels in white wine sauce and gnocchi are also must-tries, and their Italian wine selection pairs perfectly with any meal.Of course, the service is top-notch, with the owners ensuring everything runs smoothly and the bartenders crafting excellent cocktails. Don't miss out on their Limoncello--it's the ideal drink to complement the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere of one of my go-to spots.

We started with the Italian chopped salad. The portion was perfect to be shared with two people. For our main meal we went for the 16" prosciutto and arugula pizza. We were thinking they were short staffed, or they didn't have the pizza oven warmed up before we got there as it took a really long time for the pizza (and they weren't busy when we were there) and when it came out, it wasn't fully cooked at the center. Fortunately the flavor of the pizza was good with the combo of cheeses and what appeared to be both thin sliced and thick pieces of prosciutto. The ambiance is nice and has a traditional Italian vibe. They also have a bar to enjoy as well.

I absolutely love Apollonias! The service is immaculate. I have been coming here for 3 years Elena, Celeste, & Cole treat us like family. They great us with hugs and the service they provide is above and beyond.Chef Ruben makes sure that the plates that come out are consistently delicious. He walks around the restaurant and asks about the quality of his meals. He's consistently open to feedback and ensuring that quality meals leave his kitchen. The sausage mushrooms and delicious! Meatballs are juicy! Carbonara is mouth watering! Dirty Martini is salty and all the good things! Open faced lobster ravioli is a fan favorite!

Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic!!I can't say it enough. The service was excellent, the price is right for the large amount of serving you get. I had the meat lasagna which was probably the best I'll ever get in my life. And the lemon chello they make in house is absolutely wonderful. If you're looking for a place to eat close to Plano Tx, stop here. This is the place.

Lots of people just love Apollonia's. I however cannot find the right dish for me there. What I've eaten was mostly average.

Food on the black board always worth the price. Service always a top priority. Ask for Scott! Friday night's they have a spectacular Rat Pack singer who covers every request. Save room for dessert and order a spectacular bottle of Italian wine.

The absolutely best place. This is my second year celebrating my birthday here and it is the best. The atmosphere is so chill and the singer on Friday is amazing. The best part is Alana, if you e never had the chance to saddle up to the bar and meet her you are missing out, she is the BEST.

Scott was an amazing Server, personable, funny, and took great care of my family!! The food was excellent, my wife loved the soup of the day & my Bucatini alla Pscatora was awesome!! We will definitely eat here again when in the area.

I've been to this restaurant twice. I typically don't enjoy what passes for Italian food in most restaurants I've been to. The first time I went, I was taking a colleague who had requested Italian and the bar was very low. I had a lunch special or combo with a chicken parmigiana sandwich, and it was extraordinary. Every bite I stopped to look at my colleague with wide eyes, like can you believe this?! He maybe thought I was crazy. But I raved about it to everyone who would listen for weeks. The service and atmosphere were very warm, as well. Today I went for the second time, and got the gnocchi takeout. There was a little mix up with the ordering platform and timing, but when I showed up they rushed it out and were so kind. Like I think I'm hard to please service wise, I tend judge pretty strongly, but every interaction I have had with someone there has been very satisfying. I left happy with my experience. Until I got home and ate, and then my mind was blown This food tastes like whatever they are eating on Sopranos. It tastes like every Italian meal I ever dreamed of, before being disappointed. The flavors, the textures, the spice, the richness....I had to stop bc I would have made myself sick. I'm grateful to have discovered this gem, and will recommend whole heartedly to everyone I know. It is a true 5, home run on every level.
