50 Best Italian Restaurants in Dallas

“Impeccable service and unbelievable delicious food!“

“I found this place from TikTok and I’m so glad i came. I was in town visiting and wanted to do a nice dinner and this place met all of my expectations! Iman was my beautiful and amazing server, she was so kind and made my time here a good one as well. The food was great and the view from my table was amazing. And i loved the glass of champagne from Branden before coming to the actual restaurant. I will for sure be back when I’m in town!!“

“Restaurant week menu tastes great. Portion size is smaller than regular menu but just right for us because we don't want too much food. They offered an extra appetizer for my celebration. The cheese and olive gift is also really yummy. All in all, loved the food.“

“My partner and I came down to Dallas from OKC to celebrate our anniversary weekend. My partner has a severe gluten allergy so we always look for places that can accommodate that need. Our server, Matt, was incredible. He pointed out all the items that couldn’t be made gluten free. He answered all of our questions with confidence and clarity. We felt so comfortable with our selections. As for the food, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! It was INCREDIBLE!!! You could have fooled me that it was gluten free (I know it was because I didn’t have to take my partner to the hospital)! Not only did the give us an amazing meal, but they brought out a special, gluten free dessert to celebrate our anniversary. We also were given some gift cards as a thank you for celebrating our anniversary there. We will ABSOLUTELY be back next time when we’re in town, and I cannot recommend this place or Matt enough, whether you’re gluten intolerant or not.“

“Perfect experience from beginning to end. We felt treated like family the entire time and the food was amazing! Tempting to eat too much but be sure to save room for their speciality dessert also!“

“Always terrific! One of my favorite Dallas restaurants.“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere! The salmon with risotto was perfectly prepared and server Martin was friendly, professional and patient. Will certainly return!“

“This place exceeded expectations on every level. Atmosphere was cozy for date night dinner before my wife and I went to see Nate Bargatze. The Food at all ends were alive with flavor kicking. The service was attentive and caring, just excellent. We started with The spinach artichoke dip. amazing, the chips (I believe their famous Italian nacho chips and homemade Garlic bread slices came together like a flavor family. My wife ordered the Primavera with chicken and the cream Parmesan sauce. out worldly, amazing. I would eat that sauce on everything. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Penne. A wonderful fusion of Sharp sundried tomatoes, sauteed Garlic cloves sauce and chicken. the spice was excellent as well, not overpowering like the star of the show, but rather a supporting actor that let you know they were there. The portions were very generous. don't expect to finish your entire dish, we went hungry and left with 1/3 of each of our entrees. I would recommend this place to anyone in Dallas, or going to Dallas..I would even recommend to the owners to venture down to Houston, as we could use this in our city. You would be missing out if you didn't come through this place at least once.“

“What an awesome bro night we had. I hadn't seen my old college roommate in quite some time, and we love food. So naturally, we sought out the best restaurant in Dallas.

Started with warm olives and the chef's choice salumi. It was a fantastic start. Then we ordered the Duck Agnolotti, which was the dish of the night. We ended with the aromatic autumnal dessert, the quince tart with pink peppercorn ice cream. Truly a pastry chefs kiss.

We had all of our dishes paired with wine, brought and introduced by Jennifer, the owner, who was a true delight.

An amazing night, you know it's a great one when you look up and 2 hours fly by.“

“the vibe inside is really homey. the price point is great. I was able to comfortably order a few things to try. I also think the portions were good. the duck ragu was very good. I enjoyed that plate very much. the sauce pairs with the duck very well. it's fork licking good. the carbonara I didn't care for, I didn't finish it. it didn't taste quite balanced. also my pasta was under cooked. I checked to see if maybe I was given buccatini on accident but no, it was just underdone spaghetti. overall, I'll try it again. my experience I think was good for a first visit“

“I have eaten the recipes at AG Texican for years! Abel comes from a family who owned other amazing restaurants in Dallas in the past. He carries on their tradition with his amazing recipes and an atmosphere that feels like home every time you come in! Abel may be considered “fried Jesus” to some but he is the guy who carries on the tradition of the first and best TexMex I’ve ever eaten! I HIGHLY recommend AG Texican!“

“Great service and food. We don’t live near it but want to go back anytime we’re in Dallas. We will also recommend it to our family and friends“

“Amazing how some restaurants have such small menus but this defines the idea that they don't NEED to offer quantity, simply fantastic, DEFINITELY on the loud side but rad atmosphere and it was out of mind virtually from the jump, fantastic time in every way, SHALL MOST CERTAINLY RETURN...great memories❤️“

“This has been the most amazing place to eat Italian food that I’ve had in Dallas. I would absolutely recommend to make a reservation ahead of time for it is always so packed in there. Great food and amazing customer service. They were very delightful.“

“St. Rocco's is our new favorite. Dinner was amazing and Rigo was the absolute best! He deserves a raise!“

“We come to Dallas multiple times a year to visit family and attend to business but had not yet tried Barsotti’s. After being recommend to us off the Michelin guide, we decided to try it. Wow, just wow we were all blown away! If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. Everything from start to finish was absolutely devine. The portions are really large so we ended up over ordering for the table but it was worth it to try everything. My personal favorite was the Sunday gravy but my husband couldn’t stop talking about the arugula salad. We already can’t wait to come back around Christmas!“

“Authentic, whole ingredients and top-notch Neapolitan cooking techniques that will make your Italian-loving heart swoon. We love everything about eating here including pizza dough that was blistered/crunchy on the edges while delicately soft on the inside and topped with high quality toppings. The pizza alone will give us cravings to return often! The pesto and prosciutto were the best quality!“

“Love my seafood pasta from here“

“Love the food- delicious authentic Italian!“

“We love this location! Great service every time. Delicious food & amazing cocktails. We bring the kiddos too and they are so good and understanding with them“

“Piada’s will never let you down. The staff however, this one particular young caucasian lady acted as if requesting the toppings I wanted on my wrap was a problem. And let’s not discuss when it was time to add the Alfredo sauce to my pasta, I had to tell her add some more. She acted as if she didn’t want to serve us and she didn’t want to be at work. Piadas do better. Teach your staff customers service, before you lose business.“

“The food... EXCELLENCE!!!🍴🍷🍴“

“You are the pizza I've been looking for! That perfect crust, that flavorful sauce, that just the right amount of everything! THANK YOU!!“

“We enjoyed our ‘end of week’ Sunday meal @ 5 p.m. by starting off with Carpaccio and delicious hot bread, then for our main courses, Silk Hankerchiefs, and Fettuccine Carne e Funghi with brandy cream sauce. No room for dessert… lovely service by an even lovelier server from Hidalgo! Creamed corn with Calabrian peppers (side dish)…don’t skip this side dish… ❤️“

“I love coming to Nonna | Tabu—it hits that sweet spot between fancy and comfy. The moment you step in, the brick walls, warm lighting, and wood-oven give it a cozy but special feel. The staff always seem to care, and there’s something satisfying about knowing the dishes are seasonal and thoughtfully made. Add in live jazz and cocktails at Tabu, and it feels like a place to slow down and enjoy the night—not just eat.“

“Cremona Bistro, hit it out of the park on our company holiday lunch! Silvia Rosewood Hotel Group thanks You & the Team!“

“Food was amazing!! Definitely takes me back to Italy. Wish I lived closer!!“

“Here in town for the HOSA INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, my students and I fell in love with this place. Their mock cocktails are nice!“

“Roma's is my absolute favorite pizza place. I've ordered religiously for about 8 months now, I think. My favorite is the Margherita, but I love the plain cheese or pepperoni. I am NEVER disappointed. It arrives hot and fresh with beautiful presentation. Very tasty 😋 Their prices are budget friendly too.“

“Staff was friendly from the moment we entered, ambiance was cozy and elegant, and food and drinks were perfect. At the end of the night, Lynae stopped by to say hi and was just the sweetest. My partner and I will definitely be back!“

“Went to Abruzzo’s with my family and everyone was pleased. The kids liked the tortellini alfredo and the spinach artichoke dip. The lasagna trio was great and the meatball sub hit the spot (it also held up when reheated as leftovers). They were out of lobster ravioli but I look forward to trying it next time!“

“Great, friendly restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. Although not on the menu, make sure to ask for the WEDGE SALAD!! (It’s usually on the specials menu, and it is outstanding!)“

“Had a great time! Food was delicious and the staff was excellent! I recommend their grilled chicken dish, it’s amazing! Great atmosphere as well. Cozy and classy!“

“fresh food and tasty! good atmosphere“

“I bought a delicious spinach and feta ravioli with tomato cream sauce. Best fresh pasta in Dallas!“

“So we happen to notice this place across the street from my buddies apartment. Today we stopped in and order a little bit of everything. The creamy chicken soup was delicious, pasta was simple but also delicious. We ended with the crab cakes and I was so stuffed I only had 2 bites but it was worth it. Stacy was our server and she did a great job from recommendations to attentiveness. I think we just found a new go to by the house. $56 dollar for 2 grown men is a bargain for what we got. Thank you“

“Good pizza. Good cookies. Good rolls. Best lasagna I have ever bought at any place. Highly recommend.“

“Soooo much delicious food at a great price!!!“

“Food was amazing! drinks were amazing! Several vegetarian options, may make vegetarians have the hard, but good feeling of having so many choices.
They didn’t have the rosé we requested, but the alternative was still very good! My bar for wine is anything above yellowtail, barefoot, or apothic so I was very easy to pleas. Highly recommend this place!“

“Overall good place to go out and eat:) 10/10“

“Pasta was cooked Al dente and tilapia was moist inside and crispy outside. Shrimp were a little bit over cooked to my taste. Salad was fresh and the house salad is my favorite. I recommend it.“

“They customer service is great, the food is awesome, the place is very clean. Nice setting for date night. Mrs. Cassandra was great & her drinks from the bar man say just get there. I love the news I heard about the owner. They been there 42 years & counting.“

“This place has great pizza and great service Very attentive to the customer“

“Our experience was great. Very friendly staff, large portions of food and food was great.“

“Felt like our server was ducking us. It didn't seem super packed but maybe she had a lot of tables. But she didn't come around often and kept pushing us to use the little tablet to look and order things. Which I guess makes sense if that's less of an order she has to take then that makes it easier for them.“

“It’s a friendly atmosphere with great food.“

“We love Zio Cecio! We have gone here for all 5 of our anniversary dinners, and we will continue that tradition forever. Such a wonderful place! The food and atmosphere are incredible, and the owner, Francesco, is such a sweet man. Could not recommend this place enough!!“

“Such great food and service! The menu is unique. I love the fig bruschetta & the fig and Gorgonzola pizza .“
