50 Best Italian Restaurants in Fort Worth

“Three of us friends arrived at the restaurant and sat on the patio due to the fact that it was a lovely evening. The wait staff came out and brought us our food and I believe at one point the manager also came out and greeted us. We had some very typical dishes, spaghetti, garlic bread, and my friend had another Italian dish. One friend had wine and two of us had a mixed drink. Our bill came out and it was quite expensive. So we talked about how we did not feel like the price matched the quality or the taste of the food/drinks. I do hope that this local restaurant will make it. I do love supporting a local restaurants. But I was not wowed by the quality or the taste of our Italian food. I hope somebody else has a better experience otherwise. The wait staff was lovely. The environment was lovely and the effort is beautiful.“

“Small restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating; 5 tables inside. The food was outstanding. The service was incredible and I loved being able to peek into the kitchen through the window to see your food being made right in front of you. I ordered Tricolore and it was penne pasta with spinach and tomatoes with a white sauce. It was good, but not 10/10. My husband ordered Gambrini (I might be spelling it wrong) and it was out of this world. The focaccia and the balsamic vinaigrette were also amazing, We will absolutely be back!

Vegetarian options: There were plenty of vegetarian options. I'm not vegetarian but I don't eat a lot of meat. I chose a vegetarian plate (Tricolore) and was happy with it. My husband ordered a shrimp dish (Gambrini) and I didn't try the shrimp, but the pasta was out of this world on his plate.“

“Blown away by Emilias! My husband and I sat outside on the patio and it was beautiful and perfect. The service was 10/10 and food was something like I had never had before. The manager came by at the end of the meal and left a lasting impression on us. We can’t wait to go back soon 🩷“

“First off I love so far everything I’ve ate, I’m a sucker for the avocado wrap tho, I’m disabled and I can’t go inside, so I call in my order from the car, and let me tell you, chef Tiffany treats me so special, actually they all do, but I’m so satisfied with the service and wanted to share this experience with everyone!! Piada rocks ““

“From the wonderful service to delicious food, everything was just excellent for dinner! Would definitely recommend and will be going back.“

“We were really hoping this would be great as it is relatively close to us. We thought it was decent and that’s about it. Very friendly staff and clean dining room for sure. Average to good pizza. Wings were big and meaty, Buffalo sauce was rather plain.“

“Food was amazing! Huge portions and great service! Will definitely be back!“

“I visited Vida Café yesterday with my friend to celebrate both of our birthdays. The owner was super sweet and took very good care of us! The food was so tasty! The gluten-free bread, minestrone, omelette with yummy veggies, and affogato were all delightful! I plan on coming back as soon as I can. Thank you, Vida Café!“

“The food is sooooo good. Also excellent service.“

“Great food & friendly service. ☺️“

“Ohh my YUM! We’re from Missouri & came down for the Cotton Bowl (MIZ-ZOU!!!!) and happened to drive by this place. We had garlic cheese bread, spaghetti, pizza, and spaghetti with meatballs. Let me just say, if this place would freeze and ship us food, we would absolutely order it! Do yourself (and your belly) a FULL favor & stop in! Tell Adam we said hi & are already planning our next trip to Texas & making sure Joe’s Pizza & Pasta is our first stop!!!“

“Just picked up a late lunch to go from NY JOE’S and so glad we did! It couldn’t have been better! Lasagna and grilled chicken Alfredo and absolutely perfect! My compliments to the chef and the staff! Excellent Excellent Excellent“

“We visited Cafe Bella for our Anniversary and it was wonderful! Its hidden away in an area close to TCU campus. The atmosphere was cozy and we felt as if we were in a five star dining establishment, but the prices are reasonable. They do not serve alcohol but you can bring your own wine. The bread that was served before our meal was so hot and perfect. The Lobster Ravioli melts in your mouth and makes your taste buds sing! we will definitely be back!“

“Seriously one of the best experiences my husband and I have had at an italian restaurant in ftw. First off they have a lovely patio area with outside heaters when cool out, the service was OUTSTANDING and our server Jason went above and beyond for our entire dinner! The food was absolutely delicious especially the agnolotti with butternut squash! Hubby was super satisfied and happy with the tagitelle bolognese dish, and our crostini appetizer was to die for! Our server really made the meal that much better and I highly recommend you request Jason as you will not be disappointed. It was our first time here and definitely will not be our last. We can't wait to go back now!!!“

“Great food for the whole family!“

“Our daughters recommended we celebrate our anniversary here. We had an amazing experience! Everything was superb. The entire staff was very friendly. Our waiter Caleb went above and beyond! The manager Cathryn, chefs Landon and Frankie made sure they added a special touch to our anniversary dinner. The food is bursting with flavor. The appetizers are so delicious I couldn't stop craving more. The Tiramsu was a perfect bow to a wonderful presentation. We will be returning soon to try the Charcuterie Board. Note: I usually don't crave Italian food. The prices are very reasonable.“

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at Olive Garden! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was truly exceptional. My daughter has a gluten allergy, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure her meal was safe and enjoyable. They were so attentive and knowledgeable—it really gave us peace of mind.

It was also my daughter’s birthday, and they made her feel so special. Our waitress, Regan M., was wonderful—kind, professional, and so thoughtful throughout our meal. The manager, Kerry Bowden, even took the time to personally check with the kitchen and make sure everything was handled correctly. You could really see how the whole team worked together to make it a great experience.

We highly recommend this Olive Garden location and will definitely be back!“

“The food is good. The steak in my meal lacked flavor, but the rest was really good. Our server was friendly and attentive. One thing I love about OG is that they take food allergies seriously. It's very important, and the manager comes to the table and ensures that the allergy is understood and takes extra measures to ensure safety.“

“Truckers Pay Attention: If making a delivery to Lockheed Martin, and U have have, come check this place out!! Food is delicious and its about 2-3 minutes walk from big truck park area just across the street, I’ve been getting my lunch here, when I’m in the area, and I gotta tell U: FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY MOST DEFINITELY DELICIOUS!!This place is a hidden treasure!! Highly recommend!!“

“I visit Joe's atleast once a month since it's close to work and convconvenient. I always get a chicken Cesar salad or a slice of pepperoni pizza.

The service is always quick and the staff is nice. Everyone greets you when you approach the counter.

The atoatoatmosphere is very laid back and comforting. It reminds me of visiting grandma, warm and welcoming.“

“Worst restaurant experience I’ve Ever Ever had in my almost 45 years of life. Worst and most unprofessional staff you will ever come across in Saginaw I promise. I give this place 6-8mths tops before the doors closed based on the unkept signs and building facility. Do Not Do Not waste your time or money here….Rude Rude Rude People no one who works there seems happy and it shows so here we go.. Read Below Entirely for the truth bout this place. So I came in with high hopes for this restaurant and when I first arrived it seemed like your typical whole in a wall restaurant which I love. As we walked in the staff barely greeted us like we were disturbing their evening. The waitress brought us to the table but was very cold instead of warm and welcoming like you expect from an Italian family type restaurant. Of course you gotta get a salad so I did but I asked for croutons and 20 min later I had to go to the kitchen myself and get them. Then our food comes out I got the saltiest not just lasagna but the salty saltiest food I’ve ever had in my life. I couldn’t even eat it and I was starving but the major fumble was then I had to ask for bread that’s supposed to come with the meal that would never happen at Olive Garden I mean this place can’t even give you the bare minimum on customer service. Now the next part is the kicker now keep in mind I still paid for my meal obviously everyone from ownership to management to staff does not care and doesnt carry that true Italian passion you get from other Italian restaurants. And as we left the staff said thanks for the 1 star review my reply “you welcome and you get what you deserve” then an argument insued… Do Not Do Not waste your money or time here they already got my donation hope it helps them make improvements because based on all these reviews the people of Saginaw deserve better than this much better than this. Don’t Support this Place until they are willing to listen to the people and make changes…“

“Been going to this restaurant since it opened and have never been disappointed in what I ordered. However tonight was totally different. Ordered a eggplant sub and it was awful. Won't do that again. My husband's meatball sub was not the greatest either.“

“We have been here many times and usually go for my birthday. It’s the place I always pick. It never disappoints. It’s a small restaurant that doesn’t care about mass producing food to serve high volumes of customers. Everything is extremely fresh and is prepared by the order. Yes, it’s more than all the bad chain restaurants, but you get what you pay for. I’ve had the quail, Buffalo mozzarella, and Italian sausage appetizers. They are all so good it’s hard to choose. I’ve had fish, multiple Buffalo cuts, the filet, ribeye, bone in ribeye, etc. it’s all amazing. Can’t wait to go back.“

“This is not the closest Olive Garden to my home but I will always do the extra drive to come here! Ramiro took care of us today and service like his is the exact reason why I will continue to make the drive! He is such an AMAZING waiter! I recommend this location as I’ve never had a bad experience here.“

“Ordered lasagna and cannoli here for the first time ever! Loved it! Will be back again soon!“

“Enjoyed Al Dente on a Sunday afternoon. Great service, wonderful chill atmosphere and the food was good. Linguine Alla Vodka was nice and creamy, the Pasta Promavera was full of vegetables perfectly cooked and the Tortellini/Amateiciana was delicious.“

“Love this place. Very inexpensive. Worth it. Of course this isn't fancy itallian! Prices meets the value! Don't be harshing on stars people... you can't expect fine dining when you don't pick a fine dining place. Just your good ole no frills simple italian eatery. Solid.“

“Today we were dinning in celebration of my sister-in-law's birthday. Our server, Maribel, was awesome! She has exceptiobal service in my opinion. So, I can say that everything was great thia evening. Thank you Olive Garden & Maribel for the excellent food and service. We definitively will come back!“

“Wow where do I begin, if you’re looking for authentic Italian place with great food look no further, Nick behind the bar will make you feel like you’re in the beautiful country itself the moment you walk in. The atmosphere the food the vibes, nothing short than amazing I didn’t even want to be on my phone that’s how good my experience was. That guy is a legend I recommend going to the bar to have a chat with him to top off the already wonderful experience. Good job ?“
