43 Best Italian Restaurants near Lake Dallas

“Went to a party this weekend and they served Romanos pizza and it was awesome. Ordered more this evening and it was a beautiful experience. While picking up the pizza, the owner came out ans displayed his unique collection of star wars things that he actually created himself, very cool. The pizza was awesome too!“

“Outstanding pie! Gint was great to meet and visit with while it was made too. I'm visiting for work in the area and so happy I found Capri's. I will be back every time I am up here. What a great place, people and incredible meat lovers pizza! Thx Gint and Capri's!!!!“

“Amazing food and staff, especially the Bartenders! They are all fantastic, but Sarah is my favorite:) Favorite menu items are- Steak Salerno or Tuna Grotto for an app. She crab soup for a second course, and I have to say the Beef and Crab is my ultimate favorite dish! Best place in town“

“Absolutely a ? - fantastic quality! Chicken Parmesan was delicious - Smash Burger so tasty. Brunt carrots were so good. Chocolate ginoch with basil ice cream sauce was a surprise finishing touches to a truly fantastic dinner. While the parking was tough to find, and the decor is friendly, not looking like a 5 ⭐, the food was so good, don't miss this gem!“

“Food and service is always exceptional, Osteria il Muro is serving some of the best food in DFW. Seasonal menu changes mean there is always something new to try. Everything is made in house, from the cultured butter and focaccia, to the cured meats, pasta and gelato. If you love food you will love Osteria il Muro.“

“Hands down, best Italian I’ve ever had! You can tell everything is made fresh, their rolls are homemade (and delicious)!! Blows Olive Garden out of the water. Best part is they have great service and it’s not expensive dining, just tastes like it!“

“This is my father's favorite restaurant in every aspect, which is saying something! The staff is wonderful and attentive. This is the best pizza we have found in the area by far. We have tried numerous items on the menu including pizzas, pastas, calzones, and desserts. No items had ever missed the mark! The atmosphere inside is laid back and BYOB with something like Frank Sinatra always playing. When we have to decide where to eat Enzo's always tops the list for an enjoyable meal!“

“One of my favorite restaurants. Great for a solo date or family outing. Prices are very affordable, the staff is attentive, and service is quick but quality at the same time.Every meal comes with a roll, soup or salad, and the entree.Clam chowder is my favorite soup, chicken, Marsalis, or the lobster tail is my favorite dish to order.“

“Vibrant interiors and great pasta!We really enjoyed the “Rasta Pasta”! The pepperoni pizza was also good, but was a tad bit small!Parking can be a bit hard to find since it is located in historic downtown Denton.Service was good, but a bit slow.They do not have any high chairs or booster seats! One family next to us was struggling with their toddler. Not very kid friendly, I’d say!“

“A very cute & cozy atmosphere- they’ve done such a beautiful job with the space! The service is top notch and far exceeded our expectations. The food was ok, didn’t hit the mark for us but the enjoyed the ambiance, environment & service.“

“I have to say this is by far one of the best pizzas in the Lewisville area. After ordering my first pie from here i haven't ordered pizza from any other place. The toppings are always fresh. And the crust thickness is just right. I recommend this place over any chain pizza place around. Especially if you want fresh real ingredients.“

“Ordered a pizza and dessert to go. Pizza was delicious!! Dessert was very disappointing. For the price, you'd expect a full piece of dessert. Husband finished his cheesecake in 4 bites. Wouldn't buy that again, but will be back for pizza!“

“We had pizza which was very good if you like thin crust. They do not have an option for a thick crust. Since we like the thick crust I gave them a three on the food. I think if you like thin crust you would probably give it a four or five. Very friendly staff and service is good.“

“Italian fast food is absolutely delicious at Italia Express located in the food court at Golden Triangle Mall. I heard people discussing thehuge pizza slices as I was shopping around. I decided to try it and got a chicken, tomato, spinach Stromboli. What an amazing flavor combination. The kitchen chefs came out to see how we liked the food. A man was picking up a huge take-out pizza for his boss. He said they've been getting pizza there for over 5 years.Excellent! Highly recommend!“

“Very tasty food, great service, friendly servers and atmospheric music. I tried a dish with baked chicken, artichokes, pasta and pesto sauce, and a lobster ravioli - just delicious! ?Prices are above average, but i think this is reasonable for such place.“

“This place was awesome. We went there on a whim, looking for another place and ended up here.Yes, it's small. Yes, the entrance is rather interesting and the parking area has something to be desired. Is an old strip mall. But once you get inside, it is a cozy family restaurant with the owner Syd and I think his brother Syd running the place. Who cares about the decor and table cloths if the food is good!The food was amazing and was really prepared fresh to order. I was debating between the beef and sausage so they offered to combine them. They also combined the meatballs and the meat sauce for my GF. The serve was very personable and I can see where some get offended because you have to engage them as they are trying to manage the tables and cook.We spoke to them after quite a bit, and they recommended reservations because it's only the two of them. And they want to make sure they can take care of everyone who they seat so if there's empty seats. It does not necessarily mean that they have an open table , I told him we'd be back and he recommended we call for a reservation so they save us a spot to make sure that they can serve us well. This is not some chain store and they know they have good food and will take care of the ones who show them the same respect.I highly recommend this place and those who don't appreciate it as someone said they can go someplace else...“

“Always clean nice staff and a nice pizza! They have a great lunch special where you get three different things for just $10.99. Very convenient, wet off the highway and Parker.And they don’t keep pizzas sitting out, reheat it and make it fresh !“

“We're regulars here & our favorite waiter is Mario - always attentive, courteous and GREAT with our 6yr-old. Management does a great job of training their waiters to offer the best experience while you're here! Be sure to call ahead - saves you tons of time on waiting!“

“I have never sat in and ate just always to go but every single time I have walked in the door they have treated me like I was their best customer. I keep coming back because the food is great with great prices and portions. Plus the great service. I will continue ordering from here and enjoying my great great food.“

“This is a place awesome. I love this restaurant so much because it has some awesome Italian food such as Lasagna, Pizza, Meatballs, and many other foods you can think of that other Italian restaurants serve.They also have cheese sticks, salads, and sandwiches as well. This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever gone to because the food is top-notch. If you are in the Highland Village, Texas area, please check out this outstanding restaurant.“

“Bari’s is awesome, my kiddo said to mention they have the best pizza, I really enjoyed the veal Parmesan, the owners are from NYC, you could taste the authenticity. The owner took care of us and was so gracious and patient as we had a table with 4 kids. A must go in Flower Mound!“

“I'm a native Texan, but I lived in Phoenix for a while. I got spoiled there, because there is a few different Famous Rays New York style pizza. I searched and searched and I FINALLY found an authentic New York pizza at Nicks! the pizza is awesome and the pasta dinners are too. Friendly staff, cool atmosphere. highly recommended“

“I usually don't leave a review while I'm still eating,but the food here is superb ?. (Calzone,salad,and drink) Place is clean, great atmosphere, and fresh food. Bathrooms were nice and clean. (Matters to me) I honestly can't wait to come back and eat again. ?“

“I ordered on the app said that my meal was ready.I got there and ended up having to wait for another 15 minutes to get my food .BUT THE FOOD WAS LIKE ALWAYS DELICIOUS. being from Philadelphia food isn’t to me the best down here but when I tried Rossetti’s was finally happy that I found a good place to go get some fresh pizza from that wasn’t a fast food joint. I recommend to try it and tell my friends that are looking for Italian food that they are the best in my area“

“The food was great. The service was great. And it was a quiet Monday night, so I can't say too much about the atmosphere. It was clean with nice tables and chairs and had a nice vibe to the place. It's our new go-to Italian spot. Check it out.“

“I was surprised on my birthday after swimming two miles with an Uber Eats delivery of a chicken and spinach pizza and tiramusu. The order was placed from Washington DC. The pizza had fresh ingredients and was delicious. My dessert finished off my meal. I am driving from Denton to eat at Palio's next time!“

“The adults got pizza, kiddo got spaghetti. The margherita and extreme Hawaiian were delicious! We found this place looking for NY style slices and it did not disappoint! Only downside was price, it was about $65 for the three of us to get a drink (Italian cream soda ?) and an entree. But I feel like the quality of the food was well worth the price, especially if you're not a family that splurges to eat out often. If we were local, we'd definitely go back. Our server was attentive and fast, and the atmosphere was very lively and fun.“

“Just felt like saying our Server Kenneth was the best server I've had in a long time. Was on top of everything extremely quickly, and went out of his way to give my wife and I a great experience. Not only that the food was great and fresh! I look forward to coming back specifically to this location in the future.“

“I live in the area and was craving some good fajita beef tacos. This place did not dissapoint! The meat was so flavorful and the tortillas made from scratch are great. Being from Phoenix, AZ i know a good taco place when i see it. This place is very good, and apparently their menudo is amazing, will try next time!“

“Great, comfy, and homely atmosphere. Our waiter, Nishi (sorry if I spelled that wrong!), was incredible. Extremely polite, inviting, and attended to our needs ASAP. Our food, the Chicken Murphy Pizza, was flavorful and came out fresh piping hot. Will definitely be coming back to experience this absolute joy of a restaurant.“

“Originally from the East Coast and extremely picky about Iralian cuisine. We ordered for take out, Lasagna and Pepperoni pizza. I was pleasantly surprised, especially with the pizza. Definitely had the Italian flair my tastebuds are used to. Very friendly on order and helped me out to the car.“

“I've only tried this place twice, but I really like what I tried. Chicken Parmigiano with spaghetti and the lasagna are highly recommended. I'm not used to marinara sauce that's so perfect. Not one pinch of salt or pepper did I have to add to the food. It was so flavorful. Perfectly cooked pasta. This place tucked away in a shopping center in The Colony is worth the trip.“

“The food amazing, the atmosphere amazing, the service beyond amazing. He put up with a lot from my family ans was always nice an gracious. From gluten free veead to being asked for a togo boxes numerous times (because someone's impatient) to the constant questions, he was simply impressive. I wish I could remember his name! He was soft spoken, longer hair, tall and about 30“

“We LOVE this restaurant. The food is amazing - we have had their soups, salads, pastas, fish, chicken - and our favorite starter - their fresh bread with butter and balsamic - SO good! But more than anything, their service is impeccable. Adrien and Patty run an amazing restaurant with good people that deserve our business. They work extremely hard and it shows. My husband and I will have this place as a staple for as long as we live in this area. Worth every penny.“

“A fusion of Indian spices with Italian sauces is what Fun Pizza Kitchen is all about. We tried pasta, chatpata pizza and paneer pizza of so many types. The fusion was so exotic that it super stimulated my taste buds in a manner my brain would not accept the signal to stop eating even when I was overly full.“

“The food is fantastic, and the service is friendly and very relaxed. I am not a fan of the dimmed lights, where you feel that you need a flashlight to see your menu.Parking: Behind the restaurant so can be a little confusing but it's available.“

“I really like many things about the homemade flavor of the ingredients on their pizza and dough and delicious caesar salad. It could be improved with consistency of crust...there is a huge variation in how thick or thin it is and whether it is cooked throughout, or not. Young staff in evenings seem to care more about visiting on their phones than care with orders and thoughtful hygiene when texting on phones and then handling food, friends who are hanging out at the restaurant, and even had lights turned out a couple of times when it was far from closing time. Also inconsistent if bread and olive oil are included with salads. Might be time for management to drop in a little in the evening.“

“We finally tried Mio Nono Trattoria and we're so glad we did!! Everything we ordered, from drinks to appetizers and mains, was absolutely delicious. We started with the beet salad & flatbread and a couple of cocktails. I could eat the beet salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner - it was that good! I ordered the Rigatoni A La Vodka with chicken and hubby got the 100 Layer Lasagna. I wished mine came with more chicken, but aside from that, we both thoroughly enjoyed our pasta dishes! The romantic, upscale ambiance makes this spot a go-to for date night or a celebratory dinner. Service was a bit hit or miss, we had to wait about 15 mins to get our drink order placed but no issues after that. We're looking forward to enjoying a meal here again!“

“This pizza really stands out among all the rest in FloMo. I really don't understand all the complaints about it being burnt and overbaked. To me, it's just right, but hey, maybe others like it limp, sloppy and watery. You won't find that here.My only issue (and this is a very small one) was that the pie loses some of its flavor and zest when you reheat the leftovers the next day. Other than that, this is the best pizza you'll find in the area. We'd order more but we live outside their delivery area so we gotta hoof it in to go get it. The hippy-looking dude at the counter is always cool though“

“The food was really good. I'm looking at you Brussels sprouts! Service was decent but not great, but we did enjoyed a nice bruschetta with friends in a nice quiet place with nice atmosphere. The food stars were the Brussels sprouts, the blueberry ricotta skillet pancake (so good!), and the pizzas were all great.“

“I just had Uber Eats deliver the pasta trio and I wish I had taken a picture before I started because it arrived looking perfect with 2 huge fresh rolls of bread! I love Genti’s when I go and sit down but it’s just as delightful delivered!! Now we can enjoy our movie night!! I recommend the pasta trio!!!“

“This is one of the best local pizza spots around. I love going here and they always deliver on the food. I recently was able to use them for a company function, and no surprise, they didn't even flinch at the size of the order that came in as soon as they opened. 30 minutes later, everything was ready to go. They even offered to carry it to my truck for me. I love throwing business to locally owned places, and I really love it when they are as fantastic as Joe's consistently is. Go see these guys, you won't be let down.“
