“Karon was very helpful with me showing up a little past closing. He made sure my pizza was ready to order and his customer service was amazing. Christa, had great customer service. She ALWAYS remember her customers and supportive to making sure they’re taken care “
“I placed a pick up up order at lunch time and was surprised to find there was only one other group in the large restaurant. The Superstar of the meal was the Garlic knots. Hot, buttery and garlicky these delicious creations alone were worth the trip. Hands down they are the best garlic knots I have ever tasted. I also ordered the Shrimp creamora which was very good, with a delicate creamy sauce and perfectly cooked shrimp. The side of sausages were okay, but somewhat bland and lacked the seasoning I’d expect in an Italian style sausage. I paid extra for a side salad and was disappointed to find that it was only made of head lettuce, a couple of spinach and an underripe wedge of tomato. So, a little hit or miss… Based upon the Garland knots, I would believe their calzones, or pizza would be worth a try.“
“My husband and I had planned to eat at a previously visited restaurant and on the way saw Luigi's-we turned around and decided to try Lugi's instead. Luigi's did not disappoint! Our server, Dillon, was outstanding and the additional wait staff were attentive as well. We had the shrimp diavalo, garlic bread, calamari, and a frozen fruity drink which was the perfect pairing to tone down the spicy diavalo shrimp dish...all delicious! We will definitely visit again!“
“My favorite Italian restaurant!! It’s family owned, the wife and husband are always so welcoming and friendly! My boyfriend and I have been coming here for 2+ years now, almost every Friday night for date night, and they never disappoint! The food is absolutely DELICIOUS, they are reasonably priced, and BYOB. Our favorite place to have date night, I’d recommend Besa’s any night of the week!“
“We were invited to Dinner and were told they served delicious food. I have to say," I must agree!" Everything was so good. Their meatballs, their Paella, the Crab Dip, their RibEye Steak, the Salmon and more was on point. The place is nice and cozy and the service was Awesome. I can't wait to go back. I recommend you try it.“
“I love this place! The food and drinks we've had have been really great. The service is wonderful every time we eat here. The only downside is the wait, but it's worth it! I get the basil pasta with scallops and omg!!! It is soooo amazing! You have to try this place. We highly recommend it!“
“Let me start by saying, WOW! From the moment we stepped foot into Valentino’s, we knew we were in for a treat. Our server, a younger brunette whose name escapes me (but she’s an absolute gem!), provided service that was nothing short of stellar.Now, let’s talk about the food. Those fresh-baked rolls? They were like little pillows of heaven melting in our mouths. And the pizza? Oh, that crust! So fresh, so flavorful, and piled high with generous toppings that left us craving more.But wait, there’s more! My wife ordered a ravioli dish that danced on our taste buds with its wickedly delicious flavor notes. Needless to say, every bite was a delightful journey through Italian cuisine.This was our first time at Valentino’s, but it definitely won’t be our last. With Italian options in Rockwall falling short, Valentino’s has become our new go-to spot for authentic, mouthwatering dishes. Grazie mille for an unforgettable dining experience! We’ll be back, and we’ll be bringing friends! ???“
“Best pizza around. I always get the Joe’s Special because I like everything in it. I also don’t like too much sauce and their’s is perfect. It’s hot when it gets here, too! I’ve tried other Plano pizzas but gave up because this one is always just right!“
“The food was excellent and even on a busy Friday night they got it out quickly. We ordered the supreme pizza, a Stromboli and a Calzone. All were excellent. Great service. It was loud and crowded and I felt like we were eating dinner with the people at the table next to us, so it's super cozy.“
“Not only great pizza. try the spaghetti and meat sauce or any of the other pastas.so good and good size portions. But the best thing I've had from them is their cannoli. The perfect dessert. A very crispy shell with chocolate chips in the filling and nice drizzle of chocolate sauce on top.“
“We opted to have lunch at The Oar House with a business lunch in mind on a Friday and wanted a place that would not be loud and intrusive. It had been years since I had visited, but I was still hopeful for a good lunch, excellent service, and an atmosphere to be relaxed. We were not disappointed. Before we selected a place to eat, we all looked at online menus to get an idea of what sounded good to everyone. The pricing is not what made our decisions, but it should be noted that the menu you are handed in the restaurant has a few items with higher pricing than the online menu. I would recommend they correct that for transparency's sake. This meal alone was $19, more expensive than the online menu. I am not complaining, but that's an extra lunch entrée at additional costs.Now, I got lost in conversation and did not get nearly enough photos, but did grab a few here and there. When we arrived at 11:45 am, the parking lot had only a few cars. Lunch service runs from 11 am to 2 pm, and they close again until dinner. When we walked in, two of my business partners and one of their wives and I were greeted warmly and guided to our table. The place was clean and well-lit but not bright, which is always a plus. The decorations seemed well maintained, the ones we noticed. I was reminded of all the many trips here in the past as the rustic interior welcomed us in. The little touches like stained glass windows and old world style feel made the place feel like we were no longer in little ol Rockwall.Our server took our orders for drinks promptly, and we opted for a few appetizers to share. We ordered the Funghetti Ripieni, bruschetta, and Cozze al Vino Bianco. Bread and butter were served at the table as well. We ordered Spezzatino di Manzo, Suprema Al Ferro, Caeser con Pollo, Ravioli Di Formaggio, and lobster bisque for lunch.Overall the meal and the experience was amazing. The food was great, and the atmosphere was very inviting. I love the old, cozy feel of the place. It feels like you are in a comfortable, warm place with an appealing atmosphere. The server, Ryan, was terrific. We felt like the only people in the place the entire meal. Even though there were a few other people there, the service was top-notch. The Oar House will stay in my rotation of places for a while. They continue to impress and provide great food and service; with a few tweaks, they will be just that much better. We over stayed our welcome and got lost in conversation. We looked up and it was well past 2pm, and they had already shut down. They were patiently waiting on us and never interrupted our conversation one time. We apologized for keeping them past 2pm, and they were very kind. They kindly said, not a problem at all. Happy you enjoyed your time. Come see us again. I can say that I will continue to go and will keep them in the rotation for sure.“
“I highly recommend this place as a go-to for pizza and other delights. I live close to Dominos and other pizzerias but I’d gladly take the drive to dine in here or order. Their Al Capones’ is my favorite pizza and they offer a wide range of sizes like the ‘family size pizza’. I recommend checking their pastas too (wasn’t a pasta fan until I had theirs)! I especially praise the new management and how they have provide my family service and always are on top to make sure they are providing quality food. High quality! Seriously, a review is not enough to extol this restaurant. Always come here and will for as long as the people running this place remain in business and continue to work there. Absolutely the best pizzeria in DFW. Heck, I’d say in Texas. You will not regret, and you will find it (evidently) empirically true when you find yourself visiting here often!“
“I had the Chicken Parmigiana while my husband had the lasagna. They were excellent! The tomato sauce was not tangy, but full of flavor.I normally don’t like the spice mix in the olive oil to use with the bread, but Carrabba’s has a great seasoning mixture.The music was in the background as it should be and was not annoying. We could talk without raising our voices.The waiter took good care of us. We left happy and very full.“
“Small little eatery with delicious food! Unlimited free breadsticks was an unexpected nice touch! We just wanted pizza but there were so many appetizing things on the menu. We ordered a medium pizza and it was waay bigger than expected! It was delicious, the only negative is I ate so much I didn't get to try their desserts! Canollis, brownies & Cheesecake all look delicious! I might go back just to fill up on desserts!“
“Food we ordered for the most part was delicious. I ordered baked ziti and minestrone soup. He ordered canneloni. Fried cheese for app, nothing special. The marinara sauce yummy. Friends ordered pizza and it was ok. Dessert, tiramisu, cannoli and cheesecake all so good! Service was ok. We were only ones in there and server was slow. Just visiting the area and came bc heard about from coffee walk. Will prob eat here again.“
“Gotta say, This place was the real deal. We sat towards the entrance to the seating area and saw many of the dishes that were ordered as they passed by. They all looked fantastic. Our food was just as good. Portion size was great. true value for your money. Very busy but not so much that personal attention was lost. Good hustle from all who were there. Got to meet the owners dad. Cool dude. Definitely going back if we are in town.Parking: Get there early. Parking is limited in the evenings since they share a parking lot with a business strip.“
“First of all when you walking in the door the customer service was amazing! The food was great! I had the buffalo 14 inch pizza the chicken was so flavorful. I picked up an individual piece of chicken and ate it, and it tasted like smoked chicken. Definitely not frozen chicken. I also liked the fact that the buffalo sauce was not over powering. A friend of mine had the five meat with jalapenos added. He said he wanted a lot of jalapenos and they did not disappoint. Granted he did get double jalapenos and it was a 3$ extra charge but like I said they did not disappoint. My wife got the Manhattan and added pineapple. She did say the pineapple had a funny taste to it so she just picked them off. But still overall she was satisfied with her pizza. Garlic knots phenomenal!!!!!! Me and my family will absolutely be coming back to this place.“
“We spent the day walking around downtown Plano, and we stopped in for lunch at Urban Crust.This was our first time here, we set up on the rooftop since it was a beautiful day outside.The service of the servers was fast and friendly.They have a variety of different menu choices, the brick over bread with the olive tapenade is absolutely amazing. I had the Caprese salad and the blue cheese fries. All were very good.“
“High-quality food you can tell that the chef cooks with high-quality ingredients and with passion.This is definitely a gem of a restaurant .Highly recommend .I tried the chicken sandwich and it was honestly one of the best meals I have eaten . I have been to various restaurants through the country including fine dining and Alondra hits the mark !“
“The food is quick and tasty!... consistent and exactly what I expect every time. It helps that Brenda and Steven are the ones that serve me the most and they always have an infectious energy with the utmost professionalism. ???Vegetarian options: Animal proteins are optional for what can be a vegetarian menu.“
“My family and I enjoyed our dinner at Mangia Bistro immensely. The charcuterie was full of a delicious assortment of meats, cheeses, olives, dates, and nuts. The pizzas were among the best I've ever had - sausage and fennel was like one I had in Rome. Also had perfectly spiced arrabiata pasta, chicken piccata, and generous sized salads. Two downsides to our visit, though. One of our guests received the wrong pizza, and unfortunately he had to wait quite a while to get a new pizza. It would have been nice if the manager at least came over to apologize for the error and the wait. And there were no cannoli available for dessert, which we were really looking forward to. We would definitely return if we lived closer.“
“So I’m pretty tired of the local Pizza Hut service, and I recently switched to Mario’s, their food and service is far betterI’m on vacation so I don’t really care, but the manager from the store just called me 15 minutes before the pizza was supposed to be here and telling me what’s going on and letting me know that he might be about 10 or 15 minutes late, I was like your guess that’s more than your competitors do stick with Mario ‘s“
“We ordered through Door Dash, and amazed. I wanted a bite of pizza and some lasagna. We each ordered a slice, and shared the lasagna. The slice feeds 2 easily. My goodness, the ingredients are fresh, crust is amazing, and lasagna is better than what I make. That lasagna comment was hard to type, but I have to admit it. I make great lasagna, but this one hits differently. Pizza was thin, crispy, fresh toppings, and fast delivery. We will definitely be back. I'd type more, but my pizza is getting cold.“
“Great local gem. The service was great. The food was delicious and the prices are reasonable. We were searching for a new pizza joint and wanted to give this restaurant a try. Thanks to the other reviews we expected to have a great experience and we did. I ordered the calzone, my partner ordered the shrimp scampi and we ordered a slice of pizza to share. Both dishes were YUMMY and a great portion size. The pizza was delicious, a large slice and we will definitely try a whole pie in the near future. My partner has already been back to get another order of the shrimp scampi. This restaurant will be a staple in our rotation.“
“We catered from here for a work event and the food did not disappoint! Not only did everything taste fantastic, the service was 10/10. Consuelo was amazing with helping me put together a catering package that worked with our group and she responded in a timely, friendly manner. Will definitely continue to do business with them!“
“Ragu was our favorite dish by far - rich and meaty and the pasta was so chewy! Frito misto is meh, but a generous portion. Pesto fusili was good and good size but not mind blowing. Pizza with spicy peppers and onions was really tasty! Service was perfectly attentive and the restaurant is nice and intimate but our mature kids fit in fine too!“
“Insanely delicious and authentic pastas and sauces. The friendliest and most appreciative staff i’ve met. Awesome specials tooOnly two knocks are interior (don’t really let it bother you) and prices. Prices are high because of the sweat equity it takes to make food of this caliber, but it was get expensive quick.Run, don’t walk, to go here. Best pasta in Dallas.“
“An exceptional culinary experience with every visit! At Esta Aura, you'll discover an Italian gastronomic treasure that I highly recommend. From the moment you walk in, you're enveloped in a cozy and elegant atmosphere. The service, led by the incredibly attentive and professional Bujar, is impeccable. He's not only friendly but also provided us with the best recommendations for our meals; he's a key figure in this place! Plus, apart from being super handsome ??, his charm adds to the dining experience.But what truly sets Esta Aura apart is its exquisite food. Every dish is a masterpiece of authentic and fresh flavors. Perfectly al dente pastas with high-quality ingredients, every bite is a journey to Italy. Additionally, their wine selection perfectly complements each meal.In summary, Esta Aura is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary experience not to be missed. I recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and exceptional service!“
“Got catering from here 3 times, staff is super nice as are the owners. The food has been excellent every time. We have gotten the baked ziti, penne Alfredo, pizza, salad, and garlic bread rolls. Everyone loves their salad dressing.! at our last party. All our guests kept asking where the food was from, everyone loved it.!Vegetarian options: They are very accommodating for dietary restrictions and making items on the menu vegetarian to fit our needs“
“At Jannet's Pizza & Pasta, I ordered food for my 200-person social event, a Quinceañera. The meal included salad, Tuscan soup, pasta with chicken and vegetables. In my opinion and that of my guests, the dish was haute cuisine, it was extremely a delight of food. We realized that Don Felipe and his family put their heart and soul into every dish they prepare. My family and I totally recommend Jannet's Pizza & Pasta to sponsor any event.At Jannet's Pizza & Pasta, I ordered food for my social event of 200 people, a Quinceañera.

“Update after new ownership: Pizza is still great and the new owners are very nice and attentive. Meat Lovers is still my go to and my fiancé loves the Chicken Alfredo. The canoles are quite good too. We always pick up our orders and they are ready within the time they tell us. All around good spot!Original post: Great pizza and consistent quality. It’s our go to spot!“
“The food is prepared freshly and tailored to our preferences. I appreciated the warm welcome and the server’s polite and friendly demeanor. She was knowledgeable about every aspect and provided helpful suggestions. I would suggest this place as an alternative to any well-known Italian restaurant in town.“
“I have purchased food here quite a few times and am never disappointed. I ordered the Spaghetti the Works and a house salad with house dressing. I couldn't eat it all and am having one of the rolls and remaining Spaghetti the Works for lunch. Last night this was so good and today it is even better. When I want really, really good Italian, Gianni's is where I go. They also provide great customer service.“
“Went in for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Server was super sweet and explained the menu very well. We had a pasta with shrimp and scallops that had an amazing red sauce with a good amount of spice. The strawberry cheesecake is a must try. Super soft and not too “
“It was my first time visiting here. The people there were very welcoming. I tried their pepperoni pizza and a calzone. Since it was my first time there, they gave me a free cinnamon dessert pizza on the house! That was very, very good. It reminded of the cinnamon sticks that Domino's used to have.“
“So I’m giving two reviews. I walked in after 10 pm. Bartender was very attentive right off. Sweetest guy , had a good cold shiner. I’ve been working all day on a Sunday! I needed this bar. It’s small , friendly clean.Update pizza is awesome!! Yup“
“The best. I used to live two blocks away. Now I drive an hour from Fort Worth for the best calamari in DFW -for real-, yummy pizza, great pasta. Do you know about these old fashioned neighborhood restaurants with generous portions, wonderful service and very reasonable prices?? This is it. So happy they have not become a franchise. I am afraid one day they just might. Just too good. Thanks guys.“
“Eddies is a local gem, excellent New York style pizza at a reasonable price. The rest of the menu is delicious as well - always see a lot of local traffic in there when we order carry out. Staff is friendly and work hard to make sure things are done right.“
“Food: great.Service: great.Ambience: great.Our server was the sweetest person. She was down to earth and honest. We ordered the chicken murphy and pasta alfreno, both were really good. The bread was hot and tasted yummy. The chocolate cake was out of the world. Everything was perfect and we loved it!!!“
“i had a wonderful experience here. it was my first time dining here and the food was lovely. my server was a nice girl named Sage! she is very pretty and was very kind. she offered great recommendations, was funny and helpful, very insightful, and just all around wonderful service. will definitely look forward to coming back here and hopefully getting her service again!“
“Really really good pizza and pasta. We ordered the Tikka Tikka Time pizza, and Tikka Tok pasta and the pizzas crust was really nice thin and not too over or under cooked. The flavor was really well balanced as well. The pasta was great as well, very rich flavors. I would highly recommend this place! They do catering as well and very friendly owners“
“Excellent pizza! Ordered the 16" Eastside Special. Ingredients hand cut, crust is hand tossed delicious. Wow! Chicken wings, tasty, next time we will order 20 instead of the 10 we got. While waiting for our take-out, we decided to have dessert. The bread pudding...yes! Hot bread pudding with vanilla ice cream nice nice. Add the creme brulee... dessert heaven! So good, we added tiramisu and a cannoli to our take out order.Can't wait to come back, and dine in and have their pasta dishes!“
“A long time family go-to staple since the day they opened. The sweetest staff and real legit homemade Italian food by an awesome Italian family. Our kids grew up here. It’s an East Dallas gem. It’s not so secret anymore so we usually get take out. ?“
“Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We love Italian Villa! The stuffed shells are my favorite! Their bread is so fluffy and yummy. Their house dressing might be the best around! It's so, so good!! The pizza is amazing. I haven't had anything from Italian Villa that I haven't liked ?♀️ BYOB, I believe, but they do have some wines on hand, as well. It's a fantastic, family owned, Italian restaurant! ❤️“
“The service and food were both great. Friendly and welcoming. Came here with my family for Valentine’s and had a great time. The food came out fast and was freshly made. They never rushed us even past closing. We were happy the Peruvian place next door told us their kitchen was closed 20 minutes before closing or we would have never went to Aboca’s. Highly recommended“
“Excellent customer service. Small family owned and operated. Delicious italian dishes. Pizza is top notch. Made with quality ingredients and care. Try the Brazilian options! We drive over an hour to eat Marinara Pizza when we're craving pizza.“
“I recently tried Marco's Pizza and was thoroughly impressed! The pizza had a perfect balance of flavors, the crust was deliciously crispy, and the toppings were fresh. The service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend Marco's Pizza for a delightful dining experience.“
“Hidden Gem! First time trying this place me and my husband are celebrating 1yr and 3 months together.customer service was amazing, food was very affordable and tasted better than Olive Garden hands down! wasn't crowded either and wall art is amazing. Will definitely be coming back I got fettuccine Alfredo with fried chicken that came with garlic knots and my husband got the calzone, we both didn't finish our meal but we're completely satisfied with our choices.“
“Everything was perfect. No wait for our reservation took a party of 15 with ease. Perfect and attentive service. The homemade food was fantastic and fresh absolutely delicious. The stuffed mushrooms are to die for, the sauce you will dream about forever. It tastes as wonderful as it has for the last 7 years. The chicken marsala was amazing and the pizzas were fantastic. Love the dessert. Everything was just perfect. Best place to hold a party . Thank you we always have a wonderful time.Vegetarian options: Love the vegetarian pizza ?. All kinds of vegetarian recipes so delicious.Dietary restrictions: Very nice about checking on dietary issues. Very helpful ?Parking: Safe well lit parking lot.“
“I tried Dough's Gourmet Pizza for the first time last week and ordered Lasagna with chicken. It was so good and fresh that I returned a week later to try the Calzone. The freshness of the ingredients is impeccable. I placed Dough Gourmet Pizza at the top of the pizza market. Very good!“
