The food at Aquarios is amazing! The ambience is bright and busy. We heard about this place and coming from New York we were looking for a good pizza spot. We are blown away by the fresh ingredients and the warm hospitality of the owner! He sat down with us and shared his story. It was great connecting with good people. The food and entire experience was amazing. Our new favorite spot. Highly recommend! read more

The food is always stellar and the service is amazing as well. We love their rigatoni bolognese as well as their pizza, specifically the pepperoni! The only issue I've noticed is with the bread. Their bread is excellent but why is it you have to ask for it like it's a secret? We ordered salads tonight and you would assume that bread would just arrive with it, correct? Why can't they just bring the bread to your table after you place your order?? I mean, what's the large olive oil bottle for that sits on the tables? read more

Food and service are amazing! This was our first time and we loved it. We will be back!

Amazing! Definitely will be coming back. Our waiter, Ethan, was amazing and knowledgeable. It reminded us from last summer 2026 when we were in Verona and Venice Italy. Thank you read more

The food is excellent. I order to go a bit but dined in for first time. We're still pleasantly surprised on the atmosphere and how open and beautiful it is. It's fun and lively. Bar seats available if you want to walk in and not wait! Was greeted by a beautiful and professional hostess, Bridgette. Our server Tim kept our drinks full and great service. The Bolognese was fantastic, the pizza is incredible! Our friend has a birthday and they brought her the most fun dessert. read more

Acquario Pizza Pasta Bar - Italian Near Me - Keller, Texas

I was quite surprised when I walked in and this was a full sit down restaurant! The service was great and so was the food! My husband and I split a pizza and added a Cesar salad which was quite large! It is a little loud and echos inside but I feel so many restaurants are like that now! Definitely would go back read more

It's all about the pizza crust with me and this pizza crust is AMAZING . I normally try (and succeed!) to take photos of the food for a review BEFORE we eat (because after all - who wants to see a half eaten dish!) BUT I did not get a chance this time as the pizza was put down in front of us and my kids (and husband!!!) dove right in (see pic for evidence!). I'm surprised I managed to get a slice for myself ! lol. Laughter aside - the service is stellar and this pizza place is the real deal and we will definitely be visiting again to try some of the other pizza flavors. We were tempted by the pasta too - so we will definitely be trying that too next time! read more

First time here. We've been to the full Italian restaurant a few miles away but this was our first time to Acquario. We all ordered pizzas. My son and I ordered the Roma crust pizza which is the thin and crispy and my husband ordered the Neapolitan crust. We all agreed that the Roma crust is the way to go! All the pizzas were great in flavor. Love that they aren't all sauce. We also had the garlic bread but didn't need it. The pizza is plenty that you could share one if you didn't want a heavy meal. The waiter was friendly and offered recommendations as per our questions. The place is beautifully done. And this could definitely be a date night despite being in a shopping strip. We will def come back. read more

First time at Acquario, everything was good. The sauce seemed to be the same for all dishes. The bread pudding was not warm it was cold it was still good but expecting it to be warm with the cold ice cream. The pizza was really good, I forgot to capture the pizza pic. Will def come back for the pizza! The waiter was super nice and polite the restaurant was very clean too. read more

First, I think rating pizza is one of the hardest things to do because there are so many different elements to pizza, and it really depends on what you personally love about it. So let's get started. We went to Acquario on a Friday for lunch. It was not very busy at first, but about 10 minutes later the place was pretty much packed. The person greeting us was very nice and promptly seated us. It was VERY clean, and the ambiance was very chill. They have a very nice bar area where you can sit, enjoy a glass of wine, and watch the game while you eat pizza. You can see the entirety of the kitchen from the dining room, which is always cool. Even though it was packed, it was not noisy at all, which made it feel more intimate. Service was good. We had several people come to our table to make sure we had everything we needed and to refill our water. I like the idea of having everyone aware of all guests. I think this allows guests to get taken care of quickly. However, it can be tough because you are then rated by your least capable person. There were none of those today, which again showcases the quality of the staff. The food. We ordered three pizzas and Bruschettone for an appetizer. The Bruschettone was SO good. Very fresh, and the bread was absolutely amazing. You can tell the ingredients are all fresh. The pizzas were good, and this is where it gets tough. I liked the taste of them, and the crust was also very fresh and fluffy. However, with a thin crust pizza, I would like more crisp on the bottom. The pizza was not cut all the way through, which made it tough to pull off a piece. This was a pizza where, if you picked up a slice, all the toppings would fall off, so you are basically forced to eat it with a fork and knife, at least at first. I also felt the outside edge of the crust was a bit too thick. That is not to say it was bad, because it was very soft, but I think it takes away from the overall balance of the pizza and the toppings. The pizzas also took a while to come out. I know it was busy, so that could have played a part, but there was about a 15-minute wait before they arrived. At the end of the day, the three pizzas and the appetizer came to $74, which, in my opinion, is a bit high. I would like to try their pasta to see how it is. It's not to say that I wouldn't come back, because the food did taste VERY good. Overall, it was a good experience and good food, I would recommend giving them a try! read more

Excellent Woodfire pizza. The sauces and light crust are satisfying. Pizza comes in one size, it's a persona + but not filling so plan to add another dish. The dining is interesting with glasses on the table and black / white employee uniforms, linen napkins etc , the things you would expect from elevated dining but in a casual dining setting. We did have pasta as well but while the sauces were good we didn't like the thick noodles. This is pizza must try but bring cash, there is a 3% charge for credit cards. read more

The food is fantastic, we had the gnocchi, beef ravioli special, and the margarita pizza. All delicious!!! This is the second time we've been here this week, that's how delicious it is!!! The service was top notch, Christian took great care of us!!! Love the vibe and can't wait to come back! read more

Really enjoyed my anchovy and capers pizza. Fresh ingredients, and a crispy crust. The rigatoni pasta was okay, but nothing super special. Decent italian place! read more

We are so glad to see a locally owned business thrive. The original Acquario is excellent for a more formal evening and we enjoy it very much, so when the same people opened this pizza establishment, we were thrilled. The pizzas are excellent, the pricing fair, and you can easily come as a couple for a casual environment or bring your kids. Kind owners and staff. read more

I was very surprised at how good the pizza was and the Caesar salad. I love New York style pizza and they got the crust right, which most pizza places do not. The sauce was good and there was plenty of cheese. Great job! read more

Finally got a chance to stop by for a Saturday night dinner. No reservations, only walk in. There was a substantive wait with people milling about outside. Because we were only two people we waited less than 15 min at around 630pm. Not bad. The decor is super cute, casual, and comfortable. Love the bar and open concept. Lighting is bright and decor is uplifting. Service was excellent from the hostess, to all the servers and the owners who were there. We started out with their meal balls, then arugula salad and two pizzas - the margarita and the verdure (I wasn't crazy about the huge chunks of zucchini but that's a matter of preference). Everything was delicious - loved how the pizzas are uniquely fired with chewy puffy crust and thin. So many things we wanted to try. This will become a regular place for us for sure! read more

Arrived at 5:00 on Saturday and was already busy. We ended up sitting very close to the door. The decor was nice but nothing special. Our waiter was friendly and made some recommendations for us. The garlic bread was not good and was not worth the price. We ordered a pepperoni pizza that was very greasy but the crust was good. The rogatoni with sauce was good but had very little protein in it. The meal was okay but very overpriced. read more

Acquario Pizza Pasta Bar: A Taste of Italy in Keller Acquario Pizza Pasta Bar in Keller is one of those places that makes you feel like you've briefly escaped Texas and landed somewhere in Italy. As an Italian, I'm admittedly picky about Italian food, but Acquario impressed me from the moment we walked in. The bright, beautiful space, the warm atmosphere, and especially the impressive wood-fired Italian pizza oven immediately set the tone. We were warmly welcomed by Jimmy, a young Italian from Rome whose genuine hospitality and enthusiasm made us feel like family, while our server, Alketa, was equally wonderful and even shared stories from her time living in Italy. And for soccer fans, the Italian matches playing on the TVs during weekend lunch make this an especially fun spot to grab a pizza and a cold Peroni at the bar and enjoy a little taste of home. Then there's the food, and this is where Acquario really shines. Their Neapolitan-style pizzas come out of the wood-fired oven with beautifully charred, airy crusts, and for me, they're among the best Italian pizzas I've had in North Texas. The menu goes well beyond pizza, with house-made gnocchi, traditional pasta dishes, and an impressive selection of Italian favorites. The Gnocchi Sorrentina is pure comfort, while the Straccetti alla Nutella, fried pizza dough drizzled with Nutella and pistachio, are downright addictive. And don't even think about leaving without trying the Nana Stefania Tiramisu. What makes Acquario special isn't just the food; it's the combination of authentic Italian flavors, genuine hospitality, family traditions, and that unmistakable Italian passion. If you're looking for a real taste of Italy in Keller, Acquario is absolutely worth discovering. Come hungry! You'll leave already planning your next visit. read more

Been to the original Acquario for many Dinners. This sister restaurant's food is as delicious as original restaurant! Came here for lunch with the family and had a gluten free diavola, regular crust 4 cheese, and bolognese. Typically I'm not a fan for gluten free pizza crust, but this one was excellent. Great casual place with excellent food! read more

This new pizza and pasta bar just opened this week. The pizza is the best I have had, possibly ever, anywhere. I love that they use flour imported from Italy for their pasta and pizza dough. I can eat them both with no gluten issues. And it's not because that flour is without gluten, it's because they don't use pesticides in Italy. (I am only borderline Celiac.) The bar side of the restaurant is a little more upscale than the dining room side. Both are casual though. Our server did not know her menu at all, (again, brand new place) but since we had eaten at their Italian seafood restaurant the night before, we knew what the spaghetti pasta would look like. Also, heads up, the Napule salad and the Caprese appetizer are basically identical. Don't order both like we did. It was odd that we weren't greeted by a manager since they are brand new and he was mostly just sitting on the bar side of the restaurant. No big deal; just an observation. read more

We came for the soft opening and everything was outstanding! I have to say the Lasagna was easily some of the best I've ever had. The Diablo Pizza had just the right amount of everything to make it a fantastic pizza. Our sever was prompt and polite and genuinely a very friendly guy. The inside has been overhauled and it would remind you of being in an Italian cafe (without being packed in). We will certainly be back here and still enjoy the OG Acquario too! read more

From the moment you meet this charming & personable young chef from Rome, Gimmy Piperku - you can feel it -- pizza isn't just food to him, it's his heritage, his craft, and his heart. Bringing his passion all the way from Rome, Italy to Keller, TX he's not just helping a dream team in opening a restaurant -- he's sharing a piece of his story with our community. Every pizza reflects tradition, patience, and a deep respect for authentic Italian technique. You can taste the difference in his bread dough, the balance of the sauce, and the quality of every ingredient he's sourced. It's the kind of food that makes you slow down and savor each bite. The spicy Calabrian pizza Chef Gimmy made us to try this afternoon was exquisite What excites us most isn't just the incredible pizza -- it's the magic this place is going to bring to our community of Keller. We've seen how Nino & Elda Rata & Chef Fredi Plaku have fired on all cylinders with a restaurant like Acquario Italian Seafood and how it has truly elevated the Keller dining scene by creating not just amazing meals, but forging a charming gathering place where memories are made. I truly believe this new pizzeria & pasta bar will do the same. It's the start of something truly special -- a space where families will celebrate, friends will reconnect, and our community will grow a little closer over a shared table. North Texas is lucky to have a chef with this kind of dedication and soul. We can't wait to watch this restaurant flourish and become a staple in our community.

Excellent food and consistently great service. Always delicious! Amanda is fantastic!

Awful gnocchi. Very salty. Served in an inedible bread bowl with what tasted like unsweetened Spaghettio sauce diluted with pasta water. Undercooked Bucatini pasta came with two forgettable meatballs and had the same bland boring sauce. Bruschettone needed warm cheese and tomato instead of the jarringly cold cheese and tomato. Also needed less toasted garlic. Late delivered Caesar salad was tasty enough with crisp romaine and definitely enough for two. Fried dumpling strings with Nutella were a hit with the kids at another table but not us. Your high school cafeteria served better food. Our server was sweet and tried very hard but even she could not overcome the disappointing food. read more

Outstanding in every category - service, food, bright clean dining room. If you haven't been here yet for pizza - why not?!? Seriously, it's one of the best pizzas in the DFW area. This is the Margherita on the Roma crust. Perfectly crispy and chewy. The blood orange prosecco cocktail was lovely, and the Napule salad of arugula, cherry tomatoes, and a generous portion of buffalo mozzarella was amazing. Looking forward to returning and trying the rest of the menu. read more

The pizza is great here. I loved the crust specifically. We ordered a lemon sauced spaghetti that we didn't really care for. The staff were very attentive and the restaurant itself is tastefully decorated. It was a little noisy when we were there, I think it's the high ceilings making the noise carry. read more

Wonderful crust to hold all the top quality ingredients. We tried several pizzas and the were all great. Favorite was the special Regina Magherita an elevated version of the classic simple magarita. The tutte carne was a great balance of several meats with the perfect cheese and sauce on the crispy chewy dough. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A great spot for a few drinks and slices. Also has a few large TVs with games on. read more
