    My beautiful wife with our Special Family Pizza
    Miguel M.

    In a work day because my wife works Sunday at the station, we had to celebrate our wedding anniversary in an hour... so we decided to come to Compari's. Why? Because is quick in the service and delicious food. A humble place with human warmth, friendly and affordable!!! We had their traditional antipasto and a family House Special pizza and their Spumoni is back!!! Try it , better don't miss it!!!

    Chicken Parmesan, garlic bread and pasta

    I got the chicken Parmesan and it was cooked to perfection. It was great portions as well. It was very, very delicious. I will definitely get this dish again. We got our order to go, but will be coming back to sit down and eat in the restaurant. It was very cute inside. It also had a lot of people in there. So it is really good.

    Half anti-pasta with bread and olive oil.
    Robert G.

    What went well? Everything! Finished a good hour swim in the pool and was ready to grub-big time. Been here many times, but this was my first time with the Yelp review. Ordered the anti-pasta salad for starters, then jumped right into a small meat lovers with extra cheese (both pictured). An Arnold Palmer washed things down. As for the server, I had the best of the best, a seasoned gentleman and familiar face in these parts named Elver. Top notch service all around. I'll be back...again.

    Spumoni!

    Always a good time at Compari's! I have been coming here for 20 years; the food is great and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming! The scene is close -knit and cute and the music in the background makes it a very warm and endearing location! I'm a big fan of the heavenly garden pizza, ALL of their salads, mushroom app and the chicken parm! May have to try some of their newer items too!! Make sure to try some of their homemade deserts like the spumoni!

    I came here on a Friday (day before Valentine's Day) at 5:30pm and was seated right away. It started to get busy around 7pm and tables were filling up. The ambiance was so welcoming and festive for the holiday with hearts and roses scattered throughout the restaurant. Compari's is a cute little hidden gem of an Italian restaurant that more people should know about. Elver and Paris were so sweet and attentive. We started with the zucchini and mushrooms as an appetizer that came out piping hot with ranch dipping sauce. The zucchini and mushrooms were cooked perfectly and stayed in tacked while having a crispy outer coat. For Valentine's Day they have a set menu for two people from Friday to Sunday for dinner and lunch service. It's a great deal! We got the house salad, heart shaped lobster ravioli, lady and the tramp spaghetti with a giant meatball and the cheesecake. I almost forgot the garlic bread, we had to have two servings of the bread to soak up all the sauce! The portions were generous and the ravioli were stuffed with lobster! You can tell the food is made in house and with a lot of love. The pasta was delicious and the meatball was so tender and juicy. For the dessert we even got homemade chocolate covered strawberries with our cheesecake. It was a very special treat to end a wonderful meal -- I was stuffed! I can't wait to come back and try their lunch specials or pizzas! You definitely have to try it!

    Pastas and garlic bread
    Shanelle S.

    A hidden gem with friendly service and cute vibes inside. Came here with my boyfriend for a lowkey Tuesday date night and we both really liked it. The portion sizes are generous and I really liked my chicken pesto. Similarly, my boyfriend inhaled his ravioli in a lemon cream sauce. Both dishes came with crusty garlic bread that came hot from the oven. The decor was rustic Italian with sparkling lights on the ceiling. The place is intimate and cozy. There's a few free parking spots available in the front, otherwise street parking is available. Credit cards are accepted. Dine-in and takeout available.

    Mushroom Ravioli in Lemon sage sauce special
    Katie H.

    Well, EXCUSE ME, sir/madam! I did not know what an incredibly tasting, sweetest staff, and friggin ADORABLE restaurant this was! My friends brought me after working on a short film together, it was an exhausting yet rewarding day to begin with, but this meal topped it. Excellent mushroom ravioli in a lemon sauce, some of the best Chianti I've Ever had, and a truly lovely intimate restaurant. Not to mention the music and vibes pergola above the restaurant made me long for returning to Italy. Thank you Compari! I will definitely be back. Also... Forgive me, I had a moment with the rest of the Mushroom Lemon Ravioli Special, so I only left one (momentarily to be rapidly consumed) ravioli. But here's her beauty. My god that sauce, I nearly licked the plate. Imma dream about this dish. Can't wait to have the next meal here.

    Lunch lasagna (big serving!) with side of garlic bread
    Ariana A.

    Eating out has gotten expensive, but these lunch specials are fantastic! $12 for most options, and comes with a side salad and garlic toast. The service is warm and attentive. Parisa is an absolute gem! I visited at the end of lunch when it wasn't busy. The peace and quiet allowed me to relax and enjoy the Italian ambiance and food.

    Chicken Cacciatore
    Becky B.

    This was a complete, and much needed, surprise! We hadn't tried a new (for us) Italian place in a while, and with it being National Lasagna Day back on July 29, my guy came through on finding this place. Holy cow, since we're already mentioning Lasagna, this place has the best lasagna that I've had in *years*. The pasta layers were perfectly cooked! There was no need to really use a knife to cut it apart. The edges were crisp without it being tough to cut or chew. The cheese to meat ratio was heavenly, and the red sauce (marinara/gravy/whatever you choose to call it) was deep. The dishes we got the sauce on were perfect. Even for the mozzarella sticks. The Chicken Cacciatore was hearty on so many different levels with the veggies and chicken and pasta. The lemon sauce ravioli was delicious, but I don't recall the specific ravioli stuffing. The Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken was spot-on comfort food. We also got the fried mushrooms as appetizer, which were stellar. They were perfectly battered and fried, but be careful because they do hold the heat from frying for a while. My guy is a cheesecake fiend, so of course he has to try it. It was imperfectly perfect. It looked homemade, so we asked, and while they don't make it in-house, they said they do get it from a local bakery. So delicious and worth the splurge if you have the stomach space. Service was splendid and the guy was a delight to chat with. It wasn't too busy inside, but there was a genuine mix of people/cultures that we really appreciated. The space is small, but the decor envelopes you and takes you away to somewhere other than a bustling urban area. Definitely going back.

    A perfect, small mushroom pizza!

The Caesar salad was probably one of the best Caesar salads I've had. It was light, crisp, and refreshing without feeling overly heavy. We also had the crudo, which was excellent, and the burrata with tomatoes and crispy bread -- so simple but so good. Everyone at the table was loving it. But the pizzas were definitely a highlight for me. I love the square shape and that thick, crispy dough. And the chili oil they give you on the side is SO good. Such a great little touch and definitely something I kept going back to. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a really nice patio and a lovely indoor space. The staff was friendly, they have a great wine list, and we had a delicious Blanc de Blancs sparkling that paired perfectly with dinner. Overall, De La Nonna is just a great restaurant for a relaxed dinner with good food, good wine, and good company. I'm glad I got to come back because I definitely appreciated it even more this time around.

We started with the Insalata Mista. The lemon honey dressing for this salad was delicious. That was my favorite of the evening. We also got the squash blossom which had a nice cheese pull. Our mains were the Maccheroni Pasticciati (pasta) and Spicy Salame Calabrese Tartufato (pizza). The pizza was tasty but it was the pasta that really stood out. It was al dente with the melted cheese charred bits adding a nicer bite. We ended with Pistachio Gelato which was light on the pistachio flavor. We made it just under two hours for the meal.

The lady answered the phone "slice", I confirmed I was calling Braazos she said yes and confirmed all 3 of my orders and their delivery times. 11:45, my 2nd order is delivered, but where is my 1st and 3rd order? 12 noon, I call the restaurant, no answer and the line drops, so call the 888# again, a man answers confirms my orders and says he will call the restaurant. He says their system was down but I'll have my remaining 2 orders in 3-5 min. 12:20, the delivery guy delivers the 3rd order, and only 3 of 5 pizzas from my 1st order. How is that??? Why is my first order not delivered first and why is it not the FULL order? So I call the 888# number AGAIN, and ask for the # to the restaurant as the one I called there was no answer. I also asked the delivery guy to call the restaurant itself. They answer and tell him that it's right. I show him my email order confirmation and he lets them know I'm still missing 2 pizzas. The man who I spoke with before at the 888# is still on the phone. He says it's the delivery guys fault as he got the order wrong. No...he's not the one making and filling the order, he's only delivering them. The delivery guys tells me he has to now go back because they are making my last 2 pizzas. It's 12;34pm at this point. So much for my pizza party at 12! My last 2 pizzas don't arrive until 12:50pm, too hot to eat, with the toppings sliding off of the dough! At this point, I'm annoyed and disgusted with the service.

Thank Domingo (delivery guy) for being kind and understanding...it wasn't your fault! I won't be ordering from them ever! 1st impressions are lasting impressions!
