We were going to try a pizza but we went with pasta dishes instead. She already had the lasagna before and ordered it again, I went with the chicken parmigiana. Both dishes were great, but I think I liked her lasagna better. Neither dish felt heavy even though it looked heavy. The food was just delicious. This was a pick up order and as soon as I walked in to pick it up I was immediately greeted at the door with a friendly smile. This is a place we are going back to for more great food and hospitality.

We had dinner for two on a Saturday night with no reservation and we were seated within 5 minutes. The service was probably one of the best I've experienced. The speed in which our meals came out was impressive; it came out hot and fresh. We got the Chicken Parmigiana and the Niko Special. The Niko Special was something of beauty, both visually and taste wise lol. The chef was on to something with that Vodka aurora sauce. It came with hot cherry peppers as well, but I didn't taste/feel the spice as much. The complimentary garlic rolls were amazing. My leftovers made for a second meal because of the generous portion size. Overall a great dining experience and such an extremely friendly staff. Kudos all around.

This restaurant, located in a nondescript strip mall in Garland off NW Hwy, is truly a hidden gem…read more The ambience is nothing to write home about, but the food is outstanding. The chef is obviously trained and talented. We went here for dinner on a Sunday because the kid wanted pasta. The menu actually is quite diverse with some Italian, Mexican, vegetarian, meat, burgers, and flatbread. Usually or often when a restaurant tries to do everything it ends up doing nothing well. That is not the case with the Italian that we had here. We started with a Caprese salad and it was pretty standard. The wife had lamb chops and they were cooked perfectly. Great sauce. The spinach and mashed potatoes were also perfect. I had chicken piccata. It was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever had. Chicken was tender and the sauce was excellent. The grilled vegetables were cooked perfectly. We had fruit tart (excellent), cheesecake (excellent) and chocolate cake (excellent) for dessert. We want to come back. If the Mexican is as good as the Italian food, this place is an all-time winner.

When I entered, I was rather uncertain. The space looks like a stereotypical pizzeria. I wasn't impressed at all, but I was too tired to leave. HOWEVER, my attitude quickly changed as I was greeted by the outstanding wait staff. Over the course of my visit, I was checked on several times by what seemed to be either the owners or managers. In the heart of a busy city, these men went the extra mile to make me feel like a welcomed guest in their home. It was a very nice experience. I ordered the lasagna on the server's recommendation. What a plate of food! The meat sauce was not skimpy at all....lots of beef and flavorful seasoning. The noodles were soft while still firm enough to maintain the shape. The generous portion and the really soft bread were a great dinner to bring a long day to an end. As a lover of Italian food, I plan to visit several area restaurants over this weekend. I have to admit that I'm thinking about returning to Besa's to try out some of the delicious pizza I saw during my visit. Excellent experience! I'll definitely be back.

The last couple of Friday's the pizza was a little dry. So, this past Friday, we ordered the X-large build your own, which included 3 toppings. We usually only add one topping and half of another on the pizza. In the comments, I asked if we could get a little extra sauce with a question mark. While I was driving to pick up the order, I saw an additional charge pop up for $1 that said customer requested. When I walked up to pick up my order, I asked about the charge. She said it was for the extra sauce. I asked if extra sauce would be counted as one of the 3 toppings and she said it wouldn't and a charge for extra sauce is automatically charged in their system. I said it seemed it would be covered by a topping, but ok. As I was walking out, I saw the owner walk up to the checkout person and I heard her say, "he's just mad we charged for extra sauce." I didn't appreciate that being said because I didn't raise my voice or do anything other than ask and say I thought the extra sauce should be covered since I was charged for a 3 topping pizza. I wasn't rude and I didn't use a negative tone. Overall, this was disappointing for a business we frequent. I'll know next time about extra sauce.

When I was seated the hostess asked if we wanted to sit close to the music and we enthusiastically agreed. However, I was a little worried at first because it was a one man show. But with the first song he sang I realized he was talented beyond most restaurant singers I have found. By song 2, I was singing along, and by song 3, everyone was having a good time. The food matched the quality of the music. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich. Cindy V ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo. Both dishes were delicious! Making them even more delicious is the fact at how affordable this place is, in fact, for less than $11 I had a sandwich so big, I took half of it home. So if you are looking for some great quality Italian food, accompanied by some great entertainment, I am going to suggest you give this place a try! Review #2157

They have valet parking which is always nice when I am out with my wife. 2. Their location is easy to find one block from beltline and I-75. 3. The restaurant is cozy and felt authentic with Italian vibes. 4. Service was polite and engaging. Our waiter spoke excellent Italian. 5. We went for Pizza and were not disappointed. I love wood burning oven because I like the Burt edged crust . We also had chopped salad. Our guest couple had the calamari and shrimp appetizers that were very good too. They decided to have shared a pasta dish, carbonara that they raved about. Our drinks were standard beers. All in all and very nice meal that we are happy to recommend.

The restaurant has a more upscale feel without being stuffy, with a warm ambiance, attentive service, and plenty of nearby parking, which makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere struck a nice balance between casual and special occasion dining. My only complaint is the kids' menu. They offer kid-sized pasta options but surprisingly no kid-sized pizza at a pizza restaurant. It would be nice to have a smaller pizza option for little ones. Otherwise, a wonderful experience and definitely a place I'd return to.

The ambiance was very pleasant, with chandelier lighting. The place was spotlessly clean. While the music was easy listening, it did not really match an Itlalian restaurant, but I won't criticize them on that. For Dinner we ordered a Tortillini Alfredo and a Chicken Parmigiano. Both were freshly prepared and executed perfectly. I honestly intended on eating only half of my Chicken Parmigiano, but it was so good I could not stop myself from eating it. The rolls served with it were pretty amazing as well! My only concern is that on a Saturday night at 7:30 we were one of only 4 tables in the place. Seriously, food this good is something everyone should experience, so I am hoping my fellow local Yelpers will come out and give this place some well-earned business!
