They have an extended area with a window viewing, great for large parties or scenic seating. The staff was very attentive. The restraunt was very clean and seemed to have a good steady customer crowd. The complimentary bread rolls were warm and doughy, perfect with the spreadable bread. The menu has quite the selection and at a very affordable price. It was hard to choose, to the point where our waiter had to give us more time twice! In the end, we opted to try the stromboli filled with mushrooms, pepperoni sausage, and mozzarella with marinara on the side. It was perfect, not overly breaded, easy to eat, and the marinara wasn't overly acidic! Thankfully, we decided to share because it was pretty large. We noticed many of the plates walking by came in large portions so this is as an FYI if you'd like to go family style. For dessert, we chose the creme brulee, which was the best, lightest sweetness to end the meal. We are happy to return and try more dishes!

It was nice and quiet plus felt romantic too. Since there were no kids running around or loud parties. And the music was not loud at all. Then we had dessert, tiramisu. It was real delicious. While we were eating it, we were reminiscing when we were back in Italy that it almost tasted the same as the one we had over there in a small hole in the wall restaurant. We told the manager about it and she appreciate our respond of the tiramisu. Most likely we will return back to Lambertis. And recommend to give them a try.

We chose to sit by the piano and I'm glad we did! We came on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy, we ordered the Mediterranean pizza and mushroom risotto and both were phenomenal. The atmosphere was great and our service was perfect, quick and accurate. We had to wait a bit for food but it was well worth it. Will definitely be back!

We came back here after a few years because I remembered how much I loved the puttanesca. I'm happy…read moreto say it's still just as delicious. What surprised us, however, was being charged $2 for a small cup of hot water with lemon. We were never informed that there would be a charge, nor was it mentioned when we requested it. In all our years of dining at restaurants, both locally and internationally--this is the first time we've ever been charged for hot water with lemon. We were also charged for an extra serving of rolls. Initially, I requested a roll without garlic, but the server explained that the rolls were already prepared with garlic butter, so we agreed to have them served. That was perfectly fine since my husband and son ate them. Later, after we had finished our pasta, the server offered another serving of rolls, he mentioned he has non garlic butter on them. We politely declined, but he said they were already prepared and would serve them anyway. Because of that, we assumed they were complimentary. We only realized when we received the bill that we had been charged for the additional rolls. While we still enjoyed the food, we believe these charges should have been clearly communicated beforehand so customers can make informed decisions and avoid unexpected surprises on the bill. I will remember this if I wanted another puttanesca next time :( From my previous 4 stars, I'll put it down to 3 because of those unacceptable charges

It is $12-$16 per entree, and better than Italian you've paid $40-$50 per entree for at much fancier places. Scout's honor. Complimentary garlic knots, and when you taste the accompanying red sauce that's your first indicator this is not an average Italian restaurant. Had a house salad with Ranch. This was the only 'standard' item of the meal. Entree, had the Creamy Mushroom Tortellini with Veggies ($3.25 addition, charred broccoli, tomatoes, extra mushrooms). You can get Alfredo or a creamy tomato sauce. I asked the owner's recommendation, he said creamy tomato, I went with that. Oh sweet mama.... C-H-E-F-S K-I-S-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could not fathom it would be a top tier of all time Italian dish. Totally not expecting, and totally blown out of the water. So much so, I told a buddy who lives 3 hours from Dallas, he & his kids could make a Saturday road trip just to eat a meal here & it would be worth it... I'm visiting from out of state (lived in DFW ten yrs prior), this was a fantastic surprise on the visit. If I'm back in DFW at any point, this will be on the extremely short list while visiting.

This restaurant offers both thin and deep dish style pizza. The aroma was amazing! The toppings were plentiful and fresh. We ordered the Mediterranean thin crust pizza, which had garlic, red onion, red and green peppers, and jalapeños. We really enjoyed the taste, but the crust was not crispy, which was a bummer. I will definitely try their deep dish style in the future.

Our standard order is a large three topping with pepperoni, real Italian sausage and onions. You've got to try onions as that touch of sweet helps with all the savory flavors. We always include a side salad with their homemade blue cheese dressing for a small charge $2.55! You've can also purchase their homemade salad dressings by the pint or quart. The pizza takes a minute to get made so the salad calms our appetite. I swear it's cheaper to get a glass of their house wine than to get a glass of tea so don't hesitate to order. This place is a definite bargain on many items. Now the pizza is just spectacular. The Italian sausage is the real thing that has been sliced from the links not the sausage "turds" you get with fast food pizza. The crust is perfectly yeasty and the thickness on the medium side. They also serve on a rack at the table to keep the crust fresh. Since we order a large it is a knife and fork pizza with the heavy cheese and toppings. Another favorite dish is their lasagna. I've lost count how many times I've ordered at the restaurant and to go. It comes with a choice of salad or minestrone soup. The soup is homemade and simply the best warming dish - a hug in a bowl loaded with veggies. Service is always friendly. The murals of Italian scenes and the wine bottles hanging from the ceiling add a fun touch. Just don't forget to try the pizza and you won't have regrets. One of the owners told me he has been eating that pizza twice a week for almost 50 years!
