    Peach  Margarita
    Trevor L.

    Passing by on the road, you would think it's just another rustic bar with outdoor space. Not knowing it's an Italian restaurant! Overall experience was fairly good. Drink and food was enjoyable and the server I had was fun and vibrant---she gave spots to check out to have good time. Only Concern: The outdoor benches may need to be surfaced for sanitary reasons--I can't imagine how they are able to wipe/clean Parmesan cheese from the cracks of the table properly as my bench was dirty. I would visit again though! Lol

    Very fresh and tasty pizza. New York style thin buttery crust hint of garlic and loads of basil. Service was excellent fast and courteous well worth $24

    This was my second time here, but didn't get to leave a review last time because I had an issue with my Yelp acct. I had their lunch special Italian Marinara Pasta and I really enjoyed it! It came with garlic bread and salad or fries and garlic bread was yum! Service was great both times - really friendly staff. They had both inside and outside seating. Did a takeout the first time and sat outside the second time. I also got to try my friend's Alfredo pasta - soo delish and will get it the next time i go!

    Chicken Alfredo

    Stopped by on Thursday for dinner at Guillermo's. First time here, and checking in was confusing. Regardless, the wait for a party of 4 was 30 minutes which we were ok with waiting. There's a walk up bar with happy hour prices that don't end until 8pm which is awesome. For the price, I was surprised at how good the drinks were. When we were seated inside, we requested to be sat outside because of the bathroom smell. The inside was not pleasant, old and unappealing. Outside seating is lovely with lights and warmers for colder days. For food, we shared the chicken Alfredo and mixed greens salad. The salad was great. The chicken Alfredo was good but not hot. Our friends ordered the calzone which they enjoyed. Portions are large. Prices reasonable. Would love to return and try something else. The kitchen is understaffed so be prepared to wait a bit.

    Caesar pasta salad

    Driving by & all the papel picado caught our eye. There were signs for specials & $2/Modelo. However, when we asked our waitress about this there were no specials. Ugh. Service was good. I ordered a Caesar pasta salad and husband ordered a burger. Hubby enjoyed his hamburger. I hunted for the pasta in my pasta salad. It was fresh but call it what it is! We opted for outdoor seating & there was plenty. Lots of shade & nice vegetation to add to the atmosphere! If you are in the area, maybe check them out for pizza ...! It's a cute spot but just didn't hit our mark today.

    Menu.

    Food was ok and nothing to brag about. Portions are hearty. Bar service was slow and backed up. Expect to wait. Not a place that can handle crowds or a busy rush. Back room was warm and had gnats flying around. Not a great atmosphere.

    I love coming to this place. It's in a historic house so very quaint, & there's a nice outside patio. They have good happy hour options including drinks & appetizer's. The staff are always nice & food is yummy.

    This place has great pizza!!! I came by to try the pizza, as it came highly recommended. I ordered a cheese pizza with mushrooms, chicken, beef fajita, and spinach, and it was delicious. The pizza tasted fresh, and it was huge! The service was also great, and food didn't take long to come out. The restaurant looks unsuspecting from the outside, but it's a great spot. It was filled when I came in, and although it is on the older side, the ambiance is very lively. There is no parking since it is located downtown, but it looks like you might be able to find street parking nearby. Prices are very fair for portions and not bad at all. 10/10 would recommend. I love this spot for a good pizza night!

    First, thank you to Guillermo's for accommodating my large party of 12! My mom and I hosted an event here for Trinity University earlier this month and the restaurant management and staff were so easy to coordinate with. I filled out the reservation form on their website and that same day a manager called me to confirm the reservation and ask if I had any questions. When we arrived, our table was already ready, which was great! Our waitress did a phenomenal job taking care of every person. The majority of our group ordered the lunch specials. Great, big portions means you can take some home for later! I will say I miss the Pepperoni Ranch Salad - I didn't see it on the menu. Hope it makes a comeback sometime!

    First of all the restaurant is beautifully designed. The vintage photos of San Antonio are awesome. They take you back in time. Now let me get back to the food. I ordered the Calzone with peperoni, mushrooms and sausage. The ingredients tasted very fresh and very tasty. One of the best Calzones I've ever had. My wife ordered the shrimp scampi and she loved it. She took one bite and was hooked. The sauce is what made it the best. And to top it all off our waitress Karine was awesome. She was very attentive and made us feel at home. I highly recommend and we will definitely be back

    This was excellent…read more I added this to my list after seeing its outstanding reviews on Google and Yelp in case we had spare time on our business trip, being in San Antonio from Tampa - we had that extra time and ended up here and it's great that we did. I called ahead of time asking if they had availability for 6 guests at around 6 PM and they said that it shouldn't be a problem, but they can't guarantee that we'd be seated right away... sold! We arrived and while the set up the table, Charlene welcomed us to hang out at the bar. We were then greeted by Ben, who we came to find out was one of the owners of the restaurant. He spoke with us briefly as our table was being set up, welcoming us in. Within 3 minutes of coming in, they set up a table for us in the corner of the restaurant and had us seated. The place is small (not tiny) and even on a Wednesday at 6 PM, it was clearly a popular spot... we would continue to find out why that was the case. Forgive me, as I cannot remember our waitresses' name, but she was great. She handed us our menus and let us be as we needed a moment to make our decisions. The front of the menu tells the humble story of how the restaurant came to be - definitely worth a read while you are waiting. Our waitress came back and took our drink and food orders. At the same time, I asked if she could have Ben come over as we wanted to hear more about his story after reading the brief story on the front of the menu. He came over and talked to us for ~5 minutes telling us about how he ended up in the States after leaving his home and how the restaurant came to be - from that alone, my experience had already been elevated and I was even more excited for the remainder of the experience to come. The drinks arrived, followed by the food, which we ordered (mostly) solely on Ben's recommendations. Everything looked delicious and as we were told by Ben, it was all fresh, purchased that day from the market and cooked to order. We started with the fried mozzarella, which was unique to me, in that it had no marinara but instead, spicy honey and sesame seeds and was fried in beef tallow - it was great. I ordered the Chicken Parm, which had fresh mozzarella poured into it at the table - the mozzarella smelled (and tasted) AMAZING. The dish has select bites throughout it that had some spice to it - I'd say that the spice level was about a 3/10, coming from someone who doesn't have the highest spice tolerance. The flavor/satisfaction level? 10/10. Typically, I'm not a dessert guy, but because of how good the experience was up to this point, I had to indulge. I ordered the crème brûlée and was not disappointed. Good temperature, good, mild flavor and presentation. This experience was excellent. From the unsuspecting setting, the greeting, the noise level in the restaurant, the attentiveness of the servers, the presentation and flavor of the food, to the staff asking how everything was and holding the door for us as we left, this is an exemplary example of how hospitality/service should be done. Ben, hopefully you are extremely proud of the team you have put together and the establishment you have made over the past two years. Very well done and thank you for your hospitality. If we are ever in town again, this will DEFINITELY be a stop that we make. Cheers.

Not too hot, just that easy breeze rolling off the river like it's got nowhere else to be. I'm there with my daughter and family, and the world's walking by boats cruising, people laughing, a little chaos, a little charm... dinner and a show, no ticket required. Now the food real Italian food. Not the kind that just throws red sauce at you and hopes for the best. This is layered. Garlic that actually means something. Rich, buttery sauces clinging to perfectly cooked pasta like they're in a lifelong commitment. You taste herbs, you taste depth it's the kind of Italian food that makes you slow down mid-bite and just nod like, "Yeah... they got this right." Drinks? Smooth enough to keep ordering, strong enough to make you question your life choices in the best way. Service was dialed in. Nobody missing, nobody stressed just right there when you needed them, like they were reading your mind or watching you a little too closely... either way, it worked. And the atmosphere? That's where it gets dangerous. Because you sit there watching the River Walk roll by, the noise, the laughter, the movement... and suddenly two hours disappear. You're ordering dessert you didn't plan on, another drink you don't need, and nobody at the table's in a hurry to leave. I came for Italian food... ...and ended up staying for everything else.

Needed to be a tiny bit hotter but if I was a local I would absolutely be going there just to place a to go order for soup on the regular.

My grandmother,…read morethough Irish, lived with an Italian family from the age of twelve when her father lost everything they owned to gambling. The family that took her in taught my grandmother all about Italian cooking, some of which she passed down to her daughters. Her spaghetti sauce, which she called gravy, was the best. My mother's sauce was just as good. Therefore, we never ate spaghetti out because we knew it wouldn't be as good. Last night, I was hungry for Italian food. Spaghetti was far from my mind. However, a super two for one deal on Door Dash enticed me to order spaghetti with Italian sausage from Albi's Vite Italian Kitchen. It arrived in two foil pans with plastic domed lids. There was enough food in those two servings for me to eat four meals! When I took the lid off, I could not believe how many slices of Italian sausage were on top of the spaghetti. The marinara sauce looked kind of plain and simple but was surprisingly flavorful. I was able to eat a slice of sausage with every bite. That combined with the chunky tomato pieces in the sauce made for a very satisfying meal. Was it the best spaghetti I've ever had? No. Would I order it when I visit the restaurant in person? No. But it was good enough to make me ready to try other dishes on their menu. I think they will most likely blow me away. The reheated portion I had for lunch today was even better! The pasta absorbed a lot of the tomato flavor. I think my next batch will be fried in a tiny bit of butter the way my mother did it when she had leftovers.

As far as the food, we had the fried mozzarella, which was essentially a log of cheese deep-fried and served over sauce. It was delicious, but the cheese-to-crust ratio was a bit heavy. The Caesar salad looked better than it tasted. It was very wet, if that makes sense, and the lettuce seemed soggy. Now for the Wagyu ragu. This almost made me have a seizure, and not in a good way. It was extremely salty and completely inedible, so we had to send it back. The waitstaff was very accommodating and agreed that the salt level was way off, so we replaced it with the carbonara. I'm not sure if that's what authentic carbonara is supposed to taste like, but I did not enjoy it. It tasted burnt to me and had too much pepper. I also didn't care for the shape of the noodles. Last, we had the Americano pizza. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. I just think that if you're going to advertise a pizza with meat on it, there should be more than one piece of sausage per slice. As far as the service, our server was fine. Not particularly friendly, but straightforward and efficient. The manager (or another server) was helpful when it came to replacing our dish. Overall, I would not go back. The location is great and the vibe is nice, but the food was a miss. Save your money and go somewhere else.

The first night I was greeted by a friendly host and sat at the bar, where Billy took great care of me. He recommended the Cotto e Salsiccia, and I'm so glad he did. It was easily one of the best pizzas I've had. While I was there, the cheesemaker let me try a bite of the fresh mozzarella they were making in-house. It was still warm and absolutely delicious. The next night I was feeling a little homesick after being away for work, and all I could think about was that pizza. I walked back in and the host greeted me by name. I sat at the bar again, where another bartender remembered me from the night before, and Billy came over just to say hi. It seems like such a small thing, but when you're traveling alone, being welcomed back like that can completely change your evening. What really impressed me was seeing that it wasn't just me. The guy next to me ordered two pizzas to go, and when the chef brought them out he smiled and said, "Oh, Jose! I thought this order looked familiar!" You can tell they actually know their regulars and genuinely enjoy what they do. The second night I ordered the Fontina e Salsiccia, and somehow it was just as good as the first pizza. Everything is cooked in the wood-fired oven--even the wings--and you can taste the difference. The crust has that perfect char, the ingredients are fresh, and it's the kind of authentic Neapolitan pizza that keeps you thinking about it long after you've left. I've eaten at a lot of good restaurants while traveling, but very few have made me feel as welcome as Dough did. Great food is one thing. Great people are what made me come back the very next day.
