Hands down fantastic food. It's a very casual environment, wooden 4 chair tables throughout. Pretty close together, it's a very quaint, small location. You do order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. The pasta was a little overcooked but not too.much. if you like AL dente you should probably request that. The sauces were fantastic Chipotle cream sauce was amazing. I ate my whole plate! Comes with plain bread. Garlic bread is extra. I didn't have dessert too full. You will enjoy! read more

Disliked Didn't like * 2026-07-06 Had the spaghetti & meatballs. It was so blah. There was a lot of spaghetti noodles and 3 tiny meatballs that tasted like they had no seasoning, just cooked plain hamburger. Not even salt or pepper. And I ordered an extra meatball, should've saved the $3 extra I paid for that meat marble. There was maybe 1/3 - 1/2 cup of so-so sauce, not nearly enough for all the noodles and plain meatballs. The garlic bread had burnt edges and cold soft middles. Maybe their other dishes are more flavorful but I dont think I will return. read more

My daughter was feeling Italian and found this spot through Yelp. First impressions- Very small, quaint restaurant. Not much happening with the decor. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Only saw 1 person at the counter and she was very friendly but I was a little thrown when the kids drink that comes with the meal is fountain drinks only but there's no option for juices. All were sodas and the Fanta orange was not mixed right and tasted sour so we were forced to use tea. Definitely would suggest being able to get a lemonade bottle in place of sodas for kids or bringing in a juice option. Loved the complimentary bread that dipped well with the sauce of my Sorrento dish but I would certainly suggest a dipping sauce to go with the bread but it was still a nice touch. Our adult entrees were plentiful and full of flavor. I loved the capers and mushroom mix in my Sorrento dish. Shrimp portions are skimpy but for the price can't complain. We were a little disappointed with the portion received for the kids butter noodles. Thankfully our child loaded up on the bread. read more

This is truly a hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant--and an absolute gem. We regularly dine at Michelin-star restaurants, and this place genuinely holds its own where it matters most: flavor. The sauces are magnificent--rich, balanced, and clearly made with care. Every bite tastes intentional. The chipotle chicken pasta is outstanding, with a perfect blend of heat and depth, and the Pasta Nathan (seafood fettuccine) is exceptional--fresh, generous with seafood, and beautifully coated in sauce. Unpretentious, comforting, and seriously delicious. If you appreciate great food without the hype, this spot is a must. Highly recommended. read more

I read some great (and obviously over exaggerated) reviews so we headed out to Hailey's. No diet sodas were kind of the warning shot, in a way. No appetizers. More warning shots. No real choice of dressing for salad, only take out orders, staff playing cards ... all continued the now blaring warnings. The positives(ish): - the salad was crisp and fresh, and quite large for a side salad but the dressing was lumpy & sour - the chicken was cooked to perfection, well seasoned. In fact it was the best thing in the entire meal. However there was less than a third of a cup of chicken in each chicken Alfredo portion we ordered. - the pasta was dry, not fresh, but was well cooked The biggest negative was the Alfredo sauce it was thin and remarkably lacking in flavor. We were laughing by the end of dinner at the splash zone of sauce that was everywhere around us, no matter how hard we tried to avoid any mess. This is meal that was not worth the price, or the drive. The blaring Mexican music and the lack of any kind of creature comfort were the final nails in the coffin. I am leaving two stars one for the chicken and one simply because they sort of got some components nearly right. read more

Love this place! Their chicken cutlets are perfectly crispy! And the lemon butter caper sauce is to die for! Just wish they'd up their bread game. If the food came with a better quality bread or yummy garlic cheese bread I'd give 5-stars read more

I went based on the reviews, yeah no, idk if they had better chef's or better fresh ingredients but this tasted like the stuff you get off the shelf from the grocery. Highly disappointed. I had to go into my pantry and put salt pepper among other spices just to make the 40$ I spent on the order eatable. The staff was nice and friendly when I picked up, but definitely not 4.5 out of 5 . More like 1.5/5 read more

Hailey's was pretty tasty! I have seen this restaurant for some time but was hesitant about trying it and finally just bit the bullet and I think it was decent. My socks were not knocked off, but it was a nice sized meal and had some nice flavors. read more

I've visited this restaurant about 5-6 years ago and wrote a 3 star review that has disappeared. For some reason the oldest review here only goes back 3 years so I'm not sure if this business closed and then reopened? It's been here longer than that. The only reason I came back was due to the high reviews on Yelp currently showing 179 reviews with a 4.5 star average! I came for dinner a few nights ago and parked in front of Hailey's in the strip center parking lot. Inside it's a medium size one room restaurant with seats for about 30-35 people. Upon entering you are seated at a table by a waitress and presented a menu and then told to order at the counter when ready!? After looking at the menu and noticing many items from my previous visit by their name I chose the Pasta Nathan for $17 and added a side salad for another $5. They offer self serve fountain drinks along with a cooler of bottled soft drinks. I went to get my drink from the fountain and then grabbed some utensils and went back to my table., First to arrive was the salad and some complimentary bread. I must say the salad was very fresh with romaine lettuce, carrot strips, croutons and grated cheese with a vinaigrette dressing and it was very good (4). The entree followed in about 10 minutes and looked very attractive in its bowl. It had sautéed shrimp, mushrooms, diced tomatoes and spinach in a creamy lemon butter sauce over fettuccine. It also was very good taste wise and I appreciated the large shrimp. With the bread slices that creamy lemon butter sauce was delicious. This dish taste wise was a 4 too. To the negative: the dining room is uninspiring and it's counter service with a fountain drink dispenser that only serves soft drinks and pre made sweetened tea (yuk) and some bottle soft drinks available too. Also, I think the salad should be either less cost or complimentary with the entree. My dinner cost $26 and I felt it should have been less.? To the positive: the food was a 4. Even though I really liked the food I'm not in a rush to return. This restaurant needs to move to a more attractive location that gives it a better interior and consider becoming a table service establishment. Therefore I give a 3 score overall. read more

Our little kids were craving Italian food and we decided to give this place a shot. The girls working were very friendly. We ordered garlic bread, chicken Marsala, ravioli and a kids pizza. The pizza was good but the rest of the food tasted like a microwave dinner you can buy at the store. There was nothing great or unique about any of the dishes. read more

Hailey's Italian consistently comes up as a top option in the Cypress area when scrolling through Yelp. My wife and I love Italian food, so after moving to the area we were excited to give it a try. Upon arrival, we were immediately struck by how small the dining room was. You order at the counter and there are a handful of tables to choose from. The general feeling within the restaurant is crammed and somewhat awkward. They only serve fountain drinks or water, no wine or beer which for an Italian restaurant is as near an unforgiveable sin as possible in my opinion. The food was just okay. It wasn't inedible by any means, but was definitely generic and the quality of the ingredients felt questionable at best. For pasta dishes approaching $20, I would certainly have expected more. All in all, my biggest complaint is that the representation online gives the appearance that this is a quaint little Italian restaurant serving authentic Italian food. I certainly did not find either of those things to be true. At best this is a lunch spot, over charging for mediocre Italian food with store bought ingredients. If it's "the best Italian in Cypress" as many reviews have claimed, it's says much more about the lack of quality options in Cypress than anything else. read more

if I could give it 6 stars I would because the food is that good. I walked into minchos right next door but I decided to eat at the Italian restaurant next door. I tried it and the environment was very nice just a comfortable spot to eat and the service was amazing the lady at the counter had great communication and everything about it screamed amazing restaurant. read more

Disappointed with our meal, small protein portions, mostly pasta and the sauces were all very thin. The asparagus and bell peppers in my dish was crunchy, it was not cooked enough. The entrees do not come with a side salad. You get a basket of sliced dry bread for the table. Garlic bread and salads are extra. We spent $90. for four entrees and a drink. We were told to have a seat but order at the counter, you get your own drinks, flatware, red pepper flakes etc. The food wasn't bad it was just very mediocre, The restaurant was clean and relatively quiet for a Tuesday night. I would not return due to poor value. read more

Ordered from Door Dash. Food arrived piping hot! We ordered the Chicken Parm and Reyes Chipotle Pasta. The Chicken Parm was just okay. I think it would be better eaten at the restaurant when shelter in place is over. I find that is the case for anything fried and delivered. It just loses the crispness from the steam in the container. The real winner was the Reyes Chipotle pasta. It is very similar the one at Cheesecake Factory, but more flavorful. My husband said it is better than Cheesecake Factory and it is his favorite dish there. I can't wait to try other dishes when we are able to eat at restaurants again. It is right down the street from our neighborhood. Yay! read more

Hailey's Italian Restaurant - Reyes Chipotle Pasta - Italian Near Me - Cypress, Texas

i sat down, lady brought me a menu. then she told me to go to the cashiers desk to order and pay. This place understands zero about customer service. just was odd to me. hopefully they were just shorthanded that day because I can't see why you would bring someone a menu and then tell him to go order up front then why not just leave the menu attached to the desk upfront. The food was OK. It was nothing to write home about. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. i'm not sure I would ever stop there again. The restaurant was nothing fancy read more

Very poor service, super confused about the entire setup if i'm honest... There are tables and everything is 2-3 steps from host stand, 2 waiters but they demand you walk up to order food lol. Charge $4.99 for garlic bread which was literally frozen texas toast. Food was bland and subpar, surprised how this place stays open. read more

Oh me! Oh my! It has been a while since I've eaten Hailey's Italian. Why in the world did I wait this long?? Oh yeah. Covid. Well, it was time to go back. My husband and I ordered Chicken Marsala and Chicken Piccata and some garlic bread. Holy moly. The pasta was cooked to perfection--al dente, of course. The sauces were scrumptiously delicious. The chicken was tasty and moist. The bread was warm and buttery. I was pleasantly surprised at how out-of-this-world delicious our meals were given that we took them to go. We both cleaned our plates! Haileys is definitely a hidden gem! Can't wait to go back! read more

So, we decided to try out this place due to a high review score First hurdle...yelp shows a 10% discount code, activated it, girls at the counter had no clue about it and did not honor it, not their fault, but the owner should make this clear to their employees Wife had the shrimp alfredo, watery sauce, stinky shrimp.......dog enjoyed it Son had spaghetti and meatballs, frozen balls? Very little sauce which was jarred at best I had the chicken piccata, extremely small poultry tasting breast, no seasoning, hardly any sauce(jarred?) on my pasta Each meal came with two pieces of soft non toasted buttered garlic bread, soft cold and limp We also ordered the garlic bread appetizer, semi burnt around the edges Spent $60 on this fast food level meal, think Fazoli's Definitely not returning read more

This place has been on my ' Cypress to go list' for a couple of years and haven't done it yet so here we are tonight. They have really good reviews and they're local so we're excited to be here. So far, so good. Nice friendly person taking the orders, and curious how we heard of Hailey's. Yelp of course. Good reviews, actually great reviews, so I had to add my experience. We ordered chicken parmesan and chicken piccata. They do a decent door dash business and I kinda feel bad for eating in, but I am enjoying a night out with the boys, we 3 don't usually get this opportunity. Also, I am thoroughly enjoying the music. The food came out with soft fresh bread and garlic butter, the guys said it was good, but I was so into my chicken piccata that I didn't want to waste room on bread. The side of pasta was surprisingly great. Very good red sauce. But back to the piccata, cooked to perfection, just the perfect amount of capers and mushroomsvin a delicious buttery lemon sauce. When we come back, I will be hard pressed to order a different dish. The boys ordered their go to italian dishes, chicken parmesan. They too really liked it, and again the pasta they are completely. That's so not normal. Usually they'll eat the chicken parmesan and pick at the pasta side at other locations. I chose to eat all of my chicken piccata and a small amount of the pasta. I really suggest the piccata, and this little restaurant as a whole. No reason not to give it a full 5 star review. We'll be back. PS, we ordered some desserts to go, nutella cheesecake and traditional cheesecake. I'm pretty sure we got the chocolate mousse cake instead of the nutella, but after the first bite, it mattered not. It was epic. The portion size of the desserts were a little small IMO, bit fantastic read more

Ever since our favorite casual Italian place closed, we've been searching for a great place for pizza and Italian fare. Hailey's is fair. Here's the breakdown. Please consider turning the AC down about 5°. Hubs tried to convince us to leave 30 seconds after we got there because it was so hot and uncomfortable. Order at the counter. One of my new pet peeves. If a restaurant has this format it screams casual fast food to me, like McDonald's, Popeyes and CFA. I will not give you an advance 20% tip when you aren't even coming to the table to take my order. I'm also not going to order dessert in advance, which means I'll probably skip it. Food is pricey for the small portions. I don't have a huge appetite, and I could eat an entire pizza myself. Chicken parm was my choice this time and was decent. Pasta sauce was like ragú or other jar sauce; nothing special. We ordered garlic bread bc we were hungry, but it didn't even come until after we got our food. My girl had the kids pasta Alfredo--her entire meal was about a half cup of pasta. Overall, nothing special here that I can't make at home for half the price. $50 total--one kid's "meal" (i.e. half cup pasta and a soft drink $5 and change); 2 adult entrees, garlic bread (3 pc. For 4.25) and a coke. read more

Hailey's earns an overall 2.5 Stars, but half-stars aren't an option on Yelp. So I put 2-Stars since others have rated it too high and the food taste and prices are definitely not good enough to earn 4-stars. The restaurant is small but not in a quaint or romantic way. A bit cramped. The food was average. Nothing special. I love Italian food, so maybe I judge this place too harshly. read more

O.K. been there a couple of times before and always have good food. So we decided to support the local Business a bit more during this shutdown crisis.. We order spaghetti with meatballs, Chicken fettuccine, and one other dish, it was very easy and ready when we arrive to pickup the order. As always their food was good and never disappointed. Very tasty even after get it home from the restaurant. The food was still hot and good. Keep up the good work and we will be back soon. read more

Another place I wanted to love, but they just don't quite hit the mark. Thursday night early dinner with husband and our 4 year old. They hand you menus, and ask you to pick your seats, then come up to the counter to order and pay. For as few people were in the restaurant (only one other table), ordering at the counter shouldn't be a thing. You also get your own silverware, drinks, Parmesan cheese. The food was definitely good! I had the chicken Marsala, husband had the Reyes chipotle pasta, and the little one had a kids pepperoni pizza. All were good! Feedback: drink options stink. No regular (unsweet tea), and no alcohol. I wish it were at least BYOB and they could charge a flat fee for this. Sometimes mama needs a drink at dinner! Paying before, your tips are going to suffer. We don't know anything about the food, or service. It also deters from ordering dessert. Menu- maybe I missed it, but are there no appetizers? Other than a small salad? Again- at this price point, I would definitely enjoy an appetizer with our meal (and some wine). Atmosphere is lacking. Just very generic. At least some quiet background music would be nice. Overall my meal was really good, but I don't know that I would return because of all it seemed to be lacking. read more

I had ordered the Reyes pasta and a pizza, and the pasta was delicious I recommend y'all to try dipping the bread in the pasta sauce and for the pizza it's a decent size very thin it did tasted good, however they don't have ranch for the pizza. The girls who helped us were very nice I was a little shy to ask for extra bread but they were very cool about it. Overall the food was fresh and hot! The Restaurant was clean and the workers were nice. read more

Excellent! Though it's a simple order at the counter restaurant, the food is fantastic. Try the Pasta Nathan

I really, really wanted to love this place based on all the excellent reviews but unfortunately, it was a miss for me and my family. We ordered spaghetti and meatballs, pasta Verona, and pasta Piselli. Everything was just bland and the Alfredo sauce was very thin. I requested some lemon butter for the pasta Verona and that made it a little better. We ate it because we were hungry but we won't be going back. 2 stars because the service was good and the portion sizes were decent. read more

This place is amazing. My favorite dish is the Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti. The sauce was very good and the chicken was crispy but not dry at all. This place puts to shame some of the other Italian restaurants. We will definitely be coming back here. The workers were very nice and the place was spotless which is a great sign. Keep up the good work! read more

Blink and you may miss more than a quiet and quaint little gem; you'll miss a great meal. Tuck in a corner of a strip, we missed the eatery the first time we looked for it. The service is average- you order at the counter and serve your own drinks. That's ok in this day of post pandemic. The food is delicious. I ordered the chicken marsala and my wife ordered the chicken forza. Both meals were delicious. The pasta was fresh and cooked al dente- just soft enough to have the sauce cling to it like me on a roller-coaster of taste. My marsala sauce is just the right consistency as it did not run on my fork and needed no seasoning. My wife's chicken was cooked to perfection as she can cut it with her fork. We also shared a salad and it was so fresh it seemed like the garden is in the back. Don't overlook this little gem. The menu may be limited but that's so each dish can be made with precision quality of a high-end restaurant. Support our small businesses. read more
