Great little italian spot next to the canals. Great vibes and location. Really great date spot. We shared a pizza and they let us do half and half with different flavors. Would definitely come back. Perfect spot to grab a walk around the canals or lake before or after dinner. Service was attentive and friendly. We got half the philly cheesesteak and half the vodka pizza. They were both good. The vodka one is just cheese pizza with vodka sauce. The bread they served was not great.

Short Rib Pappardelle

Everything was great, especially Cafe Focaccia and its tomato sauce. However, the short rib pappardelle was a little salty and I am not sure my boyfriend and I like it. Other than that, we had a nice little date. We came here because I had a 10k the next morning and we tried to have a carb loaded meal and this is a great meal for that!

We had excellent service on the busy July 3rd and July 4th holiday. We met some friends there before the fireworks how on the 3rd. Amazingly, they had great service and great food. We were staying at the Omni and they did have great food options for dinner. We ended up going back for a 2nd night in a row. The food and service were great again. We will definitely go back again.

The food was fine, nothing special as far as Italian food goes. Maybe the pizza is better. The service was kind though and they're able to accommodate bigger groups.

Calzone

A cute place for lunch . Went with a friend and got the calzone - they allow you to build it the way you want and I got the feta cheese , onion and mozzarella, with tomato sauce . It was excellent !! I will come back to try some nugget items

Just moved to Dallas the last two years and I cannot find a pizzaria that comes close to NJ/NY pizzas. A buddy from NJ recommended this location. Who would had thought they have a section of the restaurant to look like a typical pizzaria in NY. The first time I've tried this, the wife surprised me with a pepperoni and mushroom pizza that she picked up while out. It was good. We then eventually came to the place to try it out at the restaurant and the pizza still didn't disappoint. Service was good. Food came out fast. Ambiance is nice as it was a nice day out and there's outdoor sitting. If we live closer, this will always be my go to place. If you like NY style pizza, don't skip on this place.

Good service, nice ambiance in terms of decor and design, food was okay. Spaghetti better than the Chief of Staff's pizza but do note that we're originally from Chicago. High pizza standards. Like all area restaurants, it seemed a little overpriced for the quality but the main problem I had was we were eating on the nice outdoor patio and seated not that near a small group of loud, foul-mouthed not that young women who were too intoxicated and ill-mannered to be allowed to misbehave so long. There were children in families also near by, and yes I'm an old fashioned old man, but I still don't expect to be subjected to this sort of boorish disturbance over lunch.

Chicken Parmigiano
Sonu J.

Italian Cafe is our New go to place for sure, we ordered Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti, Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich, Chicken Marsala and Ravioli fritti, every dish was beautifully placed, delicious and quality ingredients. The staff was respectful and polite. Attaching couple photos. What else does a customer want? Quality food, ambiance, taste and a good time!

Vegetarian Pizza, Salad My family is pretty carnivorous, but this is the one place we will make a huge exception. The vegetarian pizza is incredible!!!!! We get the XL and my parents can devour it in one sitting on their own. Salad was solid. Cute place in Las Colinas

Custom Build Your Own Pizza 18"

I ordered a custom 18-inch pizza with Alfredo sauce and chicken--amazing! The Hispanic gentleman wearing a SOX hat was very kind and attentive with my order. Outstanding professional customer service skills

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.

My first experience here wasn't the best, so I was curious to see how a second visit would compare…read more A friend was moving out of town and wanted to come here, so I decided to give it another try and order completely different dishes. We started with the focaccia bread (5/5). Wow--this might be some of the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the dip was delicious. I usually try not to fill up on bread before the entrées arrive, but we made sure to finish every bite. We also ordered the burrata salad (5/5), which was a very generous portion and absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again. For our entrées, my friend and I shared the chicken piccata and the bolognese. The chicken piccata was a 5/5 for me, while the bolognese was a 4.5/5. Both dishes were excellent and I'd happily order either again. This visit was a completely different experience from my first one, and I'm glad I came back. I'd love to return with my husband sometime.

I don't know how to describe this place. It's weird. I've been here maybe 5 times over the past 6…read moremonths. First off, the food is excellent. AMAZING actually. I've never had anything that wasn't perfectly prepared, flavorful, and served the correct temperature. And that's what really matters in a restaurant, of course. But the vibe is odd. I can't put my finger on it. It's "clique-y". Every time I come, I walk into an empty restaurant with no host. And it seems I've walked in before they opened. They have lots of private events which are walled off with weird partitions. And they sometimes (according to others I overheard) completely close down for private parties. I don't ask for much. I require very little attention. I grossly over tip. And, yet still I feel very unwelcome in this restaurant that I have frequented several times. I don't get it. The other customers were very nice to me, but the staff seemed annoyed by my presence. It's bizarre. Anyway, the food alone earns them a top rating. Pro tip: Do NOT sit at the bar. They don't tell you this: but it's for the regulars. You'll feel like you've wandered into a party you weren't invited to. AND.....order the Prince Edward Island mussels!

The owner of the restaurant took our order and offered good suggestions. He raved about their Tiramisu and we wanted to try if for dessert. The starters we tried were well seasoned and flavorful. The pasta bowls come with breadsticks and is perfect for one. The bowls are not shareable but the flavors were excellent. Do try the tiramisu for dessert. It is highly recommended. Plenty of parking available in the strip mall. The restaurant offers beer, wines and cocktails with a full bar service. Pricing: Not an inexpensive restaurant but it's worth the money you pay. Will I return? : For sure!

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
