Loveria Caffe is the definition of authentic Italian food. Everything they make is fresh and full of well balanced flavor. I have now been to Loveria twice, and both times they have served me some of the best pasta dishes I've had. I have tried the Lasagna alla Bolognese and the Pesto Pasta with Chicken. Both were INCREDIBLE. The Lasagna is by far the best I've ever had, and the Pesto is up their with the best I've had as well. The service and ownership is top of the line, and the ambiance is classy, while still making you feel at home. Loveria is a winner on all levels. If you live anywhere in the DFW area, this place is worth the drive. Also, the restaurant is kind of small, so if you're planning on coming with a big party I would suggest calling to make a reservation. read more

We dined at Loveria tonight. I called in advance to inquire if they had a corkage policy and they strongly discourage guests bringing in wines and corkage is $35/bottle. That's fine, but their wine list is not that impressive to discourage bringing in bottles. Ordered Bruschetta and brussels sprouts for appetizer. Bruschetta was good, but the brussels sprouts should be removed from the menu until they learn how to properly prepare them. They were hard, bitter tasting with no flavors or spices involved. The entrees took a long time to come out of the kitchen. The entrees were pretty good, but our service/waiter completely disappeared without checking back, so service suffered after that. Overall, just a disappointing experience at our local restaurant in Colleyville, TX. read more

Used to love this place, when it first opened. The food has never been the same, since Chef Michele, left. He made possibly the best Italian food, I've ever eaten. I've never had a mind blowing meal since, on recent visits, since he left. read more

We would love to give Loveria more stars, but we were really disappointed in the experience. First the good. The food and the ambience. The bread is soft and warm. The vegetarian bruschetta is perfectly balanced. The spaghetti pomodorro was like mom used to make. But it took us over two hours to have dinner. We had to order multiple times because our waitress didn't know the kitchen was out of certain items. No one apologized for being ignored and having to flag down any random employee to help us. And in case your wondering, we were not the only ones experiencing this chaos. We were so excited to come and would love for this to be our go-to Italian but the service has to improve. read more

We selected your restaurant given your Yelp reviews and were extremely disappointed. The service was very slow, such that we waited about 30 minutes for a cheese plate and were there over 2 hours and elected not to order our entree. For a Friday night, and for not being very busy at all, this was surprising. Your manager spent most of his time talking with one table and could care less about our experience even after we said it was our first time. You would think first impressions are important and the goal would be to earn repeat business. You claim to have an excellent wine list, however, no one could offer suggestions other than read off the menu and mention what other customers order. Given your price points, the expectations were at a much higher level. Your staff is very immature. We will not be back. read more

So glad we stopped here before going to a wedding for a drink and appetizer. Our waitress truly made the experience exceptional. She was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and just enjoyable to talk with. We had the bruschetta and she brought some complimentary bread with balsamic and olive oil. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming. Hopefully we will be able to come by again for more than just an appetizer next time we are in the area! read more

I had high hopes as a vegan coming here for a restaurant that accommodates everyone. We were the only table in the restaurant and somehow still had bad/slow service. My dish was $20 and it was 3 smaller than palm sized slices of eggplant, and the vegan "cheese" was not up to par in comparison to the vegan cheese options available today. read more

Something the Mid-Cities desperately needed was a boujee, refreshed Italian joint. There are so many small BYOB classic Italian places, I was legit worried the old flavors of Italy would all come here to die. Thank god, Loveria came in to prove me wrong. This fresh space with clean lines and pleasing colors serves updated Italian food that is imaginative and outside the box, yet true to the dishes they originally came from. The menu provides something for everyone and each dish is packed with it's own great flavor. Seriously, some amazing Italian food. The wait staff is friendly, knowledgeable and quick. However, be prepared to wait if you don't have a reservation (especially if you have a larger group). Space is limited, but this small space gives it an intimate feel, perfect for date night. read more

Solid four stars. Nice authentic Italian in a non descript movie theater shopping center. We enjoyed our entrees but the bruschetta was bland at best. Wine was excellent but pricey for a place with plastic table and chairs. Sort of an interesting mix of expensive dinner and wine in a somewhat lackluster building with pretty generic interior. We had a four top for two and it was two tables pushed together without white linens. Not that I needed white linen per se, but a place with $300 wine on the menu is somewhat incongruent with plastic outdoor tables. All that said, the meal was good. And even though the menu was far from exotic, we will come try the rest of it out. PS they use OpenTable. Take advantage. It's awesome. read more

This place had the absolute worst service and food I've had in Colleyville, except for maybe the McDonalds next door. Our waitress did as close to nothing as humanly possible, and my veal tasted like unseasoned, boiled chicken. When we complained the owner (woman) was extremely defensive and said that there's going to be a wait when they are busy... we were complaining that the food tasted like trash. Don't go here. read more

This was our 2nd visit to Loveria, wasn't much of a Wow factor the 1st time but someone in the our crowd likes it so we went again. We were very disappointed. I ordered the Ciopinno which was more like Marinara Soup with very little Seafood. Our Servers were friendly and helpful. The Ambiance was nice. When our bills arrived someone noticed the we were charged 10% Tax should have been 8.25%, staffers said it is figured through the POS, thats wrong. I was very disgusted when I left. read more

This Italian restaurant is a perfect gem! We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The home made bread is to die for! We tried many dishes on the menu since it was our first time and we found the food flavorful, interesting, really delicious. We can try things you are not used to have here. I wish we lived closer to be able to go more often. The owners are very hospitable and friendly. We had dinner inside to enjoy the beautiful dining room but there is also a nice patio. We highly recommend! read more

We love this place!! We had our 1st dine out experience last night at Loveria, after great disappointment with another restaurant that "offers a gluten free menu" without having gluten free pasta on their pasta dishes! After that discovery, we left and immediately went to Loveria where the service was exceptional, atmosphere was great and both of our meals were cooked & prepared to perfection! So glad to dine out again and will not stray from this perfect jewel again! read more

The perfect Italian place, right here in Colleyville. The food is authentic and delicious. The ambiance is perfect and the service ... just can't get any better! read more

Here for the second time to try out more Italian food options... Started off with the fried mozzarella- good with clean flavors. My husband ordered the gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce- light with flavors that do not over power the palate. I had the lasagna and cáprese salad- the lasagna is beautifully made with a bolognese style meat sauce. The caprese salad was perfect in every way. I asked for balsamic to add to it, bellísimo! read more

Always good Always Authentic. Food is consistent and service is great! The lasagna is the best I've ever had!

Yesterday, our neighbors invited us to an "authentic" Italian restaurant. Experience has taught me that the words "authentic" followed by any "Proper Noun" should not be allowed to live in the same sentence, at least where my wife and I tend to dine. Just because the staff may be wearing sombreros or French berets, does not mean you will soon be enjoying original Mexican or French cuisine. So, we accepted the invite with, shall we say, appropriate levels of expectation. Just ten minutes from our home in Southlake we arrived at our destination, Loveria Caffè. My preconceived thoughts were that this was going to be someplace that had more of an Italian Cafe feel to it, hopefully, steeped in the aromas of roasting coffee beans. Instead, inside of the entrance was a bright red Vespa, the likes of which typically are found, in swarms, marauding the streets of Rome. So, I'm thinking that's a nice touch, but still a long way from "authentic." My wife and I are pointed to our table by friendly staff where our friends greet us and we settle in for a Sunday dinner. Our waitress is very polite and accommodating, but I see through her valiant attempts at "R" rolling with little effort. Next, I begin to inspect the menu. Hmm, Antipasti, Insalate, Primi, Scondi, Bamini, Contorni, Vino, Doci. Ok, someone knows how to use Google Translate, I'm kinda impressed. Next, we start out with a little Bruschetta Mista and Mozzarella Fritta, the later, I'm kinda think'n is a little Americanized, kinda like Domino's Pizza. The cameriera let us test a couple different wines and we settled on a bottle of Barberani Foresco, a nice and soft red that favors fruit and spices, to kick things off. At this point, the waitress suggested that we try the chef's Lasagna special, straight from his grandmother's kitchen, near the Adriatic Sea in a little city called Ravenna. Well, I had heard enough. It was time to knock the dew off the lily and see if this place was legit. "Mama can't be wrong," I told the waitress, "I'll have the lasagna." The telling. The Bruschetta...mama Mia! Instantly, I was transported back to a little village near Rocca di Papa, that last time I had occasion to enjoy such "authentic" Italian food. Shortly, Mama's Lasagna followed. The pasta...cooked to perfection. Mama's secret sauce, fantastico! After the meal, Chef Michele came to our table and spoke with us. By then, his family was being served their dinner, at the table across from ours. It is ALWAYS a good sign when you see the chef's family eating dinner where the customer's meals are prepared. Just in case you haven't got the message, I am fawning over this restaurant. If I had the authority, I would give Loveria Caffè it's first Michelin star, tonight. LoveriaCaffe.com Buon Appetito!

Loveria is in the same parking lot as the movie theater but on the side facing the theater, not the highway so you will not likely see this place if your driving past but it's very easy to spot once your in the parking lot. We went right before Covid with a group of 7 women for a moms night out. We ordered several dishes and all shared the food (ahhh, pre covid fun) All the food was tasty and we enjoyed it all, we all felt we would come back but i do think my husband would leave a bit hungry, the serving sizes could be a little bigger for the price or perhaps free bread. I will go back with my girlfriends once covid is over to try more of their dishes but not a place id bring hungry teens/husbands read more

We frequent this restaurant a few times a month and the food is always good. With three or four people regularly dining at Loveria, as a group we have never had a bad meal. Their wine list is good, no hard liquor, and their wait staff does a good job with their service. read more

Excellent food, ambience and service. Very authentic taste. Fresh food. I'm a vegetarian. Lotsa options there for me. read more

As an Italian-American, I KNOW Italian food. Loveria is in a great location in Colleyville. The atmosphere is very inviting and EVERYTHING (light fixtures, furniture, etc) is imported from Italy. All the food is fresh and from local sources and the pasta is homemade. I had the lasagna. It was just as good if not better than my Uncle Al's back in NYC. My youngest son completely finished his dish, which was pretty generous for a 4 year old! The desserts (yes, we ordered one of each) were excellent! Their menu tonight was a scaled down soft opening version so I managed to taste most of the items. Simply outstanding! Keep in mind that the owners are from Northern Italy; their Bolognese sauce and pesto are excellent! Looking forward to the full menu and we will be back many times over! read more

I absolutely love Loveria. It's definitely original and authentic Italian food. Going to the restaurant puts ma back in Italy. I absolutely recommend it read more

We have been to Loveria Caffe twice and the service was mediocre both times. The food was delicious , including the salad, appetizers and main course. The location is nice with plenty of windows for light. Perhaps, more mature, experienced waiters would improve the experience. read more

This place is great! Very nicely designed (refreshing actually) with a small patio seating perfect on those breezy cool, yet rare, Texas evenings. The staff is so sweet and you can tell they have great respect for there work. Owners are so friendly. Kid friendly. The food is amazing and again refreshing for the area! Few things I've enjoyed: Lasagna.... perfection Fried mozzarella (my name for it) was so good! Side: roasted veggies.. just what they are supposed to be :) I highly recommend! And I'm picky read more

I came here with my girlfriend looking for good Italian food. First hand from the outside we were actually already excited. It look very intimate, romantic and chill. As soon as we open the door the excitement began to slowly diminish. The ambience as nice but really loud. The space is relatively small but super comfortable I must say. Same with the menu. Easy to the eye, not complicated. My girlfriend order scallops and risotto. I order lobster ravioli. There were no excitement in the dishes whatsoever in my personal opinion. I rather have a chef boyardee ravioli and be definitely more satisfied. Way too al dente lack of flavor and I will dare to say the lobster was from a can. The risotto just ok. Now I MUST say they delicious selection of wine, A+. Staff is excellent. Super knowledgeable, prompt and friendly. Our server was epic and I wish I could remember his name but I don't. Quite frankly he made our experience outstanding! Overall and again this is just my very personal opinion. Food wise didn't work for us. Service, ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! I see good future in this place, however. Not so sure if we would try again in the near future. read more

I am really having difficulty seeing how people have given this place 5 stars! Food very generic at best. Authentic Italian food, no way. Pasta was just ok at best. Try Sprezza downtown, or Mille Libre downtown as well, not amazing either but much better Italian food. The cacio e pepe was average. The gnocchi with red sauce was better, but nothing to warrent 5 stars! Honestly I have made better fresh pasta at home. And finally we had the cannoli, again nothing to ride home about. I am from Chicago and have had lots of Italian food. This was no better than 3 stars. Now, I understand we are in the suburbs, but everyone really needs to rate restaurants appropriately. read more

The best little true Italian spot with the most welcoming atmosphere and staff! Truly a u unique experience in DFW. Order the gorgonzola gnocchi - it is second to none! The Pollo Caprese is simply to die for and the lasagne is not your average lasagne! Every time we come, we have the best experience! The generosity of the owners is unexpected and it makes such difference to feel their passion! Bravo! read more

Love, love this restaurant! The food is amazing and the service is always exceptional!! Unfortunately, we had the worst dining experience tonight! There was a large party with 5 adults and 7 children. The children were out of control. We talked to the server and the manager but unfortunately, I believe their hands were tied. (My perception). When you spend $350 for dinner, you would like to think you can have a nice dining experience. We love Loveria......but people, handle your children!!! read more

My wife and I have been coming here regularly since it opened. The food is always great. However, the last few times we've been, the service has been, I hate to say it, horrible. The last time we attended, we didn't get our drinks for about 15 or 20 minutes. Even after they brought the bread, we still didn't have water. Then when server brought water and drinks, it was only for half the table. We took some guests, and the server got both of their orders wrong. This creates an awkward situation where you have your hot food, and then the other people have nothing and server goes back to the kitchen and they start cooking two more entrées. It's just not a good experience. We don't get to have supper TOGETHER. What makes it even worse is that the manager/owner was sitting two tables over drinking wine with his friends and having a good time while we're having a bad time. No apologies. Nothing comped for the mistakes. And they added 20% gratuity because we had 6 people. Sadly, we won't be back again. We have recommended this place to about 50 people. Not anymore. read more

Meh. Wayyyy too expensive for the the portions and the taste. It's not awful or anything. I'm kinda surprised by the good reviews because everything tastes generic. I've had better. "I know you can be I overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed but can you ever just be "whelmed"?" Edit: received a message almost immediately. Very passive aggressive, basically said that I don't know good Italian food and that I'm cheap. I'm pretty sure shaming paying customers who give you a 3 star review (2 now) isn't good business. read more

Wow! What a great experience! This was our first visit after seeing it on Open Table. Everything was perfect! Our wait staff was friendly and the owner helped us find a delicious bottle of wine. We ordered lobster ravioli for our appetizer, then the sea bass and filet for 2nd course. We loved it! Highly recommend! read more

I knew I loved Italian food, I was just waiting for the right location to prove it to me! We dined on a Friday evening around 7:30pm. The owner greeted us at the door (Italian accent and all). We only had to wait about 10 minutes in a cozy little seating area upfront. Thus far we've tried the lemon chicken dish, the pesto dish, the tortellini dish, the lasagna and eggplant parmigiana dish. Mind you, these are not the exact titles of the entrees but you can find them based on the description provided. EVERY SINGLE ITEM WAS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB! Made fresh, full of authentic flavor and filling. Absolutely no complaints! (I've also tried the shrimp and asparagus risotto - not my favorite but I think it's just personal preference). I can't wait to visit again! I love the atmosphere and that everything is shipped from Italy. Authentic deliciousness! read more

I was so happy to see a new place in Colleyville, that is hip, fine dining and great service! The owner is Italian and will walk over and say hello to you and answer any questions you have. The service is amazing! You will never wait a second for anything!!! A unique feature is a small coffee bar area with a few sofas. I felt this was a super nice and unique idea. The food is to die for! I had the ragú and my son had the spaghetti. This is REAL legit Italian food!! NOT Americanized Italian food! Just amazing! This will certainly be on our regular list! read more

My wife and I come up to colleyville from Austin monthly to visit my parents and often struggle finding unique places to eat. No more! Loveria was easily the best meal I've had in the area and one of the best period. I lived in Boston for years, and the authenticity and quality of this restaurant rivals the best places in the north end. This will be our new go to spot for years to come. Be sure to try the cappelletti, spaghetti and lasagna. read more
