The server explained that their vibe is meant to be like a dinner party with delicious homecooked food! With their small homey interior and friendly service, they definitely achieved this goal! We thought the appetizers were the star of the show. I would definitely recommend the sourdough focaccia, peppadew peppers, and squash blossoms. However, they have a rotating seasonal menu, so I can't wait to come back to try more dishes!

Shake off your jacket and take a break to help the cream of the crop restaurant, on University Drive and Ruddell Streets.

We made reservations. They probably were not needed for the night we were there, but I could see this place filling up quickly on some nights. The restaurant has a cozy retro vibe with MTV videos playing behind the bar and splashes of color throughout. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and the speed of the service was fantastic! Graffiti Pasta specializes in unique, delicious cocktails. There are no beers on tap (just cans), and my husband would have liked to have Peroni on tap even if that were the only choice. I enjoyed two of their cocktail which were both excellent. Our food was delicious and just the right amount of food. We left the restaurant satisfied without feeling like gluttons. Their stuffed mushrooms with filled with a creamy ricotta, the Banksy's Baked Ziti was delicious, and the homemade spaghetti was a special treat. I loved the build your own pasta options, And OMG at their rolls! SO good! Everything was wonderful and truly made for a great dining experience. It might have taken a while for us to find Graffiti Pasta...but we will definitely be back soon!

Carbs have never been this much fun…read more Graffiti Pasta is one of my favorite comfort food spots in Denton. The atmosphere is colorful, upbeat, and full of personality, making it just as fun as the food itself. The house-made pasta is absolutely worth the hype. You can taste the difference, and every bowl is fresh, flavorful, and the kind of meal that has you planning your next visit before you've finished this one. Great food, great vibes, and all the carbs your heart could ever want. What's not to love?

I've been going here nearly once a week since they opened up the store front about 4ish years ago…read more Next to Osteria il Muro, this is the absolute peak of food in Denton. Michael and the front of house staff are absolutely amazing, friendly, welcoming and extremely accommodating in any instance where there is a need for that. The food, like I mentioned, is absolutely top tier thanks to Chef Tony and his food crew. Absolute artists as chefs and the thing that makes you keep coming back as much as I have is the creativity and huge range of dishes that are constantly being rotated through week by week. Sadly for my love of this place and these people, I'm moving up to New York state so this may well be my last time here, but if there is ever a time I'm near Denton and this place is open, you bet I'll be heading here. This place absolutely deserves your attention and patronage as well as this 5 star review and all the praise I can possibly heap onto it. Please come here to eat some amazing food. Thank you to Michael and Tony as well as the rest of the staff I've gotten to know over the years!!

So glad they have non-marinara chicken parm options because the pesto sauce was great and the chicken was thigh, so super well-fried and moist. Husband and I split the burrata, which was also excellent! Burnt carrots were cooked perfectly and paired well with the honey glaze and ricotta. Daily special arancini was our least favorite but still really good, so hoping that some day we can come back and try their other specials and mainstays. People say the smash burger is elite. We would definitely be regulars if we lived closer!

Not much for atmosphere and the woman seating and serving at this late lunch time seemed a bit bothered to be there. The good news is that prices are very reasonable. The bad news is that the food was average at best. The manicotti was way overcooked, but since things had taken awhile to arrive and the woman serving didn't seem to care much, we just kept it. The shrimp diavolo was better with plenty of nice shrimp and well-prepared pasta. It was all absolutely swimming in the runny sauce, however. Needed a soup spoon to keep up with it. If this restaurant were in my neighborhood, we would go now and then, but it is a few miles away for us, so I see no reason to ever return.
