I don't like to give negative reviews, especially for local business and we really wanted to like this place. BUT we just don't see any positives in this restaurant. The bread was meh - ours was slightly burnt and so crispy it was inedible (talk about hard knocks), the lasagna was leaps and bounds the WORST we have ever tasted (so much oregano in this bizarre mixture stuffed in between 2 noodles, it was inedible), and there was hardly any sauce served on the baked ziti. We left feeling very underwhelmed, still hungry and disappointed in the cost given the price + added 3-5% for credit card usage. We won't be back sadly. read more

Pasta and pizza is phenomenal. My husband is originally from NY & is a extremely picky Italian eater, so this says A LOT!!!! Service is even better and ambiance is so homey. read more

Joined the Millie's fan club, today! Oh my goodness, everything was delicious and the service was fantastic! The garlic rolls that they brought while we perused the menu tasted like the one's my grandma used to make! My husband's baked ziti was fantastic and my Stromboli was definitely a dish I'll order again! Already looking forward to our next visit! What an awesome addition to our town read more

Millies Italian Restaurant - a sandwich with a side of ketchup - Pizza Near Me - Celina, Texas

This place is not exactly close from Little Elm/Frisco area, but worth the drive if you're looking for a quiet quaint Italian place with very good food and awesome service. The owner and staff are welcoming and very friendly. To be honest, the people make this place. We started with the stuffed mushrooms, calamari and mozzarella sticks. All very good. The pizza was decent as well. Would we return? Yes. Again, if you're up that way, stop in. read more

Great price and huge portions. Service was fast and attentive. But unfortunately, taste of food fell short. I got a pesto penne and the pesto was very creamy like an alfredo almost but didn't taste too much like anything. Will not be back. read more

Great food! Chicken festival my favorite blacken the chicken ! Very friendly staff! Beautiful family pics !

Food was bomb af, service was even better gonna be coming back for sure. The remodel of the place is very nice and welcoming.

Wanted to love it. First, the service...we ordered takeout and the service we received was excellent. Easy placing the order online and clear communication of when it would be ready. We opted to order a couple of pizzas to go vs dining in at seeing how high the prices of entrees were. To be expected these days and with a family of 5 it can be expensive. Pizza was reasonably priced so we ordered two. Upon arrival we were quickly greeted and our order was ready. Staff were nice and friendly and held the door open when we left. The restaurant itself wasn't crowded and seemed typical for most Italian places around here. Nothing fancy. For the pizza....it was below average. A few steps below Costco pizza and a step above school pizza. Nothing fancy. Nothing special. Crust, sauce, toppings were all just meh. Normally my family would have destroyed two large (not even all that large) pizzas but we have leftovers that will likely go uneaten. We will probably try eating in the restaurant sometime and trying the pasta dishes when we don't have the whole fam, but my expectations are low. Was excited for a new place in Celina. Bummed now though. read more

First time here at this new restaurant. We had high hopes that did not work out. The service was great but the food was weird. We ordered regular lasagna but got something unexpected. The layers of pasta were not layers. There was one noodle on top and one on the bottom. In between was some mixture of ricotta and some kind of ground meat. The taste was okay but it was not like any "lasagna" I ever had. It was more like a meatball that wasn't formed. The bread was shaped like a small cinnamon roll but not sweet. The garlic butter was tasty but the bread was uneventful. Maybe the pizza is better so if we come back, we'll give it a try. We have heard it is really good. read more

We tried Millie's for the first time and were extremely impressed. I ordered John's Lasagna and my husband had the Stromboli. We will definitely be back. You will not be disappointed, promise! read more

Service was excellent . A bit pricey for entrees but will go back again. Good to have another Italian restaurant choice read more

What a gem! This evening was our first visit and we will definitely return soon. The staff was so friendly and kind and the food was amazing! The meatballs were delicious. The parmesans (chicken and eggplant) were outstanding. The chocolate mousse cake was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. And the cherry on top was meeting Millie. We so enjoyed talking with her. read more

Best Italian food in my area! Everything I have tried is amazing! Their lunch specials can't be beat!

Great service and really enjoyed the food! Have been back multiple times. Chicken Alfredo 2 thumbs up!

Ambience is ok..my fettuccine Alfredo was egg noodles with what tasted like a jar alfredo..my husband's lasagna was ok. Service was fine...the dressings on our salads tasted like wishbone dressing.. read more

I really like this place! Pizza good house dressing good any pasta good. BTW I'm kidding everything is GREAT!

Ordered to go. Margherita pizza was not burned, but very brown and dry. Gluten Free pasta with meat sauce was very dry and lacking enough sauce. We had to drive back to get the salad that was missing. $41 down the drain. read more

Millies Italian Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Celina, Texas

WOW! What a disappointing lunch, I ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce. I tasted no oregano, garlic, spices, acid and no Italian, The sauce was very bland and tasted like a canned tomato sauce with hamburger meat added. The Spaghetti was so al dente that I could not wrap it around my fork. The rolls were tasteless and not the fluffy fresh Italian homemade yeast rolls. My next WOW was the processing fee I was charged to use my debit card. I only found out about it after my card was charged. My meal was take out, so this is my feedback to management. Sorry not a fan....... read more

Finally was able to try this place last weekend! Food was outstanding! We did the chicken frances and the Italian sampler. Some of the best Italian food we've had in the area. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly. We can't wait to go back! read more

The food is absolutely amazing. Everything tasted so fresh and beyond delicious. The menu is reasonably priced too. Everyone working there was very kind and sweet. read more

We were super excited to try this new place in Celina! Ordering for pickup in itself was quite the task. We tried ordering on 2 separate nights calling several times and no one picked up the phone. The third time we tried, someone picked up the phone and I asked to place an order for pickup and he stated that they closed the kitchen early because they had a rough day. On the 4th try, we finally were able to place an order for pickup. They stated the order would be ready in 30 min. We arrived at around 35 min and still had to wait another 10 min for the food. When we got to the car, we checked to see if we got everything because we ordered a lot of different things to try. Upon checking, our pizza box was empty- no pizza. Back inside we went to correct the mistake. Now to the food- pepperoni pizza was delicious. The wings were good- could have had more flavor. The garlic bread did not taste fresh. Spaghetti with meat sauce was great- perfect amount of sauce and seasoning. The fettuccine Alfredo lacked seasoning. The chicken parm was incredible, made to perfection. Overall decent experience. I would like to try more items but let's see how the calling and ordering thing works. read more

Honestly, I wanted to like the place... However, I'm afraid it's overrated and poorly operated. The food is better than average for the area, but in Celina that's not an accomplishment, it's more of a default situation because there's not much competition. The business hours, including how they change whenever they feel they've had a busy day, need some adjustments and consistency. Simple business etiquette, like answering the phones, lobby management, etc. also need some attention- I had to call this place at least 30 times to place a pickup order before I actually spoke to a human. An online ordering system would work wonders for this place- get one or contract w/ one until you figure it out because not having one is costing you business. Sorry if this is a dumpy review, but I genuinely want the place to succeed- they seemed like good folk when I picked up my order, but they'll likely slip into irrelevance as Celina grows and they're capable of much much more. read more

It was fine not what I was expecting. A little to heavy with sauce hard to tell what I ordered

Calamari looks like yellow rubber bands with pepper. It is not fresh so expect to be served frozen calamari with no breading. My husband said the lasagna had no taste. The garlic spinach had way too much garlic but I added it to my meatball sauce that had no flavor to try to improve. We will never return. read more

There is no ambience. The food is less than average. Definitely not what we expected at all. Calamari was freeze dried. Not fresh. Definitely not for foodies. For 3 more miles down the road, go to Eddie's. read more

Don't let this little back corner of a parking lot gem get away from you! Now, plan for a little wait if you are coming in around dinner time. From the bread knots to the rolls, all the way to the lasagna or chicken alfredo, it all was great! This is not some chain restaurant, but rather a small family business, one that we will definitely be back to dine at again. read more

5 stars are not enough. The many amazing reviews and ratings are not a fluke. The customer service, quality of the food and timeliness are all top shelf. Millie has greeted me as if I've known her for years. She is the kindest, most courteous owner of any restaurant I've ever been in. The interaction with her employees and customers is amazing. Thank you for opening in Celina=we appreciate you and your staff! read more
