Folks, do not walk...RUN to Politano's in Irving, this mom-n-pop Italian, run by two actual Italian brothers, is Fantastic with a capital F. 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. read more

I was craving homemade pasta. Ordered the shrimp scampi pasta to go. I also had the cheese bread because why not. There was a 2nd long piece under that the top piece. Everything was good and I was given plenty, enough for two people for sure. The guy at the counter was very pleasant. I'll definitely be trying other things. read more

What a small hidden gem! We were in town just for an evening and this place was a mile from our hotel, so we decided to give it a try. What a great decision! The food was fresh and delicious. The side salad that can be added to the meal for a few dollars is decent sized. The cheese used in the meals is so flavorful. The portobello ravioli with garlic Parmesan sauce was outstanding. Since the place is small, the service was friendly and prompt. It was obvious that several customers were locals who visit frequently, which testifies to their quality. The prices were reasonable when compared with other sit down restaurants. I don't know if we will ever be back in town to eat here again, but are so glad that we chose Politano's tonight! read more

We had a party of 11 people who were seated at the last minute. Service was excellent, food was even better. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is on the smaller size. They have about 5 booths and 5 tables and chairs in the front[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The service was very good. The food was amazing! I had the shrimp linguini with a salad and the bread knots that they serve with your meal. My friend had the lasagna with salad and bread. The food was super awesome!!! I suggest if you're in the area you have to eat here. I can't wait to come back and try their pizza!! read more

This review is for our pick up order. The food was ready on time and well packaged. The baked ziti and Spaghettini with pink sauce were both delicious. The grilled chicken, however,vwas super dry and chewy. Servings were big and price was reasonable. read more

Update as of November. Not only is my order wrong, this food is not fresh at all. Chicken is dry and tough. Spicy vidka rigatoni sauce is flavorless and not spicy at all. Literally delivered me food thats not fresh. I ordered it on uber eats and not even ten minutes it's delivered? I see why. Disgusting read more

Decently good food, at a pretty good price. They have lunch specials every day between 11am and 4pm and the specials are quite budget friendly. I got the 10" pizza with three toppings which includes a drink for $11.99. It wasn't the best pizza I ever had, but it was good. The calamari was also tasty. My friend got the shrimp scampi and that was pretty decent. The shrimp had good flavor. Service was good as well. The lady came by several times to check on us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, note that we were the only ones in the store that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, would come back because of the good lunch specials that they have every day of the week. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a couple of booths and tables inside. It's not a super large space, so not ideal for big groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. It's inside a little plaza. read more

Starting off strong--the lunch value here is OFF THE CHARTS. The portions are massive, and honestly, two hungry people could split a single entrée and still leave full. The stromboli? An absolute beast. I swear, this thing could've fed a small family--easily 14 inches long and packed with cheesy, meaty goodness. We also ordered the lasagna lunch special, which came with rolls, a salad, and a soda (and the stromboli comes with a soda too--insane deal). Between the two? The lasagna won. But here's where things take a turn... DALLAS. WHY? Why does every pizza place insist on using those crappy, Domino's-style sausage turds (yes, I said it... pellets). PLEASE, for the love of all things meaty and Italian, use REAL Italian sausage--de-cased, sliced, whatever, I'll take anything but these weird meat pebbles. I will pay extra. I beg you. That said, the lasagna was actually great. Instead of a traditional stacked slice, it was a more "free-form" lasagna, with all the ingredients mixed and heated together in a dish. Different, but delicious. Service was solid, the portions are wild, and the prices are unbeatable. Fix the sausage situation, and we might be talking perfection. read more

Okay the pizza here?? Absolutely fire Great food, great service, great price. This place never misses!

Noni was our friendly server and our food was outstanding. I highly recommend this place.

The service and the food are amazingly good! We enjoyed the whole experience! The Shrimp Scampi is delicious! The calzones are absolutely impressive! Their Tiramisu and macchiato coffee was the perfect ending! We will be back and we will bring friends!! So so good!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The server was so pleasant and the place was quiet and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved it!! read more

"Politano's truly touched our hearts. They generously donated pizza to Clifton Early Childhood School for Teacher Appreciation Week, and it meant so much to all of us. The teachers couldn't stop smiling -- or talking about how incredibly delicious the pizza was. Your kindness made us feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Thank you for making our week so special." read more

I've been in town a few weeks on business and I've ordered delivery from Politanos twice. Both times the food was very good and delivered quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Today I decided to check out the restaurant. It's not fancy but very clean, unhurried, relatively quiet...just nice and relaxing after a long day[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The food feels fresh, from scratch. Really impressed for such an unassuming place. The servers were really kind and perfectly attentive. Definitely recommend. read more

We've been getting Politanos takeout at least twice a month for the last 1.5 years and usually rotate between their pasta dishes and pizza. Quality has significantly declined lately. The last few times it looked/tasted like our pizza wasn't fully cooked- toppings weren't roasted, cheese not fully melted and still doughy. I love the Politanos Spaghetti Special and usually add mozzarella and/or grilled chicken. Lately the sauce has become very watery and portions seem smaller. I'm really disappointed and hope they can turn things around. read more

Great food, pizza is a must, and the marinara pasta eas good. Desserts is definitely a try from cannoli to the tiramisu!

I've been here 2ce: one dinner to go and one lunch. I work close to Politano's and live chatting with Reka while waiting on my food. If you want fresh Italian, not corporate: come here!! read more

We loved the entrees we had and ordered pizza to go for dinner the next night. Amazing food and the people were so friendly and helpful!

This place is delicious! We got a regular pizza, a ricotta pizza and a sausage pepper pizza! All had great flavor. The service was pretty good and the employees were absolutely nice. We came about 40 minutes before closing so we ordered to go. They were cleaning around but definitely mindful of us and even engaged in conversation. It was great! 10/10 read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the warm cozy feel of this restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu has a large variety of traditional Italian dishes and a few non traditional dishes as well. Service was absolutely great. The servers were very attentive. We received our food promptly after ordering. The wait was minimal. The prices were very reasonable. The food was hot and fresh. If you are in the area it's a good place to visit. read more

Sorry, the staff were really nice and it's hard to do a review with good service s 3 stars for that but the food is not great :(. The pasta in lemon sauce was bad. It didn't taste any lemon sauce at all and even with capers on them, there's no tart taste. The salmon with it wasn't fresh at all and we ended up not eating the rest of it after 1 bite. My husband who eats everything did not it at all. The bolognese was not bad and I ended up sharing the plate so I will have something to eat. Calamari was gooey and not crispy :( read more

Our go to takeout place for pastas! My kids love it and the pastas are not too grease. I love their garlic knots.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We ate here for the first time about a month ago for lunch on a Thursday and it was pretty busy which was a good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were quickly seated and browsed the menu. We received fresh, soft rolls with marinara which was good. I ordered spaghetti & meatballs and my wife ordered lobster ravioli both of which were EXCELLENT. Both meals also came with a side salad. We will definitely be going back. read more

Love trying new things in Texas when I visit, but this was by far one of the biggest hits. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing service, very Italian, homey and calm and clean ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Received the food in great time. I got the fettuccine Alfredo which was by far the best Alfredo I've had in my lifetime. My boyfriend got a medium pizza which was quite large and also quite delicious and perfect. Definitely order the cheesy garlic bread entre when you visit as well. It was an over all 10/10 for me. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic little place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Having lived in NYC for many years, I knew the pizza would be great the moment I saw the oregano shaker on the table! The pizza was delicious, but the lobster ravioli was next level. read more

The food was great, we ordered goat cheese pizza and it did not disappoint. The cashier was very kind and well spoken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was good as well, i had a pickup so the small time i was there i like the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I don't leave food reviews but I'm definitely leaving one today! I ordered the Fettuccine Carbonara with chicken and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was well seasoned. Pasta and sauce was amazing and the portion was larger than expected. Save room for their garlic bread and rolls with the marinara because it's so good. Let me also add that my order was take-out and everything was HOT and FRESH! Even after a 10 minute drive home our food was still hot. Politano's deserves 10 stars!! Thank you for the great meal after a long day. read more

This is a great place to satisfy your neapolitan pizza cravings. My husband & I tried the goat cheese pizza & a meat lovers pizza. Both tasted great! Will come again to try other pizzas & try their pasta or other entrees. read more

I'll start by mentioning that Politano's pizza is superb! When I'm craving pizza Politano's comes to mind immediately. The service has been great the times both for takeout and eating in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant it self has a nice vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We dropped into Politano's for lunch yesterday and had some great food for very reasonable prices. The lunch special was only $11 for a huge calzone that I took home and ate again for lunch today (which was also still very good). I was sat quickly and after a short wait, our orders were taken. They were busy and for good reason - it's hard to find such good food with great lunch specials. It is a little confusing on whether you're supposed to order at the counter or be seated, but it seems you can go either way and still be fed. Looking forward to coming back! read more

I was craving some creamy fettuccine Alfredo and wanted to give this restaurant a try. The male employee was very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. I chose the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and the mozzarella sticks appetizer. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. The mozzarella sticks were your standard sticks- yummy marinara sauce. The entree was a little disappointing, unfortunately. There was more butter than Alfredo sauce, so it didn't really taste like the typical version. The shrimp was cooked well, thankfully. Will I return? Yes- I want to try their pizza since the reviews are so high. Plus, I like supporting locally owned businesses. read more

Decided to give this neighborhood spot a try and wow! This is a cute little Italian spot and the service was friendly. There is a great variety on the menu and everything was overall delicious. What we ordered: Fettuccine Carbonara 3.5/5 - we usually don't order pasta, but this looked good. The pasta was al dente and fresh. The sauce was creamy, but not too heavy. I wish there was more bacon, since we only got tiny pieces. It was tasty, but wasn't amazing. Would love to try their other pastas next time. Ricotta Gourmet Pizza 5/5 - we added Italian sausage to this specialty pizza and it took it to the next level. This is one of our favorite pizzas we have ever had! The crust is perfect and the toppings are fresh. Super flavorful and is nicely cooked in the fire oven. Will definitely be back for the pizza! read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time, and typically with Italian places I will try the Lasagna or the Meatball Parmesan sandwich as a baseline for the quality of the restaurant. Today I had the Meatball Parm, and the quality of the bread, the meat, and the cheese was good, but the flavor was lacking. The sandwich itself was not really toasted quite enough for all the cheese to melt, the meatballs were good but not great, and the sauce was fair. The meatballs also easily fell out of the bottom of the sandwich which is kind of annoying when you're eating a meatball sub. The place is very nice and looks brand new. I was thinking to come back to try the Lasagna and the pizza, though the pizza is extremely expensive. It seems to me that they've inflated their pizza price because it's a popular dish, which bugs me, $15 for a personal pizza is excessive in my opinion. Service was good, and they re-toasted my sub with apologies, so they get an extra star for that. read more
