There was a lot of parking available at 1:30 on a Tuesday and only a few customers were in the small dining area. Our server was friendly and helpful while my friend and I were trying to decide on which two pasta dishes to split. We decided on the lunch chicken Florentino and the chicken Sorrento. Both were outstanding!! We really appreciated that the kitchen split the dishes for us. A nice size salad and rolls, accompanied our dishes. I look forward to going back and trying more of their entrées. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Prespa's is your typical neighborhood Italian joint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You walk in and there is a small, fairly well lit dining area. To the right, in a larger and much darker dining area. That's our preferred spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is quick to tell you to grab a spot wherever and they are at your table before you know it with menus. The menu is exactly what you would expect. All of the pasta staples and some of their own house recipes and tweaks. The food is consistent for the most part. A couple of issues over the years, but nothing of concern. I live very close, so i have been here more times than I can count. Literally dozens and dozens of times. The mistakes are few and far between. They also do a lot of takeout, which we do regularly. The orders have always been correct. Also, if you dine in, it is BYOB. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, a solid neighborhood place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Who knows what a trattoria is? Family owned Prespa's Italian Restaurant is a classic neighborhood trattoria with pizzas, pastas and more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is a time warp.

Went during the week with a group of 6. We were seated right away. Pros: Service was great, attentive waitress. A lot of food options to choose from pizza, to calzone, to pasta dishes. A basket of rooms comes out before the meal. We chose to get some "pink sauce" which was tasty. I got the clam pasta with red sauce. No complaints here. Also they are a byob establishment. So you can bring your drink of choice to enjoy with your meal. Cons: The lighting was very dim. The light bulbs were colored and has Christmas lights hanging. Half of the group used their phone lights to read the menu. read more

Found Prespa's on Yelp after searching for lasagna take out. A Sunday evening take out of lasagna and an order of spaghetti w'/meat sauce. Not "tricked up" at all. Just good and hot dinners with ample portions, My spaghetti already had red sauce on the pasta then covered with meat sauce. Just like I would make it at home. We will be back!!! read more

Best calzone in town. The meat balls and Italian sausage were delicious. The shrimp was perfect. The bread was good. The chicken parm sub was not breaded and had boring flavor. That's why I don't give a 5, that parm sub could be better considering how good everything else was. The staff was incredibly nice and knowledgeable. And the cake was pretty good too. read more

I thought I had the scope on the best Italian restaurant. But let me tell you about this Jem. I found something special only a few miles from my house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was excellent, everyone was so nice and made you feel like they were there for you. And the food, OMG. RARELY do I find food sitting in front of me that looks like the picture. You'all know what I mean. Well, just take a look at my pictures. The food was beautiful and delicious. The smell of the freshness, the taste of herbs/spices. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Loved everything about it. My family and I will be back. I can't wait to try another dish. And anytime I don't want to cook we will be having this. There are so many things on the menu to choose from. To you the cook and the server I salute you. read more

Prespa's Italian Restaurant - Pizza - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Decided to try a pizza from our normal fav so ordered veggie pizza and salad takeout from Prespa's. Surprised to discover Prespa's charged our credit card 2 times and we are in agreement $85.17 is way too much money to pay for a takeout pizza and salad. Have called Prespa's every day asking for credit for Prespa's overcharge. Every call, hostess says the Owner is fully aware of the situation and "she will call you back tonight." Fast forward a full week, no calls back and no credit on credit card. I do not recommend paying $85.17 for Prespa's pizza. read more

Dined in here today during lunch, and had the chicken piccata, which was absolutely outstanding! It was clear that they do indeed make their pasta in-house, and it kept me wanting more and more. Their garlic bread appetizer was great too! Can't wait to try them again in the near future. read more

First timer this past week... what a fabulous little gem! Hidden in the back of a strip center but found on maps so decided to give it a try and we are glad we did. Had the Chicken Aristocrat, Baked Ziti, Italian Sausage side order, and their wonderful bread with a side of Alfredo Sauce. Everything was delicious and service was with a smile! Two dining rooms to choose from and the ambiance made us feel like home. read more

Three stars only because the service was so very good. I had the chicken Parmesan and it was the most boring meal. I think I've ever had the tasteless cardboard chicken had no flavor. The whole thing was just buried in half a gallon. It seemed of a pasta sauce that I think they call it their marinara, but everything was drowned. Don't plan on going back. I've been several times, but that was the straw that broke the camels back. read more

This must be one of Arlington's best kept secrets. Had my first meal (lunch) there today with friends. My chicken aristocrat left nothing to be desired. Everything from ambiance, menu, prices, service and quality of food was very good. I'm looking forward to another visit soon. Dave read more

We eat there after church every couple months and the food is always very good. Last Sunday we had 7 in our group and everyone ordered something different and all said it was very good. They have two sections but one is very dark and done of our party wanted to go in the dark room and one large party came in after us and that was the only place they had so they left. read more

Pizzas and salads are off the charts. Delicious! Every single time. Mmmm Mmmmm good.

It was my partner and I's first time here and we absolutely LOVE it. The food and the service was good. We went based on the reviews on Yelp and we're so glad to trust them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's unfortunate that we were the only customers in the restaurant despite it being around lunch rush.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's definitely a hidden gem that more folks need to try! The food has ton and flavor and the price is very decently price. The only downside is that we wished they gave us the freshly baked bread! read more

We ate here for the first time Tuesday night after good reviews and recommendations from a social media group I follow. Well, firstly, the decor and the 2 dining areas are really kind of strange. One was small but well lit and the "larger" dining area was very dark, cave like, with mini colored strands of lights outlining the walls. We tried to keep an open mind and decided to still try it out. The service was excellent but the food was not very good. My hubby ordered the Calzone and added some extra ingredients. It looked beautiful on the plate and tasted ok but the Italian sausage it was made with tasted more like very mild tasting breakfast sausage...very disappointing, I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana and the presentation was very nice. My first couple bites were ok but after the third and fourth bite the eggplant was mushy. It was almost like eating mashed potatoes. I just couldn't eat it. The sauce tasted ok, it leans to the sweet side. So overall, here are my personal ratings: service = excellent ambiance = dated and dark (strange) food = so so price = too expensive for low quality To top it all off, they added a 3% fee on the ticket in addition to the tax if you used a charge or debit card to pay. So for 2 of us for 2 entries and 2 sodas was around $40 plus a tip. Maybe we hit it on a bad night or something but we definitely won't be going back. read more

Really wanted to love this place. Recommended by a friend. To start off the price for the amount of food is reasonable. The chicken Alfredo was good. The chicken parmigiana however was not. The chicken was very tough and rubbery. It was sadly inedible. The bread was also off. It was dry like maybe the dough was frozen first. Idk.. maybe they were having a off night. I may try again but would not reorder the chicken parm very disappointing. read more
