    Chicken Caesar Salad with Tomatoes
    Cynthia J.

    My flight at DFW airport was cancelled so I again ate Italian Kitchen (fresh tomato soup on the previous visit) and, was very satisfied with the Chicken Caesar Salad with Tomatoes added. There was no extra charge for the tomatoes and a slice of sourdough with butter. The salad was uber refresh with an ample amounts of lettuce, chicken, croutons, parmesan, tomatoes and ground pepper (to taste). I actually had enough salad left over to box up and take with me to eat later.

    Italian Meats Sandwich, terrific for an airport stop.
    Les D.

    Never thought I'd give five stars to an airport restaurant, yet here I am. For historic context, airport food has been in an age of darkness since the pandemic. Horrible, horrible stuff. Every aspect by which a restaurant could be measured, in airport restaurants throughout the country, just atrocious. Perhaps my dalliance with Puck's Italian Garden at DFW is the dawning. Clean, comfortable place. Certainly helped that we ate during a lull. Great menu for an airport restaurant, especially the offerings of light salads with appetizing greens. Just perfect for between flights. I had the baby kale and spinach salad. Just perfect. Not wading in a soppy, sour vinaigrette, just simple, fresh, and a healthy serving. Even more, the other salads on the menu looked just as good. Also had the italian meats sandwich, which server recommended. Just a great sandwich on a toasted bun. Wasn't greasy, or heavy. Fries a little salty, but very good. Server, by the way, was excellent; prepared, relaxed, and attentive. Pushing it to the fifth star; the price. Probably the best value I've had at an airport restaurant. Left not feeling like a robbed captive, which is what you want from an airport restaurant. I know, low bar to surpass. So, Wolfy's is the place for me. If we're back at DFW and we need a bite before our connection, I'm heading to Wolfy's.

    The food here is pretty good! It's super pricey for the portion you get, but not anything crazy considering it's in an airport. The service was pretty good and the ambiance is nice. It's definitely a nice place to eat if you want a good meal in the airport.

    Pizza Margherita! Yum..
    Mike M.

    Our flight home was about five hours delayed. The lounges were busy so we staked two bar-stools at the Italian Kitchen. A great decision! I will make this review direct and brief. We shared a delicious Margherita which was crisp and fluffy at same time. Again, a wonderful pizza to share. A glass of red wine complimented the early snack/dinner. A huge applause to Steven our bartender and server. Great customer service skills and a welcoming personality. Thanks Steven for your superior service and friendly attitude towards tired and weary travelers. Watching the Wimbledon finals (Gentlemen's singles & Ladies doubles) at Steven's bar while snacking and having a drink was quite enjoyable. I'm a new fan of this restaurant right at busy DFW.

    Great food and the waiter was attentive. Probably the best spot to eat at DFW near terminal D which is considered the main international terminal. Most international airlines operate in this section. A lot of domestic flights with American Airlines operate here as well.

    Spaghetti and Meatballs
    Thomas P.

    Actually reasonably priced comparable to most restaurants but the portions are a bit small. The marinara sauce has a bit of a kick to it. Spaghetti was al dente. Meatballs were very tasty. Could have used 4 instead of three. My kid got the 4 cheese ravioli and said it was great. Again, a bit small. Service was good. Overall a pretty good place for a bite to eat and with a bigger menu could easily be solid outside of the airport.

    Chicken piccata with broccolini & rigatoni

    Remember... is this location at an airport? Yes Do you expect to pay higher than average prices then? Sure Is Wolfgang Puck still a culinary legend even though his name is attached to mediocre places? True, but after all these years and restaurants I guess the weight or rep is diluted a bit since back in the day. He seems like a funny guy though, from the chef shows and videos I've seen of him. Would you really expect the best pasta in a place like this? No (-) On my particular visit, they were out of a few menu options (-) Our server was nervous and new (being trained) which was fine, but he did not wear mask properly at least initially (corrected after we made a simple discrete comment to the staff member training him)

    Avocado Toast
    Chanel M.

    During a 2 hr layover in Dallas we had breakfast. The service was decent and they were conscious of their passengers availability since many are there due to a layover. I got the Avocado Toast and Orange Juice. The toast was wonderful as it included a good amount of avocado, cherry tomatoes, onions and feta cheese topped with an egg (extra $ for egg). The only thing I would've changed would be to have the cubes of feta a bit smaller. There were huge hunks of cheese but I just cut them so it wasn't a major issue. The orange juice was sweet and refreshing. It kinda tastes as if it was freshly made. If I ever have a future layover at DFW I would stop back in for a bite.

    Gluten free pepperoni
    Maddy W.

    Pizza is the way to go! So delicious and they have gluten free crust. I ordered the gluten free pepperoni. The red sauce they use is really good and fresh tasting, not sweet. Good service as well. Friendly staff.

    When looking for a place to have breakfast at the airport, this place I would definitely recommend. The moment I approached the restaurant, the host immediately sat me down and told me who my server was. There was 1 server for my entire area and he was fast and attentive. The server never forgot an order for any of the patrons, and was very polite. The food was amazing, I have avocado toast, coffee and sausage. I cleaned my plate and ordered an almond croissant to go, though I wouldn't recommend that to eat. Overall the food was great, service was great and definitely recommend to anyone passing through this airport for breakfast.

    Mushroom pizza with added chicken

    For a restaurant in an airport, you can't really beat it. Moderately priced and good quality food for when you want a hearty meal before a flight.

    Flat iron steak and potatoes with asparagus
    Catherine Z.

    Shockingly good! I'm glad I didn't see the reviews or I would have walked on by. We had 2 hours to kill before our flight and happened to walk up. Trevon took amazing care of us. He never let our water get empty and was attentive while not being overbearing. We started with their homemade potato chips with Gorgonzola fondue. They were surprisingly great for potatoes chips and the fondue was very tasty. Warning though, it seemed to have blue cheese crumbles on top which I love, but the hubs not so much. For the main meal, I had flat iron steak with russet potatoes, grilled asparagus and Gorgonzola butter. I asked for medium rare and it was served to perfection and tasted like a more expensive piece of meat. The asparagus had a good char and was nicely seasoned. Hubs had the Italian meats sandwich and loved his too. The fries were just fries, but everything else was great. We finished with the Coppa raspberries with mascarpone cream, topped with bits of pistachio and what I think were a couple of nozzleberries. Was it a little expensive for what it was? Yes but this is expected at the airport. Everything tasted great and the service was top notch. Will definitely give them another try the next time we fly out of D terminal.

I like pickles and it can slip past people's attention, as it is not a standard topping. The bread was soft and the sandwich was a good size. The bacon was nice and crispy, but I found the filling a little skimpy. The turkey was completely lost. The strongest flavors were provelone and bacon, but it is essentially a turkey sandwich. There just wasn't much of it. Nor the veg. Lettuce and tomato were just barely present. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't GOOD.
