Acquario Italian Restaurant is one of the best Italian restaurants in North Texas. I don't spend…read moremuch time in Keller, and my visit to Acquario made me wish this restaurant was closer to me. One of the best meals I've had all year, this is a Tarrant County gem. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - On my Saturday visit, Acquario Italian Restaurant was busy and full of energy. Acquario has a very upscale feel, with dim lighting, heavy white tablecloths, and lots of pretty people. You can make a reservation on Open Table. 1 Star. Service - Our server was exceptional. He made many recommendations and didn't need to write down our order. He checked in several times, and a manager even stopped by asking us how things were. Our table settings were cleared after each course, and the entire time we felt like we were at a fine dining establishment (because we were). 1 Star. Food - We began with several starters, but the two most outstanding were the Octopus Ceviche and the Grilled Octopus. The Ceviche was light and fresh, and the Grilled Octopus was tender with a smoky char. The presentation was outstanding. For my main, I chose the Ravioli Tartufo. I discovered this rich, savory, truffled infused cheese at one of my favorite soufflé spots in Dallas, so when I saw Acquario had a ravioli version, I ordered it. It easily exceeded my expectations, the creamy Tartufo cheese sauce was smooth, velvety, and creamy. And none was spared, as it made an excellent dipping sauce for the house made Italian bread. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes.... I hope. Keller is pretty far for me, and there are many delicious Italian restaurants in Dallas. But wow, Acquario Italian Restaurant has permanently made its mark on me, and I will be looking for an excuse to return (or hope they open a second location in Dallas County). 1 Star.

As a vegetarian, I was excited for the Gnocci, but was informed there was a limited menu with the holiday. The server saw my disappointment, and was able to still make the dish. I was so pleased with the above and beyond level of service. We enjoyed the food, drinks, service, and quiet atmosphere. We definitely will visit again!

The food was amazing and they even asked if we wanted to try the tiramisu cake. We certainly tried it and it was the best tiramisu I have ever tried.

Pizza is very well done, the lobster ravioli is terrific if they have it on the specials menu. Everything I've had there has been good, we love the properly made carbonara and my Italian heritage friends swear by this place! Portions are huge, very good value for the price. And if the weather is nice enough to sit outside, you can bring your dog!

This is a Farmers Market stand (Keeler and Saginaw) that is so amazing that you will want to try it…read morefor yourselves. You will be glad you read my review. It is family owned and they offer order in advance or purchase there. Their vegetarian option is worth the experience, but for those of you meat eaters, my husband said their other options are just as good. This bread filled with pizza ingredients is so flavorful and crunchy. They advertise one bread feeds 2 people, in our home more like 3 or 4. The service is great and friendly. I love they are at a farmers market, so you may enjoy the vendors, weather and their product. Let me know what you think. I know I will be spot on!

Overall, the food was solid, but I'm not entirely sure about everything we ordered…read more The appetizers were definitely the highlight! The crispy peppers, tuna carpaccio and focaccia were all delicious and made for a great start. Now, the mains were a little more disappointing. We tried a few of the seafood options: the shrimp pasta was good, but the raviolo aperto with salmon was, hmm... not really for me. It was a huge double layer of pasta with a lot of different flavors going on inside, and the combination just didn't quite work for me. Service was good, if a little too over-attentive at times. However, they did mess up one of our mains, which we ended up eating anyway rather than sending it back. I wouldn't normally be too bothered by the overall, but when you're paying at the very high end of the price range, you do expect a little more -- both in terms of food and overall execution. Music was quite loud, a little hard to talk at times. Plenty of free parking available, which is always a plus.

Living less than a mile away, Vinny's is close and convenient. But that doesn't earn a rating…read more We'd drive quite a distance to enjoy dinner at Vinny's. I've written before, never underestimate a restaurant in a strip mall. Vinny's is no exception. Warm and inviting, Excellent staff and attentive service. A decent wine list.

Once again, this was a wonderful Yelp event. Kendall and Postino's, thank you very much…read more We chose to visit around the time of opening. After noon, you can expect the crowd to significantly increase and it will become busy. We ran into that, towards the end of our visit. With the increase in traffic, it was nice to be tended by more than one waiter. I didn't think about it then, but I would have loved to tip the second person, as well. When going to Postino's, I always try to get something new and they never fail to impress. Drink: The Mockingbird (Mocktail) - bright pineapple, a touch of Italian orange, and toasted almond bitters. This was very good and is something I'd get again. The Board: Brie, Apple & Fig Spread - this is a repeat for me, I absolutely love it. The apples are always fresh, crisp, and juicy. This is so perfect! Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone - another repeat, I can't go to Postino's without having this on my board. Mushroom & Mascarpone - If you're a lover of mushrooms, you'll enjoy these little bites. I did notice, we did not get the green onions this time around and I was okay with that. They were removed, due to the current outbreak. Great thinking, Postino's! Salami & Pesto - This always closes the board for me, I love this combination. Although, I will add, I think a different type of salami would work best with this combination. West Coaster Panini - (Smoked ham, smashed avocado, arugula, roasted garlic aioli, pickled red onion, Calabrian chili, feta cheese. For my side, I chose the tomato soup, my goodness, was it good. I must say, it is the best tomato soup, I've ever had. It was creamy, packed with flavor, and complimented my panini so well. Also, they add cheese tortellinis to the soup as well. So, good! This was very delicious, the ham stood out and wasn't muted. However, I think I will get another bread next time. I chose the focaccia, it was a bit too much bread for that particular sandwich. I will admit, it doesn't beat their prosciutto and brie panini; that sandwich is divine. Hot Donut Dots - (House made ricotta donut holes with salted butter chocolate, caramel and vanilla glaze dipping sauces.) These are superb and packs a lot in one bite. The cream in the middle is so smooth and full of flavor, but is very heavy. I'm not a cookies and milk person, but this dessert craves a tall glass of milk. They were hot, fresh, and I appreciate the fact that even when fried, they were not swimming in grease. The vanilla dipping sauce was my go-to, of the three sauces. They did well with this dessert, it hit all of the bases. Postino's is a great place to visit with friends, a date, or even as a solo-day/night out. They are one of my top 5 restaurants and I don't see that changing, ever!

Oliva Italian Eatery, a hidden gem in Keller! This was our first time eating at Oliva's, and we…read morewere not disappointed! Sitting at the end of an unassuming strip mall, Oliva's has a nice family atmosphere. Even though there were a couple of larger parties in there, the servers were prompt and friendly. Most importantly.... The food was plentiful and delicious. I had the Seafood Oliva which consisted of a "Fruiti de Mare" of shrimps, clams, mussels, and calamari rings over a bed of linguine in a flavorful white wine tomato sauce. The seafood was perfectly cooked and the linguine was "al dente"! My wife had the Chicken Toscana, consisting of grilled chicken breast, artichokes, and tomatoes, in a lemon butter caper white wine sauce over another bed of "Al dente" linguine which was excellent! There was so much food that we each only ate half of our entrees so we could save room for dessert! For dessert we had a piece of homemade tiramisu and a cannoli which were delicious! Excellent food, great atmosphere, and very reasonable prices. We will be coming back to our new found Italian "Go To"restaurant and we'll be bringing friends with us!

We started with the Arancini, a deep-fried ball of rice, pesto and mozzarella; rolled in bread crumbs. Never had anything like it before. It's amazing. Their tomato sauce is so fresh and salted perfectly. For your entrees, you "build your own"....choose your pasta, the sauce and the protein.My wife had the penne pasta, tomato sauce and meatballs. Very good. I chose the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce. Excellent. The bread is also terrific. Prices are fair. Service very attentive. It is a very minimalist dining room, boardering on spartan, but who cares, you can't eat ambience. We will definitely be back. Want to try their margherita pizza. Also saw another diner's entree of pasta with pesto sauce. This place lived up to its stellar YELP score!!
