The restaurant was probably 75% full and it was just 2 of us, so easy peasy. Amber(I really hope that's right) was a great waitresses. She greeted us and asked if we wanted anything besides the waters that had already been given. She then gave us a few minutes to look over the menu... Side bar: I guess I'm just old, but I want a real menu, not a QR code to scan. We looked over the menu and decided on 2 small pizza to split. Fourmaggio, which almost always my go to if available at the pizza place, and the Potato and Pancetta. Both pizzas were great, but the Potato and Pancetta was the winner for us! Really cool little spot that seems like a hipster sports bar. We don't live close, but will probably go in the future if we're in the area.

I have not been to Garland texas yet, which is apparently my loss because I recently learned it's…read morethe largest manufacturer of cowboy hats in Texas. (just a fun fact) They seem pretty proud of that fact too, considering there's now a giant cowboy hat sculpture, "The Big Hat," right across the street. It's impossible to miss. Anyway, we weren't there for hats. We were there for pizza. First, a public service announcement. Figure out what you want before you walk in because the menu is only available through a QR code, and it is awful. You scroll. Then you scroll some more. Then somehow you're still scrolling. It feels less like ordering dinner and more like reading the terms and conditions for a mortgage. The two of us ordered a large pepperoni pizza, which turned out to be ambitious. We ate leftovers for days. Next time I'd definitely order the smaller size. My only real complaint about the pizza itself was the pepperoni. There was just TOO MUCH of it. Sure, I could have asked for "light pepperoni", but then I'd be paying full price for less topping, and that just goes against my personal philosophy. I'd love to see a "light pepperoni" option priced accordingly. ALSO not it is the good and greasy cupping pepperoni, kinda spicy. The pizza was also a little unevenly prepared. About half had a thicker crust while the other half was noticeably thinner. I definitely preferred the thinner side. Service was perfectly fine, the bathrooms were clean and nice, and the pizza was good overall. Just be prepared for the QR code marathon before you get to enjoy it.

We were going to try a pizza but we went with pasta dishes instead. She already had the lasagna before and ordered it again, I went with the chicken parmigiana. Both dishes were great, but I think I liked her lasagna better. Neither dish felt heavy even though it looked heavy. The food was just delicious. This was a pick up order and as soon as I walked in to pick it up I was immediately greeted at the door with a friendly smile. This is a place we are going back to for more great food and hospitality.

This restaurant, located in a nondescript strip mall in Garland off NW Hwy, is truly a hidden gem…read more The ambience is nothing to write home about, but the food is outstanding. The chef is obviously trained and talented. We went here for dinner on a Sunday because the kid wanted pasta. The menu actually is quite diverse with some Italian, Mexican, vegetarian, meat, burgers, and flatbread. Usually or often when a restaurant tries to do everything it ends up doing nothing well. That is not the case with the Italian that we had here. We started with a Caprese salad and it was pretty standard. The wife had lamb chops and they were cooked perfectly. Great sauce. The spinach and mashed potatoes were also perfect. I had chicken piccata. It was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever had. Chicken was tender and the sauce was excellent. The grilled vegetables were cooked perfectly. We had fruit tart (excellent), cheesecake (excellent) and chocolate cake (excellent) for dessert. We want to come back. If the Mexican is as good as the Italian food, this place is an all-time winner.

When I entered, I was rather uncertain. The space looks like a stereotypical pizzeria. I wasn't impressed at all, but I was too tired to leave. HOWEVER, my attitude quickly changed as I was greeted by the outstanding wait staff. Over the course of my visit, I was checked on several times by what seemed to be either the owners or managers. In the heart of a busy city, these men went the extra mile to make me feel like a welcomed guest in their home. It was a very nice experience. I ordered the lasagna on the server's recommendation. What a plate of food! The meat sauce was not skimpy at all....lots of beef and flavorful seasoning. The noodles were soft while still firm enough to maintain the shape. The generous portion and the really soft bread were a great dinner to bring a long day to an end. As a lover of Italian food, I plan to visit several area restaurants over this weekend. I have to admit that I'm thinking about returning to Besa's to try out some of the delicious pizza I saw during my visit. Excellent experience! I'll definitely be back.

The pastas tasted store bought, the rolls were a little stale, the lasagna had a thick sheet of stiff cheese and meatballs instead of the bolognese they used to serve it with.

We arrived on time for our reservation and our table was waiting. One of my favorite cocktails is a Godfather but usually when I order it the server and/or bartender says "what is that?" Imagine my surprise when I saw this on the menu. So you can guess what I had to drink The Frittelle (zucchini fritters) were a great appetizer. I had the calzone, it was a good size and cooked well done (my preference). My husband had the Montanara pizza which they are known for. It has a flash-fried dough. He absolutely loved it. We were a party of 7 and needed the check divided but the waiter could not do it. I think we should have told him before we ordered (maybe). Should be accommodated.

The ambiance was very pleasant, with chandelier lighting. The place was spotlessly clean. While the music was easy listening, it did not really match an Itlalian restaurant, but I won't criticize them on that. For Dinner we ordered a Tortillini Alfredo and a Chicken Parmigiano. Both were freshly prepared and executed perfectly. I honestly intended on eating only half of my Chicken Parmigiano, but it was so good I could not stop myself from eating it. The rolls served with it were pretty amazing as well! My only concern is that on a Saturday night at 7:30 we were one of only 4 tables in the place. Seriously, food this good is something everyone should experience, so I am hoping my fellow local Yelpers will come out and give this place some well-earned business!

I got the fettuccine alfredo with meat sauce, and my cousin got chicken fettuccine alfredo, and both were so good!! The best part of our lunch was our server.
