I love their margarita pizza it's really yum, the sauce is authentic Italian red sauce fresh you can taste it, the crust has to be from a non gmo yeast because I never bloat or have stomach issues after eating their pizza. Very yummy I recommend 100%. read more

Saw roach crawling up the wall and no offer of compensation for food. Management were made aware

Great food, really enjoyed the meatballs. The service is quick and the ambiance of eating at home is unmatched.

Four of us for dinner 2-13, had fabulous dinners all. Chicken Piccata sauce was so silky and perfect amount of lemon, huge serving. Same opinions of others' ...with manicotti, chicken Parmesan and an all meat pizza. Currently it's BYOB so call ahead for updates. Service was great. read more

I always get pizza here when I am wanting pizza, it may be a little more expensive than dominos or something BUT it is infinitely better. Their chicken alfredo pizza is UNMATCHED, I have never had bad service here or bad food. read more

If I could leave a zero star for this place I would. I'll start off by saying I am not and have never been a picky eater. Even if the food isn't great I'm still going to eat. From the servers BO to the quality of food it was the worst dining experience I have had in a long long time. I have never walked out of a restaurant and left a full plate but I did last night. It was horrible and to top it off my wife and 9 month old both had upset stomachs and the runs up until this morning. Safe to say we will never return. read more

To start, the bread that you get when you first come in is not good at all, wasn't very fresh and was super chewy, next we got garlic bread, it tasted like they toasted the bread, sprinkled cheese on top and then put it in the microwave. The service is okay, there was only one server and she didn't talk much. I got fettuccine Alfredo and let me just say it's some of the worst I've ever had. It doesn't taste like cheese or anything like fettuccine Alfredo should it tastes like gravy. My friend got shrimp with vodka sauce and the shrimp were just bagged frozen shrimp you could get at the store, and the sauce was super watered down, the ambiance is very empty, it's like they went to an Ashly furniture picked out a basic dining set and asked for about twenty of them. I came here with high hopes and left severally disappointed, definitely won't be back. I only took like 2 bites of my food before I decided I was done. Im surprised this place has been open as long as it has. Wish this could've been better. read more

Fuoco Italian - Italian Near Me - Midland, Texas

While visiting Midland, I checked out some restaurant reviews and discovered an Italian place that had high ratings. We decided to try it, and it exceeded our expectations. I ordered the Tour Italy, and my daughter chose the tortellini; to our delight, both dishes were fantastic. The waitress mentioned that the sauces and lasagna are made from scratch, which contributed to their deliciousness. The only drawback was that the bread wasn't very good. read more

Perfect 5 stars. My wife is a huge Italian food fan and had been asking to go here and we left very impressed. The service was great, fast, and friendly. The food was fantastic. I had the lobster ravioli and she had the chicken parmesan. It was all great, we will most definitely be back. read more

Good food a lots of it., the pasta is delicious a the salads are just as great. Not to many Italian restaurants have cause my attention such as this one in the Midland area, I'll continue to eat here as long as they continue the great service of Italian cuisine, el'dente read more

My son and I came here for the first time and were excited to try it out. The service was quite slow, and it felt like our waitress wasn't very engaged, which took away from the experience. The food portions were generous, but the flavors were just average. Overall, I was hoping to be more impressed, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The ambiance was nice. read more

Most amazing authentic Italian food in Midland and Odessa!! You can tell their sauce is homemade, their portions are very big!! Cheap prices too! read more

Really delicious pastas and great service! Everyone should give this growing business a try ! read more

Fuoco Italian - Italian Near Me - Midland, Texas

Food was delicious, I could you a little less marinara sauce on the tour of Italy but that is my personal taste. Spacious and comfy, I would suggest hanging some TVs with some shows/videos to fill up the space. The service was good, would be nice is server have a little more knowledge on recommending items of the menu read more

Fuoco Italian - Tour of Italy - Italian Near Me - Midland, Texas

Excellent Italian food and service. Staff is very friendly and quick to serve. I know the owners and are great people

I really wanted to like this place. I loved the restaurant that was previously in this space, but I knew it struggled with ambiance because of how large and cold/fluorescent the space is. When we walked into Fuoco's, it immediately seemed like they struggle with the same atmosphere issues. It is not very cozy, and the instrumental music blaring in the large open space did not create a comforting environment. It took a bit to get served, but once we were, the server was good and attentive. The food was, as the zoomers would say, "mid." Everything was fine, but nothing was great, and nothing was bad. The pizza crust was a little thick and fluffy for my taste, and it just didn't taste memorable. The lasagna and chicken parm were good; the fettuccine alfredo was ok. My husbands rigatoni was fine, but he said the meatballs were under seasoned. The mussels marinara were fine, and the bruschetta was good but there was only one cherry tomato on each piece of bread which made it look cheap and stingy, not high end. Would I ever eat here again? Maybe. But I wouldn't go out of my way, and I wouldn't recommend it. That being said, I hope they work out their issues and build a successful restaurant. I know it's hard to establish new places in this area, and some of the food does have potential; it just needs refinement. read more

Fuoco Italian - Bruschetta - Italian Near Me - Midland, Texas

Faux Italian... chewy tasteless veal. Bland pizza that is more expensive and has less flavor than dominos. Processed bagged cheap iceberg lettuce sold as a Caesar salad with only the cheese to partially redeem it. Minestrone that tastes like it came out of a can with veg that was still tough. Garlic bread wasn't awful, but was still pretty boring and uninspired. All in all a waste of a great potential. Don't waste your money on this place read more

I feel bad writing this review because I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately everything about it was just bad. The interior was like if someone tried to put together a restraint in the barn behind their house. The chairs we were sat in were dirty and stained, there paint on the wall was noticeably streaked, there was plastic hanging from the ceiling with the brightest led lights ever, the Spanish music did not match the Italian vibe at all. The service was pretty bad too. Everyone was nice but we stood in the front for 10 minutes before anyone came up to us. One couple had been there before us and walked out because they hadn't been served. Then the waiter seemed a little out of it. I asked if we could spilt a Caesar salad and they said yes then we never got it and when I asked about it they pretended like I never ordered it. The Caesar salad was also bad, it was pretty much Caesar flavored mayo dressing. We got the Lobster Ravioli and Chicken Murphy and I don't know what to say other than both were mid. The sauce was good but chicken was dry and overall it just wasn't the quality I was looking for in a restaurant. read more

The Caesar salad with shrimp was very disappointing. Iceberg lettuce, croutons, cheese with what tasted like old shrimp. Not edible.$18.50!

Family night out at Fuoco Italian Cuisine restaurant. The food is always fresh, yummy & reasonably priced & their restaurant is very nice, spacious & clean! It's family owned & ran by them as well. Enjoyed our conversation with one of the owners too. read more

Fuoco Italian - Italian Near Me - Midland, Texas

One of our favorites. Delicious fettuccine and tour of Italy! I am anxious to try their pizza next. My only suggestion is that change to a different/ softer/ better bread. That can be a huge factor when you are comparing Italian restaurants! read more

Stromboli! Best in town! Great Spot and great food. Pizzas are large and good! Give them a try if you're looking for great Italian!

Every thing was amazing. Husband and I went for date night. It was clean, quiet, service was great and food was very authentic and delicious. Small family owned business, one of the owners came out to thank us and get feedback. He was so nice and truly appreciated our business. Would recommend and will definitely go back. read more

Please! Please! Save your money and your disappointment! There are 3 OTHER unique Italian Restaurants and 1 chain Italian restaurant within 5 mins from this one, patronize one of them. This was Fuoco's second and LAST chance with us. VERY DISAPPOINTING! We believe in giving new restaurants a second chance! BUT it costs too much to eat out, as it is, you want to enjoy it! Whoever has opened this place has no clue about Italian Food or running a restaurant! Not only, IF you are going to open an Italian restaurant should you be making fresh pasta not dry pasta! BUT the food is edging on the side of disgusting! My husbands Chicken Genovese was edible but the sauce was not a cream sauce, it was a normal Marsala sauce but runny and tasted like mass production, jarred, definitely not scratch/house made and contained Pickled Jalapeños?? We were curious about jalapeños in Italian food! We like spicy and we are adventurous, but Pickled Jalapeños? really!! The grilled chicken tasted fake, like it came from Ben E Keith's, already grilled filets! I made the mistake of ordering the clams in white wine sauce! Described as clams cooked in garlic and Basil in either a white wine sauce or marinara. I, as most would expect, was expecting fresh in shell clams cooked in garlic and Basil in white wine! There was NO evidence of garlic, basil or white wine in the dish! It was macerated canned clams in a sauce that tasted like chicken flavored baby food! With dried oregano or Italian seasoning sprinkled in it. I wouldn't feed it to my cats! I ate two bites! The service wasn't bad but not good and the waitress was clueless! I didn't make a scene but she didn't care to inquire why I didn't eat my dish, just wanted to know if I wanted a to go box! NO THANKS! I have NO idea why someone would randomly decide to open an Italian Restaurant within 1 mile of 4 other Italian restaurants and then cut corners and serve sub par food! If they don't make changes I'm calling that this place will be closed before making a year! It will have nothing to do with the ambiance! If food is good, people will come regardless of the ambiance! If the food is bad and not worth your money, you will lose repeat customers and they will warn everyone they know to stay away! I wish I had taken a pick of my disgusting clam baby food pasta to show but didn't think to take one at the time. The only good thing about the meal was the Cannoli for dessert! read more

Wonderful!!! The atmosphere was relaxing and we could actually hear each other talk without having to yell. The staff was very nice and prompt-we never had to wait for drink refills. The food was very good! We will definitely be coming in more often. Update: tonight we had the mozzarella caprese and it was absolutely amazing! Once again the staff was super nice and the food was great! I just can't say enough about how good the experience here is on all levels. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out! read more

Very good, highly recommend. Incredible food and ambiance. Service was great and fast.

I've ordered a million chicken wings for my dad from here. I don't usually like wings bc they're covered in sauce. These are crispy wings with sauce on the side and they are crispy heaven. The ranch is homemade too. I tried the chicken Alfredo tonight. And it was the best sauce, hands down here in Midland. The pasta tasted homemade but I think the restaurant would specify, so I'll just say the noodles were fresh. Go try it. That's a hard location to keep. (Librado ) Best Pasta, hands down. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! Best pizza and pasta I have ever had!!! Can't wait to go back and try some other menu items!!! The service is spectacular! Super sweet people!! I hope this place is a huge success!! It's a great addition to our town!! Give them a try, you will love it read more

As a native Midlander, I look forward to new restaurants but with a 'good for Midland' lens. Went to Fuoco for lunch and had side salad with house Italian dressing and the chicken piccata. Side Salad was poured from a bag of American mix, stale iceberg, carrots and red cabbage. House Italian dressing was different and not traditional, too sweet and appeared more tomato base? Fresh salad isn't hard and would make a considerable first impression. When Midland restaurant's fail it is little details and shortcuts like this that keep me from coming back. Chicken Piccata was two pieces of overcooked grilled chicken over spaghetti. The sauce and spaghetti were lovely though. If the chicken was a tad thicker (vs being flattened so thin) and add a bit of vegetable to the plate it would a nice dish. The service was good. However, would recommend offering customers more explanation when ordering house Italian dressing since it is not traditional. read more

Service was good. But the food was bland and overpriced . We will stick with rays bistro from now on

Heard a lot about this place. These folks posting good reviews must be eating tv dinners every day. Sauce must be canned. It was ridiculous. We had several plates tasted between each other. Save your money and go to a fast food joint. The ONLY good thing was the service. read more

We really enjoyed dinner on Friday night. Great food! Tastes fresh and homemade! Service was great! Definitely recommend! read more

I was excited to try it because I heard good things to say the least 0/10 don't recommend. the pizza was loaded with absolutely wayyy too much cheese just a disgusting amount. The undercarriage of the pizza (the dough) was way too chewy almost under-cooked like the pizza was rushed. I got the same vibes with the garlic bread just white bread with cheese thrown on it (literally) & chunks of garlic absolutely 0 appeal not to mention it came smashed in foil with cheese falling off. I don't even leave reviews so me doing this says a lot. Again 0/10 don't recommend read more

Fuoco Italian - Mozzarella Caprese Calzone Meatballs - Italian Near Me - Midland, Texas

Fuoco is consistently delicious and the service is great we enjoy this any time we are in Midland!

If you're looking for good Italian food, I wouldn't recommend this place of you know what good food is. The vodka sauce had zero flavor and the pasta was drowning in sauce. The "bruschetta" was not good either. Service was very slow for not being busy and they brought out our food plate by plate. Will not be going back here. This seems to be the norm in Midland. People hype up a restaurant and then you go and find out it's mediocre at best. Will not be going back. Stick to Rays or Venezia for Italian. read more

Fuoco's staff made us feel welcome as we entered. The waitress seated two of us even though we waited for two friends to arrive. She checked on us and brought drinks and the delicious home made bread knots while we waited. Our friends arrived after 20 minutes but she did not rush us to order. Menus offered typical Italian choices. She adapted two of our orders to our requests. I ordered white clam sauce on fettucine. One order was for a small serving of fettucine alfredo with chicken. My grandson thoroughly enjoyed his huge hot meatball sub. The fourth order was for the Taste of Italy, a great variety of combinations. Salads were fresh and crisp; the Caesar dressing presented the right blend of flavors. Ice tea was clear and with the right, fresh taste. Service was very good as our waitress checked on us after entrees were delivered and throughout the meal. She seemed to truly want to serve us and always with a smile and polite response. We shall return. read more

Fabulous food and the sweetest servers! We ordered the Garlic Cheese Bread and Bruschetta Appetizers, both came quickly and fresh. Our meals came out perfect, we ordered the Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Alfredo, and the Tour of Italy which had Chicken Parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo and Lasagna. All of the dishes were delicious and large portions. Unfortunately we couldn't find room for dessert but will try for it next visit! read more
