Stopped by with my friend after a night out. Was greeted by a nice gentleman behind the counter who took my order. I ordered two pizza slices. Waited in line to pay with the cashier. Before I reached the front of the check out line, I heard another customer ask the cashier for 2 cups for water. The cups were quickly handed to them. I thought "great, so I know they offer water cups". I sat down at a table near the checkout line and waited for my food to be brought out. The cashier handed it to me. I decided I wanted a cup of water since it was something they offer, right? Wrong. So I went back up to get in the line. I asked the gentleman who first greeted me for a cup of water. He said of course and to ask the cashier for it. So I did. I stood in line again and waited to ask the cashier. When i finally get to the cashier, i ask him and he says they only offer water for purchase. I ended up just walking away and leaving the establishment because I knew he was lying and it had already been a long night so I was ready to go after that. So my question is, why did i see someone else just moments before me getting water that wasn't for purchase? And why did the other gentleman tell me that I could? So I guess it just depends on who you are and what you look like, if you know what I mean. Also to make matters worse, my friend told me that she was at a table putting Parmesan on her pizza and an employee came by and took it off the table without even asking if she was done using it. The sad part is, I really liked the pizza but I will NEVER go back because of the strange, discriminatory behaviors of some of the staff. read more

Ordered Italia Express via DoorDash while in Dallas for a work conference. For being delivered through DoorDash, the pizza, pasta (not pictured), and garlic knots all came fresh and hot. For $7, the slices of stuffed pizza were way bigger than I was expecting. I wasn't a huge fan of the garlic bits as they felt more like rolls with a little garlic butter and Parmesan on top. I can't speak to the restaurant itself since I wasn't there in person but I would definitely get this ordered again, especially given how late they're open. read more

Man o Man! This place has quickly become very popular in our home for 2 reasons! One, it stays open pretty late, and two...THE PIZZA!!! This past Friday, my bf and I did not feel like cooking and what better Friday food than pizza! We were specifically craving a new york style pizza, with a lot of cheese, jalapenos, and big slices! That's exactly what we got! We ordered a 20" pizza (It was GIGANTIC) and we got it delivered! we paid roughly 37 dollars after tip and tax but for the size of the pizza, it was so worth it! We will definitely be ordering from here again! and are now recommending their pizza to all our friends! We haven't tried much else, but given how good the pizza is, I can expect it to be great! We can't wait to order again soon! read more

This place is delicious!! So many pizza, pasta, stromboli and dessert options. Their pepperoni pizza wheel and garlic knots are soooo tasty especially with the side of marinara sauce. I love that they heat up the food in the pizza oven before serving you -- it doesn't take long at all.

This place hits the spot after having a few drinks at the nearby bars. The slices are super cheap. We came in an uber as parking is very difficult to find in this area. The inside of the restaurant was simple and clean. We were here for a few minutes, we offered our slices and hit them quickly, and ate so fast. It's a great spot to have a quick meal. There is no legit vegan pizza, but that's ok. read more

Omg!!! I can't believe I never bump into Italia Express. I was driving around in the area and decided to pull up my favorite app because the stomach was calling for help. I saw great reviews and pictures looks great, let's stop! As I walked in the menu looks like they have varieties from salads, pizza & pasta. Pizzas are already made so you just choose your slice and they're put it back into the oven and serve it to you. I placed a salad and pasta order at the counter and sat down. Price point very reasonable and portion was a good amount. Service was excellent, they're very helpful and friendly. Clam pasta... Excellent!!! Full of flavors and lots of clams. The sauce was rich, garlicky, and filled with flavor. The garlic bread that came with the pasta was yummy. I definitely booked mark this place read more

After a drunken night on the strip, Italia Express it is. We came here twice during our stay in Dallas and honey it is worth it! The slices are 5 dollars a pop and this is essential drunk food! I'd go here sober to eat the pizza. They warm the pizza up for ya after ordering. The vibe is that of a pizza eatery so if you've ever been to an authentic pizza place then you know. Check them out! The service is great. It does get a little busy, but the line moves swiftly. read more

My wife loves their Alfredo pasta and I pick it up for her from time to time (often). I decided to try the Baked Ziti, my first time ever and added calamari and a side Caesar salad to complete the mean and I was simply blown away. The baked ziti was as good as everyone said but more. The flavor was top tier and the portion size was greatly appreciated. The calamari was cooked to perfection and now each time I crave calamari they will be my go to spot. This has now become one of my top 3 spots for quick and tasty Italian food. read more

Really great pizza and they are playing about being "express". No matter how long the line is, don't be discouraged because they keep it moving. The garlic knots are the best I've ever had. Slightly crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. Great dunked in their marinara. Alfredo pizza is creamy and garlic-y. I love a white pizza. Pepperoni is classic and love the thin crispy crust. I feel guilty for eating pizza this good at a relatively low price. And they open to at least 2am if not later. Always a good time and consistently good food and service no matter what you time you go. Special shout-out to the guys that work there- super sweet and always 5 star service. read more

I don't care for a lot of meat sometimes so I wouldn't have ordered it as my main but it really complimented the spicy gemelli - perhaps going halfsies would have been a nice option. Service was attentive and our dishes came out fast, we sat indoors beside the bar but the patio could have been a really nice option if you're a patio person. I typically am not. I have yet to find a Dallas Italian spot that I love more than my current no.1 back home (Donna's on Sunset in LA) but this meal was delish and I wouldn't rule out dining here again in the future.

But what really made the experience unforgettable was our server, Leigh. She went above and beyond in every way possible. She didn't just explain the menu- she told a story. From the background of the owner to the details of each dish, you could tell how much care and passion went into everything. She checked in at all the right moments, made sure we had everything we needed, and genuinely cared that we loved each bite. And the food... wow. It transported me to Italy. We started with the arugula salad with bresaola dressed with lemon - super refreshing - paired with the arancini. The bread dipped in the sauce was insane: perfectly crisp on the outside, with rich, flavorful rice inside. We shared the triangoli ravioli stuffed with ricotta and topped with mushroom, hazelnut, and parmesan, and it was incredible. The hazelnut added the perfect crunch and nutty depth. Then came the tagliatelle with wagyu bolognese--perfectly balanced, rich, and made even better with clearly homemade pasta. We finished savory dishes with the veal saltimbocca, and I swear it made me feel like I was sitting in Rome. The sauce was incredible, and the sage really brought everything together. But the true showstoppers? Dessert. My Italian grandma said the cannolo was the best she's ever had - and that says everything. Light, crisp, and not overly sweet. Then the chocolate dessert with olive oil and sea salt... I went in for two bites and somehow finished the entire thing without realizing. Easily the best chocolate dessert I've ever had. This place is out of this world. Would order all of these dishes again. In a city full of restaurants, this is one I will come back to every single time I'm in Dallas. Absolutely 5 stars. Brava.

Service was quick, attentive, and happy to offer food and wine pairing suggestions. For dinner I ordered the tortellini vodka, which was perfectly seasoned with a rich, flavorful sauce. Barsotti's is absolutely worth a visit. Casual yet elegant, right in the heart of North Oak Lawn.

Wow. Worst service ever. Our waiter "greeted" our table with "shall I get you a bottle and five…read moreglasses?" Presumably meaning wine, but we were considering cocktails and a bit confused by the question. He said "I'll come back when you're ready," and disappeared for the first of many long absences. From the beginning it felt like we were ruining his life. He was cheerless and curt and wouldn't make eye contact with anyone. It would be more understandable if the restaurant was super busy or understaffed. But this was Monday at 6 pm. We listed a birthday on the reservation, but it wasn't acknowledged. Why bother to ask if we are celebrating? We waited for empty plates and glasses to be cleared between courses. We waited a long time for him to return so we could order a second glass of wine. Even longer for the plates to be cleared and longer still for the opportunity to order dessert...a piece of cake for the birthday girl and two after dinner drinks...but the drinks weren't picked up from the bar when the cake was delivered, and only remembered when we asked for the check. We watched him pick them up (well after the cake was consumed) on his way to leave the bill. No mention that they had been overlooked, no thank you, no good night. This was our first time at Barsotti's and it will be our last. Aside from the awful service, we had issues with the food as well. The veal was pounded paper thin and fried hard resulting in a tough, chewy texture similar to dried beef or jerky. It was dry and overcooked on two different dishes. On a more positive note, we enjoyed the fried ravioli appetizer and the redfish was fine. While our waiter was largely MIA and unpleasant when he did show up, the bus boy/assistant was gracious and attentive. Maybe he was trying to compensate for his colleague. BTW, the offensive employee was in his late 40s to mid 50s with a slight build and salt and pepper hair.

It looked like an appetizer. My food was good, but I was left hungry. Our dessert was also huge. I don't understand why my plate was so small. What's worse, is that we were celebrating our anniversary and there was zero acknowledgement from the staff. Not a single person said, "Happy anniversary", even though my husband made sure to let them know. Our dessert didn't even have an anniversary message written on the plate (which is the bare minimum for any special occasion). I'd come back, but not for ANY special occasion.

Really nice place

It's hard to find Real carbonara out anymore. I don't know if it's the eggs in there that restaurants or people are worried about it but I don't have a problem with that at all. All that said, this was a great dish. Had the chicken carbonara with fettuccini and it could not have been done better. It was a special that night and I hope the put it on the menu permanently. Drinks were good as well. I'll be back. More often if carbonara gets on the menu :-)

Service was excellent on the evening we were there. We started with the mozzarella garlic bread, appetizer with spicy sausage. It's a huge portion enough for three people easily. Very good. Salads were nice and very fresh tasting. They certainly weren't bagged lettuce as you get in some restaurants these days. For entrées, the pasta Gianni was the big hit. Great flavor and you have your option on pasta and I chose penne. For dessert we had the special cheesecake which was amazing. Prices for wine, cocktails, and food are all very reasonable. We had a really nice time.
