What Would I Do? I would dine at this wonderful, mom & pop Italian restaurant everyday! I love its owner, Sam - and his fabulous staff. Delicious food - I always order the Spicy Chicken & Shrimp with Penne. And great, great service! Big bar area too, if you need to wait for a table. Times are tough for small businesses. Go give Sam and his team your support! You will love it! - John Quiñones read more

We have ordered from this restaurant several times in the past and have generally been happy with the food. Unfortunately, this most recent order was very disappointing. The spaghetti came with angel hair noodles instead of regular spaghetti, and the salad that was supposed to come with the meal was missing from our order. It was a disappointing experience, especially since we've ordered from here before without any issues. Unfortunately, we probably won't be ordering from this restaurant again. read more

I got the chicken piccata and it was very very tasty ! We will be back ;) MK read more

We went on a Friday night. It wasn't too busy and our server was very attentive. The food was great, with the exception of the salad. I wouldn't suggest the house Italian dressing. There was live music. You could tell this was a regular outing for the people who sang along with him. We will definitely be back. read more

This place has the feel of an authentic family run, true Italian restaurant and the food was amazing. Everything from the fresh bread, to the salad with house dressing, to the entrees and finally the chocolate mousse cake. We moved to Fort Worth a little over 3 years ago and I feel cheated that it took this long to find this place. They have the best Italian food we have found in DFW. No exaggeration. I highly recommend the house dressing on the salad. It's a light tomato type vinaigrette. And the entree, Chicken Cariole(?). My wife had the Chicken Jerusalem. Both were excellent. Prices are very reasonable. Service was good and the food was out in a reasonable amount of time. I was actually surprised that they were not busier on a Friday night. If you like Italian food then this place has got to be on your list to try. We will definitely be back! read more

Good food, great service and great drinks. Our waiter was really nice and the espresso martinis are awesome. The portions for the price are great we will be back. read more

We planned to eat in downtown Roanoke, but there was a festival happening and the streets were blocked off. No parking. So we left and drove by Italian Bistro. We were treating our granddaughter to dinner and she wanted Italian so we decided to try it. Our experience was fantastic. The ambiance has a New York vibe. My husband ordered pizza which he loved. My granddaughter ordered chicken piccata and said it was good. I ordered sausage pizziola and it was so delicious. They serve one cab and one Chardonnay by the glass. More options by the bottle. I ordered a glass of the Cabernet and the quality was beyond the price. The server was attentive and kind. The owner stopped by to check on us several times. What more do you need? We will be back for more delicious dinners. read more

Oh, this place has my heart. We've been coming here for 20 years. My husband and I have done many a date nights and lunch here. He compares every single lasagna in the world (literally) to theirs. Still haven't found one better. I get tortellini vodka or chicken parm or balsamic chicken and I love them all! Get the dipping oil for the bread, it's yum! Say hi to Bianca or Vinnie (our go to staff)! Try the house cab, it's good and reasonably priced as well. If you can catch the live music, you are in for a treat. He sounds like Frank Sinatra. If you live in this area and haven't been here, go today! read more

Italian Bistro - Enjoying a cocktail from their bar... - Italian Near Me - Roanoke, Texas

Just not that good. We should have listened to the previous reviews. This review is based on what we ordered. Received the complimentary bread.... Was cold and hard not warm ... appeared to not be fresh. Next the salads arrived all 4 got coffee dressings and they all seemed very heavy w watery salad dressing. Next all of us ordered past dishes. They all seemed like frozen pasta that had been thawed and reheated. Tortollini Vodka very gummy and not much flavor. Spaghetti was average at best not much meat sauce on it. Next was the Spaghetti special w meatballs/ Sausage. Meatballs ok sausage didn't have any "Italian" flavor. Last pasta dish was fettuccini Alfredo w ham/ broccoli. We added chicken for extra protein. This dish was very watery and not really edible. Had literally 3 clumps broccoli and no noticeable ham, the chicken was white and tasted like boiled chicken. Service was slow , they were not busy. Overall average service nothing special. Just tasted like "cafeteria" level Italian food with no flavor. Many steps below Olive Garden. read more

One of my favorite Italian restaurants!! The fam and I went for a late dinner on a Saturday night after taking in the Christmas lights displays. We were hungry and thankful the restaurant is open later. It's been a number of years since we've visited. The entrance is moved to the opposite side of where we remembered. There is ample parking and the restaurant is large and clean. The staff is always kind and attentive. There was even a performer singing that evening. We ordered the pasta trio, calamari and baked ziti. The pasta was fresh and delicious. The calamari was crispy and flavorful. We used to frequent the restaurant when we lived closer to the area. Will definitely go back when we're in the area again. read more

Italian Bistro - Pasta combo - Italian Near Me - Roanoke, Texas

So my son decided to get a dish from here, that a friend had previously brung us from what (I'm now thinking it can't be!) this restaurant. It was an entree with chicken breast stuffed with REAL crab meat. With a pink sauce with portobello mushrooms and angel hair pasta. Three meal we had brung to us had even a decent salad and great rolls. This particular time I came in to get it for him for his birthday dinner. What I received wasn't ANYTHING like mentioned above. I was confused and called to inquire, the guy told me that this was in fact what I was looking for BUT it was evening and they prepared it different, this time there was no angel hair pasta which when ordering I asked and paid an extra 1.00 for and didn't get it out it wasn't prepared how it initially was. It was served with some sort of marinara red sauce in a separate container the chicken was stuffed with a crab like substance that wasn't REAL nor a decent amount. I got home a realized that there wasn't any garlic bread, so instead of driving back I called back and the guy who must be the manager/owner because this was our 2nd time speaking offered to have them delivered, which was an AWESOME thing to do! What I would like to do in the far future is go back and hopefully with the exact name of the dish my friend brought us initially and have that dish. read more

We celebrated my husband's birthday here in the back room with a group of men. We were treated like royalty! The food was absolutely delicious. The staff is kind, fun and attentive. Love their Jerusalem Chicken. read more

I'm not really a pasta Italian person but the dish I had here was good enough to make me rethink that theory. Plenty of options on the menu for just about everyone. One thing I wasn't a fan of is how loud and kinda dark the restaurant was. Others than that, great place! read more

Food and service is fantastic. Great menu options and we frequent as regulars here. Recommend to anyone

Very popular spot in Roanoke. Parking can be very difficult. This restaurant is busy, especially on weekends, so bring your patience. You'll likely have to wait for a table. Service staff here is friendly and they've taken good care of us each time we've visited. The restaurant is casual with decent spacing. It can get a little noisy at times. Dinner portions are generous and the food is great! We've always enjoyed the lasagna, eggplant parmigiana and chicken Marsala. read more

Good HH with only a slight upcharge from well to Old Fashioned. Very nice and helpful barkeep who made perfect drinks. Emma makes very good specialties. The stuffed mushroom apps are to die for. The proprietor came by to check on us - a very humble and concerned owner which is awesome. We were there on a Friday and it was nothing less than great. There was a guitarist/ singer and it was pleasant. The first guy in a long time who knew the volume didn't need to be ear piercing. Instantly in the list of local favorites- if I could give this place six stars I would as it's consistently great with a manager who cares for the patrons. read more

Not a great place. Wanted to try it but wish we didn't. Too slow service and the food is not even average. Italian in name only. People were nice but that's sadly not good enough. A true Italian palette would I believe agree. Maybe a pizza. read more

So so at best, the Lasagna was not very tasty, soupy, it was spread out all over the plate. Angel hair was cooked ok, but the sauce bland, & soupy as well. The meatballs were obviously from a frozen store bought pack. Salad & bread were good. No return trip in the future considered. read more

Service was slow, drink refills were slow and watered down. They use way too much ice. The food is good if it ever gets there. The temperature is arctic all the time. read more

This is a solid 3.5 mom and pop Italian place. It reminds me of my hometown Napoli's. Very similar menu options. I always love a pink sauce pasta. So I got the tortellini Michael Angelo. It's good. I had a pineapple mojito, it was very light tasting. Not strong in alcohol or the pineapple. I had a strawberry mojito my first time here years ago. I think that was tasted better and was in a hefty glass too. I sampled a friends italian margarita. It was a beautiful drink and strong too. I think their margaritas are a bit stronger. We had a couple of pizza for appetizers for our large table. It was simple but good. Thin crust. Overall, good restaurant. They've expanded over the years and it looks nice. read more

Great place with awesome service and amazing food! I called ahead and ask if they had a HH and was told 4-7 everyday but Sunday (thought that was weird because usually it would be everyday but Saturday ) we went anyway based on reviews. I was correct and no HH on Saturday or Sunday but the drinks where reasonable and the Bartender was great! I had a Manhattan and hubs had an old fashioned (8.00 is a good price for those kinds of drinks) Owner stopped by and help us pick out our entrees and they where all delish! I got a sausage and meatball dish and hubs the veal parm. All the meals come with house Salad and bread too! The owner even brought us a tomato caprice app on the house. The food was fresh and authentic and they had a great young man dining Frank Sinatra songs. read more

Eh, stopped in on a whim and it was just so-so. Ordered the fettuccine primavera and asked for meatsauce instead of marinara or oil/garlic. The salad was served, leaf lettuce and cheese with dressing, the lettuce was pretty wet and they failed to rinse all of the sand off- strike 1 My pasta came out w/o the zucchini (as described on the menu) and had red bell peppers instead- strike 2. The sauce was a combination of oil and garlic and marinara with a chopped meatball tossed in. Strike 3. Again lots of water left in the pasta and it was overcooked to create an oily, watery, chunks of meatball with a smidge of marinara mess. The waiter did not come back to check for a long time. We got the bill and the waiter up charged for the "meatsauce". We won't be back. Oh the rolls were good. read more

I love their pizza! Ambiance is pretty cool on the weekends with live music. Service was excellent.
