    New menu!

    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!

    Love the ambiance and good food! This has been one of my favorite restaurants for many, many years!

    This was what we got, I didn't eat it I was disappointed.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We live nearby and wanted to try this place after we saw the positive YELP reviews. Once again,…read moreYELP for the win!! 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!!

    Pastaza in Trophy Club keeps things simple, and that choice pays off…read more The menu sticks to Italian basics. Nothing feels padded or overworked. What lands on the table tastes careful and confident, like a kitchen that knows when to stop. Sauces feel balanced. Pasta comes out cooked right, not rushed and not tired. Portions make sense. The dining room is clean every time I visit. That sounds minor, but it sets the tone. You trust the food before the first bite. Even the cheese pizza makes the case for the place. It looks plain. Then you taste it. The crust has structure without going stiff. The cheese melts evenly and carries real flavor, not just salt. It is the kind of pizza you keep eating without thinking about it, then notice the plate is empty. Pastaza does not chase trends. It focuses on doing familiar food well. That guardrail is likely why it works.

It wasn't…read morevery busy, and while waiting to be seated, we could see the inside had a nice, cozy ambiance. We chose to sit outside on the patio since the weather was great--but unfortunately, that's where things started to go downhill. The ambient Italian music was playing so loudly that I could barely hear myself think, let alone have a conversation with the person sitting across from me. Service was... fine. Our server was polite and did her job, but nothing stood out. The host, on the other hand, seemed visibly annoyed that we asked to sit outside, as it meant he had to clean off a table for us. As for the food, it was honestly very underwhelming. Everything ranged from mediocre to bland. We ordered salads, cheese bread, a "Tour of Italy," chicken parmesan, and cheese ravioli. The cheese bread looked like something my eight-year-old could have made--but surprisingly, it was probably the best thing we had. The sauces across the dishes were extremely bland, almost like they came straight out of a can. At one point, I'm pretty sure my ravioli were burned on the bottom. For the price, the quality just didn't match up at all--it felt overpriced for what we got. I remember reading another review that said this place is rated well simply because there's nothing else like it nearby, and honestly, that felt spot on. This seems like a case of convenience over quality. If you're really craving good Italian food, I'd recommend making the short drive to Highland Village and eating elsewhere. Overall, this place is mediocre--and I'm being generous when I say that.

    I'd like to start this review off by saying we almost didn't come because of the crappy reviews I…read moreread here on Yelp. Music too loud, crowded, pizza is too thin....... Listen, those people have never been to Europe (small restaurants with close seating and loud music!), have probably never had real Italian food and don't appreciate the Italian culture. I'm married to a man who is 100% Italian (first generation to be born in America). This place is ITALIAN!!!!! Don't come here if that's not your vibe. Don't give bad reviews due to your lack of understanding- they are AS ADVERTISED. I also read it's not a good place for kids- yes if you think they are going to go run around. But we had two of ours with us and they also loved it! Not a good place for big groups. Alrighty, I feel better now that I've shared that! Let's talk food! Porterhouse Steak, isn't on the menu, a MUST HAVE!!!!!! It's $135 and worth every penny. Could feed 2-3 adults. Probably the best steak I've ever eaten. Ordered medium rare and that's echos it came. Absolute perfection! *This was the only really pricey item on the menu- everything else was decently priced. Margarita Pizza- perfect! Great flavor! Thin crust and delicious! It's the size of a medium pizza. Ravioli- nice portion size and great flavor! Service was great and we LOVED the loud Italian music and celebrations for a birthday and the fire cheese dish. From an Italian family- it's worth a visit.

This past week, I think it was on Fort Worth Foodies on FB , a post read "Where can I find octopus carpaccio?" "Hahaha", I thought. Cat's trolling us. "Octopus carpaccio". Hilarious. Before calling him or her out it occurred to me as I don't get out much I better make sure, so I Googled octopus carpaccio. Au contraire. Mea culpa. It's a thing! A thing I knew I had to try as soon as I could find it. I Yelped Italian restaurants in FTW and found two that serve it. Only one of the two at lunch, which is when we eat, Stella in Southlake. So we went today. Stella is a very attractive, very welcoming trattoria. Very cool open kitchen bar along one side. Prompt, attentive service and lovely cloth napkins at lunch. As for the octopus carpaccio? Wowzer! Buonissimo! Stella's rendering of the dish is beautiful and delicious. It is topped with savory, mild pink peppercorns; peppery arugula and EVOO. This super thinly sliced, tender, melt in your mouth polipo is just so good. We followed that with the beet salad. The organic red and gold beets are a feast for the eyes. They are likewise super thinly sliced, topped with dollops of creamy goat cheese, finely minced pistachios and EVOO. A show-stopper presentation and again absolutely delicious. These shared dishes were accompanied by a bottle of crisp Italian Pinot Grigio making for a perfect light Friday luncheon. I'm seeing frequent lunch visits to Stella in our future.
