We wanted to steer clear of the rain, so we stepped in for an appetizer and drink. We were greeted immediately, and since they had open seating, we sat at a table. They have an extended area with a window viewing, great for large parties or scenic seating. The staff was very attentive. The restraunt was very clean and seemed to have a good steady customer crowd. The complimentary bread rolls were warm and doughy, perfect with the spreadable bread. The menu has quite the selection and at a very affordable price. It was hard to choose, to the point where our waiter had to give us more time twice! In the end, we opted to try the stromboli filled with mushrooms, pepperoni sausage, and mozzarella with marinara on the side. It was perfect, not overly breaded, easy to eat, and the marinara wasn't overly acidic! Thankfully, we decided to share because it was pretty large. We noticed many of the plates walking by came in large portions so this is as an FYI if you'd like to go family style. For dessert, we chose the creme brulee, which was the best, lightest sweetness to end the meal. We are happy to return and try more dishes! read more

Burrata was amazing, wish it was a bit crispier. Risotto was good but it was not medium rare, it was well done. Free bread was good read more

What a nice restaurant! Lovely service, nice interior, and good food. I visited when touring apartments in the area, and the idea I could walk on over here for a good time definitely helped with my decision. read more

It's been awhile since I've been here and it was a pizza I picked up for take out! This is a nice restaurant with patio seating. My husband and I decided to come here for lunch during the week. We opened the door to see all the other people in line to order their food. I believe that's how they do their lunchtime. I ordered a slice of all meat pizza with a side salad and rolls and my husband ordered a slice of Margherita pizza and a pepperoni roll. After we received our food we seated ourselves at a table. The food was pure awesomeness! I cannot wait to come back to try something else! read more

Great little italian spot next to the canals. Great vibes and location. Really great date spot. We shared a pizza and they let us do half and half with different flavors. Would definitely come back. Perfect spot to grab a walk around the canals or lake before or after dinner. Service was attentive and friendly. We got half the philly cheesesteak and half the vodka pizza. They were both good. The vodka one is just cheese pizza with vodka sauce. The bread they served was not great. read more

This little Italian spot is a staple. I go here about two to three times a month to get some good pizza and pasta. Love this place down! I eat here so much you would think I had pics. The service is always good. I don't dine in much; I just take it home. It's a family-friendly atmosphere. read more

Everything was great, especially Cafe Focaccia and its tomato sauce. However, the short rib pappardelle was a little salty and I am not sure my boyfriend and I like it. Other than that, we had a nice little date. We came here because I had a 10k the next morning and we tried to have a carb loaded meal and this is a great meal for that! read more

We had excellent service on the busy July 3rd and July 4th holiday. We met some friends there before the fireworks how on the 3rd. Amazingly, they had great service and great food. We were staying at the Omni and they did have great food options for dinner. We ended up going back for a 2nd night in a row. The food and service were great again. We will definitely go back again. read more

The food was fine, nothing special as far as Italian food goes. Maybe the pizza is better. The service was kind though and they're able to accommodate bigger groups. read more

Came here for lunch and the menu was extensive! There is something there for everyone. The pesto chicken sandwich was tasty and their homemade lemonade was great! It was very busy during the lunch rush so if you do come during that time, be prepared for a little wait. read more

This place is amazing! Gnocchi in vodka sauce! Missing it now! However, I live in Austin and this is in Dallas. Hope it is still open!

This is my first time here, and the Chicken Parmesan pizza was delicious. Ms. Luz took excellent care of me; she even helped me find a place to park my car. Upon entering, she served my table; she was very friendly and attentive, recommended other dishes, and made me a delicious cappuccino. It is truly a pleasure to visit a place where the food is delicious and the staff--like Ms. Luz--treat you so well. I will definitely be back; I was absolutely delighted! read more

Just moved to Dallas the last two years and I cannot find a pizzaria that comes close to NJ/NY pizzas. A buddy from NJ recommended this location. Who would had thought they have a section of the restaurant to look like a typical pizzaria in NY. The first time I've tried this, the wife surprised me with a pepperoni and mushroom pizza that she picked up while out. It was good. We then eventually came to the place to try it out at the restaurant and the pizza still didn't disappoint. Service was good. Food came out fast. Ambiance is nice as it was a nice day out and there's outdoor sitting. If we live closer, this will always be my go to place. If you like NY style pizza, don't skip on this place. read more

Good service, nice ambiance in terms of decor and design, food was okay. Spaghetti better than the Chief of Staff's pizza but do note that we're originally from Chicago. High pizza standards. Like all area restaurants, it seemed a little overpriced for the quality but the main problem I had was we were eating on the nice outdoor patio and seated not that near a small group of loud, foul-mouthed not that young women who were too intoxicated and ill-mannered to be allowed to misbehave so long. There were children in families also near by, and yes I'm an old fashioned old man, but I still don't expect to be subjected to this sort of boorish disturbance over lunch. read more

Everything about this place is calling me back for more. Santos our server was kept very busy with add on orders to take home. We had orders for chicken piccata, real beef lasagna, and spinach salad with a nice piece of salmon on top. Everything tasted delicious and was served at the perfect eating temperature. Great place for lunch or dinner throughout the year with outside dining on Las Colinas blvd. Highly recommend for holiday meals. read more

Straightforward suburban setting to sing the pizza-pasta song. Walkable from the nearby Omni. Enjoyable overall. Pleasant patio.

Loved this place! It was super close to our hotel and my son wanted pasta. We ordered calamari and garlic cheese bread, both were great and their marinara sauce is so yummy! My son ordered their chicken fettuccine Alfredo and said it was some of the best he's ever had...not easy compliment from a teenager. I had a side Caesar and their chicken, spinach and mushroom Stromboli and it was delicious. They have great outdoor seating and a decent size indoor area with a bar and lots of tvs. It's a loud and welcoming place. Service is very friendly. Appetizers took a bit to come but the dinner items came super fast. We were here on a Friday night and the place filled up wicked fast and I know why...good service and great food for an incredibly reasonable price! If you go, check out the lake with gondolas...you can walk around it and it is truly a lovely experience...especially when the weather is so nice outside. read more

Used to go to this place quite often but hadn't been back in about a year. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if they changed management or what but the food quality has gone down and the prices have gone up. Service was good and everyone was kind. We used to love the bread basket they would bring out as the bread would be fresh and hot and unfortunately, the bread this time was different and quite stale and dry. My mom and I have always enjoyed the Caesar salads, but they no longer have homemade croutons on the salads. My husband has always gotten pasta dishes from here and he did not enjoy the pasta this time as well. read more

Convenient if you live in the Alesio but I'm not a fan of the changes! Slight menu change which included removing my favorite dish (the chicken lasagna). Recently came to dine-in during the lunch hours and was given the dinner menu. I was told that the lunch menu/prices were only available if I got up from my seat, walked to the back, ordered and paid in advance. Also this didn't come with "table service" and I had to carry my own bread, drink and utensils. Overall the food is still good but the service could be improved. Service at the bar is better & the bartender named Lady is awesome. Happy Hour is decent. read more

Change is good until it is not. Brand new nice menus are good. Changing the rolls to a less tasty roll is not good. Taking your favorite item off the menu is not good. Serving the wrong tea was awful. I often like to try new things, but changing the items that made Italian Cafe in our top 3 regular places....not good. read more

Best Italian food in all of DFW. The service is welcoming and has a very good charm all around

Everything I've tried here is awesome...the lasagna is the best I've had in my life. Such a great little "mom and pop" place, and the service is always great. Love their garlic cheese bread too...it's different from anywhere else and it's delicious. And their Cacio e Pepe is amazing. So glad I found this place! read more

We highly recommend this Italian Cafe in Las Colinas. We had several places to choose from along the canal and we chose to dine in this place in hopes to be able to bring our out-of-state guests here someday. My husband and I loved everything that we had. From the dinner rolls, Caesar salad, tomato soup, Frutti Di Mare and personal supreme pizza, everything was delicious. We were honored to meet Chef Harry. He was very humble and gracious as we complimented him of his great food. There were outdoor seating, seats at the bar, dining area and extended private dining area which over looks Las Colinas Blvd. Italian Cafe also offers a number of Italian pastries for anyone looking for cannolis or creme brûlée and much more. Chef Harry has found a great location and what a respectful man read more

If I could give more stars, I would! We were in town for two nights and kept coming back because the food was just that good. The pizza slices were delicious, with a great variety to choose from. The pesto sauce was incredibly fresh, honestly, the best I've ever had. And the homemade pasta? Absolutely amazing--the best I've ever had! I'm already craving it again! read more

This is Italian! Quaint spot in Irving serving up some AMAZING fast-casual Italian delights! When you first walk-in, you are greeted by a handsome bar and a friendly folks. You have an option to either take a table and order fro. The menu or just step through to a quick service area, that serves pizza by the slice! They also offer the same menu items, just packaged up for on the go! My husband had a Ham & Cheese Calzone that was piping hot, and airy to the point when you lightly pressed on it, steam escaped from the seam! I had the Panzanella Salad with Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella, Pepperocini, Tomatoes, Olives, and Arugula/Spring Mix with a perfectly cooked Salmon on top! If your looking for great Italian and a friendly atmosphere, make the trip! They had covered outside seating too! read more

excellent environment friendly atmosphere. watch a game and eat well with a full bar. The vodka pizza i had was really good.

Food was quite good. We were traveling through and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was friends too

Went here for lunch with my family on a Saturday as they were heading through DFW on their way back home. Loved that they had a patio for their doggies to hang out with us while we ate! The food was delicious, from the pasta, to a salad, to a very large sandwich, everything was really tasty. I do wish they would have brought rolls or something to our table, and at one point we had to go inside to ask for refills because our waiter never came back to check on us, hence the loss of a star. If they can work on that service and make sure they are being attentive to those on the patio (we weren't alone, either, there were quite a few tables full of folks out there, all of which were being neglected) I can raise this up to 5 stars. Will likely be back at some point. The portions were fairly generous, and I took home half of my extremely large sandwich to eat later. Reheated great! read more

Excellent! We stayed at a hotel down the street and ended up going 3 different times. Best spicy bloody they used horseradish, salads with homemade dressings, baked homemade bread and New York pizza crust. We shared a ham sandwich that had an amazing bun, pickled onions and sliced ham. Enjoyed the pet friendly patio, the people and the service! Thank you! We will be back when visiting Las Colinas!
