    Short Rib Pappardelle
    Megan L.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Calzone

    A cute place for lunch . Went with a friend and got the calzone - they allow you to build it the way you want and I got the feta cheese , onion and mozzarella, with tomato sauce . It was excellent !! I will come back to try some nugget items

    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.

    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.

    Italian Cafe is our New go to place for sure, we ordered Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti, Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich, Chicken Marsala and Ravioli fritti, every dish was beautifully placed, delicious and quality ingredients. The staff was respectful and polite. Attaching couple photos. What else does a customer want? Quality food, ambiance, taste and a good time!

    Vegetarian Pizza, Salad My family is pretty carnivorous, but this is the one place we will make a huge exception. The vegetarian pizza is incredible!!!!! We get the XL and my parents can devour it in one sitting on their own. Salad was solid. Cute place in Las Colinas

    I ordered a custom 18-inch pizza with Alfredo sauce and chicken--amazing! The Hispanic gentleman wearing a SOX hat was very kind and attentive with my order. Outstanding professional customer service skills

    Calamari and garlic cheese bread
    Denise R.

    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.

This…read morearea has become of gem of a location in DFW for dining, and Monaco brings a truly elevated and upscale experience to the area. This is my updated review. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Monaco is one of the prettiest restaurants in all of DFW. Dark wood and dark blue seating invite you in. The bar is stunning, with back lighting highlighting their drinks. There's also an outdoor seating area, including a wind shield - perfect when the weather is nice. This is a great spot for a weekend date night if you want something outside of Dallas. 1 Star. Service - Everyone was very nice. We were never rushed, all dishes could be customized to order, and I never had to ask for a refill. Nothing but good people here. 1 Star. Food - Let me start by saying presentation matters, and the dishes at Monaco are great for your Instagram or Yelp feed. I started with the roasted oysters. I chose it because the description said the oysters are "topped with bone marrow butter". That, combined with the roasted breadcrumbs, added a nice crunchy and smooth texture to the delicious oysters. For my main, I went with the Salmon St. Harve. This beautiful dish had a perfectly prepared salmon. Soft and flaky, but with a crunch from the skin at the bottom. It was served on top of grilled asparagus and topped with a cream sauce that brought everything together. Delicious. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's not a secret that I love Water Street. This is an awesome area in the heart of DFW, and I'm so happy there is an upscale restaurant like Monaco that has amazing food. 1 Star.

The vinaigrette leaned very citrusy, which overpowered the dish a bit, but I couldn't help thinking that adding some goat cheese would balance it beautifully and elevate the whole plate. Then came the pasta bolognese... and that's where things went downhill fast. The ricotta was completely flavorless, the meat was tough, and overall the dish lacked seasoning. It was honestly one of the most disappointing bolognese dishes I've had. One more thing that really stood out: the interior has carpet flooring. In a food establishment, that feels deeply unhygienic and off-putting. 1/5 stars -- a strong start with the appetizer, but the main course and overall experience completely missed the mark.

The restaurant was very full, and we only planned to quickly grab a decaf cappuccino and some bread at the bar. I am 36 weeks pregnant. There was one open seat at the bar, and the two people sitting on either side were with other guests and did not appear to be leaving anytime soon. I asked the gentleman who had just stood up if he had closed his tab, and he confirmed that he had. Based on that, and the hostess directing us toward the bar, I sat down while my partner stood next to me. When we went to order a cappuccino, the male bartender immediately told us the bar had a waitlist and that the seat was "reserved." There was no reserved sign, and the guest had literally just vacated the seat. I explained that I was only grabbing a quick cappuccino and would not be there long. I even said, "No problem, I won't be here long," and made my intentions clear. Instead of working with that, he told me he would have to ask me to get up. I would have been perfectly happy to move once the party arrived or if the seat was actually needed. However, the interaction was handled abruptly and without basic courtesy or flexibility. What makes this more disappointing is that we had actually enjoyed the restaurant a few nights earlier. During that visit, Ashley took care of us and she was an absolute gem--warm, attentive, and exactly what great hospitality should feel like. I would highly recommend sitting with her. I had even met one of the investors during that visit. While I don't frequent Il Bracco regularly, I do know many people in the Dallas hospitality industry, including owners and operators, and situations like this are exactly the kinds of service breakdowns we discuss so they can avoid them in their own restaurants. Unfortunately, after this interaction, I will not be returning. The bartender's approach to guest interaction and basic hospitality needs serious attention. Good luck guys!

I've never had anything that wasn't perfectly prepared, flavorful, and served the correct temperature. And that's what really matters in a restaurant, of course. But the vibe is odd. I can't put my finger on it. It's "clique-y". Every time I come, I walk into an empty restaurant with no host. And it seems I've walked in before they opened. They have lots of private events which are walled off with weird partitions. And they sometimes (according to others I overheard) completely close down for private parties. I don't ask for much. I require very little attention. I grossly over tip. And, yet still I feel very unwelcome in this restaurant that I have frequented several times. I don't get it. The other customers were very nice to me, but the staff seemed annoyed by my presence. It's bizarre. Anyway, the food alone earns them a top rating. Pro tip: Do NOT sit at the bar. They don't tell you this: but it's for the regulars. You'll feel like you've wandered into a party you weren't invited to. AND.....order the Prince Edward Island mussels!

My husband and I walked in 15 minutes before the restraint closed, and we were met with a smile from the greeter. No one rushed us, no one complained that we were coming in at the end of their shift.
