This food is very good. First the house dressing is like a tomato vinaigrette it's delicious. Second the Alfredo sauce is top notch. The chicken Alfredo is very good. Chicken is grilled which adds another element of flavor, Alfredo sauce is creamy not gritty. I tried the chicken Maximo. Something different for me. It was also good. Not near the flavor the other items had but was still good. Servers were present and ensured a pleasant experience. The dining area is slightly dim but not dark which I appreciate. Kinda typical non chain Italian restaurant vibes but dang the food is good. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pepperoni and Pineapple
Rodger D.

It's a busy Tuesday night, after long day of work and an hour drive home on the toll road. Hungry and need a place to forget the day. We enjoy the vintage Italian style of this place, it's like going back in time to another place. Glass of sweet tea and a slice of pepperoni with yes ! Pineapple! No judging, it's great. Grab your partner or your family & stop by try a slice for yourself. Happy 2026 !!

Tiramisu

Went here for anniversary dinner and the food was amazing. Got two different pasta dishes and meatballs. Also had bruschetta as an appetizer. Everything was well made and delicious. Only knock on this place is lack of liquor license and no wine available. Service was great and ambiance was pleasant with music playing in the background. Recommended for sure, but I'd probably get take out next time.

Did we go back to Italian garden? Why yes, yes we did! It's the food and the warm, loving atmosphere that brings us back! We even had the same waitress we had last week and she recognized us, which was a pretty nice little moment. As usual the food was excellent, service is always good, and it's just a wonderful little restaurant! It's like walking into your Italian mother's home, only I'm not Italian, but I'm just as welcome!

Shrimp alfredo

Best Italian we've had (The restaurant I went to in San Diego doesn't count). I asked for the veal piccata but ended up getting served chicken piccata. The dish was so good I didn't even mind the mishap. This was the creamiest piccata I've ever had and I still think about it today. The restaurant itself had a family feel to it. Lots of families/close friends were at neighboring tables having a great time.

Chicken Florentine
Raquel M.

This food was really good! Enjoyed everything, the Italian wedding soup, house salad, chicken Florentine, the chicken & asparagus pasta was also good. I loved the music, the service was also very good. So glad I found this place via tik tok

Ask the Community - Italian Garden

Alcohol or beer?

No they don't serve it. Since it's family owned they have minors working there so yeah nah.

Do they have gluten-free?

No, it's heavily traditional

Is this the same "chain" that had a location in Lubbock?

Nope. This is a family owned place here in Mckinney that my family, friends and even my bosses have been going to for 10 yrs

In town from NWA for the weekend and we were looking for a romantic spot, specifically with GF…read morepasta. Will call this a hidden gem for anyone, but especially for travelers since it's off the beaten path. Every member of the staff we encountered was friendly. They have a lounge upstairs. The main dining room is lively and inviting. The space is tight keeping you from an intimate experience. The tastes in both plates were fresh and flavorful. The menu notes GF pizza, BUT they also offer GF penne. My only complaint was not having bread to soak up the glorious cream sauce on my scallopine. For the GF crowd, it can be hard to find fresh Italian dishes that taste less than the normal dishes. Outside of the substitute pasta, you wouldn't know the gamberi was GF. This restaurant is now on our list of those we have to visit when we're back in the area.

Went here for dinner and not confident we will return. We had 5pm reservations and arrived right on…read moretime. At the time of arrival we were the only ones in the place. We were a party of 7 had appetizers, drinks, entrees and desserts. The food was good but nothing special and amazing. I would give more preference to the food than I would the service. At 620pm the waitress asked us to leave as there was another party needing our table. Again we were there an hour and 20 minutes. Our bill as most had multiple spirits and wine was $400-500. I wish they were just a little more polite than you need to leave as there is another party with an upcoming reservation. Maybe a little warning. We grabbed our belongings and went and got a drink at the Landon winery. I will post the pics as I said I feel like their food is decent. They are a small quaint place in downtown McKinney and were busy when we left.

The house Manhatten was delicious with subtle adjustments to the traditional recipe. The Arancina Tradizionale is a fried ball of tasty saffron rice, stuffed with Bolognese and peas. Its a great appetizer with lots of subtle flavors. As an entree I had the Cacio E Pepe, the famous pasta prepared in a wheel of pecorino cheese and covered in fresh ground black pepper. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the cheese was creamy and mild, and the pepper nicely balanced the richness with a mild spice. I ordered shrimp on the side and it was well seasoned and nicely charred. My wife had the geilled salmon and loved it. We didn't really have room for dessert, but since everything else was so good, we couldn't resist trying the Tiramisu and Strawberry panna cotta. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. Be prepared for European style service and you will leave satisfied.

The menu I think had a good variety of entrees to choose from, and we both ended really liking the dishes we ordered. I ordered the pasta bolognese, and it was great. The pasta was cooked right and the sauce not super over powering. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. My only complaint was that seating is a little cramped, and everyone including the restaurant staff had to maneuver around chairs, etc. but other than that we really enjoyed our visit.

We ordered the…read morepepperoni cagliaritana, Caesar salad, TNT panini, small three cheese pizza, and tiramisu and every single thing hit. The cagliaritana had the PERFECT ratio of ingredients and the crunch on the pizza was unreal. Everything tasted and smelled insanely fresh. The Caesar was loaded with freshly shaved parm and somehow tasted way better than a Caesar salad has any right to. I think the croutons were also homemade? Perfect! The small three cheese pizza was also perfect -- great crust, great sauce-to-cheese ratio, and honestly the perfect size to split with someone alongside a salad. But the TNT panini?? Holy crap. The second you unwrap it, the smell of the garlicky focaccia hits you immediately. And the pink sauce was some of the best I've had. The tiramisu was also the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It wasn't overly sweet and soggy like most in this area. Cannot wait to try the cannolis! After years of searching for real Italian food, I finally feel like I found it. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavor, and genuinely kind people. The owner (or who I believe was the owner working the front) was so friendly, accommodating, and transparent about timing. We ordered ahead online and everything worked out perfectly. Already excited for the leftovers and cannot wait for another visit!

The sandwiches are huge. The sandwiches are filling and delicious…read more All'Antico Vinaio? Who is that? Great Italian takeout place and the owner. There were so many other items that we wanted to try. Will absolutely return. Oh, and the BEST Tiramisu i've had in a LONG time, bar none.

It looked expensive from the outside but it wasn't. We were seated right away. They brought us some good bread to nibble on while we ordered. The tea was a little weak but I'm very picky on my tea. We ordered parmesan and garlic bread for an appetizer. It was huge and super tasty. The dipping sauce was very good. We also ordered a spaghetti bolanase.

We didn't realize until we were ordering that they do a BOGO half off deal on entrees every Tuesday, as long as everyone orders an entree. As a result we definitely had too much food on the table but it was nice for our party of 7 to try a bunch of different things! I didn't have time to take pictures of it all, but we started with the bruschetta and the sautéed mushrooms. Bruschetta came out hot and great as usual, but the mushrooms were a bit salty. The complementary salads were nice and light and our servers were great at refilling waters and bringing out more free bread throughout the night. For our entrees, we ordered the creamy lemon shrimp pasta with spaghetti, the eggplant parm with fettuccine, the lasagna bolognese, the shrimp spezia, the tortellini bolognese (one of the specials that day), and the dolce e salato & cesarini pizzas. My favorite items of the night were the dolce e salato pizza (the sweet and savory combo was excellent and the crust was light and fluffy) and the shrimp dishes - the shrimp was cooked very well. I'm not a big red sauce person but the bologneses were also pretty good. The long noodles were a little mushy in all the sauce but the tortellini was not bad. Portion sizes were huge so we took three boxes of leftovers home! And one of the ladies at the host stand helped us take some nice group pictures outside the restaurant after our meal. For a solid local red sauce joint that will fill you up and then some, look no further!
