Nicks Salad
Jamie S.

Well we were hungry and the lights were on. And we were happy we stopped in. You can tell this is definitely a family run place, the staff was so very attentive and welcoming. There were some things I couldn't get pictures of because they were eaten so fast. The garlic knots....if you eat nothing else just get a basket of those fluffy flavorful pieces of joy. The nick's salad was really fresh and tasty. The hubs was very quiet while eating his chicken parm and so were the kids. That was the best fettuccini Alfredo I have tried in a very long time. Great for a family dinner, date night or out with friends.

Decor is simple and reminds me of the mom and pop shops in Italy

This was such a cute gem and I will definitely be telling others to make the drive. The filling in my cannelloni Alfredo was flavorful. My husband said his pizza was the best he has had in a long time. Our server was sweet and was fast with answers to questions and the delicious bread knots. Definitely try if you aren't in the area. Make your way there and it won't disappoint

Spaghetti and meatballs
Barbra M.

We stopped in on a Saturday evening and were happy that we didn't have to wait for a table. Our server, Julie, gave us a gracious greeting and was quick to bring out 4 nice size bread twists that were soft and hot. I don't think they were garlic rolls - or if they were, they could have used more garlic. (We like garlic rolls). We did get our garlic fix, however, with the soup of the day, which was a creamy garlic with chicken. It had a great flavor (very garlicky) - but the chicken was undetectable. My husband ordered his normal - chicken Parmesan. It was a very generous portion- especially for the price. The chicken was tender, nicely breaded and crispy and came with a huge portion of spaghetti smothered in a chunky tomato sauce. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were very light in color - I had a hard time figuring out how they were cooked so that they didn't brown. They tasted good, though. There was something about the sauce that I didn't like - it was chunky and fresh - but it almost had a slight fishy flavor that made me wonder if it had anchovies in it. The portions are generous, and the price is great. I'll give it another shot and try something with a cream sauce next time. The lobster ravioli tempted me this time, so that might be my next choice.

Receipt

The food was very disappointing and nothing like the pictures.....but the service was horrible! I ordered delivery from thier website because doordash didnt have the stromboli. I but didnt receive the 3 meatball order which was for my son. When I called the restaurant, her response was "well you can drive here and pick it up." When I mentioned that I couldn't do that (which was the reason for ordering delivery), she just said we are busy and you have to call the delivery service. I ordered for 8 people and the only plates that were good was the stromboli and the kids spaghetti. The salads were basically chopped lettuce only. The kids spaghetti and meatballs (plural) only came with one meatball. The eggplant parmigiana, homemade baked pasta didnt come with pasta (when I asked the restaurant about that she just said "it doesnt come with pasta." As you can see on the receipt it clearly states it it comes with pasta. I would not recommend this place to anyone. We got a refund from the delivery co. for the order of 3 meatballs we never received and was a bonus because the kids didnt like the meatballs aftterall.

The chicken special with frozen chicken patties that they reheated.

Oh my... Italian Garden in Spring Branch... We had such high hopes. My husband and I went here for dinner last night. We were very excited to try the new restaurant in Spring Branch, and really wanted to like it. The inside is ok. Clean, looks dated, but we don't really care. It could look like a dilapidated joint, but if the food is good we will come back time and time again. As soon as we were seated, we received warm bread. It was good, but needed something... I think it was supposed to be garlic, but there wasn't much flavor. So, we ordered the dipping sauce (olive oil, garlic, spices, cheese) which, was $2.99. This was somewhat off putting, but hey... Everything is expensive nowadays. We did really enjoy the bread with the dipping sauce. I ordered the special. It had chicken with kalamata olives, capers, garlic, and sundried tomatoes in a lemon butter sauce. My husband ordered veal saltimbocca. Both came with soup or salad and we both opted for the salad and balsamic vinegar dressing. Well, this is where it started to disappoint... The salads should change their name to Bowl of Iceberg as that was it. A bowl of iceberg lettuce with 2 old looking tomatoes on top. And, the lettuce was room temperature. BUT, the worst part of the salad was the dressing. It wasn't balsamic dressing, it was simply balsamic vinegar! Holy Molé! I thought it looked a little liquid-y when I poured it on my salad. I started coughing when I took a bite. It was completely inedible. Neither of us could eat it. When our waitress came over she asked if we liked it and I said no. I also told her that we didn't think it would just be vinegar for our salad, and she just smiled and took the salads away. On to the entrees. They came out piping hot. YAY! They looked pretty good, so we could hardly wait to taste them. My husband's veal was ok. There was no prosciutto in it, like in every other saltimbocca we've ever had. It wasn't very flavorful... But it was better than the salad. My meal was subpar. The flavors did not really go together. It was overloaded work garlic... Actually looked like it had a whole bulb of garlic. But the worst part was the chicken. It was FROZEN CHICKEN. THEY HEATED UP! How do I know? Well, it has the fake grill marks on it, was super thin, and the consistency was off. All in all, we will not be back. It's sad bc we wanted to like Italian Garden. We prefer to support small, local businesses. However, we can not, in good conscience, refer others to eat here.

Sausage Arribata
Gary B.

You must try this little gem which recently opened in a former Mexican restaurant, tucked away from the busy traffic. We came at lunch and I had the sampler which included lasagna, manicotti and cannelloni and my wife had the sausage arrabiata. The sampler's sauce was light and not too sweet. I couldn't say which was better, although the lasagna was one of the best I've had in a long time. My wife's arrabiata was amazing. The sausage was savory and with the peppers in the sauce, was a nice blend of flavors. Our server, Anahi was on top of her game that day and took care of us! I have to admit the garlic bread knots they bring out were bordering on sinful. We passed on seconds (sadly) to ensure we didn't fill up before the main course arrived. They have an amazing menu and we will be back to try other items on their menu.

The restaurant is in a quaint little corner. The service was exceptional. Our server was very attentive. Always had a smile. And kept our drinks full. The food was delicious. We had the chicken Alfredo (lunch serving). It came with our choice of soup or salad, we chose salad. It did not disappoint. The music being played in the restaurant brought back many wonderful memories. Dean Martin, Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra and Lou Monte to name a few.

Delicious! Hands down the best Italian in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area. The staff is young but beyond helpful and hardworking. So far my favorites are the lasagna and pizza! The bread is absolutely delicious and the butter, even though it's prepackaged it's absolutely delicious.

Eggplant parmigiana
J B.

A friend and I went for the first time on a Tuesday night for our monthly get together. We found excellent service and both got wonderful eggplant Parmesan dishes. Highly recommend this spot for some good non-chain Italian food. I will caution that if you want wine with your meal, it's BYOB - stop by HEB before you get here!

Cheese and Sausage pizza
Rita A.

This is the second time ordering a pizza to go and it was amazing! the crust is thin but crunchy and has the perfect amount of toppings and cheese. This will definitely be our go to pizza ! I highly recommend.

Daughter loved her chicken sandwich and granddaughter gobbled up her fries and chicken nuggets. We had fountain drinks, lemonade and tea. Next time I will go for the Butterfinger shake - they looked fabulous!

It came with a salad with avocado slices which was fine. My friend ordered 2 little street tacos and a side of rice and beans. It's a order counter type of establishment where you place your order and they bring your meals on a paper plate. It was challenging because I had to ask for a knife and extra fork so I could cut up my fish and place the bones and pieces on 2 other paper plates because the fish was so huge and deboning wasn't easy. Utensils aren't set out so you have to ask for it at the order counter. It wasn't exactly easy to eat but the fish was tasty, dirty rice(?) was tender and so was the salad. I couldn't finish everything so I asked the waitress for a container. The styrofoam container held my leftover fish, rice & salad but I had to split my fish in order to fit. I should've asked for a piece of foil. The tap water from the soft drink dispenser was kinda chemical tasting so I hardly drank it. Inexpensive prices & festive atmosphere. Was pretty busy for a Thursday during lunch.

About a week ago, my son hit his head hard at the register and immediately began crying. As any parent would, my focus shifted entirely to comforting him. What stood out--and not in a good way--was the cashier's response. I noticed her exchange a look with the bagger that came across as annoyance and even threw in an eye roll. She didn't say a single word to check if my son was okay. There was no acknowledgment, no concern--just silence the entire check out process. To make matters more uncomfortable, my son happened to be holding a fidget spinner that he brought from home, and there seemed to be an assumption that he was attempting to walk off without paying for it. The lack of empathy felt disheartening. I understand that not everyone naturally responds with warmth, and of course, my child is not theirs. She was a young girl. Still, basic human kindness goes a long way. A simple "Is he okay?" would have made a meaningful difference, Even "hey here's some bravo bucks" I left as quickly as I could to care for my son, but looking back, I do wish I had taken a moment to speak with a manager.
