    Tiramisu
    Kelsey E.

    The Hubs and I got reservations for our anniversary. I definitely recommend getting reservations if it is on the weekend as all the tables were filled throughout the evening. We were seated right away and also greeted right away. We ordered drinks off the holiday menu, I got a cranberry spritz with limoncello. That was absolutely delicious and my husband loved his apple butter old-fashioned. The appetizers looked amazing but we didn't try this time so we would have room for dessert. I definitely want to go back and try the focaccia and the Arancini. We got Caesar salad salads, and for dinner we had the shrimp scampi with added artichokes and the sausage penne with peppers. We loved it! We shared the tiramisu for dessert with coffee and it was perfect! We are already planting our return trip. It is such a cute place with delicious food and great service!

    ------ Critics Review ------ Amazing! Go! Impeccably high-end trained staff and a real chef (Ali) who knows what's she is doing!! This place needs to be in the hot spots of Dallas - it's that good! So I walk I and a charming hostess who is well mannered greets me like I'm at The Mansion at Turtle Creek (Dallas). For an early 20's to be that refined and professional is unheard of. Now I'm at the table and another mid-20s is our waitress (Andrea). Impeccable service and highly trained. Immediately I know the owners of this place know what VIP customers expect. But wait!!! We are in the middle of nowhere - red neck fishermen land! We started at 5pm... and when we left at 7pm, the place was packed with people in line for tables. Impressive. Calamari: Herb seasoned and lightly battered - but the crust was crunchy, perfectly cooked, delicate meat and absolutely no rubber!! Delicate and incredible! The marinara is warm, perfectly seasoned balance of tomato and herbs. Hint of salt beautifully done. One of my favorites ever. Score: 10 out of 10 Shrimp Scampi: Obviously handmade pasta, perfectly seasoned and delicious sauce. Score: 9/10 Chicken Parmesan: Delicious. Great ratios of cheese to chicken. Ask for double sauce (not enough for the size of the dish). Chicken is pounded a bit too thin yielding a tad more dense protein - but still nice. (Could be 30% thicker which would increase the chicken flavor ratio.) Score: 8.5/10 Fettuccine Alfredo: Excellent. Well made with all the right ratios of what you expect. (Always ask for double sauce for a better dish.) Score: 9.5/10 Overall: 5/5 Go!!

    We were very pleased with the food here! I love you can substitute your pasta for gluten free. I will say the gluten free pasta isn't the best but very nice they have it.

    Cute spot for a little Italian date night! A nice gem off 380, for sure. Greeting and service (shout out to Oscar) was prompt, everyone was very attentive to their tables from what I observed, and the food was delicious! Plenty of seating when we arrived around dinner time on a Thursday night it did start to fill up) and they have an outdoor patio section if you want to sit outside. We tried the house made foccacia bread 5/5- bread is a must to start before an Italian dinner! I love a good flavorful carb, calamari-crispy, but the marinara sauce here is super thick imo.. I did I enjoy the second sauce a lot more, they accompany the calamari with marinara and a refreshing citrus herb flavored dip, that was tasty 4/5, lobster ravioli 3/5-again sauce was pretty thick and this time it was the pink sauce, pink sauce had great flavor, but I felt the lobster lacked in flavor (as a New England girl, my lobster standard is pretty high) so the dish was just meh to me..Chicken parm with upgraded pink sauce (thick)-chicken was moist!! a great portion size, pasta was well cooked 4/5, and tiramisu 5/5- authentic flavor-must try!! I would come back here again.

    The Mother's Day brunch was a delight. I ordered the Sausage, egg and cheese pizza Delicious! So large took home half. Dad ordered the Canoli French toast really hefty serving as well. He brought home 1/2 of his. Our daughter ordered the Chicken Picotta, it's her favorite an as usual it was great. Oh, did I mention $4 dollar mimosa's we had quite a few of those as well. When were here it feels like family. Be sure to check them out for yourself. The food was delicious, drinks ample and the service wonderful. Great open air seatings welcoming to all. I had the lobster ravioli win Vodka sauce. Not usually a fan of vodka sauce however this stuff is like nothing I have ever tasted. We have traveled the world eaten in some of the finest restaurants and man are we happy that they are just a few blocks from our home.

    Gnocchi in pesto sauce with parmesan.

    Dinner started with our server Alin remembering our favorite wine. The polpettte and mussels started us off amazingly! The pesto gnocchi was fabulous as always. Tried the lobster and crab stuffed pasta- the vodka sauce was divine!

    Not sure where my review went but we found this gem while in Texas visiting. Celebrated my birthday & our 44th Anniversary there 1st week of May. Out Server was excellent, food was excellent and we just loved it! Will be back when we visit again in a couple months!!

    Spaghetti and meatballs
    Nick G.

    The service was a 5/5, greeting promptly at the door and seated almost immediately. Our waitress was friendly, very attentive, prompt, and helpful. The staff overall was exceptional, i never even came close to running out of water and there was always someone close by. The ambiance was a 4/5, everything was clean and the tables were well prepped. It did seem a bit cramped as tables behind us kept bumping into our chairs. There was also a strong burnt aroma when we first walked in as well as again after we began eating. Food was unfortunately a 2/5, our bruschetta was very inconsistently salted. The first one was a complete salt bomb, the second was over salted, the third was the goldilocks one and the fourth was back to overly salty. Their calamari was good though and their accompanied marinara sauce was great and full of flavor. The gnocchi was bland, and the pesto that was supposed to be in it was unnoticeable. The spaghetti and meatballs was probably the most disappointing part, the noodles were way too thin, boarder line angel hair, the sauce tasted as if it came straight from the can, watery with no flavor, seasoning or anything added, just canned tomato sauce. The meatballs were extremely dry, crumbling into pieces as i cut through them with my fork, also lacking flavor and the whole leaf of basil on top was pointless. Overall, i sincerely hope that the food improves because this place has so much potential and it was completely full the entire time we were there. We will certainly try them again after some time passes to allow for improvements. I would love to see them serve some sort of bread to the tables. They HAVE to figure out the issues with seasoning and salt levels. Lastly, bring the flavor! A little bit of chopped basil in the sauce rather than the whole leaf on top would make a world of a difference.

    We went here last night for our anniversary dinner and it was awesome. They treated us so nice, greeting us with an anniversary card for the table. Started with calamari and two cocktails. Then for dinner I had the fettuccine with salmon and the husband had shrimp scampi. It was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly. We shared a cannoli for dessert. The restaurant was beautifully lit with candles, perfect for our night. The waiter was adorable and super attentive, I just can't remember his name. But he was awesome. Thank you!!

    Expensive for a small amount of food. $25 for chicken piccata and was a tiny amount of pasta.

    I used to love Marco's Pizza when it first opened, but unfortunately the quality has gone downhill…read more I've given this location not one, not two, but three chances after noticing a decline in taste and consistency, and each time it's been the same disappointing experience. Most recently, on Friday, I ordered a pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni, extra sauce, beef, and bacon. The pizza tasted completely different than it used to. The pepperoni flavor was off, and the beef was just sitting on top of the cheese, falling off the pizza instead of being embedded into it. Overall, it just wasn't good. I also used to love their cinnamon sticks, but the quality there has declined as well. They're always overcooked, barely have any cinnamon, and taste like plain bread. If it weren't for the glaze, there would be absolutely no flavor or substance. I'm not sure if management changed or if something else is going on, but after three tries with the same order and the same poor quality, I've decided it's time to take my business elsewhere. It's disappointing because Marco's used to be a go-to for me.

    Justin and Mark,…read more Your employee Merari is the worst employee EVER!!! I have worked in customer service all my life and am mortified by what we,as repeat customers,have just experienced!!! We placed a Togo order, picked it up, assuming everything we ordered was there and lo and behold you forgot to include a pizza. We called and asked if it was there and you didn't even make it. We asked for it to be delivered since it was clearly YOUR FAULT!! The guy said it was no problem and then we received a call from MERARI stating that " because it was a Togo order you can either come and pick it up or get a refund" wHAT? Why? We live down the road? I called back and could hear her conversation with her co worker about the issue instead of coming to the phone and she hung up on me. We will never frequent this place again and it should be no surprise to you that your rating on here is so low! I will be coming in on Wed. To speak with you Mark as this is utterly mind blowing to me. Is this the type of reputation you want? I highly doubt it
