The lasagna was absolutely to die for--perfectly layered, comforting, and unforgettable. We also had the steak, which was cooked beautifully and complemented the meal perfectly. The service was top notch from start to finish, attentive without being overwhelming. What really stood out was the ambiance--it was so elegant and inviting, it honestly felt like we weren't even in the RGV. A perfect spot for a special night out or when you want something a little elevated. Highly recommend!

I want to take a moment to recognize the outstanding service we received from Daniel Martínez at…read moreBrunetta Wine Bar - McAllen, TX. From the moment we arrived, his attention to detail was exceptional. He was professional, friendly, and genuinely attentive, making us feel truly welcome and valued as guests.

Because of him, our visit was more than just dinner; it was a wonderful overall experience with top-level service. You can tell when someone truly enjoys their job and takes pride in providing great hospitality. We will definitely be returning, and a big reason for that is Daniel's service.

After reading the previous reviews, we decided to come here to settle our Italian cravings. I love…read moretrying new and unique dishes and the Salty Pear pizza was the perfect item on the menu for me to try. It was amazing! The cheese, pears and balsamic glaze all joined together to make a fabulous dish! My husband had the Pepperoni Pizza and he said it was great. Btw, they make their own dough for the pizza and it is perfect. Our friend had the Shrimp Scampi and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant is clean and offers comfortable and spacious seating and pleasant decor. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. We will be back and we hope you will go, as well. They have 2 additional spaces for groups and special occasions and they have a step down lounge adjacent to the bar with tvs going - perfect for watching the game! Please go! You won't be disappointed!

I saw this restaurant on an Instagram post and the food looked really good so we had to try it…read more We started with the spinach artichoke dip and that was delicious! We also ordered a regular pepperoni pizza. The pizza was really cheesy, which I loved but I think it could have stood to be in the oven a couple more minutes because the center was a little too soggy. But the outer crust was nice and crisp. I ordered the tortellini bolognese. The pasta was cooked nicely but the sauce did not taste like traditional bolognese sauce. It tasted like regular meat sauce. That being said, I enjoyed the taste of the sauce but it was not worth the 20 dollar price, especially since it wasn't even bolognese. The service was nice. Our waitress was attentive and since we were the only ones there at the time, our food came out pretty quick! The space itself was clean and felt homey. Would have loved some Italian music but we enjoyed ourselves either way. All in all, this place was ok, not great but definitely better than some other Italian places I've been. With a few improvements, their food could be really great!

A group of our friends went to OG after a Candle Light Service at church. We joined the Wait List…read moreas we left church and only had to wait five minutes for our table after arriving. Service for our entire meal was outstanding. We were provided with our drinks and fresh hot bread sticks within a few minutes. A short time after that our waiter took our food orders and after what seemed like a couple minutes he brought us our soup or salad! He even brought us another basket of breadsticks with our soup/salad without us asking! Very, VERY GOOD SERVICE. He refilled our beverages as necessary and then our food began to arrive. I'm not a huge OG fan but the food was decent. The wife and I split an entree - The Tour of Italy with Fettuccine Alfredo, Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan. He made sure the order was portioned back in the kitchen so we didn't have to do it at the table, which was nice. Although the food at OG is always salt forward, we enjoyed our meal nonetheless. We even had leftovers which were boxed up by our server and bagged for us. All in all we had an enjoyable meal with our friends, thanks to our waiter.

Definitely have a nice bar and areas for intimate discussion or open areas to enjoy with family or friends.

The address is a section of businesses, and the restaurant is located in section "D" of the complex. Once we entered, we were confronted by a very friendly staff who told us to sit wherever we would like. There was already a table of about 15 people, so that was a good sign. Ordered our drinks which were delivered very quick. Friendly waitress took our food order, and food was out in under 10 minutes. Portion sizes were very generous! I ordered the chicken parmigiana with fettuccine Alfredo. Wow!! It was so good! My husband ordered the eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti and red sauce and enjoyed it. While this was by no means the best Italian food I have had, I was amazed at the quality of good and the friendliness of the staff. I did not expect good Italian food in McAllen. Highly recommended!
