Our waitress was very kind and attentive, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and feels very on theme. Our one note would be the young bartender who spent a lot of her time and our meal time complaining to her coworkers behind the bar and in the office near the bar which was located very close to our table. This was a bit distracting, but does not affect our rating, just a note for management! Highly recommend stopping in for yourself!

My wife and I went here for our Valentine's date. Its a cute neighborhood Italian restaurant that…read moreserves food that's much better than you have a right to expect in a suburban mall. 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 actually were going to a different place to eat but they were closed. So we stopped at Roman…read moreCucina with no idea what it was like. We were pleasantly surprised. 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. There was so much that I ate 3 meals out of it. We'll be back.

Stopped by for Mom's birthday dinner with my parents and in-laws! It wasn't super busy yet on a…read moreTuesday night when we arrived around 6 but progressively got more packed as the evening went on. 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!

Cute Spot, But Service and Food Fell Short…read more Walked in and my first impression was that the place is small but cozy, very pretty, and has a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly, but she didn't really check on us after taking our order. We had two beers and would've ordered more if she had come back. On a positive note, the bread she brought out was delicious. We started with the calamari, which unfortunately were bland, overcooked, and chewy. The sauce served with them was just spicy without much flavor. For mains, the vodka pasta tasted more like mac & cheese--no trace of vodka sauce flavor, though the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. The eggplant pasta was okay, but not great. The eggplant was supposed to be crispy, but since it was smothered in sauce top and bottom, it turned soggy, and the pasta was overcooked. Overall, I'd consider giving it another shot because the space is so charming--maybe it was just an off day.

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.

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.

If you enjoy dining at a place with really good food with a nice simple vibe, you should treat yourself and visit A Roma Italian kitchen. It's one of McKinney's hidden gems!

I am not a huge pizza lover because being dairy free usually means dry crust with crummy toppings, but not at Cavalli's! The service was incredible and the pizza just as amazing. I ordered a Build Your Own, adding all sorts of yummy veggies and skipping the cheese. This was by far one of the greatest cheese-free pizzas I've ever had. It's been three days and I'm still dreaming about the pizza. The crust was perfect, the sauce was the best balance and the toppings were plentiful and fresh. Three of my friends ordered the Arugula and Prosciutto pizza and loved theirs as well. I devoured every last crumb, I couldn't help myself.

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.
