Beautiful place! We were told everything was made in house and from scratch. I had mama's gravy pasta and I could tell pasta was from scratch. I made it a few times myself and it definitely has a chew to it. The sauce was good and the meat was delicious! They had pieces of braised short ribs which are my favorite!! The donuts were amazing for dessert. Overall great atmosphere and the servers were great! Will come back read more

A 7 pm reservation, we were celebrating the birthday of my boy, we didnt feel like driving to Dallas and stayed close to home, excited that there was a nice dining establishment that wasnt part of a processed food chain. If you have IBS, this is the perfect place for you, as your gut wont be irritated. -Spaghetti & meatballs looked like what I imagine Chef Boy-ar-dee would look/taste like. The meatballs were void of any flavor at all and the sauce was lite. At best these were the same quality as Sam's club cocktail meatballs. Returned. -Chicken Alfredo -ordered Chicken Alfredo but what we got was chicken parmigiana. The server was apologetic and acknowledged that it was she who made the mistake. Kudos to her for owning the mistake openly. When the correct item arrived, the chicken was undercooked, pasta gummy, and the sauce was beige in color with no flavor, not even salt. Returned. -Red fish 2 in my party ordered this and we both agreed that it could've been seasoned more. Fresh fish doesn't usually require more than salt & pepper and a grilled lemon. When I got to the center of the filet, I saw the bloodline, even in the dimly lit dining room. At this price point, chef needs to learn how to remove the bloodline during his prep!!! Total turn off!! The fish was topped with crawfish in a light cream sauce that was a nice touch. The top quality risotto was superb and the grilled cherry tomatoes were really good but hard to detach from the vine. The broccolini was too undercooked, nearly raw and hard to cut w/a knife. This could be a perfect dish w/ a revamp and a tad bit more seasoning. Appetizers cheese toast and a charcuterie board. Well all i can say is this must've been good because after I returned from a quick phone call the platters were cleared. I missed out. Caesar Salad drowning in dressing, so much so the empty plate contained enough dressing for another salad. The one with chicken was undercooked- I think because by now they have messed our entire table up and were rushing the order. We all ate at different times. Sirlion Mashed potatoes were underseasoned and bland, chimichurri sauce was really good, not overly oily. Im told the steak was good. We all ate at different times, because nearly everything had a problem and had to be sent back, ruining our experience. So much for neighborhood dining. Wont return. With all the mishaps, this meal should NOT have cost a dime but somehow we still wound up spending nearly $200. The server was nice. Front of the house mgr, was clueless on what to do to turn the situation around. Ambiance was really nice. Not sure why a reservation was needed, there were plenty of tables inside and on the patio. read more

I really wanted to like it. I really did. The staff were great; they were friendly, energetic, and apologized when it took a while to get our food because it was just the second night the large patio was open and the kitchen was struggling to meet the added demand. Much of the food was really good, like the carbonara with chicken and the lasagna, but the Caesar salad was just okay with what tasted like bottled dressing from the food supplier, and the pizza was neapolitan style in most ways but with a thicker and chewier NY-style crust. It was good but a bit odd, especially with the more delicate toppings like slices of tomato and spinach. The bruschetta appetizer was fine and tasted okay but it wasn't anything that exciting, and it was a bit on the small side. The price, though... I know places are way more expensive these days than most of us are okay with. It takes time to wrap your head around the rampant inflation that took place during the last six years, and I'm still getting used to the new normal. So I expect prices to be above what I still think stuff should cost, but I also expect to get value for the higher price, and some dishes achieved that, but others like the pizza and the bruschetta did not. $10 for five small pieces of toasted French baguette with some grated parm and some soy Italian cheese and a bowl full of marinated halved multicolored grape tomatoes just puts a bad taste in your mouth. The value just wasn't there. The atmosphere on the patio is really nice, especially on the nice evening we were there. The weather was perfect and the vibe was chill, although it was fairly hard to hear, even being outside. So, yes, the food is good, but it's not great. The experience was good, but it wasn't great, and I don't know that we will return. read more

Great new spot in Fate. The decor is hip and lively and the food is fresh and very good. We ate at the bar and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I was impressed with the wine list. The prices are very reasonable. This contrasted massively with the bottle I had at Nick & Sam's the night before. I selected My Favorite Neighbor (a great little California Central Coast find). It is clear that they put a lot of money into this spot and I hope that it makes it. This is a great addition to the local food scene. read more

Great vibes, great for large crowds. Came with a crowd of about 16 and were seated fairly quickly (had reservations). The food did take a long while to show up, but we had a very large crowd. The servers were attentive and kept us hydrated as we waited for food. The wait did not disappoint. I had the seasons beet salad which was balanced and delicious without being overly acidic. Their classic wood fire cheese pizza was fresh and paired well with the salad. We also ordered the mussel appetizer (drowned in a delicious sauce) and the mussel pasta (a generous portion but a smidge underseasoned for my taste). I saw the chicken Parmesan someone ordered and it was as big as my head. Will surely be back to try more pizzas and other items. Oh, and for a pretty busy restaurant, it wasn't overly loud inside and we could still hear each other over the table. read more

Our whole experience was lovely and the atmosphere was open, warm, and friendly. Our writer, a Jordan, was pleasant and gracious and fit right in with overall atmosphere.

What a treat to have this restaurant in our little town of Fate. read more

Sauce & Vine - Italian Near Me - Fate, Texas

We ventured out to downtown Fate last night and had the most amazing dinner at Sauce & Vine! It's a new upscale Italian restaurant that opened 2 weeks ago. The first thing I noticed was how large and spacious the inside of the building is. Reservations are highly recommended as we learned that they only take walk-ins at 5:00 pm when they open (fortunately we arrived when they opened!). If you don't have reservations, there's a long spacious bar with ample seating along with a nice little table for 2 tucked in the corner. The tables all have white tablecloths and either little "lamps" or tiny candles. The waiters all give a polished appearance in their white uniforms just like you'd find at any upscale restaurant. Service was amazing! Our server, Michkaylee, was very attentive and personable. This place was first rate all the way! And I haven't even gotten to the food! I was told the speciality Italian Margarita was one of their more popular drinks and it did not disappoint! The shrimp & crab imperial dip came served with a combo of toasted French bread and pita bread and was delicious! My husband ordered the lasagna and I ended up ordering the chicken Parmesan which was AMAZING! Last, we saved room for the tiramisu dessert. You would never know this restaurant has only been open for two weeks with how smoothly everything ran. We were seated towards the back of restaurant were we could see everything happening in the open space kitchen. They offer a nice selection of Neapolitan pizzas made in their fancy copper imported Italian pizza oven. Even the cutlery was fancy!! This restaurant spared no expense! If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, be sure to check out Sauce & Vine - you will not be disappointed! (Just make sure you call early to make a reservation). read more

First time at this new gem. Highly recommend reservations. Atmosphere is very upbeat, but loud. My wife and I split cheese bread and the Caesar salad. Both were very good and the salad was definitely big enough to share. My wife had the shrimp scampi, shrimp were huge and she enjoyed it very much. She had leftovers. I had the appetizer Spiendini, a combination of meat shush kabobs and sauces. It was very tasty and filling. Our friends had the salmon, and said it was one of the best salmon dishes she had eaten.her husband had Mama's Gravy and said the pasta was fresh and the dish very good. Overall a little expensive, but portions were large, so justified. Our server was very attentive and shared suggestions. Definitely will go back. read more

We were very excited to finally try Sauce and Vine, and the atmosphere alone did not disappoint. The space is beautiful, welcoming, and has a great energy. We were even seated earlier than expected, which was a great start. We started with the charcuterie board and bread, and both were excellent. The board was well put together with a great variety, and the bread was fresh and flavorful. Drinks did take awhile to arrive, but our waitress was upfront about there being a backlog at the bar, which is understandable for a newer restaurant still finding its rhythm. I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka, and it was fantastic -- rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It's definitely something I would come back for. My wife ordered the chicken alfredo, and unfortunately it wasn't her favorite. Lacked the same depth of flavor as my dish. Overall, we still had a very positive experience. The environment alone will bring us back, especially with the outdoor patio and the park next door -- perfect for families. This place has a lot of potential, and I'm confident the small early bumps will get worked out. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Food has potential but did not live up to expectations. We have been waiting months for this place to open. The place is very beautiful on the inside. I made reservations and when we arrived we were seated immediately. They put us at a small table in the corner. Served was very attentive. We ordered a pizza and sirloin steak medium Well. The pizza arrived and the pepperoni and sausage looked and tasted of quality. I pulled a piece from the pie and the middle was soggy. The outside of crust was semi crispy. I rate it a B. If they had just let it cook a little longer the crust would have been much better. A few minutes after the pizza arrived our waiter came over with Parmesan. I was curious why it didn't come out with the pie. The steak arrived at the table and my wife and I split it. When she cut into it I could tell it was way over cooked. Worse part is it had no flavor. A little salt goes a long way. The mashed potatoes it came on were bland, no butter flavor or seasoning. The waiter asked us how our steak was and I told him it was way overcooked. He apologized but never offered to have it remade. My wife will be out of the country on Valentine's Day and I left a comment on our reservation regarding this was an early date. No mention from anyone. Here is another weird thing we noticed the place hold 300 + plus people but the bathrooms only allow room for 2-3 at a time. This is going to be uncomfortable for people when they are busy. We were disappointed. On our way out no one thanked for stopping in. We are foodies and dine all over. I am a yelper so this will be on their site as well. I really hope y'all do better in the future. read more

We were sat at a dirty table. 30 minutes past our reservation time and we still didn't have drinks. For the inflated price of the run of the mill Italian dishes I would have expected better service. We ordered drink, then an appetizer, we were asked if we were ready to order (our main dishes) when we hadn't even received drinks. read more

Top notch for Fate; no expense spared on the facilities ( at least 2 million invested). Food was really good ... but not top notch yet. Pork chop for $39 ... not as tasty as Outback. Redfish was good but not in the race with Papacitoes or Raphas. Great date nite venue and will only get better. Great bar and vibe. Kudos to the owners! read more

With many excellent Italian options in the Rockwall area, this place does not cut it. Staff was slow and spent way too much time talking and laughing amongst themselves. Menu was inaccurate of the food you get. For example, the Chicken Parm said it came with marinara pasta but instead came with Alfredo pasta. Only reason it is a two star instead of a one star is the fact that the building itself is pretty cool and a nice place to be, although way too brightly lit for an Italian restaurant. Add to that the fact that they only take reservations despite being at a conservative 40 percent capacity to be generous, and that's a no from me. read more

a pleasing atmosphere, open feeling, food excellent, great wine selection. Excellent Staff. plenty of parking. Get reservations

This was our second visit, and unfortunately our experience wasn't great. I ordered the chicken parmesan again, and it was literally a quarter of the size compared to last time -- very disappointing for the price. We also waited over an hour for our food and only got an update after we had to ask about it ourselves. To make matters worse, the wine on tap ran out of every red option, and service was very inattentive -- we had to repeatedly ask for refills on both wine and water. Consistency and service really matter, and sadly this visit missed the mark. Hoping this was just an off night, but it definitely didn't match our first experience. read more

We have recently moved out of state but come back to TX often. Based on previous reviews I had seen, I knew we needed to check this place out and I am so glad we did. We started with the cheesy bread which was perfectly buttery, crisp and cheesy. We then moved onto salads (house with house vinaigrette and caesar) - both were also outstanding: fresh, crisp lettuce, just enough dressing, and wonderful combinations of flavors. For our entrees, we did the gnocchi, spaghetti, and rigatoni. Wowza!!! I am not even that big a fan of meatballs, but these were delicious, our friend that ordered the gnocchi cleaned his plate and we all sampled and loved the rigatoni. Perfectly fresh al dente pasta (chef's kiss)! Finally, we saved room for dessert: zeppoli and cannoli. While the cannoli may be delicious, it just did not stand a chance next to the zeppoli. I could have lapped up every bit of the cream and jam with those!!! As if the food were not enough, we had the most incredible service and this is out go to Italian restaurant from now on. I cannot wait to go back!!! read more

At first glance it's a very nice place. Great design and decor inside and out. Unfortunately the food was ok but not great for the price. I chose the chicken Parmesan on recommendation of a friend and it left much to be desired. The chicken was very dry and chewy. And no extras came with the meal like a side salad or bread. The service was just ok. They seemed annoyed that we wanted ice with our water. I wasn't impressed and will not return. read more

We have been three times to this restaurant and now have a standing Friday reservation. The venue is gorgeous, food has been solid and service great. They have only been open for three weeks so that must be taken into consideration as well with some of the weaker reviews. Definetly a great spot for date night. read more

Wanted to love this place but unfortunately couldn't. Waited 20 minutes for our drinks which then arrived watered down, and were $15-20 each. Appetizer was good, all of our entrees were unfortunately tasteless and cold. Tiramisu was good but the rest of our desserts weren't good at all. Service was extremely slow and we ended up getting moved to accommodate another table (no biggie but then the service lacked). Unfortunately will not be returning. read more

I think the best thing about this place is its service. It's been great the 2 times we have gone. The food however is not super great. It almost feels like they want to pass this place off as really nice and high quality but the food seems pretty generic quality. It's not bad but I would equate it to chilis level. So it's fine, but I think it tries to come off as something better. Jury is still out if I'd eat here again. I think we just have too many options to think is the best place to spend money. read more

Before anything make a reservation. The doors open at 5 and that's the only time they have open seating and there will be a line always. This place is great. It just opened and is super busy. We made reservations . The decor is really nice and the seating seems to be spread out pretty good. You can see them making pizza too. The service was really good. We took our time eating and we were not rushed at all. The portions were big and the drinks are strong. The fried cheese appetizer was perfectly fried and gooey. I had the clams casino. It was good but not my favorite. The pasta was gummy and stuck together. My husband had the carbonara and that was fantastic. Also the tiramisu is a must. The menu has plenty of options too. Honestly a great date night place. I did ask and we were told hopefully they will open for lunch in about 2 weeks. read more
