Lunch special pizza
Raquel M.

The service was good. The place is a lot more spacious than it looks from the outside. I enjoyed the lunch special & added a side salad. I feel like the sauce could have had more flavor, but overall I was pleased

Small House Salad
Ricardo J.

I came here on 11.06.24 with some work buddies on their recommendations for pizza. The vibe is updated old school, and the service was top-notch right out of the gate. I opted for the small pizza (12-inch) that I custom ordered (see picture) with a side salad starter. The salad was delicious and generously dressed with their house dressing, which was like a Greek vinaigrette. My pizza was epic. It came out directly on a tray, which was pretty cool. Despite the real estate it covered, it had a super thin crust, so I didn't feel TOO guilty about destroying it. The sauce was tasty and balanced perfectly with the cheese. My pie was so heavily topped that it presented a challenge in eating it. The toppings were fresh and delicious, and I love a place that isn't stingy with their olives. For the total experience, I would come back. Maybe a lunch portion pizza would be better next time, but for my maiden voyage here, I left very happy.

Scalini s Combo Plate
Christina N.

This place is a hidden GEM!!!! The food is so good and the prices are even better! We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server was excellent. Happy hour is all day every day with $6 house wine (there is no happy hour because the prices are already exceptional)! My friends got a large pizza and I ordered the Combination pasta which includes spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, and ravioli. Everything was so good. The portions are huge! My two friends both were able to take the pizza home for another meal. With that said, a small size pizza is perfect for 2 people. Highly highly recommend. I would drive to eat here any time! Note: this is a hole in the wall, casual dining, great spot for a low key date night or to catch up with friends

Food: 8.9/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Here we go again, y'all know Italian is my favorite! Although I seek authenticity, I give this place their flowers most for food portion, vibes and seasoning their food good If you love a cute hole in the wall, romantic sounds of Sinatra, Nat King Cole & Other jazzy artists this is a spot for you! Great for lunch/dinner (haven't tried breakfast). FLAVOR is not something neglected here (unlike other restaurants attempting to serve Italian in Dallas, Tx). Highly recommend. GOOD FOOD SERVING SIZE

Enjoying the wonderful space and art!

Desire a casual, yet intimate Italian dining experience; Scalini's Pizza and Pasta awaits you! This comfortably sized bistro style restaurant, nestled in the middle of Lakewood's shopping, and dining area, offers delicious cuisine and generous portions for reasonable prices. The friendly Scalini staff are wonderful accompaniments to their vast menu of some Italian favorites, including yummy pizzas. For those seeking something stronger than a soda, there are beers and wines to quench your thirst. I'm not an outdoors dining person, but there are a few sidewalk tables for those who like to people watch. Hope to see you there! Xoxo Lorenzo!

Due' Concina delivers good Italian food the way it's meant to be experienced. It's simple,…read morethoughtful, and satisfying. The focus on fresh pasta is immediately clear. The texture of the al dente pasta, the flavor, everything is handmade, and intentional. Super yummy! The pasta itself is the star. Tender yet structured, it holds sauce beautifully without being heavy. You can taste the freshness in every bite, especially in dishes where the ingredients are kept minimal. Instead of overwhelming the plate, the sauces complement the pasta. Rich where needed, light where appropriate, and surprisingly balanced. What stands out most is the respect for ingredients. Nothing feels rushed or overworked. Each dish reflects a quiet confidence, relying on quality rather than excess. It's the kind of food that doesn't try to impress loudly, but wins you over through comfort and care. By the way they will be opening a restaurant in McKinney in the near future! Well worth supporting this restaurant!! The price per bowl is quite affordable too! January 2026

The service was fantastic, and I even had a fun conversation with the cashier who shares my name. Christina is so sweet! She recommended the white truffle mushroom pasta and helped me choose the pasta type - the creste de grillo and wow...life-changing is not an exaggeration. The food was incredible, the prices are very reasonable (I mean, averaging $14 for a pasta dish) and I was genuinely surprised by how quickly my order came out. I'll definitely be back and see this place quickly coming a neighborhood favorite.

You Make your way to the counter where the gentleman takes your order and gives you a number. We went with the Prosciutto and Hot Italian Sausage. The Prosciutto sandwich was super tasty with fresh ingredients and top tier bread. The Hot Italian Sausage was over to top and delicious. Great sausage and amazing bread with just the right amount of spice overall. The sauce they use could be a meal by itself. Super great sandwich! The whole experience was fun and we would definitely come back. Highly Reccommended!

It truly feels like you've stepped into a legit Italian market. It's packed--in a good way--but be prepared to rub elbows while you shop. If you don't have social anxiety, it's all part of the experience. We met another couple there for sandwiches, and they absolutely delivered. I had the Italian beef, which was delicious--but definitely spicy. I even asked for light peppers and it still brought some heat. So fair warning: if you're sensitive to spice, you might want to pivot to something else. My wife has been missing New Orleans, so she went with the muffaletta. Let's just say it was a much cheaper solution than flying her to the Big Easy. No gumbo on the menu, but the sandwich hit the spot. After we ate, we did a little shopping and grabbed some fresh Italian ingredients imported straight from Italy--which is always a win in my book. Great food, great vibe, and a true Dallas institution. We'll definitely be back.

He was handling multiple customers at once and never missed a beat. Super pleasant, very attentive, and made a great first impression. Since it was my first time, he even recommended how I should order my pizza so I could get two different kinds without having to buy two whole pizzas. That alone made the experience better. The pizzas themselves were a 10 out of 10. Both were amazing. I believe one was something like a meat lovers, and the other had peppers, basil, and a few other toppings. I honestly can't remember exactly what they were called, but it doesn't even matter because they were that good. My only note would be the sauce was a little on the salty side, so I would recommend easing up on the salt. Other than that, everything was great. I even brought the leftovers home and my daughter finished them. That says a lot. Overall, amazing experience and definitely a 10 out of 10.

Take a Night off from cooking and serve Holy Ravioli for Dinner!!!…read moreThey definitely sell/serve my Love Language of Food. We had a dinner party over the weekend and Everyone (!) enjoyed sampling the many flavors of ravioli and sauces. We also served the HUGE meatballs as appetizers with marinara & parmesan. Some of our parings were the Sunday dinner with marinara, but Any sauce would complement these ravioli. The mushroom ravioli with Alfredo sauce. The chicken quesadilla ravioli with chipotle cream, yum! The chicken gorgonzola with walnuts ravioli, which I served with my simple recipe of brown butter balsamic sauce. We also dropped off a lasagna with Bolognese sauce and the chicken divine to some family members and a chicken spaghetti to a neighbor who is on the mend. These casseroles also received raved reviews! Holy Ravioli, thanks for making our tastebuds dance! oxo

No room for dine in, more deli vibes where you can just pick stuff up at the counter. The sandwich was decent. Alfredo pretty yummy, definitely kinda on the greasy/oily side.
