Gorgonzola chopped salad, no gorgonzola (goat cheese subbed)
Pete G.

With some time to kill in Terminal D of DFW airport, I was in the mood for a good salad, and I decided to give the Italian Kitchen a try. I'm glad I did. They had several salad options. I love a good chopped salad, and they had one - the Gorgonzola Chopped Salad. But I'm not a big gorgonzola fan. The waitress was wonderfully helpful and suggested subbing goat cheese instead. Brilliant. Lettuce, bacon, pepperoncini, red onions, cucumbers, radicchio, tomatoes, and dressing (and goat cheese). Incredibly fresh-tasting and crunchy, with a nice kick. Far beyond what I expected for airport food.

Food was pretty good. The portion size was tiny for the price. Ambiance was decent. Service was alright but took a while to take my order. Overall it was decent but I don't need to come back here.

I stopped in between flights. I ate here a couple of years ago and was a little disappointed. Well, they've redeemed themselves. I had the Gorgonzola Chopped salad which came with bacon, pepperoncini, cherry tomatoes, red onions, lemon vinaigrette. It was delicious. I also ordered the Meatballs Al Forno which was two big meatballs served with tomato sauce, grated parmesan cheese, and grilled crostini. I was strongly recommended this dish! The service was also very good and professionally performed. The restaurant itself is kind of standard fare but does have an open kitchen concept which was nice. All and all it was a great experience and a great meal on a long travel day. They are located in concourse D and can be reached by either walking or taking the tram.

IF MEATBALLS COULD CRY I'm so sad for this meatball sandwich. Somewhere Wolfgang Puck is crying or laughing all the way to the bank. There is no way this iconic chef would proudly walk this sandwich to my table and tell me to enjoy it. The reality is he sells his name to the airport restaurant managing group and literally has no quality control. Money talks for sure! The Meatball Sandwich sounded great with aged provolone, pesto aioli, parmesan and house-made chips but for $17.00 it's not worth the value. I know it's an airport but the restaurant is so beautiful. They should stand up and make this meatball proud to be on a bun. Speaking about the bun..it was dry and close to being burned. It says aged provolone but I tasted zero age on the cheese. It was bland and boring like a mozzarella. Plus the meatballs were so tiny and then they cut them in half before putting them on the bun. My second half of the sandwich was mostly bun like a vegetarian sandwich. Where's the beef? My beef is with how sad the meatball truly are. I'm crying sad tears with the meatballs.

Zero personality. Stopped in to grab a premade salad to go. It was close to 10 so maybe they were getting ready to close but it was clear the employees didn't want to be bothered. No greeting. No acknowledgment. Nothing. Just close and be done.

I don't understand the bad reviews, though I'm sure things could have changed dramatically recently. We all know airport food is way overpriced, but I feel this might be the first and only time the price matched. Food was delish and the presentation was on point. Lastly, my server was the best kind - attentive, perceptive, and helpful. I think they all do this but he did check in about when my flight boards. He could sense I wasn't in a chatty mood so just checked in quickly when appropriate, but was still very friendly. I really felt he valued my time and experience. I wish I got his name!

5/27/25- Walking around the terminals and came upon the The Italian Kitchen-.. Not too hungry but they didn't sell pizza by the slice-.. Pizza has six slices -.. Went with a margarita pizza- Hope it's good- Okay it's good!.. I even ate the crust! I ate two.. Crispy crust with a nice tomato sauce.. not too heavy and not skimpy..

Margherita pizza with added mushrooms
Jim B.

We were seated quickly. The servers were dressed professionally and were polite. Nice decor. Our table was sticky and had crumbs on it. Comfortable seats. Quiet music. Unfortunately they give you straws with your ice water without asking first, which, looking around, few people use. We had a margherita pizza and added mushrooms. It was decent for airport food, but with a very dry and crispy crust.

Egg white omelette toast and what was supposed to be fruit but got subbed for ...potatoes? I wouldn't have ordered this
Chelsi U.

I recently had breakfast here at the DFW airport. Overall, it was a decent experience. I had a long layover so I had a bunch of time to kill and I wanted to sit down and enjoy breakfast. I ordered an egg white omelette, which is supposed to come with fruit and toast. However, it arrived with potatoes instead of the fruit. Since I had a long day ahead of me I wanted a lighter meal so I was disappointed that they ran out of fruit. I expressed this to the waiter and he and the manager went and found some fruit in the back which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely consider returning here for breakfast should I travel through DFW again.

When we travel out of Terminal D, this has been a stop for us. The hostesses will quickly seat you and the wait staff will make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy your food before your boarding time. Always comfortable seating at a table or hightop. Plenty of wonderful food options and of course cold beer. And if you need to charge a device or plug in your laptop, power is available. Make sure you stop by and give them a try and enjoy!

Turkey bolognese
Gloria H.

Well, I was waiting for my flight and I thought I would have something filling since I have a long day of flying. I had the Turkey Bolognese with whipped Ricotta cheese. Also a side Caesar salad. The food was as generic as the name of the restaurant. The Caesar dressing is not homemade and the croutons were probably out of a box. The turkey bolognese 'Meh' the pasta was terribly over cooked and there was a lot of liquid at the bottom of the bowl. For $19 there should have been fresh shaved Parmesan. Parmesan came in a ramekin but if you wanted more it came in a salt shaker. The highlight was the service. Domingo was very pleasant and handsome. It doesn't hurt to look at a good looking face when you're eating so so food. He gave great service with a smile.

This was a great find at DFW. The restaurant was nice. We sat at a high-top not far from the bar. The menu was streamlined, but with good options. I got the chicken club sandwich and my husband ordered the caprese sandwich. We both enjoyed our food. That said, the egg on my sandwich was hard and not over medium, but it still tasted good. And the chicken was incredibly thin, but again it all tasted great. The seasoning on the fries was on point! The service was good (and fast) and the prices were reasonable, for an airport. We will likely stop in again when we fly through DFW again.
