Italian Plate and Pepperoni & Mozzarella Pizza

The food was amazing, my sis and i stopped by for a little dinner date and ordered the Italian Specialties (might be a diff name) and a classic 12in Pepperoni pizza. I must say the Italian gave me a bite of everything needed Lasagna, Spaghetti, meatball, and a ravioli. the only weird thing is that the ravioli tasted like Vienna sausage meat but the meatball meat and the lasagna was perfect and tasted good. Service I will give a 7/10 not really engaging or caring but it was nice cuz my sis and i like to talk but sometimes our drinks ran a little low.

When we first go there, the staff was very friendly and quick. We started off wish a fried calamari and a delicious green chile potato cream soup. Absolutely amazing. For the main course I ordered the chicken parmigiana and build your own pasta. The chicken was lightly breaded and very juicy. The build your own pasta Green chile Alfredo sauce was delicious. Overall the setting was very homey and cozy. They do offer outside seating. I will definitely come back to try something different.

Antipasto salad add $4

We were very pleasantly surprised with our dinner at The Italian Kitchen. The restaurant is tucked away on a side street with a small patio and a quaint little dining space and when we arrived we had almost no wait. Our meal started off with buttery, toasted bread and salads. I had the antipasti salad and it was good but it was an extra $4 (I'd stick with the house or caesar included), but the Italian dressing was made in house which was nice. All the food was yummy! The sauce on the scallopini said "spicy" but it wasn't - it was very good though! The sampler was a good choice too, although the lasagna was the least favorite. The pizza was great! We were very happy with the entree size, we all had leftovers. The restaurant was busy so the service was a little slow but the staff were all very friendly and happy. This definitely beats those big chain Italian places - both in quality and price.

Nice looking pizza!!!

So yes I am a good Italian home cook, but sometimes I don't have the time to chop, grate, shred, simmer and bake to get great taste. Tonight I ordered delivery from The Italian Kitchen West. I have enough food for about four more meals! What I was impressed with is that they must have read my mind and that I was going to divy it up between several meals so they gave me enough toasted and buttered Italian bread to go with the soup, the lasagna for two meals, the salad and the calamari! So the tiramisu- that did not stand a chance- it is gone! The food was good, very tasty but perfectly seasoned and arrived hot! I had a third of the lasagna and it was so good.

Usually when we come here to eat the food is delicious & the service is good. Tonight my plate arrived and it was cold. The waitress never came back to check on us once. I had to ask for a box to take the food home and heat it up. My daughter's plate was like warm as well. This place has a cute vibe but tonight the people at the table next to us talked so loudly during our entire dinner that we could not even hear each other to hold a conversation. We were very dissatisfied tonight with this restaurant.

Beautiful patio

Let's show this LOCAlL some love El Paso peeps! This is a great Italian restaurant on Westside. I am not of fan of chains and yet why do we keep going there!! Yuck frozen food warm up We had eggplant parm so yum!! Note this restaurant takes a while since it is made fresh be prepared. Recommend: Date night: Outdoors bottle of wine Get an appetizer and a salad and dessert. This will be sure to impress any 3rd date prospect. Other tables around me kept ordering desserts and they looked, divine. I was so friggin full from 1/2 my plate. Service was perfect, We are adding this into our restaurant rotation.

WARNING DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME Decided to give this place a try ordered the lasagna, angel hair pasta with chicken (kids menu wanted to do a tasting before we ordered a larger more expensive portion). For dessert ordered the tiramisu. EPIC CULINARY FAIL!! Lasagna: one layer of MINCED meat sauce, three layers of low budget imitation cheese. It was dry, under seasoned and over baked! Angel hair pasta with chicken: OVERDONE , sticky, gooey mess, the chicken was dry and over cooked. OBVIOUSLY it was a frozen bagged chicken breast. It was under-seasoned, dry as hell and carved with a butter knife!! So so sad and pathetic waste of money. Tiramisu: Sloppy, tasteless, soggy, overpriced, boxed imitation disappointing disaster!!! IT WAS SLICED like pie !!!! Then covered in artificial Hershey's chocolate syrup. The layers where mushy socked in a brown liquid that left a horrible after taste in my mouth!! It completely fell apart when I put a fork in it disgusting!!! MIA the filling, lady fingers and powdered cocoa!! This was at best a frozen Mississippi Mud Pie!! Unfortunately this was not the worst part of this nightmare!! Someone had the audacity to put burnt buttered bollios in a brown paper sack!! I guess this was the chefs version of garlic bread!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS TOILET BOWL!! LOOK AT THE PHOTOS PLEASE!!

We went with a group of 15 (wife's siblings and spouses)…read more All I can say is that this was the best "large group" experience of my entire life. Usually, large group seatings brings service glitches, food glitches, less than optimal food temperatures and less than optimal drinks service. Trattoria Bella Sera absolutely nailed our experience with professional perfection every single element of the experience. Our group cherishes the times we can be all together and this wonderful experience is deeply appreciated by all of us. The food: Just stand out in all regards from the simplest pasta and red sauce (in my case, the cherished puttanesca which I make often at home) to the seafood and pasta white sauces, to the appetizers which we all shared (OMG, try the mushrooms in cream sauce and the bread and garlic!). The service: a single waitress took all our orders and she was just perfect. The plate delivery and eventual removal was a team effort and all were served at the same moment. Even the plate removal was done perfectly by the waitress and the bus lady. The dining room: We were set aside and a little out of the way of other dinners in a large high ceilinged room with really exceptional lighting and decors. Result was it was quiet enough that we could comfortably talk before, during and after the dinner which really added to the whole experience. The cost: One of the siblings picked up the tab but simple pasta plates are mostly $18 (my puttanesca was $2 additional and very worth it), then the $24 pasta and protein plates, then the $26 higher end plates and the $30 3-course plates. Note that most pasta plates are served in deep bowls with 1/3 of the sauce at the bottom and very hot so that the entire dish stays hot through the meal. Star ratings: If I could give them a 6 star rating I would.

Food really good garlic bread is the best but in my opinion the sauce isn't the best. A great…read moreserver didn't get their name though, little wait but not too long especially 8 people ordering food. Ambience is nice feels like you're in a rich persons house many statues and plenty of seating especially a second floor great if you like Italian food.

Y'all I legit shed tears of joy when at long last after years of missing Cappetto's my wish came…read moretrue. Cappettos is back offering their food through catering services! Available for free pick-up or delivery with a delivery fee. *I'm in a Cappetto's Fan Page on facebook and came across a fellow fanatic who posted this tidbit of news lol. I was to finally be reunited with my seafood fettuccine and was counting down the days. I marked it for pickup and the prices for the amount of food was A STEAL. Make sure to order extra garlic bread because you will open up the catering pan and eat a few on your way home. They have a half tray of 24 slices of garlic bread and salad for $20. Once I got home, I started realizing that the amount of sauce for the fettuccine was more than enough. We honestly had leftover to dip bread in for the next few days. The pasta for a half tray was about $60 and fed our family. The breakdown per cost per plate is definitely max bang for your buck. Every bite was my childhood and upbringing coming back to life. I was in disbelief I was having my favorite dish in El Paso once again. My family now knows we will have A Taste of Cappetto's everytime I'm back in town. Honestly, I jokingly would make a comment I'd sell my kidney for Cappetto's again so IDK if I'm now contractually obligated to this with someone out there in the universe.

When we found out that we could order via catering I went straight for it. I let my wife know and she got excited like I was. We ordered our favorite chicken Parmesan and it came with four servings of the chicken Parmesan, a full tray of spaghetti with the sauce, a full tray of the garlic bread, a full tray of the salad, and with all the fixings in assorted to go containers, and it costs just over 60 bucks. When I brought it home it was memory Lane for our taste buds and for our stomach. And triggered off all the memories that we talked about when Cappettos used to be open on Montana. It would be great if they could reopen that building I believe it's still standing I'm not sure. Or just reopened. Period!We're definitely going to do a repeat reordering because they're still so much more of the menu to revisit. We're looking forward to it

I felt like I found another less-known gem in El Paso…read more It's definitely a neighborhood restaurant. Food has the distinct home cooked feel to it. After all, it's housed in a converted residence with two dining areas. One looks like a smaller bedroom and the other looks like a combination of living and dining rooms. It's very cozy. When we visited, there were at least four families and two couples having a dinner. Our server was excellent. She was friendly, courteous and efficient. Our drinks came out fast, and our food came out very fast even though it was sort of busy with dinner crowd--some large family dinner parties. Serving size comes in either full or half. I ordered a full order of spaghetti with meat sauce (photo). It first looked enormous and probably it was, but I was so hungry I finished the whole thing, and it was very good! I was looking around the dining room and saw some enormous serving of salads and pasta dishes. You can add some protein with your pasta. The fettuccine Alfredo I saw had a huge piece of chicken on it. I'd say in general the serving size is very generous here yet the price is very reasonable. For instance, my large spaghetti with meat sauce was only $9.95 with garlic toast. Since it's a la carte menu, if you want to add anything else to your pasta, I'd recommend to make it a dinner for additional $6.95. It'll come with soup, salad, bread and spumoni. What a deal, but you must come here with very good appetite since the serving size is huge. The only challenge I could think of is parking. Immediate street parking is very limited. I think it's almost impossible when it's crowded. There's a parking in the back, but you have to get in from the back alley. Unless you know it's there, you might have a difficult time locating it. I must come back here to try other menu items because I enjoyed so much. Highly recommended!

Good food, good service, and pretty large portions! ambiance is cute and feels very homey.read more

This review is more about the service and experience we received. Sure the food was pretty good…read more Better than we expected. But what made me want to write this was the attention we received at lunch time. We tried to eat at a nearby establishment for what was supposed to be a quick simple lunch. Said restaurant wasn't that busy but we waited more than 40 mins before the server even checked on us one time. She then told us that there would be another 30 mins before our food would be ready. It was honestly just two of us, 12 wings and fries between the both of us. We ended up leaving and drove to Carinos simply because it was in the same parking lot. Talk about serendipity. The service was above par. The food (and prices) were fantastic. Without even knowing our situation, they absolutely saved our day. The staff was friendly and accommodating to whatever needs we requested. What should have been a quick and simple lunch stop actually turned into an amazing dining experience. Admittedly Carinos often gets overlooked when we go out. That day definitely changed our attitudes and we will most definitely stop by more frequently.

But they make you pay extra for an oddly specific #6 extra shrimp....be specific that's fine but at least be consistent! I ordered the version with hatch green chili... nope!!!
