We had burnt rolls this time. We have never had this before.
January 10, 2020
Friday night. Crowd had good mix. Not just college kids. Food was good. Everyone in our party gave the food a thumbs up. Service was weak spot. Heard about several missed orders. A bit slow w/ check & boxes. Could be new semester = new staff. Will try again.
December 22, 2019
Homemade pasta and the garlic rolls were excellent!
November 29, 2019
Small restaurant charm; great food and service. Restaurant.com made it easy to invite a different friend on 2 different days of the same weekend, order appetizers, salads, entrées and dessert and BYOB, pick up the tabs for 1/3rd of what it costs elsewhere. Easy to have a conversation (we went right after lunch hour, which looked busy). Authentic and not a chain restaurant!!

This is our ‘go-to’ when we’re in San Marcos. Can’t go wrong with Italian Gardens!
November 12, 2019
I love Italian Garden. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent and the BYO concept is amazing.
October 19, 2019
Great company, great food! They were kind enough to not rush us. Most pasta was fresh, homemade...wonderful!
August 30, 2019
We’ve been eating here for years. The quality and quantity of the food has decreased over the past year. We won’t go back to this location.
July 28, 2019
Staff is very helpful and everyone cares to help you.
July 21, 2019
We have been here many times, however tonight the Chicken Tetrazzini tasted bad. Most of us didn’t finish it. It tasted burned. I hope it was just a bad night and won’t happen again. I might give them a try again in the future, but tonight grossed me out.
July 11, 2019
The rolls and oil are so good. The pizza was amazing. The service was great. We love that you can bring wine. This is a great restaurant.
June 12, 2019
The food at a Italian Garden is absolutely amazing. We are never disappointed
May 26, 2019
I have been eating the salmon special for 5 or 6 times a year for the last 8 years and have never been disappointed. The service is always good and we prefer to go when school (Texas State) is out because the crowds are smaller.

Great food, excellent service, nice atmosphere. One of my favorite San Marcos restaurants.

December 5, 2018
The Italian Garden is a favorite for several reasons: first of all the prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. It was a bit loud tonight as the place was packed with college students. We introduced oursellvesand chatted with the girls at the next table. As it turned out we paid their bill and everyone hugged goodbye. It was a feel good moment as we two Seniors remembered our own broke college days.
November 24, 2018
Normally 'excellent', but this was a bad day! Maybe the Primary Chef was away. Don't know, but food was not as good!
November 20, 2018
The folks at Italian Garden are always certain to make you have a great meal
October 16, 2018

October 7, 2018
We ordered a plate of each spaghetti, ravioli, lasagna, and a personal margarita pizza. Everything was delicious, service was good.
September 8, 2018
Excellent staff, affordable menu, great portions, and delicious!
August 26, 2018
Tried a new dish for me - Scallops Portofino. I loved it.
August 20, 2018
Always a great laid back dinner! Love to come here and eat:)
August 14, 2018
Service can be hit or miss here. This time our service was good. It's BYOB, so no wine available on-site. The place is next to the university, so expect slightly inexperienced staff and lude conversation at adjacent tables. We heard plenty of R rated conversation at the table next to ours. Bang-for-the-buck: this place is great. Excellent food and reasonable prices, unless you want a different sauce...that's 25% extra.
August 9, 2018
Waitress was great, rolls and appetizers were good.
August 4, 2018
Very fast service. Almost too fast. I think a garden salad should come with the entree's.
July 8, 2018
Waitresses are very polite and professional. They speak softly and always give us smile.
July 6, 2018
The food was well prepared to everyone's likinig. The prices are very reasonable.

Food was exceptional, both shrimp dishes had very fresh ingredients. The pasta was prepared to perfection.
June 5, 2018
Service was not quite as good as usual but server was still nice. Food was excellent as usual.
May 13, 2018
Very busy on Mothers Day but service was great! Food was thoroughly enjoyed by all and the price is a tremendous value.
May 11, 2018
My favorite Italian restaurant with all the sauces made from scratch.
April 18, 2018
We had to wait to be seated cuz we had a large group but didn't take very long. The food was excellent for a very reasonable price. The portions are huge. And everybody enjoyed what we ordered. Desserts are great also. And it's BYOB if you'd like to bring your own wine. Our first time there but will definitely be back. My only concern is that it's a small restaurant for such good food and so many customers.
March 31, 2018
Great food and prices. Probably the best Italian good I have eaten! The waitress was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Have always had good experiences, been going here for years when we come into San Marcos.
March 24, 2018
Yes...waiter Parker did a great job! Very polite and attentive!!
March 18, 2018
My wife and I both had the Salmon special. It was excellent as always although we prefer it over Cous-cous.
March 16, 2018
Great dining, food, portions, service... we will return as often as possible.
March 9, 2018
Best Italian food....better than Olive Garden. Best service also.
January 30, 2018
Waitress brought check but forgot to apply our coupon. She take to re-do.
January 14, 2018
The service was horrible!! Waited 30 mins just to get our drinks and another 10 to order. The table across from us sat after we did and ordered and received their food before we did. Brought to someone’s attention that we were waiting and she apologized and said our waitress was tending to a bigger table and she would be with us when she could. Very disappointed in basically being told my family and I weren’t as important as a bigger table.
January 13, 2018
Great meals! Plenty of food on each plate. Server was very knowledgeable about meals and seemed truly happy to serve us. Will definitely be returning!
January 9, 2018
Great food at reasonable prices and GREAT service, too.
January 4, 2018
Our waitress was very good- sweet and helpful. The food was fantastic. It was a cold day, so comfort food- hot from the kitchen was welcomed. I had the spaghetti with meatballs. It was very good. The others tried the eggplant lasagna and it was a hit.

great service. young, but very energetic servers that checked on your needs constantly.
November 1, 2017
Our server Sara was great! The food was hot and delicious. Our only frustration was that the oven broke, so it limited what we could order—no baked pasta dishes, pizza or rolls.
October 26, 2017
The prices are great and so is the food.
October 21, 2017
The food is very inexpensive. We had to take food home now st to spend it all.

Friendly relaxed atmosphere, the service was prompt and courteous. The did was very good, the marinara is some of the best I have ever had and tastes like moms homemade sauce. The portion sizes are enormous and the prices are very reasonable. I would and will patron this restaurant again.

August 11, 2017
The food is always great, waiters are great, prices are very reasonable.
August 10, 2017
great service. Tables are too close to each other. Also need to put a barrier near the front door. Anytime someone opened the door the temp went up 20 degrees in the restaurant.
August 9, 2017
We are Italian from Italy. Food was good. Not bad , not the best. Quick bite to eat and nice clean restaurant with the nice waitress with smile.

The seafood was exquisite.our waitress Mallory went above and beyond to accomodate our party and to make sure we were satisfied with our entrees. Mallory was the best waitress we have ever had serve us ever at any resturaunt. The wait wasn't long and we were accommodated with a secluded table as per our request.

3 of our party ordered Salmon. 2 of the 3 preferred couscous to the spaghetti now served with salmon.
May 4, 2017
Our server was great and prompt. And everything tasted great..except for the house dressing. It tasted like cocktail sauce. I definitely recommend this place.

December 17, 2016
Great food. Relaxed atmosphere. They dont sell alcohol so its BYOB. You can bring your own bottle of wine and they will provide the wine glasses and corkscrew. That in itself saves a lot on a nice meal.
December 16, 2016
GREAT FOOD, GREAT PRICES, GREAT PORTIONS.

November 5, 2016
This was a take-out order. Pizza was excellent. The salads unfortunately had a significant amount of old lettuce (wilted and brown)so one of them simply was not eaten at all and the other had to be "picked "through".
October 31, 2016
Great food and service.
October 19, 2016
great service, prices, and dinner. Only problem it is BYOB. We didn't know this so we didn't have a glass of wine. :(
October 16, 2016
Atmosphere was nice, great hostess and the food was wonderful. Portions were very large. Infact, both my husband and I took half of it home to have for another night.
October 14, 2016
One waitress made us feel very uncomfortable the moment we were sitting down. As if our 3 year old was gonna be a problem, not knowing he is well behaved. Our waitress Yvette was great and I would love her to wait on us again!
October 7, 2016
Great Italian food at reasonable prices.
October 3, 2016

Special instructions ignored. Food was Luke warm at best. Had to send back my wife's to be reheated. Ordered veal Marsala and was brought it but there was marinara sauce on the pasta. On the same plate even.

August 29, 2016
We have always enjoyed this restaurant however last night was the worst service I ever had. It took an hour and 10 minutes for our party to receive food but my dish did not come out for an additional 30 minutes. By then the rest of our party had finished eating so I told the waitress I did not want mine anymore. She brought the bill with a charge for my meal on it too. She would not remove the charge so we asked to see the manager. He (Kenny) would not come out after repeated requests so the hostess (Lindsey) came to our table and she said Kenny was too busy to see us and they could not remove the charge. Finally a server named Jett came to the rescue and removed the charge asking Kelly and Lindsey why it had gotten this far. Thank you very much Jett!
August 21, 2016
I had the linguine with red clam sauce and the bclams were cook beyond well done. The first meal at this rest. in 5-6 years I didnot enjoyu. Rest of the party enjoyed their meals .
August 16, 2016
Food, server, and environment was great!

July 22, 2016
A small group of us came here to celebrate a birthday with wine, appetizers, and dessert. We brought our own wine (love that about this place) and enjoyed some great food and wonderful service. Atmosphere was very comfortable. The crab cakes were a bit disappointing but the margarita pizza and Tiramisu more than made up for it- phenomenal!

March 14, 2016
Restaurant was extremely cold. Was hard to even enjoy our meal. It also took over 45 minutes to receive our food.
February 19, 2016
The only complaint i have is it's hot in that back corner where you guys put big tables. And the radio was playing some kind of talk show instead of music, so that was distracting to have the speaker talking right above out heads. Otherwise we love your place.
February 18, 2016
Our Server, Julia, was excellent and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

We were a little delayed going to an event, not because of a wait, but it just seemed that the kitchen and our server were a little slow on last night.

Excellent food and service as always, and our waitress (Lindsay) was very friendly and prompt.
May 30, 2015
The server was attentive and did a great job. The fettucine alfredo, chicken piccata, chicken parmesan, and marguerite pizza were fantastic. The spaghetti with meat sauce was a little bland. I would also highly recommend the chocolate mousse cake. The prices were reasonable and the portions good.

You can bring your own wine. Nice variety of choices.Using fresh vegetables.
January 19, 2015
Dining at the Italian Garden proved to be an excellent choice! The food and service were both excellent. Our server was outgoing and friendly, attentive to our needs but not in an interfering kind of way. Each meal was of excellent quality and the serving size was such that we each brought portions home. The meals were all a fantastic value and our dining experience was most enjoyable!
January 9, 2015
They have wonderful homemade dinner rolls--they are soooo YUMMY!!!!
December 13, 2014
The atmosphere was cozy, the staff was super friendly and the food was awesome!
December 12, 2014
The atmosphere is casual Italian and nice. You bring your own wine, which makes the experience nicer and a great value. The food is good, not great or excellent. The sides of meat you add to dishes are not incorporated into the dish, nor are they house made. The meatballs are tasteless Sisco type frozen foods. The menu is extensive, so many things are not house made. I think the price point reflects that, but I must remember to ask more questions when I order, so that I'm not disappointed by the quality of non-house made products (which there are many). Friendly servers and large portions - great appeal to the nearby college crowd.

Amazing service, always great food and very reasonable prices. This was our 2nd visit, and even though it's a small place that's out-of-the-way, it's just gotten better. Will return next time I'm in San Marcos!

Great server!

Good service, nice atmosphere, good food, good prices. Will eat there again.
August 22, 2014
Generous portions of good food at resonible prices. After we were seated, we were brought freshly made bread with an olive oil dip. We were there during a busy time, but we felt we still got good service with staff checking one us and always bringing refills.
August 18, 2014
We waited a really long time to be seated. We also waited quite awhile to be waited on and to get our food. I think they were understaffed.
August 14, 2014
Food was good. To make it an excellent experience, add waitstaff. Our waitress was taking care of too many tables. She did a great job but it took longer for her to check on us for drink refills.
August 9, 2014
The place was crowded and they had reservations for the big tables because it was graduation weekend. We sat at two adjacent tables until a big one was cleared, and then we moved there thus making way for two smaller parties. And since it was my birthday, they were going to give me cheesecake but my son told them I'm lactose intolerant, so instead I got an amazingly wonderful tiramisu. They went out of their way to accommodate us, which I appreciate and rewarded with a large tip.

The only down fall was the table we sat at was in line with the front door....which was constantly being opened...thus allowing hot air in every time. Made for a rather warm evening.

The low carb menu is perfect for those of us who are gluten free. My meal is as tastefully prepared as the pasta that the rest of the family enjoys.

It is a quaint restaurant. The bread they serve is amazing. The chicken piccata, fettucini, and lasagna were delicious. Our server was sweet and prompt.
May 4, 2014
We have 2 Italian Restaurants we like,in different towns...it is well worth the drive to San Marcos to go to Italian Garden.The food is very very good,the servers are excellent and friendly and the price is low considering the quality of the food and service combined.This is one of our FAVORITE restaurants for Italian Food.We sat outside on the patio,there were umbrellas and a great cool breeze.It was quieter than inside so we had good conversation and a perfect evening.

February 21, 2014
Food was hot, and server was attentive; however salmon was undercooked and server was either new or had no opinions about specific items
February 17, 2014
We were there for Valentine's Day, so the place was crowded, but the food was delicious. We even got a meal to go for the next day!
February 17, 2014
This is one of my favorite italian restaurants of all of them out there. The food is amazing, the servers are excellent, and the price is incredible.

Nice quaint atmosphere, sweet friendly server, good food, and lots of it.
February 2, 2014
Never got a refill until we were leaving charged me a salad which I ordered and never got
January 30, 2014
I actually ordered the wrong this. I ordered shrimp scampi but meant to order Alfredo. No fault of the server. I was disappointed. Enjoyed the shrimp though and the roll are awersome.
January 27, 2014
It is one of those places off the beaten path, that I have passed a few times and always wanted to try; and those places usually are some of the best! It was really good food, with a really good atmosphere, and the rolls were really awesome!
January 25, 2014
The chicken tetrazini is absolutely AMAZING.
January 16, 2014
I was happy there were some low carb choices to eat after I devoured all those delicious warm rolls! My husband chose a pasta dish and loved it. From what I saw others doing, you can bring your own wine. Even better! Will definitely go back more often.
January 13, 2014
Great service, plenty of food, good bang-for-your-buck.

very good, warm food. great service
January 3, 2014
I love the atmosphere of this restaurant, it is not the large Italian chain but a small intimate personalized to your dinner whether alone or in a party! The food has always been top notch and we have tried several different dishes. When we want a treat, this is where we go! The service is great and we love to talking to the wait staff, they are so diversified! It's not a rowdy, noisy, place, but very pleasant to eye and taste!
December 23, 2013
Everything we tasted was hot & fresh and very tasty. The chicken Cremora was our favorite. Very reasonable prices. We will be back.
December 13, 2013
We love this place. The food is good, service is great and prices are awesome.

The interior atmosphere is warm, intimate, and classy. This is our third visit to the Italian Garden, and have not been disappointed! Our first time was due to a certificate purchased at Restaurant.com. We highly recommend it!

Overall good, nothing bad - nothing great.
October 29, 2013
Great background music and ambiance. Food tasted freshly prepared.
October 8, 2013
We always enjoy Italian Garden. Food is good etc.. Our server today needs a little more training. Didn't know her sauces or how things tasted. Servers should be able to describe the dish in detail and have at least tasted it before! But she was really sweet and did a great job in service.
September 25, 2013
The service is always excellent. Friendly and attentive wait staff. Love the chicken marsala. Yum!
September 9, 2013
Italian Garden provides a quaint atmosphere with an attentive staff and good food.
September 9, 2013
i and fried musgrooms were good. The sauces were all tomato based and catsup like. The antipasto was a pile of lettuce covered in cheeses with the red sauce.
September 5, 2013
Great small town atmosphere. Service was exceptional! I love that they let you bring your own bottle of wine.

Service was great and the food was really good!
July 30, 2013
Was very surprised about the Italian Gardens restaurant. The picture did not do it justice that I had seen. The food was very reasonably priced and great portion size. This was a wonderful place for a peaceful and relaxing dinner, also because we went EARLY and before the normal dinner rush, so the dining room was mostly empty.
July 28, 2013
We love this little place. My son is a student at Texas State.We take him here about once a month when we come to visit. He always chooses this restaurant.
July 25, 2013
the food was delicious. The hot bread with dipping oil was a favorite. The portions was good size. We had a cannoli afterward and it was to die for. It was filled all the way with delicious filling. The only thing to complain about was the time it took our food to come out. It would have been awful if we waited that long and it was no good. It was just hard with kids and them hungry. But I will definitely be returning.
July 14, 2013

Great service and great food. Finding parking was the only problem.

Flavorful Italian food, good portion size, very reasonable prices. Friendly servers. Can bring own wine. What's not to like?
July 1, 2013
Prices were good but food was bland. Staff was great and friendly.
June 29, 2013
The waitress messed up our order and one of the people in our group had to wait 25 min after we got our food before he got his food. We were not compensated for this mistake.

The service was excellent. The young lady that served us went out of her way to take really good care of us. The food was delecious. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. There were no complaints.
May 20, 2013
our server only gave our drinks and food never came back to check on us we had to call another waiter to get a refill and to go boxes. there were the hostess and mgr. in the register area behind glass and our table was in front of the glass we even tried to get their attention then we had to ask for the bill and wait until someone came and rang us up. So no we did not tip because the service and management ere not attentive.
May 12, 2013
Great Waiter!

quiet dining, qaint inside, relaxing pace, abundant amount of food, quite enjoyable
March 19, 2013
It was a very nice restaurant with very pleasant staff. I liked the fact that they allow you to bring in your own wine and they don't charge a corkage fee.
March 10, 2013
They had no wine or fresh Parmesan cheese. We have been to the other one in Canyon Lake Texas it was much better there so I was a little disappointed. But the food was good.
March 8, 2013
We've spent a lot of time in Kansas City, MO and New York so we know great Italian food. This was OK for Texas.
March 7, 2013
I ordered Scallops Marinara last night but they gave me Shrimp Marinara. It was good though and I wasn't in the mood to send it back.

February 15, 2013
The food was good but the chicken picata was a bit bland. Not very much lemon or garlic.
February 15, 2013
It would have been excellent but shrimp was left off one entree.
February 1, 2013
Greek chicken and spinach canaloni (sp?) were delish!

August 1, 2012
Food was wonderful, service was great.
July 31, 2012
The food at the Italian Garden Restaurant beats all of the national Italian food chain restaurants. The Service is great, and the dining environment is wonderfull.
July 29, 2012
We have been dining here fore years, and the food is always good, but what happened to the pizza? The last 2 times we dined the crust was a doughy, mushy, squishy mess. Did the oven change? It's like the crust is not getting baked hard enough. You used to have the best pizza in town.
July 28, 2012
The food was not very flavorful.
July 22, 2012
LOVE this restaurant!
July 9, 2012
Always a delight to eat at Italian Garden. I have told many people about you...hope they all came to visit!
July 7, 2012
The restaurant was fantastic. The ambience and atmosphere was very Italian and added to the experience. Our server was really good and we were very pleased. The food was the best Italian food I've had in a long time and I can't wait to go back soon!
July 5, 2012
Chooosing restaurants along our 'errand' route was decided to provide a 'date' as we are both on disability incomes... so when I got my Goddaughter some door prizes for Senior nite I added in the BONUS for us. THANKS!! Good trade. ;-) Overall a realy nice experience. We prefer the mom-n-pop places over the chains.
July 2, 2012
Very good, as usual

Everyone in our party agreed shrimp tails should be removed when in pasta. Everything would have been perfect if that had been done.
May 30, 2012
Will return soon!
May 26, 2012
The service was good, but the waitress totally miscalculated my bill as $37. When I brought it to the attention of the cashier, it was corrected to $22
May 23, 2012
Very pretty little place.Very busy for the middle of the week and we found out why.Dishes well prepared,plentiful and tasty. Large menu selection with great value for the price. Server friendly and efficient,kept glasses full and table cleared.We drove over an hour to get there and it was worth it.Perfect dining experience. We will come back and bring friends.
May 20, 2012
The wait staff were all friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, although the restaurant was full, she made us feel as if we were her only table. Great Service! The food was good we will gladly not only return but we will tell our friends and relatives of Italian Garden.
May 13, 2012
Arti, our waitstaff, was very genial and provided us with excellent service with a pleasant personality. I do not like to dine out in places that the waitstaff is not genial. We have eaten at Itlaian Gardens many times because we enjoy the food and the prices are right. Thanks for making my Mother's Day most enjoyable.
May 13, 2012
Excellent dining experience. Generous and fresh food. Amazing waiter.
May 11, 2012
Always delicious food and almost always excellent service. This is a great place to BYOB and they now have lovely outdoor seating, too!!
May 9, 2012

April 24, 2012
Our favorite place to eat in San Marcos!
April 9, 2012
Prices were in line with the quality of the food. It definitely was not the best Italian food we've had. My entree was only lukewarm when it arrived. A bit disappointed as we took another couple out to eat.
April 8, 2012
Order was mixed up, and meat sauce just wan't up to usual standard; husband ordered angel hair and got linguini. We love it anyway.
April 3, 2012
Great food!
April 2, 2012
I've been curious about Italian Garden for years. I was looking to treat my friends to Italian, and Italian Garden had excellent reviews. The reviews were right. Loved the food & service! Great Tiramisu!
April 1, 2012
Great food and prices and service.
April 1, 2012
They have excellent marinara sauce and can substitute whole wheat pasta, excellent calamari & I think people were brining in their own bottles of wine?
March 27, 2012
The certificate is a good way to advertise your restaurant. We live in New Braunfels so this is the only way, probably, that we would visited your restaurant.
March 27, 2012
Overall, I go for convenience since I go to Texas State. Quality and taste of food is never consisted but service is always alright since it's so slow.
March 21, 2012
This was some of the best italian food We have ever eaten!will definatly eat here again
March 18, 2012
New server (I assume) was very nice and trying, but she needs more experience.
March 17, 2012
they were very busy so our wait was quite a bit more than usual. We always enjoy the food here.
March 9, 2012
This was for my daughter's Senior Show at Texas State. Major accomplishment! Major celebration!
March 7, 2012
The food was great, but they were out of alost every dessert (Black Forest cheesecake ,Amaretto cheesecake, Carrot cake
March 5, 2012
great value
March 5, 2012
The restaurant could do a better job of recording reservations, and not losing them. Some chaos was created because our reservation was apparently not recorded.
February 20, 2012
Very good food and very reasonable prices.
February 18, 2012
The food was fantastic- all 4 dishes. The service was friendly and spot-on.
February 18, 2012
we were excited that they had veal on the menu, very few Italian restaurants serve veal any more. It was excellent!
February 18, 2012
Every dish was very good. Everything was fresh, clearly attention is paid to getting high quality ingredients.
February 17, 2012
Good food and very reasonable prices--we will definitely go back.
February 16, 2012
I have been going to the Italian Gardens since it opened. It is by far my favorite restaurant in San Marcos. I live out of state now so whenever i come down to Texas i come here to eat.
February 15, 2012
I really enjoyed eating there the only complaint was the parking. we circled the restaraunt about 20 minutes before we could park.
February 15, 2012

Best tomato sauce in San Marccos TX
February 4, 2012
Loved the food and coupon
February 3, 2012
Due to a fault of Restaurant.com, the validation line was not working to process the certificate. The restaurant owner was nice enough to do a refund later.
January 15, 2012
Nice, quaint atmosphere with great food.
January 14, 2012
The salad dressing and Alfredo sauce were thin and watery. The deserts were sickeningly sweet.
January 13, 2012
No additional comments..just want to emphasize how awesome our waitress was and the food was very I incredible
January 7, 2012
Nice cozy atmosphere.
January 6, 2012
great place.....let's keep it a secret!
January 3, 2012
It was delicious!
January 3, 2012
It was disappointing to find out that we couldn't use the certificate on our first visit. They said the system was down. That was the only reason we decided to eat there THAT day. It's of concern to think that we cannot rely on using the certicates we purchase every time we visit a restaurant.
January 1, 2012
Agreat way to spend New Years Eve with friends. Thanks
December 31, 2011
Wonderful value, good food, really nice service.

December 29, 2011
Food was excellent, daughters calzone was burnt but they made again and was great the second time around. Waitress very pleasant , kept forgetting things and did apologize( didn't give bad excuses) and we always ended up getting what we needed. But she was very excellent with her being sweet.
December 25, 2011
Service was friendly, but a little slow taking the initial order when they weren't very busy.
December 24, 2011

December 5, 2011
The food is exceptional and the free bread and dipping oil is very good. I plan to come back again to try something new.
December 3, 2011
They did not allow separate checks, which was a bit of an inconvenience due to the fact that this is a college town.
December 3, 2011
It was a GREAT experience, and will definitely be back.
November 25, 2011
No spinach for the spinach salad.
November 20, 2011

I have been coming to Italian Gardens since it opened it is my favorite Italian rest. always bring out of town company here. My youngest daughter turned me on to this rest.
October 23, 2011

Our party thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Italian Garden. We will definitely return.
October 18, 2011
The waitress we had was excellant!! The food was very good, it is hard to find itialian food in Texas that is not spiced for Mexico.
October 14, 2011
Would have received a 5 for food but the Calamari was so-so
October 10, 2011
Salad was crisp and fresh with generous toppings. Pasta was cooked well and sauce was flavorful but shrimp were quite overcooked. Good cheesecake. Average pumpkin pie.
October 7, 2011
Exceptional food, great friendly, service, very good portions, what's not to love.
October 5, 2011
Parking is an issue. Food is very good for the price.
October 4, 2011
We love veal and their veal dishes are delicious and reasonably priced.
October 2, 2011
Great! As always!
September 22, 2011

I love this restaurant. It is small and personal....the food is terrific! Almost like eating at your friends home.
September 3, 2011
Food was bland. 5 mozzarella cheesesticks cost as much as my entree and were not very good
September 3, 2011
We are regulars at Italian Garden because of the quality of the food and excellent service. We just discovered restaurant.com and the fact that Italian Garden participates..another reason to go there.
August 16, 2011
Consistently delicious food at reasonable prices and a pleasant staff that always seems eager to please. Love this place.
August 15, 2011
I live out of town and this was a birthday celebration for my daugther. She had heard nice things about your restaurant which were confirmed with our visit. Stacy will take her family back.
August 14, 2011
Superb
August 14, 2011
great servie, great food
August 14, 2011
Chicken cannelloni was the best item I have ever had a Italian Garden. Server was very friendly.
August 12, 2011
I have noticed the restaurant when driving past when I was downtown, and I would always think to myself 'I need ot check them out'. The certificate was even more insentive to do so. I went with a group from my office and we are really glad that we had lunch here. We will definately do it again.
August 11, 2011
It's a small local place I keep forgetting it is there. Love it everytime I go. Thanks for having it on the site.
August 4, 2011
enjoyed it, everything was great.

The atmosphere was wonderful. the staff very friendly and knowledgeable of the food choices.
July 24, 2011
Service was very good, food could have been larger quantitites.
July 19, 2011
The only complaint we have, was being charged twice for 18% gratuity. Didn't want to mention it at the restaurant, just paid it. But feels like they got us since we had a $25 off coupon.
