Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Irving

I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Radici From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right lighting and decor. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations from the menu. The food was outstanding—each dish was a perfect blend of flavors, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I especially loved the lasagna which was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The pistachio olive oil cake was the perfect way to end the meal—decadent but not overwhelming.

Waiter completely rushed us through dinner - hovering and asking us to make a decision on drinks appetizers and dinner within 5 minutes of us being seated. Explained we needed a minute to read the menu as we had never dined there before and asked for his recommendations. He literally came back 2 minutes later asking for a decision. The restaurant was almost empty as it was early on a Saturday night so I’m not sure why he was trying to push us through dinner. But even with us trying to stall and draw things out we were still done with dinner in less than an hour. For such an expensive restaurant I find this unacceptable especially when I told him three times to give us a moment. Food and atmosphere were excellent but service ruined the experience

The service was like no where I’ve ever seen! Completely off the charts amazing! Everyone knew what we were there to celebrate and came by to say hello…food was amazing. The decor was beautiful. Did I mention the service was AMAZING! My new favorite place!!

NEVER disappoints!!!!!! One of my favorite Italian restaurants. I always look forward to my next time here. You can never go wrong with The Bracco, focaccia, and spicy gemelli!

Overall the experience was good. Our waiter provided good service. The arancini was just okay, but the marinara sauce was very flavorful. The aperol spritz was spot on. The entrees were good, just be advised, the meatballs are small. Do not think you are getting Texas sized balls. 🤣 The cannoli was okay. There was a little something missing. I will be back, I just know what to order and what to avoid.
