Best Italian Restaurants in Lakewood / White Rock Lake

Incredible night! Cannot recommend Cooper enough!!! He was knowledgeable, energetic, and personable, making our experience so fun. Loved his recommendations: pesto pasta, endive salad, lemon cheesecake, and spumoni tart were our favorites. Hope to be back soon & see Cooper again!

This place is a fun, lively extension of The Charles! My absolute favorite restaurant in Dallas! Grace, bartender. Super sweet and attentive! Reassuring to those who are waiting for table! She knows her stuff. From the bar to the way of the world in Sister. It's not often you see a manager ready to get down and dirty with their staff. Harry did not disappoint. A section of the bar cleared and he didn't wait a moment to clear it and wipe it down. From the bar top to the barstools. He gave attention to all the tables as he saw fit and offered an refreshing knowledge of the restaurant's history. Something most managers won't bother with. He is the type of manager I know this establishment is proud to have. Jackie, hostess. She wasn't the most pleasant when we arrived but I think I just caught a bad moment because every other moment following showcased why she was hired. Sweet and friendly. Ramsey, water man. It's not often the gentleman who refills your water leaves such an impression but he did. He was a highlight of support throughout our dining experience! Kristian,waiter. The main attraction was what you need. For a couple who knew exactly what they wanted when they sat down from previous experiences, he was still able to educate and be everything we needed. I also always appreciate a waiter who reviews the notes of my reservation. He brought attention to the reason we were there celebrating (not the typical birthday or anniversary; rather a good business month) and treated us at the end of our meal! The food did not disappoint as expected. Hangar steak was "the best steak I've had all year" as my fiancée noted. The clams vongole was delightfully tasty with such a punch of balanced creaminess. And the broccoli and carrots hit all the right spots! I didn't love the expresso martini but who cares at this point hahahah I love this place and its staff. You will too. I promise.

Loved everything about this experience! Our waiter, Justin, was absolutely wonderful and made the evening even more special. The food was amazing, and I loved the thoughtful seating arrangement for tables of two, with both guests sitting side by side rather than directly across from each other. It creates such a more intimate and special atmosphere. The music volume was perfect, the lighting was beautiful, and every detail felt just right. An all-around amazing experience!
