Italian Garden

This restaurant was suggested by someone at our hotel on our last visit to the area. The food was great then, and we returned on our first night here this go around. The food and service were outstanding. Our server made several suggestions, and I agree their pink sauce is worth trying. The food came out hot, and we didn't capture any pictures. Update: We went back tonight. It was a wait due to graduation, but the food was still great. Photos were obtained this time.

From the outside, it doesn't look like much but pleasantly surprised when we walked in. It's very big on the inside with a large seating area. Everyone was talking and having conversation, but the noise was muffled, creating an atmosphere that was warm and cozy. The food is outstanding! We ordered 5 different dishes, and each one tasted amazing. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Also...BYOB. Will definitely be back!

This is a very nice old school Italian restaurant in downtown Lubbock. All the food our large party had was good. The servers were very efficient and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a large gathering, as we had for a graduation event. It's BYOB, so the adult beverages were reasonably priced. The age group for our party ranged from 5 to 80 (the 80 folks wouldn't say how many). The menu is extensive enough so everyone was satisfied. And yes, many folks took to-go boxes with their leftovers as the portions are generous. All-in-all, it was very nice restaurant to celebrate with the graduate.j

Our server Cassie was delightful and attended to our every request. Very busy, reservations recommended for Friday/Saturday. BYOB is awesome for a nice bottle of wine. Portions are generous and salad and soup is optional for those that want full meal. Pink sauce is a very homemade option of traditional red and white, recommended. Lasagna is served bubbling hot and goes well with garlic bread.

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant during our stay in Lubbock. Initially, I was a bit hesitant when we arrived, but I was pleasantly surprised as soon as we stepped inside. We were warmly welcomed and quickly seated. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and offered great suggestions that turned out to be fantastic choices. We began our meal with fried ravioli and cheese sticks, paired with a delicious dipping sauce. For his main course, my husband chose the chicken Parmesan served with spaghetti. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the same wonderful sauce from the appetizers topped the pasta, making it a delightful dish. The chicken featured a thin, crispy crust and was tender and fully cooked. I opted for the chicken with tortellini in pink sauce. The chicken was just as incredible as my husband's Parmesan chicken, while the tortellini was delightful, and the pink sauce was creamy and perfectly seasoned without any one ingredient overpowering the dish. The portion sizes were generous! The bread served with our meal was fresh and light—definitely worth trying with butter. Although the restaurant was quite busy, our food arrived in a timely manner and tasted freshly made. The portions were so substantial that I enjoyed some leftovers for lunch the next day, and they were even better! This place is a definite must-visit when you're in town.

Always great fresh food! And amazing service! When going for lunch they always get you out in a very smooth and timely manner!

10/10 throughly enjoyed my chicken milanese. I will definitely return. Service was great to. Thanks

Delicious food and nice atmosphere for a family dinner. The staff were so friendly. We have been before this visit, and we will be back again.
