Tatiano's is my favorite restaurant in the DFW area for Italian food. The owners and their staff are outstanding in every aspect. I have been going there for years and will continue for many more. The food is fabulous and I just can't get enough.

I don't know how anyone can say this place is the best Italian around. They haven't been around anywhere, apparently. I am Italian and the food was horrible. The service sucked like you wouldn't believe. The waiter was rude, not good with kids AT ALL. Put hot dishes in front of small children, open glasses, it was ridiculous. We waited for our dinner for at least 45 min on a Monday night, no one else was there. It was so unreal. I will absolutely NEVER eat there again and certainly never recommend it to anyone I care about. Try Valentino's in Rowlett or go to Luigi's in Rockwall. They know how to treat customers.

We have been looking for a decent Italian restaurant in the area for a while and were excited to try Tatianos out. What a disappointment. To start with, our table was missing the better part of 3 table setting and WE had to get them from another table. The hostess pretended like she didn't see. The bread was cold and slightly stale, not fresh. The food tasted like it came from a can. Both of my children ordered fettucini alfredo and got a strange mix of fettucini noodles and spaghetti noodles with a bland white sauce. I ordered chicken marsala and got some strange pinkish redish sauce with canned mushrooms mixed in. Not at all authentic. The sampler my husband ordered was smothered in once again, canned red sauce. We waited over an hour for mediocre food at best. I asked the waitress if the sauces were made fresh and she kind of hemmed and hawed and then said "of course." I would not admit to making anything that we ate tonight myself! I definitely DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. Don't waste your money or your time.

Please dont waste your time. We ordered for take-out at 6:30 with the promise it would be ready in 45 min. We arrived at 7:00 and did not get our food till 8:30! Nothing was done to make us feel better about the wait nor was the food even worth it. Worst dining experience of my life.

I love this restaurant. I have been a customer for about 4 years now.
The restaurant is family owned and operated.
Please, note that this place serves the best Italian Food around. I have traveled all around Italy and it is nice to know that we have our own "Italy in Rowlett".
I will say that the chef makes the food to order so you need to be able to relax and enjoy the atmosphere and the wonderful music. It is like you have your own personal chef when you order your food. I love the chicken marsala. EXCELLENT!
The wait staff is friendly and funny. I enjoy talking with them.

Food was boring, salads were wilted, service was meh. It's a step down from Olive Garden at the same price point...and I wouldn't eat at Olive Garden.

they just missed the mark, aiming for a high end place. the new building was a good start, but they missed the details. the staff is ok, but not special. the prices are high for what could be ragu out of a jar. still better than nappolis service though. i guess my best recomendation would be to cross the bridge in to rockwall.

Menu was a few sheets of paper stapled together. Bread before the meal was cold and not from oven. Food took forever to get. When it did arrive, all the food had a metal taste as though it was baked in tin foil. Table was a fold out card table. Overall, me and my families experience was bad, we will never go again and I would not recomend this restaurant to anyone.

My family and I have been going to Tatiano's for years. We find the family restaurant just lovely. The service is great and accomadating and the food is very good. Just last night, I ate chicken marsala(just great) and my husband had the homemade lasagna. The marinara sauce is the best sauce (you can tell that it is homemade and not out of a can.) I enjoyed the new design of the restaurant and the good warmth of the establishment.

The new location is nice. Staff new and learning but good. Big mistake cutting the specialties to start. They have good food but only have the blander more "safe" dishes available. They really need to get it together fast or they will start lose their client base. If your reading Tatiano's Don't be afraid to use the spices! Bland is not always safer. Need real menus!!! Should have never opened the doors without REAL menus...

Prices have doubled since the move to the new location. Our check was $100+ for 4 people. Service was slow. We were there for 2 hours. No menu, waitstaff told you what was on the menu. Portions were smaller. Will not go back

Atmosphere was nice and warm, however the food left something to be desired, overall it was bland.
