Macaluso's Italian Restaurant

Lovely little neighborhood Italian Restaurant with East Coast vibes.

We split the Caesar salad, which was very fresh, and the dressing was tasty. Hubby got the Fettuccine Carbonara for his meal. He was not a fan of the meat on the dish. It was a warm salami-type meat and not what he was expecting. The pasta and sauce part of the dish was good, though.

I had been craving pizza, so I got one of their 10" cheese pizzas and added my own toppings. It was a nice little pie that will feed me again for lunch tomorrow.

Service was excellent! Really enjoyed talking to the nice young man assigned to our table. He was helpful with suggestions and super friendly.

So many choices!! Incredible prices! Such a great variety! We had the chicken Jerusalem-so good! Creamy sauce with artichokes and mushrooms. Served with a linguini. Complimentary rolls with real butter-so yum! The dessert menu is incredible! We had the tiramisu but chocolate mousse cake was melt in your mouth.
Note-we split an entree-fee for split=$5-fyi.
Summary
Fantastic Italian restaurant-great for groups, terrific service, super menu, awesome service. Already recommended to friends!

Subpar food and abhorrent service. Waiter initially approached table with an attitude and it went downhill from there.
My dinner was lukewarm when it arrived. Waiter never checked back until the 3 other ladies I was dining with were almost done. And then when he asked if everything was all right, he never stopped for an answer. I had to shout to get him to come back. Then he chastised me for yelling at him!
Manager was requested. He came out and once it was explained to him, he said he'd "take care of it". I was charged $30 for inedible food, no drink refills and an abundance of aggravation.
One of the purposes of our visit was to check out the place for our monthly ladies luncheon. Needless to say, definitely won't be back.

I love family owned and operated businesses, and Macaluso's is one of the best! The menu has a wide variety of delicious dishes with a New Jersey flair. A plus is the view from the large floor to ceiling windows which is beautiful year-round. Love, Macaluso's!

Food was delicious. I loved the atmosphere it was nice. E and AJ were wonderful. Super nice and great service.

Delicious! Ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and lobster raviolis with lobster sauce (highly recommended). Ambiance perfect for date night. The service was great!

Wow! I had a fantastic experience at Macaluso's, and I will certainly be back. I have lived in the area for years now and never known about this restaurant. The service was great, food was amazing, and prices are good! I had mozzarella sticks (given to us on the house) complimentary bread, and lasagna. The bread was perfectly warm and honestly to die for, I could have eaten a whole loaf. I would also highly recommend the lasagna as an entree, it was cheesy, and delicious. The waitress helped me choose what to eat, and she chose right! Everything was amazing - thank you!!

Service was good, it's got a great feel to the place. The food is nothing to write home about. Very basic Italian food. I think I expected a little more gourmet. We ordered a bottle of wine that costed $35 yet I saw the exact same bottle at Albertson's for $15. That's a huge mark up!! Maybe if my MIL wasn't Italian I wouldn't be so hard (my husband is adopted), her food is all made from scratch even her pasta. I think we were hoping for more of that home cooked authentic Italian food.

Not fancy, not the most authentic Italian in Fort Worth - but rest assured it tastes really, really good. I got the Tortellini a la Vodka, and it was creamy, thick, cheesy, decadent. I couldn't finish the dish and took half home. Caesar was excellent and large for $6. A great, comfort-food spot that I will definitely be returning to for take out many times!

This place is awesome. We tried some seafood dishes and veal everything was fresh and sauce that comes with the clams is the best. Our waiter was pretty cool too
