  • What readers recommend about Italy Pasta & Pizza: “We have enjoyed this restaurant since we moved to Fort Worth almost 30 years ago. They have moved a couple of times but always maintained the same quality of food and service. The restaurant has a beautiful, pleasant atmosphere, and the staff treat customers like family. The food is tasty, reliable Italian. We often order pizza and salad for pick-up, but we also enjoy eating in. We enjoy many menu items, especially the tortellini bolognese.”
