Came here for dinner with my family. Destiny was a fantastic server, the best we’ve had in a while. Food was great - everything made from scratch. Will come back

Brief: Amazing staff, atmosphere and food! Prices are more than appropriate. Extended: Space has been updated, and is beautiful. Staff is friendly, courteous, on point. Food is fresh, clear and clean flavors. Portion of the Ravioli was reduced but worth it! Proper Italian dinning!

I am an Italian food snob. This was great. Al dente is the only way to eat pasta. Omg the price of the food was very reasonable. My only complaint is it a small place and the foyer was packed.

The last time I ate at Margie’s was over 30 years ago. I didn’t care to ever go back. Tonight, after hearing great reviews from friends about the new and revamped Margie’s, we returned. The restaurant is small, so our party of 6 had to wait about 45 min for a table. The bar service was great, and the seated patrons seemed to be enjoying the food and interaction with the staff. Once seated, we enjoyed some awesome service from an engaging, patient, and very polite wait staff. I was quite impressed. The food was fantastic; it way exceeded my expectations. The pastas are all made in house, as are the sauces. It shows as the food is prepared and served with care. It was a great experience! The GM stopped by our table at the end of our meal for a short conversation. It was interesting to hear more about the restaurant’s evolution over time and the new ownership and leadership. The restaurant is definitely on the right track. We are already looking forward to going back soon.

This place is amazing! We visited for dinner yesterday night. We were sat immediately when we arrived. Our server, Destiny was very prompt and explained the menu well. She also made suggestions for entrees and the dessert. We ordered the Smoked Tenderloin Carpaccio for an appetizer. It may have been our favorite thing we ate! For entrees we had the Shrimp Scampi and Spaghetti and Meatballs. We also enjoyed the New York Cheesecake with blueberry basil jam for dessert. Overall, everything was delicious! We will be back soon. Next time we are bringing even more people to dine with us. Thank you Margie’s Italian Garden’s!

I am so glad this restaurant exists! We walked in and were promptly tended to, served, and checked on. If you dine with the early dinner crowd you’ll enjoy the brightly lit room with the swanky 20s music playing and greeted by the sweetest staff. They have those crisp breadsticks ready at the table with a room temp garlic herb butter that you can dip and keep dipping. The pecan oak old fashioned was strong, vibrant and not too many frills to take away from the alcohol. We started with the fried mozzarella and I definitely didn’t need an appetizer given the large portions to come but I couldn’t resist. If you want that viral cheese pull experience- this is it. The warm marinara sauce was the perfect balance of tang and sweet. The basil pesto tasted like it was ground table side in a garden and brought to the table. The creamy ranch was not your average ranch. It was perfect. The spaghetti and meatballs was a classic plating with fresh made Al dente spaghetti, sauce, and three large Texas sized meatballs. Not just meat by the way. When you cut into one you can see pieces of herb, vegetables, and spices. Seasoned! The chicken Parmesan was from Italy but the size was born here in Texas. Hanging off the plate, perfectly battered and seasoned with melted cheese and sauce. Seriously, the best in Fort Worth. I have had this dish at a few popular spots and this one is #1. It’s also served on the fresh made al dente spaghetti with sauce. We also ordered garlic bread which how does this side even shine compared to the meal. THE FRESH GRATED CHEESE. It’s like snow capped mountains and absolutely essential to the meal to dip in the sauce. Let’s talk about the tiramisu. I wasn’t even considering it but it was recommended. I thought, how good can it be?? Well, it will carry you out on a pillow of whipped delicate flavor and you’ll regret sharing it with anyone. This is not a bold tiramisu which is why I fell in love with it. This is for everyone who doesn’t straight vein espresso for 8 hours a day. This was absolutely decadent and I want everyone to experience it. So, unbutton the top button and just order it or take it to go. Fantastic and the staff agrees. They rave about their favorite dishes and that just adds to the cozy, welcoming vibe of this spot. A million times over we will be back! Desi the GM stopped by and checked in on us and was greeting everyone at the door. Hospitality at its best.

If you’re searching for an unforgettable Italian spot in Fort Worth, Margie’s Italian Gardens is a true hidden gem. Recently opened, but there’s a sense of history here—thin breadsticks with delicious butter, cozy ambience, and a menu full of intention. Started with fresh calamari—light, crispy, and paired with a sweet orange chili sauce that just works. A Pecan Old-Fashioned and a classic Caesar salad on the side. Just as the thought of stepping away crossed my mind, the lasagna and Braised Short-Rib Ragú tossed with Pappardelle arrived. You can taste the care in every bite—flavors that linger, and a kitchen that clearly takes pride in the details. Finished off with tiramisu—gone in seconds. Margie’s might be new to the scene, but it already feels like a classic. Big thanks to Gigi and Levi for making this experience something special. 📍 9805 Camp Bowie W Blvd, Fort Worth, TX (Right next door to JDs Hamburgers.) For anyone wanting an amazing dinner date or just an evening of incredible food—this is the move

Owner, manager and waiter were really great! Made us feel welcomed, even though I did feel out of place and not dressed. We were celebrating mothers day late/sisters last day of chemo. 😄 they interacted with us and had conversations about the restaurant and other things. Our waiter was awesome! ... o goodness... tall funny... I forgot his name only because I didn't write this review right after. Other than that food was great and authentic. I was able to get gluten free pasta and build my plate. I tasted a Lil of everyone's plate and better than olive garden. They serve big portions. Building is beautiful!

Margie’s Italian Gardens in Westland is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. I had the lasagna and it was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had. You can taste the difference in their homemade pasta. The customer service was also top-notch—friendly and attentive. It’s a popular spot, so be prepared to wait, but trust me—it’s worth every minute!

What an absolute gem! I have been anticipating the reopening of this Fort Worth Staple. As a native Fortworthian (not sure if that is a word), It warms my heart to see people investing in this side of FW. The wait was well worth the food we had the pleasure of eating. Bailey was our server, and she was fantastic. From the breadsticks with butter to start, the perfectly al dente ravioli, and the delightful tiramisu, I cannot wait to return. The owners were there and they were working just as hard as everyone else. Their cocktails are also delicious; I personally recommend the margarita. For my dining budget, their pricing is fair. In total, we had two salads, one appetizer, two entrees, one serving of tiramisu, and one coke; my total was $74.67. This is a perfect spot for a dinner with your girls or a date night. My only feedback would be to increase the volume of the music just a tad. Ben Fatto!!!

Sat at the Bar with Victoria who was a magician with libations and great recommendations for dinner. The chicken Parm was tender had a crispy breading that absorbed the very simplistic yet tasty marinara sauce the mozz sticks were some of the best with a great pesto dipping sauce and the linguini florentine was fresh and creamy. Delicous to say the least! The cheesecake was creamy and firm with a hint of lemon and a great crust around and underneath ..will go again!

First off if you like the show Landman this place is across the patch cafe filming location. Pretty cool. The calamari was very good. Some of the best I’ve ever had. The wife and I split the lasagna. It was good but not the best I’ve had. For desert we tried the tiramisu. It was ok but lacked flavor in our opinion. I think the cheese cake would have been a better choice based on others in our party. For my drink I had the Negroni. It was very good but again like so many other restaurants the prices are high. Not as bad as others but still, restaurants have really gouged alcohol since covid. It’s a great place to try and we would for sure go back.

Nice menu with good variety…fried mozzarella app really good with any of 3 sauces…fresh pasta perfectly done but here’s the rub ….both the fresh pasta dish and my chicken parm FLOODED in sauce that was very average for my taste…a basic acidic tomato sauce with little taste but the good pastas were drowning in the sauce. Being drowned in sauce the very large ($24) chicken parm really lost its appeal. Liked the old Margies atmosphere better this one has white walls and is quite lit up, full house (good for them) meant noisy and too bright for my liking…there were people set up to eat in the entryway where others were waiting for tables…overall just not what I want on a night out…would have been 1/3 price and better ability to have conversation out at Joes down the road or any location. Make sure to make a reservation.

Opportunity for growth: I found it odd that they don’t take reservations for parties larger than 4 people. I called ahead and was informed of this policy but also that at the time and day we were coming that we could likely walk in with little to no wait. Upon arrival, we were given an estimate of 15-20 minutes which was fine. On a Wednesday evening, my party of 7 ultimately walked out because staff couldn’t give us an idea of when we’d be seated after waiting over half an hour. Potential opportunity to adopt a policy of allocating time for the guests. We were told that the table they allocated for us had paid out but was still occupying the table and had been there for over 2 hours … so the next paying guests left. I do understand that that staff felt this was not completely in their control; however I found the general manager, Desi, to be sarcastically polite when asking for updates on seating which felt belittling. The ambience seemed nice, and I’m sure the food is great; however caution if you’re considering dining with a party over 4.
