Caterina's

Debbie Collins, Prime Realty

We had a fabulous four course lunch date. The service that Maria gave us was incredible and the food was so very delicious. We had plenty of leftovers to take home.

Couple friends and I passed by for a 1$ Martini promo we received in the app while visiting Texas and also shared a Beef Carpaccio. I can say I was happily surprised by the truffle in the carpaccio and we all agreed was SUPER TASTY, also the martinis 🫶🏽 The bartender was very attentive and nice

Catarina’s is delicious, but Shea the bartender makes this place! She is so amazing and we keep coming back because of her service!

Great restaurant. The food was delicious (especially the meatballs for appetizer) and we thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails. Shay was our server and she was fantastic! She was fun, witty, attentive, and enjoyed banter. My only issue is that Caterina’s is a small restaurant and when larger tables (such as 6 people) begin talking loudly, they can be overwhelming. My wife and I watched as two couples requested a new table because of this issue. I wish the manger had stepped in and asked the guests at that table to be mindful of others.

Absolutely everything was wonderful. Our drinks, Britnee is an amazing bartender! Heather was our server and she was fantastic, friendly, and attentive. The food was chef kiss. It’s an incredible experience that everyone should do. Yes it’s a high end restaurant and worth the splurge.

I mean… wow! This was one of the most incredible restaurant experiences I have ever had. I have dined in fine restaurants like Wolfgang Puck etc. but from the second we walked up, to the second we exited our experience at Caterina’s was unforgettable. U could go on and on about the food, the unique flavor profiles, etc. But all of this would be nothing without our waitress Shay. I have been to so many restaurants with incredible food but the service is lacking. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with prosecco, and once we sat, Shay brought us a trio of wine samples to help us find a wine we would like. She was so sweet, talkative, non-judgmental, helpful, and made our experience 5 stars all around. I mean this when I say this is my new favorite restaurant. Now about the food, everything the reviews say about the rigatoni, meatballs, Caesar, etc are true, EXQUISITE. I would like to point out two dishes that may be overlooked but were our two favorites. First, the friend zucchini, the salty fried zucchini with Parmesan, comes with an acidic red wine vinegar aioli, it is next level, my favorite part is the mint leaves. I would never think to add that to that dish, but it elevated it completely. Secondly, the roasted chicken comes on a bed of whipped ricotta and a slaw, it was phenomenal. Slightly spicy, crispy skin, juicy chicken. It was just so great. I’m so impressed with this place. Thank you Shay, you made our whole night and I will always remember our experience.

We absolutely loved this place! My boyfriend and I had the meatballs, caprese salad, spaghetti, rigatoni, and doughnuts… everything was so good! Nothing disappointed even the slightest. Services was 10/10 and no reason to complain about the phones being taken here, I loved the company I had at the table! We will be coming back!

Ebony helped us on Valentine's evening. She knows the wines and made great recommendations. Meatballs were great, scallops, the pasta/lobster and pork chop were great as well. Wonderful evening.

This restaurant was an absolute hidden gem! The service was outstanding. The food was probably the best we have ever eaten, and coming from a foodie that’s saying a lot! The no cell phone rule made the evening more intimate. Do not skip this experience!

We had such a great time at Caterinas! Shay was our server and she was awesome — super friendly, easy to talk to, and really on top of everything. The music got a little loud at one point, and she went out of her way to take care of it for us, which we really appreciated. This was the second time she served us and she was on point both times! And the food… wow. Everything we ordered was absolutely incredible. Not a single miss — every dish was packed with flavor and just so, so good. We left happy, full, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend the restaurant and asking for Shay to be your server!!

OH MY GOSH!! First time ever eating here and we have already made reservations for next weekend. I really had no idea what to expect but man was it good. Starting with the welcome glass of Prosecco to be Sat in a section with the most wonderful server ever I could not have asked for better experience. Shay was absolutely fabulous and honestly made our experience even better. She was quick and attentive and also just so fun and Such an easy person to talk to, and again enhance our whole experience. Like I said, we have already planned to come back in six days and we asked Shay If she would be working just to ensure we show up on her shift and are going to be able to sit at her section because she truly made the experience what it was. We’ll definitely keep coming back and even coming back more as long as Shay’s our server.

Food and overall experience and ambiance was incredible! The rigatoni vodka, meatballs, and drinks were incredible. Shay was so knowledgeable about the entire menu and great throughout the entire night, I can’t wait to go back!

I was the only vegan in our group of four. Not only did they accommodate my dietary needs but I would say it’s one of the best pasta I have had in a long time! Beautifully plated dishes, great service. This place is an experience worth having. We were a bit hesitant since the cell phones are confiscated and locked in a bag for the entire time. But the taste of the food made us all forget our phones n all :) Do not miss dining here when at the Fort Worth stockyards. P.S- sorry, no pretty food pics bcos no phones :P

This was our second time at Catarina’s and both times have been exceptional! The service is absolutely wonderful. We sat at the bar and our server, Shay, took amazing care of us. She was so knowledgeable about the menu and wine list and so attentive to our needs. The food was spectacular and came with a Parmesan and prosciutto service and a focaccia service!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to make sure I gave a shout-out to my waiter tonight. From the moment we sat down, he was on point with everything! His name was Mason, and he was truly exceptional. He greeted us with a warm smile, answered all our questions about the menu with patience and insight, and made some excellent recommendations. It was clear he was really knowledgeable and passionate about the food. Not only was he attentive without being overbearing, but he also made us feel incredibly welcome and valued the whole time. It’s rare to come across service like this, and I truly hope his manager sees this and recognizes how amazing he was. He definitely made our experience unforgettable, and I’ll be coming back because of the outstanding service alone. If you’re lucky enough to be seated in his section, you’re in for a treat! Thank you, Mason, for making our evening so special!

We loved having our anniversary dinner here! The atmosphere was amazing and we loved having our phones locked up to really enjoy our meal. I loved the personalization that our waitress provided throughout the courses. She was very knowledgeable. I really loved that the speciality cocktails are all made table side. There are so many little features like this that made us enjoy the experience. I would definitely return in the future.

I wanted to love this place bc we really enjoyed our dinner at Lonesome Dove, (same chef, owner). Didn’t mind locking up the phones at all and the service was great but the food was a huge disappointment. The bread appetizer was under cooked (we had 3 different samples and all 3 were undercooked and bad). The Caesar salad was okay but nothing significant and then our main dish…oh boy, neither were good. The bass came on a bed of beans ( we found that to be an odd pairing) both bass and beans were very mushy. The jumbo shrimp was chewy and the sauce they served it on was blah. Was really expecting something great knowing the price was $100/ head. Overall, greatly disappointed

I have been to this place multiple times and have recommended it to many. Food is always on point. Tonight though the service was no where near great and fell short of any of Tim Love’s restaurants. They had the manager and bartender trying to serve everyone. I was the only patron at the bar and ordered way less than usual due to poor service. I also saw them turn away 3 walkin’s for dinner using several excuses. The place wasn’t full. They just didn’t have the staff to serve. Tim Love, they cost you business and one do my first bad experiences having visited multiple of your locations.

After reserving online and reviewing everything, we came in at 7 o’clock for our reservation and we’re told they have phone policy. They host took out two pockets that had locks on them and asked us to put our phones inside of them while we were eating and then locked them and keep them on us. I was good until they told me it was locked and I could not get to my phone in an emergency. I told them I was not OK with this as we have small children I need to be able to reach our phones. They called us over a manager and we relayed this information to him and he said unfortunately we HAVE TO do it if we want to eat there. After paying $50 to make our reservation, which I find funny because all of the 5 star restaurants in the area do not require this nor do they require us to lock up our phones. I understand the environment they’re trying to create but it should “highly recommend” not required. I think that this is just not the way to go about getting 5 star quality We are adults eating at an adult restaurant. It is our choice to be on our phones and some people actually relax being on their phones, even though that’s not us and we never get our phone out when we are at the table, but we still have it to hear it if it goes off for the children. That makes you wonder how this is working out for them when they’ve had to relax the phone policy which I did find was on the reservation but it never said they had a phone policy and didn’t go into what it was only that they had “relaxed” the phone policy so it technically is not on the reservation disclosure. Also, interesting they had relaxed a “jacket policy” since opening. Must getting push back quite a bit all around. We were actually very excited as there’s not very many great Italian restaurants in Fort Worth so we were really looking forward to trying it, but not at that measure. Something I also find interesting is in today’s world of social media and all of the pictures of food and videos that we all look to before we go to places they are keeping from an easy marketing tool for them to get people in as no one can take their phones out and give a food review with photos and videos. Seems like they would want this in today’s world as we travel far just to go places we’ve seen on social media but I guess they haven’t figured that out yet. The manager was actually extremely rude. I asked how the phone policy was working out for them and he said “good, does it se like we’re hurting for money” (WOW) but I found it funny that I couldn’t see into the restaurant to actually tell nor could we tell from cars in parking lot since it’s in a spot where you park far away. All we could see was the bar and everyone at the bar had their phones laying in front of them due to you could have your phone at the bar, which they recently relaxed because they were even making people do that at the bar before. To each his own, of course, but I will tell you I will not be back, which is sad because we love, Loves restaurants. I’ll continue to go to the other ones but unfortunately, they have lost me with this one until they lose the phone policy.

I waited for a long time to try this place after hearing great things.. The ambience and vibes are great, lovely atmosphere. Service was excellent and warm and definitely kept me from walking out. The food was nothing impressive or special at all. The best part of me and my wife’s meal was our appetizers that were good but nothing special once again. The gnocci was okay but the sauce was not flavorful and cold. The rigatoni was decent but once again nothing special and the same sauce and pasta as any other Italian restaurant for a third of the price. For our last courses we had the lobster and roasted chicken. My wife liked the chicken but it was literally just roasted chicken that had less flavor than a walmart or costco rotisserie chicken. I had the lobster and the lobster was alright but not great. The sauce and 3 or 4 ravioli they give u was not good, flavor was all over the place and did not work. I sent back the gnocci and the lobster and my wife wanted to send back the chicken but felt bad. Even after all that the total was 177$. I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone for good food. Maybe apps and drinks, but if u are looking for the best Italian, u can have a way better meal at olive garden for way less money. And I love Italian food which is why I can confidently say that this food is mediocre at best. Way overpriced and very underwhelming. Saviannos in euless has way better food and vibes for literally a third of the price.

I have been to this place a few times and every time it was excellent however I took my family a few weeks ago and I was disappointed in our service. We had a reservation and from the get-go we felt rushed. When we placed our order for appetizers, we said that was it for now and our waitress in what we felt was said in a rude way said "that's the whole order??" But never clarified we had to place our whole order because the kitchen was going to close. My mom then ordered the chicken and gnocchi soup and when it arrived, it didn't have gnocchi pasta because my mom looked for it before eating it. We asked our waitress if the gnocchi pasta was in her dish and she took it back to the kitchen to ask the chef and when she came back, she brought a new soup with the gnocchi on the side and said " I brought the gnocchi on the side, the chef said you might have ate it because it was small" the gnocchi was fairly large and could be seen once it was mixed in the soup. We thought the comment was not necessary and quite frankly rude. That experience left a bad taste in our mouth, and it's very disappointing because my past experience was much better.

I picked this place to celebrate my birthday last Saturday. I have enjoyed many other Tim Love restaurants but unfortunately this was a huge miss for a $500+ dinner. Our reservation was at 6:45 and our server was great at first but then took an hour to take our order while all of his other tables received great service. We told him my husband was gluten free and I was pregnant which he forgot both multiple times as he kept offering me wine and suggesting food items with gluten. He apologized multiple times for the wait but then he mentioned there was a problem with our order so all in it was 2 hours before we got our food. He told us dessert would be in the house. Unfortunately by the time we got to the end of our meal it was past 10PM and we told him we didn’t want dessert. He brought us one anyways on the house which was fine but it had gluten and alcohol in it which was the 4th time he forgot. Then my husband to no surprise was sick all night because there was clearly gluten in our food. I called the restaurant the next day and they listened and said a manager would absolutely call me back. That was 3 days ago and I have received no phone call. Dine at your own risk and don’t go if you’re in any kind of hurry.

Started good, but ended up a huge disappointment. This is just a poor attempt at Italian food. The building is actually interesting, and it gets your hopes up. We started with a cocktail at the bar while we waited for our table, an unusual long time for having a reservation. The aperol spritz and the old fashioned were good. Once sat, they explained the menu, the service acted as if they were doing us a favor by doing their job. They brought some wine, extremely salty bread and the saving grace was the cheese and the prosciutto. The Caprese salad was awful, the tomatoes were old and soggy. The rigatoni pasta was undercooked and their sauce was mediocre at best. Accidentally pulled my phone out when getting my wallet to pay and the waitress came right away to tell me I could not take my phone out. This is the fastest this waitress moved all night, as service was really bad all night. I wanted to laugh and tell her that I had no interest in taking pictures of this mediocre imitation of “Italian” food. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.
