Such a cozy atmosphere here! They always have solid pasta but we got pizza for the first time and it came out fast, fresh, and hot! Our server, Efren, was a gentlemen and took care of us with a real genuine concern for us! We are leaving with our tummies and our hearts happy.

This is my favorite Italian food place. I moved to Austin now and really wish they could move the whole location closer! The staff are great. It gives a homey vibe every time and is just such a cute and comfy place to eat a delicious meal! I am gluten-free and they offer both gluten-free noodles and pizza! I love this place down and hope everyone can experience how great they are!

The atmosphere in the italian garden is perfection and the service is even better. Our server Efren was so attentive and friendly throughout our meal. It made our experience 100 times better! So nice to get to sit down and eat good food with good people. When you are here you’re automatically a friend! I have nothing but good things to say about this place and our new friend Efren! Please come get some good food and tip well 😉

First time to visit Italian Garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
We were very impressed with the food and service. Our waitress was super attentive and the food ranged from good to amazing.
* Tortellini Alfredo (Amazing)
* Fettuccine Creamora (Outstanding)
* Shrimp Scampi w Angel Hair (Pretty Good)
* Spaghetti w Meatballs (Good)
Oh, forgot to mention…. the mozzarella sticks were very good, salad was okay but the bread was so amazing! Prices are also very reasonable, especially the lunch prices (ends at 3pm). Will definitely return!

My wife and I recently dined here for dinner for the first time. The service was fast and efficient from ordering from the server to the server’s delivery of the meals. The rolls with the herbal dipping oil were great; warm and chewy. We ordered the Crab Cakes as an appetizer. We were disappointed in them. They were deep fried, a little oily, and tasteless. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Sausage, Garlic and Onions. The sausage had a nice flavor, and overall this was an “OK” entree. My wife had the Chicken Spinach Cannelloni and was not overly impressed. The prices here are very reasonable. The atmosphere is lacking; pretty much a sit down, eat, and leave type of place. We were not impressed and doubt that we will return.

Italian Garden in San Marcos, TX, was a delightful find recommended by my hotel staff. From the moment I arrived, it had the vibe of a cozy, family-run Italian spot—red and white checkered tablecloths, and fresh oil for dipping your bread, really set the scene.
They started me off with an order of garlic bread knots that were light, airy, and delicious. I followed that with a huge house salad, but it was so large I could only manage half. For the main course, I chose the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, which arrived creamy, packed with tender chicken, and piping hot. The flavor was excellent, and the pasta was cooked perfectly, though I could only eat half because of the generous portion.
Sadly, I missed out on the last serving of tiramisu, but the Black Forest cheesecake I had instead was just as good as the rest of the meal. The real highlight, though, was the waitress, who made the experience even better with her fun and conversational service.
With the salad, main meal, dessert, and drink, the total came to just $26 before tip—very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. If you’re in San Marcos, TX, I’d highly recommend checking out this local gem.

I have nothing to regret about this place. It’s just special.
Small and cozy place to enjoy the great ambience and spend a great time to talk to with your couple or small group of friends.
The food, it’s just perfect. We loved the taste of the pizza and the lasagna. The portion is good enough and get ready full your stomach.
Price is fair because the place and food worth it, it’s not to expensive.
Plenty of parking and well located.
Of course we’ll be there again and enjoy a bottle of wine, we didn’t know before arriving but you can bring your own bottle! That’s great.

I’ve been coming here for a year or two, went in last night and food was DELICIOUS. The quality and seasoning seemed better than the last couple times I’ve been. Service was amazing too, I believe Taylor took care of us. Such a cute place! (Their bread and oil is to die for)

Delicious, homemade Italian food. Service by Efren was amazing, attentive and prompt. Food arrived quickly & hot. Efren kept our drinks topped. Pricing is great. I’d definitely recommend this place and I’d definitely be coming back every time I’m in town.
