Earl and Isabella's Taverna — Restaurant in Argyle

This is a wonderful place to eat. The atmosphere is very inviting and open with a patriotic / WW2 theme. The waiters and waitresses are always friendly and the service is perfect. The food is Italian but not the big plate, small portion expensive Italian. All portions here are very generous and the prices are reasonable. Some sandwiches and salads are plenty for 2. They call themselves a pizza restaurant but that’s not the best thing on the menu IMO (I was surprised there was no deep dish or Sicilian style pizza other than a lunch only single slice meal). They excel in the many items made with their pizza oven baked fresh bread. I ordered the meatball sandwich and I just can’t seem to try much else as I like it so much. They also have a very nice selection of craft beers on tap. I know something about beers and they have a good selection of beers to make all youu beer lovers happy. Most restaurants sell the higher alcohol beers in smaller glasses. Not here, it doesn’t matter what you order, you will get a pint glass. The kids will also feel at home here. They have a long shuffle board table which the kids like to play. The open atmosphere will also make them comfortable. You can sit inside or if the weather permits, you can sit outside. The area where the restaurant sits is very unique. There are a few other restaurants and a coffee shop here. You will need to visit here to understand what I mean. It is very eclectic. While it’s all new, it is the opposite dining experience of a chain restaurant in one of those freeway frontage road clusters. The restaurant has some history which the servers will be happy to share with you. Nice story. Overall, this is a great place which I plan to visit frequently as we are moving to Argyle. I would highly recommend you give this place a try. I’m sure you will love it as much as we have. Atmosphere 5 Food 5 Service 5 Prices...

The compound all around is really cute. It’s spacious with a couple of different dining area options…when you walk in , the hostess is right there to help and there’s a cool bar there (with saddles as seats….a themed restaurant but I thought it was very well done; you get the theme without it being overkill or cheesy and there’s a whole sweet story behind it that you can read online). Perfect family spot; something for everyone and the prices are really good. You can get small or large sizes on most items so depending on your party size, you can decide. The waiter was super helpful explaining and showing the size difference. (Quite a big difference in the size of small to large pizza, so for the price, opt for the large and take some home). Could have easily split a small salad and small pizza between me and another person and been satisfied. So def a good bang for your buck. The kitchen is open so you can see them making the pizzas, they have a window on the side so you can get a closer look (great for kids to check out). They also had a shuffleboard and a nice outdoor space. Spinach dip was good, I liked that I could actually taste the spinach instead of it just being all cheese or cream. It came with bread instead of chips, I prefer chips usually, the bread was ok but cut a little thick and over baked so it was a little hard to eat. Tried the Bianca pizza, I liked that one. The amore was good too, and omg loaded to the max with toppings! Flavor of the crust was good, but I prefer a thinner crust, this seems to be more like a California style pizza a bit more doughy. I liked the Caesar salad and the small was a good size, can split it well btwn 2/3 people. Tried the Nutella pizza but it was a bit too sweet for my liking and too soft, no mixture of textures. But if you’ve got a sweet tooth it’ll be right...

SUMMARY: Hits all the marks for a solid dining experience: great food, fun atmosphere, and Outstanding service!

VISIT

We were first time visitors but not the first time we tried to dine here. Finally we made another attempt and glad we did. We were impressed by the country type atmosphere and by the cleanliness of the place. Big plus for this.

FOOD

We ordered a small margherita pizza as well as a small Caesar salad. We were really impressed by how well the crust came out. Nice and crispy without being burnt and still held its shape even with the ingredients soaking in. The sauce was outstanding too and the balance of the ingredients vs the ratio of pizza dough was perfect for us.

Now the star of the show in my opinion was the Caesar salad. Boy, I gladly polished off what my wife couldn't! Perfectly sauced without drowning in the Caesar dressing and the right amount of ingredients. I especially liked the grape tomatoes. Nice n sweet and firm fresh skin, not old by any means.

SERVICE: Can we say how much we loved our waitress Leanna? Hopefully I spelled her name correctly. She was absolutely the best and the restaurant should be happy that she represents the restaurant with her awesome service, demeanor, and service. She checked up on us enough at the right times and not too often so as to be intrusive. As a former waiter, I can tel she's experienced and good at what she does and she made our first experience at Earl's a memorable one.

RETURN VISIT?

We've decided Earl's is our go-to pizza place...
