A ROMA ITALIAN KITCHEN — Restaurant in McKinney

From the moment I walked in, I felt that little Italian town atmosphere. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and was surprised by how fast it was served. The look was appeasing and felt homemade. The sause was a good consistency, the noodles and chicken a good portion. When I took my first bite, I was instantly teleported to a small kitchen where a woman was cooking over a stove. I could feel her warmth and love fill the kitchen, as well as in the food. Her back was to me, but the food in front of me told me this restaurant had the right guidance on how to cook Alfredo. I've had Alfredo from various restaurants across the country, and I can honestly say this one of the best by far. The garlic rolls tasted like they were baked with love and made with TLC. After devouring this meal, I decided to test their tirmisu. The first bite melted in my mouth, and after it was gone, the lingering flavor of coffee and cearfully crafted cream was all that was left. Each bite after that felt like an encore where the quailty didn't suffer. At $25 total for the meal, the price leaves little to be desired. However, the quality of the food and the service made by Agon more than made up the hefty price tag. I would recommend this for solo, dates, and parties alike if you are looking for good...

The outside of this place makes you think you’re walking into a quality Italian restaurant, you sit down look around and the atmosphere makes you feel like the food has to be great. First give away was no cloth napkins and cheap salt and pepper shakers you find at a burger joint. Then the drink cups they bring out are the red plastic cups you get at a pizza parlor. Just figured they were still working on getting nicer cups and cutlery etc. The bread came out cold and was extremely dry and slightly stale. Started out with Calamari that looked and tasted like it was previously frozen. My girlfriend ordered spaghetti and meat balls (easiest dish) was not overly impressed by the previously frozen meat balls and undercooked spaghetti noodles. I order the Philly cheesesteak, was very disappointed when half of it had more veggies than meat. The other half had 0 meat, and I mean not a sliver of meat, just straight rubbery mushrooms and peppers. Fries were the steak fries you get from Charley’s Cheese steak at the mall, so not overly impressive. Only reason for 2 stars is because the waiter we had was phenomenal and the building has the look of a restaurant that deserves the amount of stars this place currently has. Will not be...

Kind of a mix review for this place. I did like the food but the thing is I don't know if this place knows exactly what it is. You walked in it seemed like this place is more like a bar or speakeasy than it is a Italian restaurant. From the seats, to the lights, and the color and the bar was really beautiful. When you look at the menu for the drinks it's pretty extensive and they do have a lot of things. This is not necessarily a bad thing but it kind of does follow through to their food. Their food wasn't bad but it just seems a little less put together than the drinks. My wife had the lasagna and she wasn't the biggest fan of it while I had the calzone. I asked for pepperoni and I was given about 2 lb worth of pepperoni. It just made the calzone almost unedible. I scooped out most of the pepperoni. Maybe don't charge 2 dollars for pepperoni and add 3/4 less. My wife's lasagna was pretty dry. It was far better than something like the garden but for the pricey pay you would expect it to be a little bit nicer and will put together. The drinks were good. Our server was awesome she helped us out. We were very very happy oh and before I forget the rolls were delicious!! I don't know if...
