aboca's italian grill

horrible service. our family party experienced extremely rude and unprofessional service on our last visit. it was truly the worst dining experience any of us had ever had.

i would also note that the facilities were very dirty.

long wait, good food.. don't expect your food at a snappy pace on a saturday night. my wife and i arrived at 7:30, we were seated with in minutes. the wait staff was courteous and friendly and was prompt with our drinks and salad. after a 40 minute wait for our main course, i asked if there was a problem with our order and was told they were plating it up. 10 minutes later i was still waiting. they said that they were sorry but it was a saturday night and they were busy, i said that 40 minutes for a busy kitchen was to long to wait and could i have it all packed up to go and we would eat at home. when we arrive at home we discovered that they had only packed half our order correct but had thrown in an extra slice of cake. i will recommend aboca for their food but next time i'll call ahead, pick up and eat at home.

we always love their food and their service. the bread with dipping oil and lasagna are amazing!

nice family place. byob, nice family place. my favorite dish is by far the pasta carbonara!

i went to this outlet with my crony. we ordered pasta which was delicious. we also had ordered salad which was loaded with exact dressing that we asked for. this place is always crowded with patrons. would like to visit again next time with my kin.

an overrated italian cuisine! ordered chicken pasta and was surprised to see no chicken pieces.

only the calamari fritt was our savior! don’t recommend at all.

ordered

jason was one of the better servers i've had anywhere and the food was delicious! will be back soon! we don't live in dallas and we love to go to local places and hope they "make it!"

i was very excited when i arrived because it smelled so good. the bread and dipping sauce also arrived and i was thinking this was really gonna be good. the waitress took our drink orders and brought me a glass of ice and a can of diet coke. i hate when that happens because then refills are not free. my friend ordered lemonade and she said it was hot. not warm, hot! i got a cesear salad and fettuccine alfredo with chicken. my friend ordered shrimp aboca. my salad arrived dry with no dressing. the fettuccine arrived and was pretty good. my friends shrimp aboca arrived and she said it was overwhelmingly lemony. she ask for a drink refill on her lemonade and the sever brought it and it was again hot. we ask why and she said it was a powder and they mixed it by the glass. this wouldn't be bad really but we ended up spending over $25 each. not worth the money

aboca's is my go-to italian restaurant. we've been coming here for years and we are continually pleased. nightly specials add great variety to the menu, however i never tire of my favorite entree, the agli olio pasta dish. the meat lovers pizza is also excellent. the bread brought before the meal is always fresh and warm, served with a flavorful garlic-olive oil sauce. what i love most about aboca is its quaint atmosphere and friendly service. most all of the waiters remember us each time we dine, which makes us want to continue to support this local gem.

good food, good staff, great experience. this place had been on my list for a while but only recently did i have the opportunity to eat here. it was pretty crowded when i went and although there was a family with some very overexcited children (this place was surprisingly kid-friendly for what i expected), that did not detract from my experience. it is byob, so our group brought a bottle of wine with us and it was clear we weren't a minority. the waiter was attentive and the food was delicious. overall, i enjoyed my experience here.

best italian food around! nice and clean place with friendly welcoming staff!!

wait staff is horrible!!! waited 20 minutes and had to ask for service. we visit dallas 2-3 times a month and are always looking for italian food; definitely will not return. food is marginal.

it was delicious!!! we were a group of 5 and the waiter was so fast and attentive to all our needs including multiple water refills. i highly recommend the sampler app platter, chicken parm and shrimp aboca pasta.

aboca's richardson has gone downhill. it's a shame. they use to be a great little neighborhood restaurant. their food is poor - at every level. their service is shabby (except for the hostess) and the owner is not interested in hearing any feedback. his arrogance and attitude set the tone for the place. don't waste your time or money. there are too many other good restaurants worthy of both.

great food and great service! veal dishes are awesome as is the pasta. tony treats all patrons like royalty. wait staff is friendly and attentive.
