aboca's italian grill

horrible service. our family party experienced extremely rude and unprofessionalserviceon 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.

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. theirserviceis 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.

the surrounding strip mall isn't much to look at, but this place serves some really good, straightforward italian classics. tried it for the first time last night and was impressed--an old school mom and pops place with a lot of regulars. the osso bucco was succulent. the accompanying rissoto was just average.servicewas top notch and friendly. this will be my family's new go-to spot when we need an italian food fix.

shockingly rude treatment. we were inspired to try aboca's as they were featured on a restaurant certificate website. we purchased a $50 certificate and headed to aboca's. upon arrival, we were told they don't take those certificates anymore. we asked to please speak to the owner as there must be a mistake as we had just purchased it one hour beforehand. we were now out $50. the owner approached us, got inches from my 75 year old father's face and said, "we don't take those anymore, now get out of here!" he then turned and walked away. my 5 year old daughter witnessed all of this. this person should not be in theserviceindustry. we will never be back. there are plenty of byob italian restaurants to choose from....ones that greet you with a smile and have enough integrity to honor a purchase that has already been made.
