Italian Garden 1215 Avenue J, Lubbock, TX 79401

"Service was good and the food was 7/10. Only thing was off was the atmosphere. The music came on in the middle of the meal. Also, a very strong smell of cleaner (that oddly reminded me of a restroom) was strong when walking in and eating. The chicken option my husband had was a little soupy and canned jalapeño tasting."

"Italian food is either a total miss or a total hit! This place will make you a customer for years to come. The" pink " anything on the menu is amazing! The bread is top notch. The service is well staffed so your always taken care of! I always try something new every time! But we absolutely love the pink Parmigiano! We will continue to come as long as they're open and it's BYOB!!(only thing I would ask is for them to bring back the salads with the dinner. It was the most basic salads, couldn't have been too much trouble to keep as part of the meal like 95% of all italian restaurants.) Buttttt Still love it all the same lol"

"From the outside, it doesn't look like much but pleasantly surprised when we walked in. It's very big on the inside with a large seating area. Everyone was talking and having conversation, but the noise was muffled, creating an atmosphere that was warm and cozy. The food is outstanding! We ordered 5 different dishes, and each one tasted amazing. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Also...BYOB. Will definitely be back!"

"While the building is a bit run down and they seemed short staffed so the service wasn’t as attentive, the food was so AMAZING who cares! We had shrimp florentine, chicken Alfredo, the Italian salad which is big enough for 2-3 ppl, the best stuffed mushrooms I’ve ever had ANYWHERE and the delicious bread. Everything was amazing, and I know food and am not easily pleased."

"This restaurant was suggested by someone at our hotel on our last visit to the area. The food was great then, and we returned on our first night here this go around. The food and service were outstanding. Our server made several suggestions, and I agree their pink sauce is worth trying. The food came out hot, and we didn't capture any pictures. Update: We went back tonight. It was a wait due to graduation, but the food was still great. Photos were obtained this time."
