La Gondola Italian Restaurant

"We were having a nice dinner on the patio with our children until a couple of ladies from the bar decided to come smoke next to our kids. I asked the staff and they said someone removed the no smoking sign and refused to ask them to move. Our food had just arrived so we had to get it to go and spilled our drink in the food so it was ruined and we didn't eat. The bill was $100 and we still had to go eat fast food after. We were told GM was going to call but still haven't heard anything so please be aware of this place and the lack of respect towards children and families."

"Me and my wife went to the restaurant with reservations. We where there 30 min early .. everything was good we order wine and calamari.. 10 min later food on the table everything was smooth,, until 1hr and 30 min later we still not getting our food ., so I went to talked to the manager she apologized and give me excuses but she said the food will be ready in 5 min …another 20 min pass and food is not on the table….so she went and seat on the chair saying she will take care of the bill because the inconvenience 30 min later the manager and the waitress come to the table with the food finally .. so we where eating and I order salmon .. when I star eating the salmon was raw not cooked. I went to tell the manager and she asked me If I wanted something else like pasta .. I was very frustrated and disappointed it’s now 9:30 already so we ordered desert and the manager brought me a bill to pay for the wine, the appetizer and one of the desserts .. that really was unbelievable… so I will not recommend this place and Also make sure you food is cook all the way…"

"The best fresh Italian we have been able to find around here. Mickey was our waiter and he was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. You could tell he was proud of the food they serve. He was helpful with our toddler who was getting hangry and pretended to make a new plate of fries to make her happy. Glad we found this place. This is be a new regular."

"We had planned to try La Gondola for my birthday in August. But our move in September messed up our plans. In the end, in March, we booked a table for my wife's birthday. It was worth the wait. La Gondola is in a strip mall where Kroger is. Be careful while entering and exiting as Debbie Lane is a busy street. You'll find plenty of parking space. We booked a table for 5 PM on a Friday night through Google. The restaurant was busy when we arrived, and it only became busier later. No doubt, it's a popular restaurant. My wife ordered the "Rollatino" and a side of vegetables. I had the "Gamberi-alla-Pizalolla" with a side of vegetables. She had Minestrone soup. I had Cream of Asparagus soup. We didn't have any appetizers as the garlic bread was enough. Fun facts: Marco Polo brought pasta from China to Italy. Then Thomas Jefferson brought it to the US. My wife's Minestrone soup was delicious and light. My soup was good but not outstanding. The garlic bread was fresh and addictive. The "Rollatino" was excellent. The chicken was flawless, and the flavors were fantastic. The "Gamberi-alla-Pizalolla" was delicious as well. The marinara sauce was superb. We didn't order any pasta. The side vegetables were fresh and well-prepared. We finished off with a Tiramisu. It was light and not sugary. The service was excellent. When I paid, I had forgotten my credit card. The waiter made a special effort to bring it to our car. La Gondola is the finest Italian restaurant in Tarrant County. We'll be back."

"Went with some good friends and had a very nice meal and evening. Bruschetta started off things with some of the wine. Lots to choose from. And everything sounded good. But tasted even better. The lentil soup was very flavorful and the French onion some of the best is what I heard. Chicken, Alfredo and Parmigiana some of the orders all did not disappoint. Service was great. And that garlic bread, fogetaboudit. Creme boule to finish was very smooth creamy and nice hard sugar shell. Will definitely be back."
