Cane Rosso

12 Kid-Friendly Dallas Restaurants That Parents Won’t Hate

"There’s not a Cane Rosso in DFW that isn’t kid-friendly, but the outpost in North Dallas looks extra kid-friendly, thanks to some giant Connect Four games. The Napoli-style pizza is excellent, with simple menu options for kid tastes and fancy toppings for the adults. And yes, every location has a bar and custom cocktail options." - Courtney E. Smith

"It’s pretty much required that you like Cane Rosso if you want to remain in the Metroplex. But happily, that’s easy to do! Its Neapolitan style pies cooked in wood fired ovens are light, crispy, and topped with inventive flavors, from bacon marmalade to barbecue pineapple to a Calabrian chile béchamel." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn

Wonderful as always! I took my parents who have high standards for pizza and they both enjoyed the Jabroni and the Honey Badger - they even enjoyed the burratta and cherries which is why I’m here! I’ve been visiting various Cane Rosso locations for years and only recently discovered this appetizer - and OMG - it is on my top 5 favorite food lists - the favors compliment each other perfectly! Highly recommend along with most everything else on the menu. The service was excellent. The atmosphere did not live up to the other locations I’ve been too but I think that’s more the building in general.

Cane Rosso is the best pizza in Dallas, and the Richardson location is definitely the best among the outposts. The patio and lawn area are great for groups and family gatherings. This is one of our favorite go-to spots for an evening. Their pizza dough is delicious, the menu is well curated, the value is unbeatable. Bring your kids, bring your dog, get a cooling cocktail and enjoy the nicer weather

Usually on Sundays we usually go out to eat with the family to some Chinese stuff called dim sum, but we were driving down our street and saw a new developed complex next to a Andy's custom custard and we saw this pizza shop. We've eaten here previously before but in the Dallas area this was more in the Richardson. Super cool atmosphere. They had a park outside where the kids could play. The food came out. Quick service was great. It was pretty much awesome way to start my Sunday! Would definitely recommend any families trying to venture out and try a wood fire oven pizza. Super light crust with fresh ingredients or toppings to add to it. Made it a delight to eat. Would definitely be coming back here because this location is closer to our home .

This place is awesome, it’s big for a carne Rosa. The chefs, salad bar people, and service staff are amazing. If the manager is in red, needs to stay out of the way and trust the crew and help out wherever is needed. Gotta get dirty for your crew as they do for you. Not entirely sure why the bartender needs to go behind the bar to get water but okay. Mindy’s review is probably spot on, but this place is not known for its brunch menu. Chicken fingers at an Italian restaurant? I am surprised about the service. Nonetheless, management should have know better. Start with a short brunch menu with Italian food. It’s common sense. Also, have your staff vote on eliminating one item from each section.

Atmosphere only gets a bad review since the food was trash. I’m never coming back. The food here always takes forever. The chicken is NOT seasoned and it is over cooked. I have never had dry chicken thigh, it’s the best part of the chicken!! Gravy is wayyyyyy too salty and the tater tots were ice cold. Save your money and skip brunch here. Biscuits were good the only thing in the whole meal really worth eating. Manager asked how my meal was, but didn’t give me a chance to answer before walking away to take her break. Food here is disgusting!! Service isn’t great either, bartender was kind of rude after I let her know how bad the chicken was. I was basically not worth helping after answering her question about how the food was. Disgusting!!!!

My first time visiting Cane Rosso. I sat at the bar. The Bartender was super friendly and very knowledgeable on the menu and history of the place and the pizza. I took his recommendation on my order.the flavor of the pizza and toppings was very good but it was extremely soggy underneath there was literally moisture on the plate. I’m not sure why that is. I wish it was a crisp I even asked when placing my order for it to be crispy It was almost impossible to pick up the slice without it falling apart🤷‍♂️😩. If only the pizzas Was not soggy, it would’ve been a five star.

Just had a wonderful lunch! Pizza was incredible as always, some of the best if not the best in North Texas. However, what really elevated our meal experience was our server, Jasmine! She is what every server should strive to be. Friendly, happy and very conscious about taking care of her customers. She made some great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed to make our meal very enjoyable! Keep up the great work Jasmine!!!! 5 Stars!! David & Kathi

This was my first time being here and I absolutely love the atmosphere. Victoria is super sweet and on top of great customer service the place is busy but clean and tidy. Also Jacob is very nice my heart is so warm with joy. I almost never find a place that checks off all the points on my list. I will return and I’m hoping my review helps bring more business to Cane rosso because you guys truly deserve it.

Good Food, Good Service, Good choice of both Wine and Beer. Ambiance is very Naborhoodie, lots of folks with their small children, come early or make reservations. They do have an outdoor seating area. Very Loud 72.4 dbm which is the same as your Vaccuum cleaner going constantly near you. And of course loud atmosphere makes small children get louder.

I had a nice time at this Cane Rosso location. I went with my wife and newborn daughter and our server Jack was nice, attentive and got us out quick. We got the Caesar salad and the Cane Rosso pizza. The salad was a little salty but the dressing was bomb. The pizza was good. The server let us know ahead of time it would be a little soft but it wasn't too bad. Overall I enjoyed my visit.

Amelea J.

The honey bastard is ok - the bacon marmalade isn't for everyone. The pizzas are good, love the bubbles in the crust, the under carriage is perfect, but I wish there wasn't flop. Brussels sprouts were good, but the star of the show were the rosemary tots. They're not featured on the menu, but you can get that as a side.

Trying a new Cane Rossi near us and it was okay. The pizza was just okay. Service was great and the location is better for us , but we needed to ask for all the condiments to add taste. Beer was cold so that was nice.

I LOVE THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS HERE I mean so flavorful and always tastes great! The Billy Ray valentine always always always hits the spot. Expect longer wait times, but I promise it's worth it!!

Jo R.

We went there for a late lunch on a Saturday. We sat inside, but the staff seemed to be more focused on the outside tables. when we finally got our food, the 'nugs' were cold and the pizza was soggy. I couldn't find any wait staff, so I just put some money on the table and left.

This was my 3rd or 4 time visiting Cane Rosso, but my first time at their new location. I came on a weekday mid afternoon, and was one of 4-5 people in the restaurant. I was attended to immediately & my waiter help me decide on which pizza I wanted to try. My usual is the honest bastard. The billy ray did not disappoint at all! If you enjoy the honey bastard, you will def love this one. It wasn't as spicy as the honey bastard, but equally light and flavorful. I also ordered a mocktail that wasn't really good but the bartender tried his best to meet my needs given the restrictions. Overall I had a good time and enjoyed my early dinner. Def will be back to try other flavors.

I love this place. It's fun and the food especially the pizza is excellent. It's cooked wood fire at 900°F for 90 seconds. They have excellent drink selection and even brunch on the weekends. Great spot the family and friends.

Levy C.

Yelp

We are so glad that Cane Rosso has a new location near me on Arapaho/ Hillcrest. We have been a fan of their wood flame pizza for years but it was always too far away for just a pizza. This location is very family focus because they are in the neighborhood of families and elementary schools. The area adjacent to the restaurant is a giant park for kids. While we love the pizza and the sides salads it is the pizza we crave. They have all the exotic types of pizza with interesting topping, my wife is a meat lover pizza gal and that is what we get. They have locations around the city so you are probably near one. Go get the pizza and thank me later.

Patrice T.

Yelp

Great food! Great service! We weren't rushed, everyone was nice. I liked how it went from a family restaurant to more of a bar vibe when it got later. Lots of seating options. Overall would definitely go back.

Nick J.

Yelp

Been to Cane Rosso a few times and it keeps getting better each time. I love how quickly we get seated, how quickly the food comes, and the variety of pies on the menu. The avant-garde pop culture artwork is really cool to check out while you're waiting/as you're eating. This place is a good place to go to if you're looking to try experimental combinations, would also highly recommend Industrial Pizza for the same reason. It's not the place, however, if you're looking for traditional family pizza night. The pizzas are smaller than your favorite delivery spot and the combos are probably too out there for your little kids to enjoy. So it's a great date spot. Not the best family spot.

Betsy W.

Yelp

Not as good as it used to be now that the chef changed. Salads are much smaller but the same price - they are no longer an entree size. and we left hungry. Was told some of the appetizers we no longer as good either. Hope the new chef can turn things back around.

The house made pasta is amazing. You can definitely taste the difference. The cheesy garlic bread is out of this world.

Carolina E.

This review is for the kitchen! The folks in the kitchen are the real stars here, hands down! (If this review was based 100% on the kitchen I would have given 5 stars). We had gone to the Carrollton location where the service was incredible but the food was plated normally. This location is the exact opposite, the plating and attention to detail from the chefs and everyone in the kitchen was 5 star while the service was normal (not outstanding or anything to write home about). My call out for future improvements on service: you can easily upsell as a server by just asking your table if they want another drink or dessert or whatever instead of bringing a table their check.

Justin H.

Yelp

The food is low quality I might as well bought a pizza from 7-Eleven my wife asked me why I keep giving them chances. I don't know I'm not going to anymore.

Frank S.

Yelp

4/4 GOOD. We get the honey bastard and the meat lovers version of their pizza. They also have an amazing fried dough which sometimes is a hit or miss since sometimes it's nice and fluffy, and other times it's not. The staff is cool and hip, and they have an assortment of drinks including my favorite which is the Frozé. Ambiance is great because there is a giant pizza oven that is out in the open for everyone to see. Make sure to make a reservation before going and try to make it on time, otherwise your table will be given away. Enjoy!

Jane H.

Yelp

I know this is a pizza joint but since I had already had pizza once this week I went for the chicken parm sandwich. It was so good! Highly recommend this entree! I think our server might have been new. He was very soft-spoken and the restaurant was loud so that was unfortunate. He also did not appear to know the menu well. Lastly, my friend and I got separate checks and it was separated completely wrong. Since the amounts were similar, I just let it go. We got the Edgar dessert pizza. It may have been a fluke but the middle part of the crust was extremely soggy. For that reason, I would not get it again.

Kat S.

Yelp

Heard lots of great things but was disappointed in our food and service. We made a reservation in advance for a party of 10 and had a very inexperienced server with no help - but there was less than 50% occupancy for the night so it didn't seem to make sense. (drinks weren't offered until after food was ordered, we had to chase those down, gluten crust was served to a child with Celiac disease but thankfully the parent triple asked and they didn't eat it)...this was after we told them it was a special occasion when calling and arriving. The pizza I tried (arugula and prosciutto) was not edible. The crust was delicious, I tried another persons order (CBF) and it was good but the one I ordered had so much garlic on it that it made our tongues burn and we actually tasted garlic the next day. Don't get me wrong, we love garlic, don't measure when cooking with it and always add extra - but this was truly inedible, as if a jar of minced garlic was spilled on top and covered by green. The amount of arugula on it looked pretty but also took away from the flavor. CBF was delicious. My child loved the sausage pizza and the kids servings were very generous portions and good prices. I'd try again with a smaller party and different location.

William W.

Yelp

I came here with two friends. The food was good but the service was terrible. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our drinks. At this time there were only two other tables with guests. When our drinks came out, our waiter could not remember whose drink order was whose. When we asked for water the waiter brought us a pitcher and expected us to pour our own glasses. We had to ask for our check and when the waiter brought the check, it was not split so we had to ask for a split check and when the waiter came back with a split check, it was all wrong and then the manager came over and tried to figure out how to spit our checks. We had to write what we ordered on the checks. The manager was very nice and was able to split our check appropriately. I would not recommend this location.

What a blessing it is I have a business that you open a new location for and you are slammed busy from day one! Such is the case for the owners of this establishment. I have been trying to come to this place for over a week since they open and there has been up to an hour and a half weight every time I have come. Finally mid afternoon on Sunday I was able to get in. Every location I have ever been to has great service. This one was not an exception to that. But the weak Link in the experience for me on Sunday who were the hosts as I walked in. They seemed a little stressed and honestly I kind of felt like in their minds they were thinking oh man not another person. It's hard to explain but it was a less than welcome feeling. Other than that my experience was great. We were seated and greeted by our waiter and the experience torque on a completely different feel. We first ordered the cheese nugs and they were pretty decent. We also ordered a variety of pizzas including the Johnny Utah and a margarita pizza as well as a pepperoni pizza. All three were delicious. My only very mild dissatisfaction was the placement of the basil on the Margherita pizza. By the time we left it seemed that the greeters have found themselves and we're in a much better mood. Or maybe they were just happy to see us leave LOL!

5 month old location opened near doctor's office, I couldn't pass up a chance to check it out. Great setting just west of Hillcrest facing south to Arapaho. As soon as I walked in the door, the familiar aroma of Cane Rosso welcomed me back. Nice greeting by the bartender and comfortable seating. Bartender/Hostess/ Manager was very pleasant and she checked on me several times to make sure my experience was perfect. My server Hayden said he was new but knew the menu very well. Offering great suggestions. After a quick scan of the menu for anything new and different from our other favorite locations, I chose the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned and STRAIGHT FIRE Pizza w/Calabrian chile béchamel, hot soppressata, jalapeños, mushrooms, housemade mozzarella. WOW! absolutely delicious, nice crunch left in the fresh Jalapeños, not too hot, a great flavor combination. As my experience winded down, I knew they offered the Tiramisu Brick dessert and had to get it to go. Definitely worth the wait relaxing at home. I recommend this location highly, knowing I'll be looking forward to my next doctor's appointment to visit again.

My wife and I are locals and go to Cane Rosso often once a week, especially for their fine happy hour. We usually order the house wine, a salad, and pizza. We are never disappointed. The staff is friendly and management under Victoria is quite good. A deserved five stars!

Sean M.

Yelp

I used to love Cane Rosso just because of the outstanding Neapolitan pizza's (Honey Bastard & Zoli are my favorites), delicious frozen drinks, and fantastic family oriented atmosphere with huge outdoor play area. But NOW, I love it EVEN MORE - because of the great service, engaging and fun personality and infectious smile of our new favorite bartender/server - SHORTY! She's the best! Next time you visit Cane Rosso on Arapaho, make sure you "GET SHORTY"! You'll have a great meal, and a wonderful service experience to go with it! PS Btw, the chicken parm sandwich is THE BOMB! Crispy tender and juicy breast, topped with melted mozzarella, savory marinara and fresh green lettuce on a ciabatta bun. FUGGEDABOUDIT!!!

Reena M.

Yelp

The food here is OK. not bad, not great. The pizza is good, servers are also really nice. I do think they need to step up their bar menu and appetizer menu. Also not sure if they actually read this, but the restaurant always smells like mildewy towels, like they use the same towels to clean the tables over and over again? They need to use better surface cleaner and paper towels to be more sanitary.

Kathy M.

The most outstanding fettuccine Alfredo I've had in a long time. Just delicious. Also very interesting appetizer or side dish which included burrata cheese, fabulous bread., Balsamic vinegar and cherries. This is excellent food

We went on Saturday, super prompt friendly service! The kids were a mess so we rushed to eat and get out and left our precious pizza leftovers on the table!! I ran back 10 minutes later when we realized and they had already disposed of them. The manager made us a fresh pizza to take home and these weary parents rejoiced! Thank you for killer service always.

Finally a decent pizza place comes near our neighborhood. I ordered the pizzA roni ton tried it out for a start and it turned out to be pretty decent with thin crust. So far so good , we will try other pizzas next time on the menu.

Great spot for the kids. They have an outdoor area with cornhole and a park in the area for the kids. Food is mehhh. I had the mother clicker and the chicken was dryer than the Sahara. Froze was super reasonable but VERY sweet

Devin E.

Yelp

Love the new location, the outdoor space should be amazing in the spring and fall. They're just getting going but we already had great service with excellently prepared pizza. Everytime I go into a Neapolitan pizza place, my instinct is to start with a pizza with toppings, but we start by splitting a margarita pizza and are always glad we did. Such a simple pizza with balanced flavors really shows off how well the pizzas are executed. For round 2, this time, we split a honey bastard. Sweet, savory, spicy, this pizza always impresses whomever we bring to Cane Rosso. Really excited for the new location, be seeing you again soon.

It's okay pizza if that is what you are into. It's meant to be sort of gourmet pizza i guess. Not my thing personally. I would not touch the pasta. It's not bad or anything just super mediocre. The service is on par. And the ambiance is classic family restaurant vibes. Great post soccer tournament type of meal, but nothing special.

Andy R.

Yelp

First let me just say the food (pizza) is pretty good. But the service is great. Visit for first time and we had a party of 11 gave us 2 tables that were close enough for us. Our server (Asher ) handle the services with excellent. Gave us suggestions on what was the best combination for our order. And it came out great. Once he took our drink order and delivered timely he when down the line and took our food order as if it was our final meal for the rest of our lives. Side note: not once did he ever rolled his eyes at our crazy orders or made it seem that he couldn't wait to get us out of there. Place was crowded and lots of noise but made it seem like a fun place to come and enjoy dinner. Our server came by at least 3 times to make sure we had water or if we needed anything else If you are just looking to eat pizza I'm sure you can find many places to go, but if you are looking for great food and great service this is you place. Cane Rosso welcome to Richardson

Love Cane Rosso. Been going for years, since it was a rolling pizza oven at Chocolate Angel. So nice to have one close by. I went with a friend, and we shared the caesar salad and the Zoli. It was delicious. We couldn't stop eating the salad. The pizza was cooked perfectly. So glad to have one close to home.

The food is great and we had an attentive server, but I can't give more stars due to poor restaurant design. The joint sorely needs some sort of sound paneling. It's incredibly loud... Almost painfully so

We used to love this place. we brought and told many friends about the delightful staff and the great HH's and food. We were there tonight meeting friends, we were told the outside sunny area that we always frequent was now an area to wait for take out. I asked if we could order inside and take it and eat out there, they called the manager to ask. Jessica, the manager, told me it wasn't a take out rule but her understaffed decision. I talk with my hands, I had my outstretched palm about 4" from my face asking her what difference did the short, maybe 15' difference make? Jessica dramatically backed up and said don't put your hand in my face, good grief......other customers saw her silly drama act. We were meeting friends there and told our friends about the manager's drama. Since we were meeting friends we decided we would stay. They got there, 2 of us ordered wine, we got one, and after finally realizing the waitress was serving other people and not bringing us the other wine, when she finally walked by us we asked about the other wine....she said she didn't know the other guest ordered one as well, instead of realizing her mistake and quickly grabbing another wine, after about 10 minutes we told a server walking by that we were still waiting on another wine, shortly after that we did get the wine delivered. A once favorite place that we regrettably recommended to many friends, is one that I now will be telling those friends and more....don't go. There are a lot of good restaurant choices, this is no longer one of ours.

Came and ordered pizza for takeout late afternoon today, 11/16. Got home and after a few bites, it tasted burned. Looked at bottom of pizza and slice was almost black. Checked rest of pizza and it was the same. Not edible. I called and let them know and was told a manager would call me. After 2 hours, no one called me so I drove up there and took the burned pizza with me. They were super nice about fixing the order and also gave me a dessert pizza. I get home and guess what....the bottom of the pizza is burned again-not as bad as the first but still has the burned taste. To top it off, the dessert pizza was also burned. What a shame. Last few times I have eaten here it was not burned. Into the trash they go. Waste of money today. Ended up with cereal for dinner.

Best pizza in DFW! We go out of our way to get this pizza. Wish there was one in Allen/Wylie/Murphy area.

Deeg S.

Yelp

The quality of the food is absolutely great. But the thing that bothers me about this location is there an ability to manage the numbers of people who come to the restaurant and need to address their server behavior. There's no reason to have a huge patio space and then tell people that it's not a service area. There also is no reason to hold parties of 25 or more on Saturdays or Sundays during the middle of the lunch hour basically driving normal customers away. Every time we attempt to go to this location there is absolutely no management of the outside seating and while it is a great location to bring your kids, it seems that people sit and squat at the tables while the kids play outside for far longer than they really need to actually eat. I gave the management credit for finding anyone under 25 who's willing to work, but they have absolutely no understanding of how to manage people coming in the time it takes to turnover tables and how to appropriately address customers so they don't get pissed off and just leave like we did today. Next time we will drive all the way to Frisco and go to a location where the management team seems to have their act together in a more professional manner

Food was good last Friday but the service was absolutely the worst. If it was not for the manager Victoria stepping in and saving the evening I would have been an ex customer. The kid who was too busy to fill our waters or bring our food wound up with a real nice $25. Tip. Only because of Victoria. Horrible Horrible waiter. Fantastic manager. I have way too many choices to have a baddddd attitude kid ruin my dining choices.

This is what I ordered vs. what I actually got. The small amount of toppings were all concentrated in the middle... even the cheese. This is a $21 pizza and is the size of a normal medium pizza. I gave it 2 stars because the parts with toppings were pretty good. Hopefully this was a fluke and not the standard.

Fabian C.

Yelp

Came here on the Saturday before Mother's Day for brunch with my family of 5. Wasn't very full at all. Enjoyed the outdoor seating, and the kids enjoyed the corn hole (you have to leave your ID to get the bags). Food was very very good. I'm from NY, so I'm a bit picky with pizza, and the key is the dough, which was excellent! Charred well, with good flavor and chew. Had the Betty (pretty good), kids had pizzas (all good). Wife had the Honey Bastard, but what REALLY surprised me, was that she had it on THE BEST GLUTEN FREE DOUGH we've EVER had. Normally gluten free doughs just suck, but this one was WELL worth the $5 extra. I'm sure it's busy with a different crowd on Friday and Saturday nights, but we'll be coming back for sure because the pizza is well worth it.
