Como's Italian Restaurant

I have order To Go her twice from here through DoorDash. In all honesty the food is delicious but I never receive silverware or napkins. I never receive any condiments like parmesan cheese or chili flakes. I have yet to step into the restaurant but I hope that if I do go the experience is not as shotty as it is through To Go. The salad is fresh, no cheese and wrong dressing.

First time eating here and it was delicious!! We ordered the fried calamari as an appetizer, and lasagna as an entree. I would rate both 10/10!! Definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!! Can’t wait to go back to eat lasagna again 🤤

We had a work lunch with about 12 people (we had to add 2 more last minute) and it was a wonderful time! Our server Rachel was quick but very patient with our table. We have ordered from here before, but it was my first time being at the restaurant and the already delicious food was complimented by the service we received! I'll be coming back often to show everyone what a gem this place is in El Paso.

Picked this place driving around El Paso deciding on dinner. We like local restaurants plus there was a police vehicle parked outside while the officer was inside presumably eating. The sign next to the door SHOWN ON THIS REVIEW says they close at 9 on Sundays. We walked in at about 635pm and were told they close at 7 on Sundays and the kitchen was already shut down. We spent our money elsewhere. We won't be back.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid in middle school. Nothing really has changed in the 25 years I’ve been coming. Count on amazing service and consistently savory, flavorful food that will keep you coming back every week. My favorite dish is the pizza with shrimp as the topping.

My friend and I came in for lunch. It had been years since I had been here. Last time I ate the fettuccine alfredo. I remember it was good, but this time I wanted to try something different. What better than the combination plate. I figured I would taste 4 different plates. The price I feel is reasonable. $17.95. Unfortunately it was just ok. Everything was smothered in meat sauce. I wasn't able to figure out what was what until I bit into it. Out of the 4 nothing really stood out. I wouldn't order it again. I also had the Tiramisu. That was also OK. That was a little pricey.

Took over 5 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink. It felt like they were a little disorganized and weren't sure who was supposed to serve us. Once we get a server she did a pretty good job. Food was tasty but it wasn't anything amazing. We were a table of 5 and were charged gratuity which seemed like alot but I didn't mind because once we finally got service it was good service.

I've been coming here since I was little with my family and it never disappoints. Service is amazing and the environment is perfect for a calm dinner conversation with the family or maybe even a romantic night if that's what you like. The food is delicious and the menu has a good variety. The portions are a bit big but I don't mind because we can take leftovers home to enjoy another day. It's definitely worth trying out at least once, I've been to other Italian restaurants in El Paso but this is the best one by far.

Yes. The food service and ambiance is wonderful. The owner a beautiful woman and friendly to all goes to each table and asks if everything is to your satisfaction. This has been our place to celebrate birthdays and ordinary days for dinners and lunches since forever and it just gets better ! Excellent.

The food is incredible, and the service is very good as well. It had been quite a while since we last dined here. Our dear daughter selected Como's Italian restaurant to celebrate her birthday today! It was comfortably busy, but not overwhelming. Recommended! 5/5

Both service and salads were good. Entree was somewhat bland. Needed salt and pepper to get through it. But customers beware: suggested tip amounts at the bottom of check include tip on tax. I don't tip on the government's tax.

Price change with no Notice. I will start by saying the food is very good (I will not lie), HOWEVER, beware of price changes without notice. I ordered pick up - two meals for lunch. Veal Cutlet Parmagiana which was 14.95, good price for a lunch, then I ordered Chicken Marsala (again not badly priced at 14.50) for lunch.... However, when I went to pick it up, I was charged 21.95 for the chicken marsala, when I asked them why the very different price, they claimed that price had changed and they could not update it on their website. I think that was a very bad excuse for not honoring the price online. They lost a loyal customer for 7.45. It's not that I could not afford the price difference, but on principal alone, you make good on your advertisement. Sorry Como, you will never see me again. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60768-d405142-r1008459081-Como_s_Italian_Restaurant-El_Paso_Texas.html#

Love their lasagna....delicious. You cannot beat their lunch specials.....hmmmm. The service is always good. I highly recommend it.

I've always liked this restaurant, but haven't been here in years. The food was as good as I remember! I had Chicken Jerusalem- it was marvelous, The chicken was breaded and pan-friend perfectly with a creamy sauce loaded with mushrooms and an artichoke in top! My friend had chicken Marsala and he said His was wonderful as well. I plan to go back!

Food is consistently good. Staff is attentive. It is one of my favorites! If you like Italian, it is the place to go.

I've been coming to Como's since at least the 1980's, and it never disappoints. It has a huge dining room but somehow it has a cosy atmosphere. It's the perfect place to take your out-of-town family or friends. The menu is vast with everything from pasta dishes and pizza to chicken and fish specialties. There's even steak. I ordered the full order of spaghetti and meat sauce. The salad was fresh and delish, with an Italian dressing that was flavorful. As for the main dish, let me just say the portion size is huge, enough for two. But if you're like me, you're not gonna want to share. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce is so good! For dessert I chose the chocolate mousse. It was rich and decadent. I could have used a triple serving, that's how good it was. All in all, prices are reasonable and service was great!

We stopped here for quick lunch instead of Olive Garden. Their food was okay, but bit too pricey compared to Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill. The restaurant has no window. So every time someone opens the door, the entire restaurant lights up and felt weird.

We came here as a big party to celebrate Mother's Day and were very surprised and pleased with how quickly we were sat. Unfortunately, things went south from there. They place is not very big inside, yet, no one bothered to take our drink orders for about 10 minutes, even though plenty of employees passed our table and could probably see that we were visibly annoyed from waiting around. It wasn't until I got up and asked the hostess if we could be waited on, that she sent a bus boy to begrudgingly take our drink order. He was obviously out of his element at that point. Our server finally arrived after waiting several more minutes. Then, after waiting even longer, we finally got our food. The meals were decent. Most of my party ordered the Chicken Parmesan and from what they said, they were prepared well and tasted good. I had the Chicken Jerusalem which was swimming in sauce, mushrooms, and artichokes. It was a good dish but I think they could use a thicker sauce and less of it. Just enough to cover some of the chicken without having to drown it in the sorrows of what could have been a better experience. It had been years since we had been here, and I'll be years before we ever return.

Food was very good! We just wished it would have been HOT. Lasagna came out, kinda warm. The pizza came out definitely warm and not hot at all. We sent it back to be cooked longer. The waitress was super nice. We definitely wanna go back and try it again. This time we just hope the food is hot and not warm. Wasn't too busy either. The atmosphere was kinda dark but I had my cell phone to see the menu. LoL. We met a great couple while there and we hope to see them again. They love that place and raved about it. They noticed we sent back our pizza and were shocked but we told them it was still good. We only ate once slice each and went home and cooked it and enjoyed it. Also, could have used more sauce on the pizza NOT on the side of the pizza as the girl has suggested. So, if you like sauce, ask for extra upfront. Who cares if it cost more.

Ordered through Doordash. VERY GOOD. I would have appreciated utensils and salt & pepper but I would 100% recommend.

Food is amazing, ambiance is warm and family friendly, and service was on point. Can't say enough about the food.... The creamy Italian dressing, the meat sauce, the Como's baked chicken and OMG the Chicken Jerusalem This locally owned family restaurant is worth the trip, EVERYTIME.

The food itself was not good. I got spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce tasted like jarred ragu and the meatball tasted gritty. The garlic bread had no garlic. It was just a buttered bun that was toasted. The staff was very nice. They seemed understaffed so I didn't expect the service to be super fast...and it wasn't. I will definitely never go back. The food just was not good.

Ordered the combo and they didn't put the lasagna on but extra pasta :( We ordered extra sauce for spaghetti and didn't receive it but was charged for it. Food ok Not as good as before.

There is just nothing and I mean nothing good to say. I was there an hour, ordered food and I the only thing I was served was the wrong drink. I will never go back!

For whatever reasons, this is not a restaurant that we frequent but that might change after my last impromptu visit. I was needing to pass the time and decided to treat myself to a nice lunch. I ordered the half pasta with mushrooms and meat sauce and upgraded my salad. My serving size was huge and the food was so fresh and tasty. The sauce was clearly homemade and the mushrooms were huge! I loved my meal and cannot wait to go back! Definitely worth a visit!

My wife and I went yesterday to Como's restaurant. We enjoy eating the Baked chicken with mushrooms. and one of the pizzas when we order, we order half a pepperoni and half sausage pizza. The young lady cleaning tables was very fast and gracious. We were sat down, but it took forever. For the waiter to take orders, we ordered the Baked chicken and half-and-half pizza We waited and waited, and I asked why haven't they brought her salad finally, they brought the salad and a pizza almost together but it was half pepperoni and half cheese no sausage at all. I send it back and waited a while for them to bring it back and the pizza was delicious. When we were sure of the chicken, the chicken was burnt in one side and I had asked that I did not want the garlic and it did have garlic, not much, but it did have garlic. It was delicious. Also, I kept on trying to get the waiter because the chicken normally comes with an order of spaghetti. Yes, the kid that was cleaning tables and he said. did it didn't come with it, but I asked him for the menu and showed him that it does come with spaghetti by the time the waiter came we were ready to go. The food is delicious, but the waiter. I didn't get his name, but he's the only bold person needs to put a little more effort in taking care of the customers and by the way, my wife ordered a regular tea and when the helpers Give her a refill they gave her a sweet tea instead of the regular one and she put sugar on it so it was super sweet and couldn't drink it so we I didn't have any luck at Como's this time around, whereas we normally enjoy eating there The waiter again needs to take more time and listen to what people order thank you

We absolutely loved the food and service here for our date night and are looking forward to coming back. We came a little later in the day, closer to close, but they still seated us and served us before the kitchen closed. The food was amazing and we all got to taste each other's food (so good!). They offered to serve is dessert even though we were the last table still in the restaurant and we declined just because we didn't want to keep them any longer. Amazing food and service!

The service was awful. If it wasn't that me and my friends being told how awesome the food is we would have left. The food was very good but as far as everyone else, they should be replaced with a professional staff.

I ordered a combination pizza and a Choice of pasta, sauce, topping and salad dinner. I had the food delivered by GrubHub which got here within 45 minutes. At first look the pizza seemed extremely small to me for a $20 plus pizza. There were no utensils for me to eat my meal with and no napkins. Once I took a bite out of the pizza the toppings didn't seem to be cooked, more or less just warmed up and placed on the pie. There wasn't that much cheese on the pie and the bread is probably some of the worst crust I've ever had. No flavor, over cooked bread. So I decided to eat my custom pasta, sauce, topping and salad. The pasta was done well, it's a basic angel hair pasta. The meat sauce was decent at best I'd give it three out of five stars, I also got meatballs as my topping. Just like the pizza crust on the combination pizza this is probably been the worst meatball I have ever had. Honestly the majority of the meal really just has no flavor. The bread is plain, the salad was half assed, the pasta is basic, the sauce it's mediocre, and I would've been better off if I had not eaten the meat balls. There really was just no spice or flavor to any of it.

I love this place very small intimate restaurant , very good , fresh food , service wasn't all there but the food and garlic bread was worth it . I feel like all the reviews on here are hater based and are giving it a bad rep .

Last night was my first time ordering/dining here.. the service was attentive but slow soup was (heat) hot as it should be. Our meals arrived hot and tasty.. after 2 bites of mine I asked my partner "does this tomato sauce taste burnt?" And that it was.. that answered the question why the 2 men at another table returned their food as I did.. My question is if the server / kitchen knew the sauce was burnt, why serve it?? I'm not sure if I'll be back.. I certainly won't recommend Como's to anyone

Went in on November 2 for my birthday because my daughter is vegan and she can actually eat there showed up about 6:30 in the evening and tables were dirty, the side door to the kitchen was open next to the dumpster- and we didn't even get a waiter to greet us for about 20 minutes when we arrived... this was a simple during the week visit to celebrate my birthday and they couldn't even service us, as soon as we sat down and asked them if they could get my daughter her food by 8 o'clock as we had already been sitting for 30 minutes they told us it "depends"...so we just got up and walked out the restaurant, seem dirty, server didn't even introduce herself... it almost seem like we were bothering them being there, it's unfortunate because this is a well-established restaurant, I would've expected more.

Everything Delicious ! Service was awesome. Will tell family and friends. Best italian food in town !

I went in with my family of 3 to dine in after lunch rush. Restaurant was half empty and I was offered the only table by the door, which was windy and cold outside and you could feel it when door would open. I asked for different table and hostess/cashier told me that was all they had available that other tables where for larger parties (again restaurant was half empty). I had to leave as I wasn't going to sit my 6 year old by the door knowing that there were at least half of the restaurant tables available. We love the food here, however that is not the way to take care of customers.

Delicious Italian restaurant . The food was delicious and the service could not have been better. I highly recommend this place for any occasion.

Ordered "baked beef ravioli with mozarella. When we got the bill, not only were we charged the menu price for the item, but a second "baking charge" of $2.25 ! Not the way to win friends (OR keep customers)! Better confirm pricing if you care what you're being charged.

I have ordered delivery three times. I find Como's food is great meatball sandwiches to ricotta and spinach pie. It reminds me of the Italian from up north. Fresh ingredients and yes the best chocolate moose,

Super delicious taste with many options to choose from. This was my first time coming here and recommend to anyone looking to try something new

Food was terrible, terrible, better off buying chef boyardee. Total waste of money. Everything tasted like crap, reminded me of cafeteria food on a bad day. So disappointed, this was my cheat meal and they just ruined my whole week. I dont know how they got 3 stars cause I mean, I really had the bar set low when I ordered here given lack of real Italian restaurants here but damn, it was one of the worst foods that I have ever eaten, so pissed off I spent 51 bucks on crap, they make olive garden seem gourmet. Never again, total waste of money, how they are still in business amazes me. Wish I could give them no stars. I took two bites and gave the rest to my poor dog which I know is terrible

First time trying this place and it was very good. The food was very tasty. The only thing that kinda annoyed me is that they don't have windows and it's very dim inside. The green Chile enchiladas are bomb

Ate here for my daughter's BDay. 2 folks in our foursome always opt for the pizza and veal piccata. They love it. My daughter had the orange roughy -lots of lemon and garlic. It was quickly gone. I had lasagna. Very good, but the marinara could be spicier. We finished with key lime & cheesecake. Both excellent. Definitely an older place, but quite homey after adjusting to the entrance which places you in the dining room and the low light.

I'm not naive in thinking that El Paso is some type of foodie haven, and as I expand my experiences outward, its glaringly obvious to me that local versions of ethnic staples are profoundly abysmal in quality. The city's primary example is this restaurant, Como's, which has been consistently rated as the top Italian joint for several years. If local rival Cappetto's is Italy's Giacomo Puccini, then this place is Tennessee's Rascal Flatts. What was supposed to have been a very basic meal, turned out to be a crucible in dining. When the server finally decided that HE was ready to take our orders, I asked for the spaghetti with meat balls and a dinner salad. On the salad, I wanted olive oil and a side of lemon. This seemed absurd to him, but he agreed. I was pretty amused to find out that the absurdity was in the fact that the salad consisted of wet iceberg lettuce, which, in fact, tastes like garbage combined with olive oil, salt, and lemon. I guess I expected something a bit more creative from El Paso's "numero uno" Italian spot. The spaghetti with meatballs were hardly any better. Actually, i think the dish was worse than the salad. The sauce tasted very much like watery Ragu, like they were trying to make the sauce stretch for the rest of the evening, and the meatballs were burnt and hardened so that you couldn't eat a single one all the way through. The chianti was the only thing worth rating as a positive although it was served in a water-spotted carafe. I truly feel for El Paso for what passes as suitable dining in this city.

Comos, more like No-mos. the food was lack luster, the service was good, but that's easier when there are only 3 tables with guests. Ordered Manicotti, and it both looked and tasted as though it was from the frozen aisle of a convenience store. This once great institution is sad, empty and devoid of life and love.

Delicious homemade Italian food. Not like the chain restaurants. Pizza is delicious as well as the huge chicken parmigiana. The Comos baked chicken w garlic and mushrooms is my favorite!

Cane to have an early dinner with my beautiful wife before we head out to go catch a concert. This was the first time for my wife and i hadn't been here in a while so was a bit leery hoping the food was as good as i remember. Well I'm glad to say it was delicious! My wife ordered the Veal Parmigiano and i had the Green Chile Chicken Lasagna. My wife's plate was not skimpy on the portions and it was very yummy. She raved about the tomato sauce and the lil sample she gave me was yummyy..My lasagna was oh so delicious. The green Chile cream sauce was scrumptious and my wife enjoyed that also. The perfect topper was the bread pudding with ice cream. The pudding came out nice and warm and melted the vanilla ice cream perfectly. My wife was happy thus i was happy as well and we will definitely be back...

We ordered the combination Spaghetti, lazana, manicotti, & rigatoni..... We ask to substitute the rigatoni for another manicotti. The waiter said no problem. We got our meal & my boys said where's the manicotti? We told the waiter & he brought us all a half of a piece of manicotti.....& were charge for it. What's up with that???? My husband asked for meat balls on his spaghetti with meat sauce. Didn't get it & was charged for it....... Food was good but just makes you wonder about the cook...

We were looking for some good Italian food and tried this place on a recommendation. Place was busy but we were able to get right in. I got the chicken parmigiana. It was really good. Wife got the chicken Jerusalem and really liked it. Great hole in the wall place. No straws though.

The food is always amazing! The service is great. Best Italian restaurant in El Paso!

Walked in at 8pm tonight. Website and sign on outside of building said open until 9pm. Host gave a smug look and responded in derogatory tone they were already closed. Don't advertise you are open until 9 if you don't mean it!

The service was great. The drinks came out quick. The attention on the staff was on point. As for the food, it was not very good at all. The pizza was very bland with no sauce. The spaghetti had nothing that really stood out. There was way too much sauce for the noodles, and their sauce was bland. Even their garlic bread was cheaply put together. It's a wonderful atmosphere if they just put some time into their food, it would thrive in El Paso.

This place is a hidden gem! Authentic, fresh, Italian food. We've been here twice already ( my husband comes often during lunchtime with his co-workers), and each time the food AND service is spectacular. I noticed that this place does not have many reviews, but my guess is that it's because a lot of the clientele are older folks (i.e. probably not on Yelp). This place is good though! Don't let the exterior fool you, or scare you away. Definitely a must try.

Como's was my friend Dee Anne's favorite restaurant. I like to go to Como's because of Dee Anne. She always got the rigatoni. I love their salads and bread and their food. But over the last three years I have developed a soy allergy. Como's has a sign that they use high quality cooking oil and that is not true. They use soybean oil. The only thing I was able to order recently was pasta primavera. While it was my first time eating noodles and veggies there, it was pretty good but I would rather have had the rigatoni or something more indulgent. So Como's if you are reading this, use olive oil or canola, PLEASE, I beg you!!

I just don't get it! I've had lots of Italian at lots of places and to see a great locally owned place like Como's get a bad rap and places like Olive Garden get away scott-free makes me really doubt El Paso's credibility as anything but a place for super bummy folks to hang out. I mean... Greasy, nasty, soaked-soup-tacos get five stars but not Como's? Anyway... The food is ALWAYS good, I've gone so many times out of living here in El Paso it'd be super difficult to count all of them but I've never had a bad experience there. Whether it's just with my wife or going with the whole family. They are a bit slow on the service side but I aways find it to be totally worth it. A couple of completely overly picky people gave this place one-star and that's ridiculous because there are so many worse places that deserve it, so many awful chain restaurants and crappy fast food joints to give one star to. Why give it to a place that really does do a good job? The worst part is people knocking off stars for the interior? Who cares if the food is good, maybe I'm being to passable but I don't think so... I recommend the clam and garlic pizza, it's amazing. They are VERY expensive though, that's one thing I can agree with. Really though, their calzones are crispy, flaky and golden - delicious and just the right amount of combinations of flavor. What is it about El Paso's people that they love awful places and hate great things?

This place has terrible service and the guy that works there as a hostess had an attitude and was took FOREVER with everything he did

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. The only good thing about this place was the server. He was nice and kept a good eye on us. The ambiance is very dark, kind of like a nightclub or a bar. Upon arrival we ordered our drinks. I saw our server coming towards us with a bowl and I expected maybe some bread and some dipping oil of some sort....wrong! We got saltine crackers and some sort of low quality sliced cheese. I ordered the chicken picatta and the sauce was broken and oily with a very strong aftertaste. I ate about half of it cause I was starving. My party of 3 was very unimpressed with their meals We had 3 dishes, 2 of us had a glass of wine and one of us had water. $80.00 would have been no problem if we would have been served some nice bread and if the food was good but none of us were happy with the flavors of our food and the saltine crackers to start our meal. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Great customer service very nice and polite servers, the food was also very excellent. You can't go wrong with a bottle of Lambrusco wine as well.

They are not joking when they say number one Italian restaurant. I don't live in town anymore so when I fly in I have to go there at least once. The pizza is the best. It's huge, cheesy and full of toppings. If you have the time order the Chicken Jerusalem - very tasty but requires a long preparation time.
