Alright, let’s be honest. When you hear the name Olivella's Pizza and Wine, you probably think of, well, pizza. And yeah, our pizza is pretty legendary (thanks, Rachael Ray!). But if you’re only coming for the pizza, you’re missing out on some seriously fantastic pasta. Here in Lakewood, where foodies have been flocking since forever, we’re bringing a little slice (or should we say swirl?) of Italy to the neighborhood with pasta dishes that might just steal the spotlight.

In Lakewood, we know food. Our little corner of Dallas has seen its share of iconic eateries over the years, from classic burger joints to taco spots that make you forget you’re supposed to eat with a fork. But when it comes to authentic Italian food, Olivella’s Pizza and Wine has carved out a spot as the go-to destination for the best pasta around. If you’re ready for a Lakewood food adventure that might just leave you licking your plate, let’s dive into the pasta dishes that have locals coming back for seconds (and thirds).

Why Olivella’s Pizza and Wine’s Pasta is Lakewood’s Best-Kept Secret

So, what makes our pasta so darn special? Other than the Thursday night BOGO 50% off pasta special, known in Lakewood as “Pasta Thursdays”? For one, we cook our noodles and make our delicious sauces just like nonna did, the old-school Italian way. Nothing but the high-quality ingredients simmered to perfection will do. We take a lot of pride in the food we put on your plate, so you’re not just getting a meal—you’re getting a whole experience. And we think that’s something Lakewood food lovers will appreciate.

Here’s a rundown of some of our pasta favorites that you absolutely need to try should you get lucky and search “pasta near me” or “Italian food near me”:

1. Spaghetti & Meatballs

What’s more classic than Spaghetti & Meatballs. But ours is the quintessence of authentic. We spin our noodles in a 100-year-old Amatriciana sauce over which everyone swoons. It’s hearty, rich, and oh so tomato-y. Our meatballs, tender and moist, round out the plate and make you feel like you sat down for dinner in a restaurant in Rome, Naples, or Milan. 

No wonder people say we’re the best Italian restaurant in Lakewood.

2. Fettuccine Alfredo

Equally classic is our Fettuccine Alfredo. It’s cheesy, creamy, buttery… it ain’t light. But it’s just the type of thing one searches for when seeking “Italian near me.

All of our pastas pair well with Olivella’s Pizza and Wine’s sommelier-curated menu. Especially when on special on Wine Wednesdays and half-price bottle nights, every Tuesday. 

3. Lasagna

Talk about old family recipes! This one’s passed down from our great-great-grandmother. And unlike many lasagnas, ours comes drowning in vodka sauce. And that sauce really brings out the flavors of our ricotta, mozzarella, and veal. It doesn’t get more home-made than our award-winning lasagna.

Perfect for when you want to treat yourself or impress a date with your sophisticated taste (we won’t tell them you Googled “authentic Italian food Lakewood”).
