Food scene
Wonderful mom and pop Italian restaurant. Homemade dishes, including fried zucchini, Vinci oil with fresh garlic bread and my favorite, the chicken murphy. Usually a quiet and relaxing environment, this sweet couple is super accommodating. I’m not a pasta person, so they always let me sub for extra veggies! Love strolling in historic downtown Wylie after dinner!

Local brewery in downtown Rowlett. Great food and lit up outdoor patio- hot chicken and vegetables and the brisket grilled cheese are some of our favs.
