I really enjoy Andreas. In a time were mom and pop shops are hard to find and good service is even harder to find Andreas is a great place to eat. It is a small place owned by husband and wife. The wife runs the front and is VERY helpful and pleasent. She gives my kids attention which I love.
The food is good. Their deep dish pizza has a great crust. Their lasagna is one of the few my husband likes. I am not normally a fan of meatballs but have found myself going to Andreas just for their homemade meatballs.
You cant beat the prices! The lunch specials are great. Lots of food for a great price.
Only downfall is no delivery.
In the handful of years I've lived in Texas, there was one thing about Gunter, TX restaurants that I knew. Â They don't exist. Alright, that's a lie. Â There have been a few restaurants that have graced the streets of Gunter, but they quickly seem to disappear. Â All except the Sonic... not that Sonic is a bastion of culinary excellence. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some late night Sonic, but it's hardly considered a restaurant. Â And then along came Andrea's, a small taste of Italy to this even smaller town in Northern Texas.
With a simple menu; pizza, salads and pastas dominate your choice of selections. Â What else could you expect, especially in a time where less is more? Â For those craving classics: Andrea's serves up Lasagna, Chicken Parm, Raviolis and Backed Pasta. Â For the more adventurous, you can choose from 5 different pastas, three different sauces, and two different meat choices. Â The tour of tastes doesn't just stop with Italian at Andrea's, as they serve up wings, gyros and sandwiches. Â
Having visited twice, I've sampled a range of pastas and pizzas. Â Their Chicken Parm was decent, their Calzone of adequate size, and their thick crust pizza pretty acceptable. Â I haven't had a chance to try out their American/Greek fare, but they will be next on my list. Â I won't lie, the food wasn't amazing, but it also wasn't bad either. Â Considering that Andrea's has settled itself in a town more likely to call it "Eye-talian", I think it's worth while.
More importantly, the service there is great and personable. Â Owned by a husband and wife, it's probably the closest thing to home cooking you'll get outside of your own home. (Well, except going to your Grannie's) Â I have some high standards for Italian food, and most places do not come close to cooking that I grew up with. Â But you know what? Â Gunter needs at least someone's Mom's Italian cooking, and Andrea's is it.
