Love this place! Always have great service, never a bad meal, and the prices are great. The Chicken Jerusalem is to die for! If you want a bottle of wine make sure you pick it up on the way, they dont serve alcohol but you can bring your own for a corking fee.

As a pizza fanatic, I went in specifically to try the local Pizza due to the good reviews. When I asked for a half a pizza, I was informed it would take almost an hour. I was shocked since the restaurant was only half occupied. Ended up having pasta, which was good. Just wish I couldve tried the pizza.

I have never left a bad review, but I will never go there again. My wife and I went there for lunch and I saw beef stroganoff on the special. I assume its on special at a lower price. When I got the bill it was $50. I asked the waitress if that was a mistake and she said no, it was $50. Really!!! Beef Stroganoff for $50? It was good, but not $50 good.

Not one to make a post to complain, food is always great here. However, the common trend we see these days within food service. Long wait times, or short staffed which leads to long delays in food service. The server was pleasant and doing her best, while waiting on the kitchen. And it was noticeably warmer than usual. Perhaps Texas is just too much to for AC units this time of year. Parking: Parking is tough around the busiest of hours especially when sharing the lot with other businesses.

Honestly, never been there before, but I made a reservation, and was pleasantly surprised. The service was fast, the waiters were attentive, the food had a natural taste it it, meaning it was overloaded in flavor like how we Americans usually consume our food. Its more pricy than, say Olive Garden, but only by about $2 a plate. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian selections, but I eat meat, so I wasnt really paying attention to those dishes.

We have eaten here before and have purchased the bread & oil to go, thoughly enjoyed everything!!! On Friday I purchased a dozen of the rolls & oil to go!!! I received the rolls in a pizza box and didnt bother to look at them. When we got home, the tops of half of the rolls were burnt & the bottoms not cooked through AND no oil!!!! Even though my purchased was only $5, we are very disappointed, as we were having them for a family dinner in Lamesa.

We are passing through Midland on vacation and we re looking for something Italian. The garlic rolls were delicious and the dipping sauce offered the perfect amount of zing from the balsamic. We ordered the Special pizza with all the toppings. Crust was thin and lightly crisp, perfect to our liking. Plenty of toppings and cheese. Our daughter got the spaghetti with marinara. The sauce was the best consistency and clung to the noodles perfectly and wasn t too sweet. Would be a regular if we were from the area.

Lets start off with the special, 95.00 for an HEB steak that was supposed to be medium rare and came out medium at best. Served with two burnt scallops and 3 hard asparagus. Very disappointing. Now the seafood platter was disheartening as well, it tasted like the sea and not in a good way. The manicotti tasted like it was straight from the freezer. The cokes were flat. The fried calamari was bland. The best part of the meal was the bread. My family and I sure expected more for the price ($211.00). Just a disappointment completely. I gave it 1 star because I couldnt give an lower.

Lets start out pricing is ridiculous. 100 dollars for 2 burnt scallops, 3 basically raw asparagus, and overcooked steak. Seafood platter was undesirable, Im from the south and that was the worst seafood Ive personally ever had. Manicotti tasted frozen not fresh and wrong noodles, also arrived cold. Fried calamari and cheesesticks where flavorless. Tortellini was okay. Bread was the best part for me.

My wife and I love the food from this place but the last 3 times ordering takeout the food has never been ready on time or correct. When they say 30-45 minutes, give them an hour and you ll still probably have to wait. Also, check your food before you leave especially if you order protein on your pasta. They have forgotten the protein both times and we have made an extra trip back. Tonight we called when we found the protein was missing, gave them 30 minutes before we got back to pick up 2 grilled chicken breasts, and they still weren t ready so I had to wait another 10 minutes. Probably won t be ordering takeout from them again or at least for sure won t without checking every entree to make sure it s right before I leave.

My favorite dish is tortellini alla Rosa with shrimp added.

We constantly have issues with this place but we continue to go back because the food that is correct, is great. 1. Manager was too busy to take my call. 2. Lady argued with me on the phone that the kitchen doesn t see any special requests on the tickets that come over from the app. 3. I asked her to confirm the food was correct before I left and she said she did. 4. We would ve gone back to them had the lady in the phone not argued with us.

Fresh bread tasted really good. Nice and warm. What I didn t like - 1. I ordered a Neapolitan Pizza (Cheese only) - It was a regular cheese pizza, nowhere close to what a real Neapolitan Pizza would be. Cheese was very rubbery and hard to chew and swallow. I was very much looking forward to a nice pizza but had an unpleasant experience with it.

Over 1 hour from the time we sat down and ordered until the meal arrived. The ice was melted in my empty drink for 20 minutes before a server came back by. The food was ok at best. Very disappointing experience. At least I can check this place off the list of restaurants worth visiting in Midland. Pretty par for the course in Midland for dining out though. Our waitress was terrible, my food was too salty and my spouses pasta was undercooked not al dente as one would expect but undercooked after 1 hour waiting it was still somehow undercooked.

I ll start off by saying the food is absolutely delicious. The reason for the 3 starts is the service. Our waitress was Eleni, everything was great in the beginning until our food was brought out. She didn t come check on us at all. We needed refills and more parm as the shaker that was on the table was almost empty when we got there. She was very attentive to her other tables just not ours. Maybe we weren t light skinned enough like her other tables who knows. Point is I had to ask the hostess for our check since we had been done for a while. Btw way the sodas were flat and hot.

We ordered Togo food and they forgot a portion (calzone) and when we called and told them they said oh ok we ll give you a free dessert if you drive all the way back here Once we got there the guy handed me the one bag and nothing else. I assumed the dessert was included but it was not. When my father in law called and asked about the desert, they said oh you never said what kind of dessert so we just decided to not give you anything What an absolute failure. Drove to the restaurant twice for one meal for their mistake and 0 attempt at making the situation any better. Calzone was mid anyways.

I had the fettuccine primavera which was delicious, and so much that I had to bring some home. My husband ordered the meat lover pizza. He greatly enjoyed it and had some for leftover dinner. His sister got the spinach ravioli. The sauce it came in was divine! So rich and cheesy. Too rich for her, sadly. Then we also shared an order of mozzarella sticks. I loved how the breading was thicker and it was hot to the last bite! The cheese was thick and melted. Just as it should be. Cant wait to enjoy such a meal again. I plan to try something different every time. Vegetarian options: There are plenty of options for vegetarians. Maybe even more than those with meat options.

The freshly made bread was divine. Also enjoyed the vodka sauce penne and eggplant parmesan. It was a rare place where my entire family of 5 unanimously enjoyed their experience.

Wonderful food, but the dessert was not very good. They are now charging a corkage fee for wine. We dont have a problem with them charging the fee but if you are going charge the fee a few things need to happen: 1. Teach your servers how to open wine without breaking the cork. 2. Teach them how to serve it. 3. You need to drop by and pour more wine when needed. Otherwise, you are just looking to make more money off not doing anything.

My husband and I are new in town, we are glad that we chose Rays as our first restaurant because it left a great impression on us. The service was phenomenal and the food even better, they have a great red sauce. I got a Manicotti, my husband got chicken Jerusalem and their salads were very good. This time, we got pizza to go and again we appreciate the good quality. We are now new regular customers.

My wife and I eat here when we are in town from Houston We enjoy the food and atmosphere. Especially like being able to bring our own wine. But now Ray s is charging a $10 corkage fee. I ask what it is for and was told for labor they use a lot of glasses. I really don t get it, they don t pay for a liquor license but want to charge me $10 to pull a cork and clean 2 glasses

Ty and the owner Ray are the BEST! They both made my family feel like a part of theirs. Service is great & food is so good. Hands down the best Italian in town. Definitely get your moneys worth considering the plate portions are more than enough for very low prices. Wish I could give 100 stars! Highly recommend anyone to visit Rays. You will not be disappointed

My family came in on a Thursday around 4:45pm. There were 3 other tables seated, pretty empty. We stood at the hostess stand waiting to be seated for several minutes, had a couple waitresses look at us but no one offered to seat us. My husband finally went and asked if we may seat ourselves and was told yes. We sat at a table in the back near a side door. We had our two young boys with us, one of which was asleep the entire time. Our waitress was very sweet and friendly. Shortly after she took our drink and appetizer order an older gentleman (Im assuming is the owner) approached our table. He was not friendly. He asked my husband if his name was Robert, my husband replied no and told him his name. He told us the table we were sitting at was reserved for Robert. My husband explained why we sat ourselves and asked if we needed to move, the gentleman replied no and just walked away. There was nothing on the table indicating it had been reserved. This made my husband and I both feel uncomfortable. The food came out fast and was probably some of the best Ive had in this area. When we were getting up and walking towards the main entrance to leave the same gentleman approached us and told us we needed to exit through the side door. He came and unlocked it for us, said thank you and locked back up behind us. I have never in my life been made to feel so unwelcome and uncomfortable in a restaurant like that. We should have left after being passed over when we were waiting to be seated. I do not understand the reasoning for asking us to leave through the side door when everyone else that left went through the main entrance. It felt like he did not want us to be seen in his restaurant. Why? I have no clue??? We have heard such good things about this place and we were excited to try it. It was our 1st experience and although the food was delicious we will not be returning.

Wow. Best Italian in Midland by far. We had Lobster Ravioli and (my child devoured it). The chicken Jerusalem was amazing. The Chicken Sunrise was swallowed almost whole by my teenager, and the chicken Alfredo was great with enough chicken so you arent left with too many noodles. All of the meats were cooked perfectly and were not dried out. Kid-friendliness: Staff was polite to children.

My first experience at Rays was unfortunate I dont know if they have consistent problems or that was simply an off night. I will go back and I will update then.

Came here for Mother s Day. I suggested this place based on my previous experience. Today, the Food took a long time to come out and when it arrived it was cold. The portion was much smaller than previous visit. Servers were not attentive. Our glasses remained empty for extended periods of time. Horrible experience.

We called before to reserve a large group and someone had told us we could split the check. We got to the restaurant, ordered, one of the menu items is a steak that costs $80 (the price is not on the menu), and got the check. The check was over $300, and we started to split the check between us. Our waiter then told us we could not split the check. He said he would talk to someone and come back. Minutes passed and no one came by. We asked again to split the check and he said Like I said, we cannot split the check and told us there is new staff here and one may have told us we could have split the check. I understand, but to me, it sounds like miscommunication between the staff. I appreciate the effort to make up for the situation, but the only reason we came to this restaurant was because we were told we could split the check. At this point, it s more about the customers than your regulations, because we were told wrong and somehow managed to pay our way through. Our waiter was extremely patient and kind, but I had higher expectations.

Excellent taste and service a nice man meets you at the door and greets you while holding the door the only thing I have to say is that the portions are bigger than expected the calzone could be two to 3 meals Parking: The parking seems smaller than it is due to there not being enough signs telling you that there is another section of parking behind a building
