Food was probably best Italian of Dallas. Services was great. Though our table Was already there, they were about to not Let me in because I arrived one minute before their 15 min grace period. The waiter was great at recs. Good atmosphere but a little too low on the lighting. Good for veggie eaters. Clam pizza was the best though.

Hidden gem at a strip mall in Highland park. Nonna didn’t disappoint. The prices are on the higher side, but that is to be expected in Highland park and at a restaurant that feels more authentic compared to other Italian options in Dallas.

Brett took us care of us well. Cappelleitti in spicy meatball sauce was fantastic, Farfalle with shiitake mushrooms was very rich and great consistency. The lounge is beautiful and the main room is more intimate. Apple Curatti dessert was delicious as well! Drinks were decent.

I came in with high expectations, but unfortunately left feeling a bit underwhelmed. While the food was tasty, it didn’t quite feel special enough to justify the premium prices. The service was a bit of a letdown—slow and somewhat disorganized—which affected the overall experience. I'm glad we had the chance to try it, but I’m not sure I’d return.

Hostess should make you feel more welcome! Showed up early to a 7:15pm dinner reservation but was made to feel it was impossible to be seated until then. (my only disappointment was how we were greeted upon entry. Hosted should make your experience from the moment you walk in feel special and I would say it was a bad taste to start! ) Luckily for us we decided to sit at the bar and had a wonderful experience with Mario. Food was excellent as well!

The main dining room area is small, but beautiful and intimate. It initially started rough as we waited a while before getting tended to. Our server also doubled as the bartender so he was busy making drinks. But eventually he was more attentive. We had a pizza as an appetizer and order several entrees. What's different about their entrees is that they are served as mid size entrees. You can pay $9 more for a full entree. However the mid-sized is still quite a significant portion. This gives a nice option for people who are not huge eaters or would like to have appetizers and a pizza starter. The Italian food served here is very good might even go as far as to say it might be better! The pizzas are unique and very tasty. The pasta dishes are delicious. The fried olives are incredible and so good. Looking forward to coming back again to try other entrees. Friday and Saturday nights the offer jazz entertainment.

Excellent service from the whole team. Mario took great care of us at the table and the mixologists behind the bar kept our spirits up and the kitchen was on point with an amazing meal! Truly a happy birthday! Thanks Nonna Tabu!
The food was good. We felt like other than the high prices and pretentious guests, nothing about this restaurant made it "high end."

The best Italian food I had since visiting Italy! The menu here changes frequently, so you can’t take for word the photos you see on line… that said, I was pleasantly surprised with the menu that was available when I visited earlier this month. Clearly the chefs chose to work with seasonal ingredients and it certainly came through in the flavor of the dishes. The prices were fitting if a top end restaurant. If you go with the traditional Italian method of four courses + dessert, be prepared to spend around $80 ~ $100 per person (before drinks). The portions were generous and I feel the price was well worth the meal. You do have the option to order ala cart if four courses are too much. In all honestly, you could easily split some of the courses between two, save a bit of money and still leave feeling very full and satisfied. Service was excellent, atmosphere was classy. An all around a great spot for a fancy date night.

Best Italian food I’ve found in DFW so far. David, our waiter was fantastic. Cool ambiance, the only thing I would have changed was turning up the music volume a notch or two.

Definitely a hidden gem. I've been twice to watch the amazing Dana Harper sing. Both times, the food and drinks were excellent. They have a rotating menu which I was unaware off. Came back looking to reorder this delicious crab and lobster fried rice, but it was not being offered. I went with the Brussel sprouts, a pasta dish with fried calamari and a wonderful ice cream topped peach pastry that was so buttery and delicious. 5 stars on the food. To drink, I had a Mezcal based drink called a Naked & Famous that was nothing short of phenomenal. Food and drinks are a bit on the more expensive side, but the combination of amazing food/drink, ambiance, and amazing music make it well worth it.
