This is marketed on their website an an intimate spot, cozy and family oriented. It is a big restaurant playing club music at a very loud level. Almost surreal. Our server was great. Food was very good unti entree then failed. Worst part the owner or whoever he was held course in the corner ordering countless bottles of wine, visited by the chef for 40 minutes and the other co owner NEVER left his table. We are so sad how this turned out

Incredible food, service, and overall experience. Garrett is the new head chef and is fantastic, with constant new additions to the menu to compliment the familiar favorites. Some of the best Italian food in Dallas.

Celebrated an anniversary tonight, first time dining at Nonna. Wally was our server and he never missed a beat, gave us the perfect recommendations, and really made our night. The food was superb so we left no crumbs. Every dish knocked it out of the park and the timing was seamless! Nonna is the definition of a well-running machine, can’t wait to come back.

Fell in love at first taste. Great attention to quality and detail. Extensive Italian wine list. I'll be dreaming about the bread. Can't wait to return.

Loved the atmosphere of this place , and the clam white pie was delicious. Also ordered the pasta with meatballs and lobster ravioli. Both were good, but I wouldn't say great. Overall B+. I think there are better Italian restaurants in Dallas. Oh and they serve a flatbread not a traditional Italian bread, not sure why but I would offer both. Service was average, they were very busy.

We were so excited to return to Nonna after a 20 year gap. The reality was disappointing.The Cesar salad was wonderful with the addition of anchovies. The problem was the waiter was not happy to provide them. The entrees were so spicy (white clam pizza??) they were inedible. Our waiter did not struggle to hide his exasperation with us and was flat out rude by dessert. I expect poor service from Chili's but not Nonna.

This is a high-end, smaller portion, delicious Italian place. I never would have guessed such a delicious Italian restaurant would be in this strip mall across the street from the Whole Foods and a highway intersection. From the outside, it’s unassuming. When you walk inside, the place is packed - it’s one of those hidden gems that you wouldn’t even know existed even if you drive by it all the time. A great date date or dinner with family/friends.

Wally was fantastic! Amazing service. Only complaint was the closeness of the tables and the low light made it difficult to read menu.Parking: Small lots

Our server was so professional and attentive. He explains all the menu and gives us good recommendations. We tried chef’s choice pasta samplers which we can try 5kinds of pasta. All of them are very distinctive and special. Each dishes is really flavorful. The lobster ravioli broth was deep and rich. The filling was reasonably well-filled and went well with it. For the cream pasta, they used spaghetti noodles that go well with thick sauce. For Vongole, they used noodles that can soak up the soup well. Each ingredient was arranged appropriately for each dish, making it a very enjoyable meal. The cocktails were good enough to go with, and the clam pizza was amazing. Since the pizza is made with seafood, it can get soggy, but it was very crispy and the clams themselves were moist and soft. The sauce on the pizza also went very well.Although foods are great, they are not ready to meet the customer at opening time. We made a reservation their opening time and even on the time we made a reservation they don’t open the door. Not just for our team other couples also just waiting in front of the door for a while. Once they opened it takes forever to assign the server. We can see a lot of staff working and glancing but only oner person in charge of greeting customers at the front.

Small, quaint restaurant. Exceptional wait staff. Delicious homemade pasta. Perfect wine pairings. Don't skip the espresso martini!
