Nonna | Tabu

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.

This restaurant has a small shopfront but the size inside is still very large. The table is a little bit too small but the overall environment is quiet that’s not bad. The food is ok. The most delicious dish is the appetizer in Picture2 and the olives in last picture🫒 are super delicious. Appreciate the waiter packed the olives for me. Will continue to come back because there are delicious olives loll. It is worth mentioning that their desserts are very good. Be sure to try them..🥰🥰🥰

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.

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.

We had a very friendly waiter. He made my mom and I laugh all night. The margarita pizza was the best pizza I’ve had in Dallas. Octopus and lamb appetizer were good. Unfortunately, pasta was a hit or miss. The shrimp one was bland (I can cook better pasta), another mediocre, and one good but nothing really stood out. We got the cherry pistachio dessert which was very unique tasting. Overall a good experience.

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.

Really enjoyed the vibe! Came Saturday night. Live band. Cool and cozy vibe and good service. Menu looks very promising and the food looks great but needs more attention and tuning: We had four dishes. Tuna tartare had tone of pepper which stayed in our mouth long after we finished. Salad with pears was too heavy on the sauce. The lobster ravioli came in a bland broth and the pasta was too thick. Pistachio ice cream was great but can use a thicker crumble. We still had a great time. We will give it another shot hoping to enjoy the food more. The place is unique and fun and has a five star potential

Great food. Very small place, so make sure to make a reservation. The only negative was the service and I think it was only our server, who went AWOL for good 10 min a couple of times. The bruschetta was fantastic and unique, the anchovy flavor came through in a very good way. Lamb chops are another highlight. My pasta had big chunks of pork belly and it was also great. Rotating menu, which makes it more interesting. Definitely coming back and hoping to get another server

Good location, plenty of parking/valet options and the food is so fresh. The Dover sole cake was a surprise but amazing and the triangoli pasta had just the right amount of spice and good portion size as well. Will definitely come back!

Really disappointed with the service and food here. Waiting 20-25 minutes for a cocktail to be brought to the table, pasta that was almost inedible. I have never been one to leave a review but we came here because of the Michelin guide and we were extremely disappointed. For the cost I would rather go elsewhere.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The bar makes fantastic drinks and the live jazz music was amazing. The pasta here is so amazing. You cannot go wrong with any choice of entree. The staff is absolutely incredible!

Don't let the location in a strip mall fool you, this restaurant is romantic, warm and chic inside. A wood burning oven is a focal point for the restaurant - both aesthetically and for the food. We loved the vodka pizza with shishito peppers... the blistered bubbles of crust were fluffy and oh so divine (thank you, wood burning oven)! Here is what we ordered and how I would rate: - Chocolate orange & almond tart (7/10) - Cappelletti di spinaci al forna (7.5/10) - Complimentary olives & fresh bread (8/10) - Little gem salad (8/10) - Pizze alla vodka (10/10) - Oven roasted scallops (10/10) - Lemon basil martini (10/10) On the down side, our service was just OK (unnecessarily grumpy gentleman) and parking was hard to snag; however, those things wouldn't deter me from going back whatsoever. I can definitely see myself sipping on a lemon basil martini and exploring more of their pizzas in the near future! :)

Excellent Service, Wine, and Food Ordered: (App) Crispy Brussel Sprouts - 5/5 - Perfectly crispy sprouts. The chili and the honey added so much depth to the dish. (Main) Garganelli - 5/5 - The pasta dish was the star of the meal. All of the ingredients worked well together and made a very unique sauce that tasted incredible. (Dessert) Limoncello Cake - 5/5 - The limoncello cake was light, airy, and had just the right amount of lemon flavor. The restaurant was small and inviting. Our waiter gave us an excellent wine recommendation that went with all of the main courses we all ordered. All of the food came out quickly and tasted phenomenal. I was very happy with the entire experience.

June 2020 Consistently one of my favorite places. Intimate vibe too. Nice folks. David was our waiter. The white pizza as an app - fantastic. We also usually get one to take home too for later. I had the pasta and sausage dish with sage - David recommended. It was so awesome. Date had penne with something in an alfredo-esque sauce - excellent. There new house Chardonnay was possibly the best I have had all year. Love, love, love this place. Out of 10 visits - I've only had one dish that I didn't really like. That's a decent track record to me - because all of the other visits have knocked it out of the park.

Great local italian spot! We had a lunch reservation on a weekday. We were greeted and seated promptly, the service was knowledgeable and friendly, and the food was delicious! We ordered family style and it was perfect: -Orecchiette: great flavors -tajarin pasta: loved the sauce -crushed tomato pizza: so good -lobster ravioli: not your typical lobster ravioli, it was excellent -butter bibb lettuce salad: refreshing -pistachio ice cream: not nutty and super creamy with a crunch Highly recommend this place!

I'm giving Nonna 5 stars for food and 3 stars for service. Averages out to 4 I guess. We shared the burrata and white clam pizza. That pizza alone made my night. I love my friends, but man that pizza. Just a perfect cheesy saucy mix with a little pepper kick at the end. We then all got pasta, and I thought my spaghetti with shrimp was good, but I loved my friend's tortellini, so good!! Just perfect pasta. The insides were Luke velvet. The service. No one came to the table for 15 minutes. We finally asked for a waiter, and he came over. Didn't realize we were his table. So that was pretty much the rest of the night. Dinner took forever because he had too much on his plate. Glad I like talking to my friends.

Striped Sea Bass, White Clam Pizza, Tiramisu Semifreddo I loved this meal so much. This is such a cute little restaurant that is way bigger inside than it appears from the exterior! They apparently open for lunch only on Fridays, so it was a nice treat! The sea bass was so tender and flavorful. The white clam pizza was just exquisite, so so amazing and unique, a must try!! The tiramisu was excellent too. Service was efficient and helpful. There's some parking out right in front of the restaurant, which usually has a few spots open!

Food + service = 5 stars. Good reason was listed by Michelin guide. .................................................

Simply amazing! Nuff said. Love this place. Make sure to request Tabu side. It's awesome!!

We had a very friendly waiter. He made my mom and I laugh all night. The margarita pizza was the best pizza I've had in Dallas. Octopus and lamb appetizer were good. Unfortunately, pasta was a hit or miss. The shrimp one was bland (I can cook better pasta), another mediocre, and one good but wasn't exactly mind blowing. We got the cherry pistachio dessert which was very unique tasting. Overall a good experience.

Wonderful service by the team to accompany delicious food and delicious drinks by Blake the bartender. Man knows his stuff. After sitting at the bar and watching him work, he's a pro, then i learned it's only his 2nd day at the restaurant. He let me know the menu changes everyday and recommended the grilled avocado with fennel, grapefruit, and fresh peas. Definitely a great recommendation. Pasta was perfectly cooked, i got the garganelli alla bolognese (4/29/23) it was freshly made and al dente. Wonderful old fashioned cocktail made with jack daniels 10yr. They also had blanton's, maker's mark, woodford reserve, and other staple whiskeys. Some neat rare finds of amaro, bourbon, and armagnac. Can't wait to return and try another cocktail by Blake.

Amazing food and service with a dim lit cozy ambiance. We ordered a few appetizers and a couple of entrees to share and everything came out hot, delicious, and in a timely manner. Compliments to Chef Garrett.

Nonna treated us well during DFW Restaurant Week last month! The place was packed and for good reason. Because they only serve the restaurant week menu during that one week during the entire year, the turnover for each party is pretty quick, but we didn't feel too rushed (probably because we ended up arriving a bit early and therefore seated early). We started with some complimentary olive and bread service. The bread was pretty interesting -- it look liked a huge calzone dough that was fired briefly in the pizza oven and then presented on a plate. We would've enjoyed something to go with the bread, since it was a bit bland all on its own (maybe some olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping) but still, it was a fun first course. For appetizers, we chose the ricotta crostone, which was super refreshing and very flavorful and came on perfectly crisped bread, and gnocchi, which was delightfully crisp on the outside and light pillowy goodness on the inside. For mains, we chose the white clam pizza which was HUGE and had a very generous amount of clam, and the lobster ravioli which was much lighter than we expected but also excellent. It was so different to experience lobster ravioli in a brothy sauce rather than something thicker, but we really enjoyed it! Our desserts were the praline dessert, which we didn't expect to be more like ice cream -- delicious but a tad too icy -- and the peach crostada, which was warm and delightful. Tartness of the peaches paired perfectly with the flaky crust and the sweet vanilla ice cream on top. We were impressed by our experience here and we will be back to try the rest of the menu!

Finally remembered to revisit after quite a while. If anything, the food was even better than before. The octopus appetizer was perfect, to be topped by the lobster ravioli, and a wonderfully delicate tasty sauce. Our waiter Josh made perfect recommendations, urging us to try a dessert, even though we usually pass as they are never as good as what we make. Glad he did, as the pecan pie was incredible! Cannot wait to go back.

Ambience (4/5): Romantic interior inside a strip mall. Tables are tightly packed and lights are dim. Servers may have worked at Olive Garden previously. Food (4/5): We started with a bruschetta topped by goat cheese, kumquats, and a marmalade. It was sweet, filling, tasty yet unexceptional. Their white pizza has bite from the clams and sharp cheese. It has a thin but distinctly American crust. I was hoping Nonna's pizza could replace their fallen brother restaurant Sprezza's, but it is not quite the perfect substitute.

Great Dallas neighborhood Italian restaurant everything good Try it you'll like it!!!!!!

Outstanding food! Service has been a little off at times, but management was responsive in dealing with my concerns.

Here's the story. Food gets 5 stars!!! Service from Walter should get zero stars so in all fairness this place gets 3 stars. It was a special dinner I set up for my family for a birthday and college send off. Upon arrival our table was set in the bar, since we were a family of four this evening and my daughter being the youngest to join (16) I would have preferred a quieter table. Oh well not a big deal and nothing a 16 year old hasn't already seen. : ) however she was exposed to 50+ year old men with 20+ year old dates and they should have really gotten a room instead of dinner. The first issue was Walter wanted nothing to do with our table. Pretty much was turned off immediately knowing we weren't having drinks. Big Jerk about it and it was obvious. My family had not been here, but I had and if you had a question about something on the menu we were better off looking it up on google. That's pretty much what my wife and kids did on a few items of interest. The service - zero stars thanks to Walter. Funny how he was Mr Personality at the other tables throughout the restaurant. The Food - everything we ordered was fantastic. 5 stars. Remember we picked our orders based off of google searches. Atmosphere - small place , very loud , music was blaring in the bar area which made it hard to talk to your own table. Seems like a very clickish place for only regulars. No one north of 635 kind of feel. To all the older guys dating your daughters friends. Keep it clean next time. To Walter.. truly wish you would have made our experience better than it was .. for the price and delicious food and still leaving you a 20% tip. I deserve another pita bread and a dessert. You can mail it because I'm not coming back unfortunately.

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.

I just came here for lunch (which apparently is only offered on Fridays) and it exceeded all my expectations. I had tried this place once for dinner many many years ago, and it was definitely time to try it again! We had the lobster ravioli, clam pie, and snapper. Nonna really knows how to make incredible savory dishes with just the right amount of sweetness. Even the broth for the lobster ravioli was absolutely divine. Every component in the snapper dish was amazingly flavorful. Overall, I love this place and cannot wait to come back!

Love Nonna! Dined here a handful of times throughout the years and their food and service has always been great. I love places that use seasonal ingredients and Nonna has been able to deliver great flavors every time. I especially love their pastas, my favorite so far has been a pancetta and spring peas pasta. I've tried a few of their anti pastas as well as their salads. It's a small place and can get a little loud during peak dinner hours so make a reservation ahead of time

5 stars for the pizza and service! We tried the mushroom pizza and it was so good that we ended up ordering another one! We also tried one of their pasta specials and the chocolate cake for dessert. Also good but the pizza was def the stand out. The service was excellent but I will say the ambience could use some improvement. Not sure how to describe it but the place seemed a bit stiff because of the crowd and decor? But I would still come back for the food

They can't get it together. I received a message that my table was ready. when I arrived, they were in complete disarray. I left dissatisfied by their incompetence, I've been a regular customer for years, if I didn't know any better it's as if they did it on purpose.

Excuse my dark pictures, as it is a dimly lit establishment I've been eyeing this place and today was the day fate brought us together! Kept things very simple and went with the white clam pizza and the linguine, which also had clams. Although there were no clams I could pick out by sight on the pizza. The pizza was thin, delicious and just right. The pasta was perfectly al dente. It involved corn and shishito peppers, which I wouldn't except but they seem to know what they are doing. If you don't see any available slots on Open Table then consider calling! That's what I did and was able to be fit in.

I was watching food network while I decided to google some of the best pasta places in Dfw and this place came up. I must agree though. It's in a quiet shopping center across from Whole Foods, at night you probably wouldn't even notice it. I live in the north part of the metroplex so traveling 30 minutes for pasta better be worth it. This place doesn't disappoint though. Unique pasta dishes that you probably won't get around most places. We were a group of 6 and got to try a ton of stuff! 1. Cauliflower 2. White clam pizza 3. Salami pizza 4. Italian sausage pizza 5. And 5 pastas I will say everything good gnocchi and spaghettini were least favorite Favorite dish being the tortellini

Looks pretty small on the outside, but great taste!! I've been eyeing this place for several months now; they seem to never have a 7 or 7:30p dinner reservation available, so I went for an 8pm Tuesday night reservation during restaurant week. Their restaurant week menu is quite extensive, with 5 appetizers, 10 entrees, and 3 dessert choices. I went with Little Gems, Lobster ravioli, and Pistachio-praline nougatine semifreddo. My partner went with Smashed cucumber salad, spaghettini, and peach crostada. We also got the two wine flights they offered, Borghese and Alto-Borghese. They start you out with a puffy pita bread straight from the oven! So toasty, so good! Salad was pretty traditional but great start to my meal - lots of cheese, can't complain! Loved my ravioli; I'm a huge fan of lobster! The sauce was light, not too salty. The spaghettini was nice and tomato-y. For dessert, we both strongly preferred the peach crostada with gelato! Whether or not you go for restaurant week, you will not be disappointed. Make your reservations in advance because they fill up fast! Parking: There are some parking spots in front of the restaurant.

I long held Fachini as the gold standard for Italian food in Dallas. Nonna has knocked them off the throne. Fortunately they're in the same family of restaurants. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu at Nonna. Let the waiter/waitress suggest a few things (and ask for the head waiter, BL. The man!)

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

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Value: 5/5 ----- My current favorite restaurant in Dallas, and easily my favorite Italian place by far. It can be difficult to get a reservation here at peak dinner hours, but you can easily stroll in early on a weekday and get a table or a seat at the bar with full service. The menu here is constantly rotating (I went with my family one weekend, and not two weekends later, I was disappointed to see one of their seasonal appetizers gone already - a great problem to have!). Any of their pasta is sure to be delicious, and their entrees, though a bit pricier, all have thoughtful and nuanced flavors. My boyfriend's favorite is the white clam pizza. Service is always top notch, and there is plentiful parking outside of the restaurant. Great wine/cocktail selection that are all truly quality. Fresh ingredients. Can't miss a stop here at Nonna while in Dallas.

Nonna is so cute! We were recommended to go to this place by my husband's boss, he swears by the white clam pizza. I will say it is pretty delicious, but what I love the most is actually their appetizer bread! To die for... and don't get me started on their lobster ravioli! It's delicious little pocket of heaven, it's not heavy cream based but instead a light seafood broth! It's really delicious and a great take on ravioli!!

Came here with a friend for dinner. Good vibes, great service and very attentive. We went right when they opened and boy did it get packed!

Food was excellent! The white clam pizza was the best. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Came here for a family dinner and it was everything that we could ask for. The food was absolutely amazing, flavors that I have never tasted before, and the service is impeccable. I liked that the portion size of the food as it was on the smaller side so we were able to try more options

Our evening at Nonna exceeded all expectations. Every dish, from the appetizers to desserts were beautifully plated and delicious. The vibe is perfectly balanced, not pretentious. We cannot wait to return.

Very simply, Nonna is the best Italian restaurant in town. The very first time I visited Nonna was years ago right after I had come back from living in Italy. I was so sure I was going to be disappointed but instead it absolutely blew me away. I now live within walking distance of this phenomenal restaurant but I purposefully limit my visits just to keep it special. It's really that good! Do keep in mind this is classic, real Italian food. Not anything close to your Americanized Italian. The dishes are lighter and more fresh. The pastas are made by hand daily as well as the sauces, breads and everything else. I could tell you to be sure to have the lobster ravioli (a house favorite) or the quail or to not miss out on their insanely good pistachio semi-freddo. But that would do a disservice to the rest of the menu because it is ALL EXCELLENT. This is high-end food served in a business casual, laid back environment and you pay for the quality here. But it is worth every single penny! If you enjoyed my review please give it a vote. And if you love looking at amazing food, Inst-a at seasonedfoodie

If you're looking for fresh authentic pasta this is the place!! They give you warm bread as soon as you arrive and the drinks are very good. Such a cute space! They also have great seating for large groups.

Cozy intimate special occasion romantic. Seats are close together, NYC style. The food is exquisite. The service impeccable. I prefer the dining area for a romantic night.

Lobster ravioli is the best pasta I've ever had. I keep coming back to Nonna for it again and again. I'll also get the clam pizza, but only if I'm splitting that and the lobster ravioli with someone else.

I dined here with 5 others on a Saturday night. The food was good, but I must say nothing was memorable. Nothing, that is, except for the service. The waiter was always available when needed, but understated and never a distraction. But the pita-like fresh table bread, though fun with its "poppable"-looking poof, wasn't very tasty. It lacked the flavor of a buttered bread, or some peppered olive oil for dipping. My tortellini di ricotta was also good. But...that's all. I want to be wowed by a sauce or filling. However, overall, since nothing was unpleasant, the service was lovely, and the space really relaxing, yet lively, 4-stars seems about right. :)

This restaurant is an absolute dream! The candlelit tables and music selection make for a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere. The staff is phenomenal. This CANNOT be emphasized enough. I regrettably did not remember to get my waiters name. He was so helpful with cocktail, wine, and food selections. He even gave us suggestions on where to end our night. His suggestion to visit The Library at The Melrose was exactly what we were looking for. Kudos to him. The meal experience begins with pitted olives and a house made bread. The best way I know to describe this bread, other than delicious, is pillowy soft. It was thicker than a tortilla and thinner and much lighter than pita. The outside texture had that wonderful flour dusted deliciousness like a tortilla and was sprinkled with sea salt. Heaven. We started our meal with Blue Crab Fra Diavlo. The crab was tender and delicious. Each bite was flavorful with a rich tomato base and the spice did not overpower. Next served was The White Clam Pie. This was absolutely the best pizza I've ever had. The crust was thin, with crispy edges and soft goodness in the center. So flavorful and delicious. I will have to come visit Dallas again just to try their other pizza selections. Ravioli of Main Lobster was next. The pasta was hand made and perfect. Each mouthful silky smooth and the pasta sat in a delicious broth. Lastly, we had the Lamb Chops. I normally do not like to eat meat medium rare, but my date convinced me to give it a shot. Heaven. The edges were wonderfully grilled and the center of the chop so tender. This place is highly recommended.

Loved this busy place and the expertly prepared food! The Beet Salad is a great collection of flavors and textures with pistachios, basil and fennel as an accent. The Trompetti is mixed with chicken, speck, Ceci beans in a light broth and parmigiana. Very nice! The whole menu sounded fabulous and choosing was clearly the most difficult task. Once that was out of the way, the professional staff was always where you needed them. They had a few larger items on the menu and a next visit will surely include those.

My daughter and I decided to try Nonna for the first time and we were not disappointed! The food was AMAZING! My daughter is quite picky, but she loved her food and even ate her leftovers the next day! The pistachio semifreddo was good beyond belief! Their service is impeccable as well. They restaurant is pretty small, so you better like your neighbors ;) It's a pricey place, so it certainly won't be a "regular" restaurant, but we will certainly return!

4th visit and this time I brought friends from Chicago hoping to convince them that Dallas does indeed have a few really top notch Italian Restaurants. Unfortunately this time was a disappointment starting with a surprisingly inattentive waiter who we had to repeatedly track down for water and bread refills. Restaurant was 1/2 empty when we arrived so really no excuse for the service. I had a Spaghetti and clam dish and if there were any clams in there you'd need a microscope to find them. One companion had what he described as an excellent pasta dish but the portion was so incredibly small I shared mine since I didn't particularly care for it. Not sure I'll go back; so hard to get a reservation and no longer seems worth it.

Underwhelming and overpriced, an Italian drama by Nonna Dallas. Before you hit me back with some BS lemme tell you as an NY native, I know what good Italian is. I've also eaten good Italian all over the US, ATL, LA, etc... Here at Nonna, Hamburger helper esc Bolognese is a good $30+ for an "the entree" sized portion. There's nothing special about it. I'm not against a high dollar meal that tastes like it, but Nonna just feels like a place to get ripped off. They've got one server Friday evening around the entire joint... All in all just a mediocre dining experience.

Another restaurant off the Dallas bucket list! Dined are @nonnadallas tonight and it was delicious! The restaurant is very small and quiet but the food speaks volumes! Tortellini, Trompetti, Caesar, and Arancini - @whatraqueleats

From beginning to end, this dining experience was absolutely superb. I would suggest making reservations. We were seated in the small, quaint side room and got waters and home made flat bread immediately, as well as a little bowl of olives. They have an extensive wine list, and we got a bottle of red we really loved for $60. Their cocktails also sounded great, and were $12-$15 a pop. The menu changes all the time, but I will still detail what we ordered, because we were absolutely floored by everything we ate. First, we ordered the "suppli" which were 3 small spaghettini fried cheese balls drizzled in home made pesto. Tiny appetizer for two people, but incredibly delicious. Also as an appetizer, we ordered the baked oysters, which were extremely flavorful and satisfied us until our next course. For my entree, I got the gnocchi with gulf shrimp. The gnocchi was made with sweet potatoes, corn and a bunch of other delicious, tomato based tastes. It was superb. Trip ordered the pennone (not sure if I remember this right!) with braised quail. The portions were perfect and we both savored every bite. All of their desserts sound divine, but we got the praline semifreddo. It was essentially praline and pistachio ice cream but somehow less cold and way thicker. We talked about how fluffy yet creamy it was all night. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere perfect. We will most definitely be back!

This is my favorite Place for Italian food. Me and my husband were here for our anniversary and we loved it. Great ambience ( a little crowded for a weekday) but it's got a good vibe to it. Excellent service, we tried customized spaghetti and stuffed cheese tortellini pasta-vegetarian. Also, they have a seasonal menu which is great. They have great options for wine. I definitely want to go back again to try their seasonal menu.
