nonna

one of those dallas institutions. been coming here since 2006/2007 i think when it first opened. small dining room, half open kitchen with a brick oven for their scrumptious bread. pastas are always rightly dressed - which is a rule for pasta and people.
goodwinelist. service could be better.

this is one of my favorite italian restaurants ever. even though i dont understand half of the menu, anything you order is fantastic. it is constantly changing which makes it difficult to recommend any one dish, but the pizzas are always good, the salads are awesome (and i dont even like salad), thewinepairings are always on point and the dessert menu is unreal. definitely get here for a nice occasion. also i saw bon jovi here once and that was enough for me.

burrata cheese salad. can't stop thinking @ it! would love one w/ a glass of redwineeveryday!

a refreshing take on italian cuisine. most people are conditioned into thinking that if they don't get an enormous portion that they are being cheated. if you're looking to gorge yourself then go to chili's. if you want to go to a restaurant that offers an exceptional experience for your pallet, then give nonna a whirl. yes, it's pricey, probably about $100-$200 for dinner for two if you go all out. however, you pay for what you get. i've eaten there three times and each time the food has been exceptional. the ingredients are almost entirely locally sourced, and the menu changes on a weekly basis. the food is the chef's own modern take on italian cuisine, so don't expect traditional italian dishes. the last time i was there i had deep fried risotto balls followed by scallops sauteed with whitewineand covered with bits of pancetta. it was the best scallop dish i've had in my entire life. the servers can be a bit on the arrogant side, but this is nothing new for a high end dallas restaurant. all in all this is an exceptional restaurant with a chef who refreshingly thinks outside the box.

n$o$n$n$a. food nothing but average at most, way overpriced. overall, the folks at nonna seem a little too taken with themselves. i guess it's simply a hip place to see and be seen in oak lawn. the portions are child size, no bread, no salad. 1/4 glass ofwinefor $12.00 ???? whaaaaaa??? oh pleaseeee, very hip, no one should say this is just wrong. an over priced olive garden, where the meal is much better....

best italian food in dallas, by far. the bread is unbelievable. the pizza is divine and they offer a unique variety of past dishes. greatwineselections and a warm, inviting atmosphere created by noted dallas designer, david salem.
