Nonna Tata

Had the chance to update. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was great. We had a lovely start to a date night here. Highly recommend. ========== Old Review below====== Drove all the way down there just to find out that they were closed for a private event. That was not mentioned on either voicemail or website. I look forward to a chance to update this review, but until then that was a serious service mess.

After careful consideration, this is the premiere Italian restaurant in all of DFW, and perhaps best of any restaurant. Majorly authentic, flavorful, and perfect. BYOB as a bonus. I think the lady who cooks this stuff is actually from Italy. Small place with not a lot of tables, but man, I'm here to tell you that if Gordon Ramsay made a surprise visit to this place he would do the same thing I do every time: CLEAN MY PLATE!

Ok this place has been on my list for years but we always either are waiting for a special day or don’t have cash on us. Today we fully planned ahead and Nonna Tatas was well worth the effort! Everything we tried was excellent between the flavor, the texture, and the clearly fresh made delights that we got. If you go here, spring for the hand made paperdelle (sp?) because it was incredible. We couldn’t put our forks down and look forward to our next visit!

Nona Tata is not just the name of the restaurant, but the Chef as well! This Chef driven Italian is some of the best you will find anywhere. Each dish is made with care as if you were in someone's Italian home. Every taste is spot on, from classics to personal takes on old favorites. Not a lot of seating inside, more on the patio outside. BYOB and CASH only! Add this one to your favorites 😍

I give it 5 stars for the friendly staff. Just a heads up though if you are used to very seasoned foods or are used to southern food, this may be a little bit off of your palette. From experience , they are not heavy on the seasoning and the food is not extra flavorful, but the environment is good. Definitely something different. I did try all three courses. No complaints.

This is some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. I hadn’t been back in probably 7 years after I moved away and it was great to go back and find that the food quality is still A+. The sautéed calamari is ridiculously good. Pastas are epic. You can also bring your own wine (BYOB). Heads up. It’s cash only so be prepared. It’s also a very tiny restaurant so be prepared to wait. Just go down the street to The Usual for a cocktail while you wait.
