My husband and I ate here tonight for my birthday. The food was amazing and Ariana was our server. Service was exceptional and staff was very attentive. I would highly recommend this place. We felt like royalty. read more

This place never disappoints and always lives up to expectations for what Italian food is supposed to be like. I can with my family on 9-5-2026 and we ordered: Appetizers- meatballs, calamari, wild mushroom pizza; Entrees- gnocchi with braised short ribs, lasagna special; Cacio y Pepe and short rib with fettuccine carbonara. Cocktails. All amazing! Our waiter, Chris, was a rock star. Gina, wife to f the chef and owner came around to our table and this is how you do it in an Italian family! read more

Tonight, the service was excellent, the food was good, but what ruined the experience was parking. We dined for 1.5 hours...not an unusually long dinner length in Uptown. Our parking tickets were "validated" by the restaurant, but when we attempted to leave, the validation machine rejected the "validated" ticket as insufficient. We pressed "help" and after three minutes of considerable, frustrating back-and-forth, we were told we still had a balance of ~$4.00. The whole process was confusing. We paid and left. Knowing there would be a $4.00 charge ahead of time would have been fine. After spending hundreds of dollars on dinner, the 4-5 minutes spent clarifying a measly fee ruined the experience. Will not return. read more

This restaurant was amazing!! We came in with a large group and the servers were top notch. For appetizer we shared the fried zucchini, Brussels, and focaccia. They were all super fresh and great to share with the table. I got the seafood linguini and could have died and gone to heaven. It was sooooo good. read more

It's a beautiful restaurant, great for starting the night and going out afterward. The service at this place was great no complaints. The seafood pasta I had was good the only complaint I could say is the shrimp was overcooked. Otherwise the sauce and flavor was all there. read more

The food was amazing here at Enoteca. We shared the calamari and focaccia bread. The bread had pockets of cheese drizzled in honey and was so amazing! The only complaint was the service. It was slower than we had expected. The restaurant was busy, however there were so many different servers on the floor, ours was just missing every time. read more

I've had this place on my list to go to for a long time and I finally made it out to meet with a friend. Overall it was a really nice time, but it didn't start out that way. To begin, I would not recommend using their valet even though it is free, because they seem to only have one person working it so it takes forever for them to take your car. We had to wait for over 10 minutes for the valet guy to come back to his post, meanwhile I'm stopped in the middle of the street with car having to drive around me. It would have been much faster to just park in their garage which is also free for I think 2 hours once validated by the restaurant. The valet also didn't have a system for keeping track of the cars, no key tag, number to text, or anything, he just asked for my name and said he would remember me. That didn't seem like the safest process to me. Not to mention, when we picked our car up he just gave me the key to drive it off from the space myself instead. Valet aside, the restaurant was really nice inside and had good balance of not quite fine dining, but also not too casual, which is what I was looking for. They also decorated for the holidays and the red bows overhanging were a nice touch. As an Italian restaurant, they had plenty of pasta options however our entire table decided to go with the waitress recommended Pollo Parmesan. I think we all were interested in the fact that it contained both red and white sauce, so it allowed us to have the best of both worlds. I wasn't sure how it would mix well at first, but it ending up complementing each other nicely. Lastly, the ladies also appreciate that they provided a bag hanger for their purses. I would like to come back to try their other dishes, I just won't waste time using valet again. read more

Enoteca Italia - Pollo Parmesan - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Enoteca Italia gave us a fantastic dining experience from beginning to end, especially thanks to our amazing server, Michael! This chef-owned/family-owned restaurant serves from-scratch food and provides a fun atmosphere perfect for any occasion. I highly recommend and found it worth the price for most items. We can't wait to go back again and again and again! Notes: The hostess let us sit at our table even though not everyone from our group arrived yet (evening traffic!). They validate parking, but only for up to two hours. You can park in the garage attached to the building. The tables come with small coat/purse stands so you don't need to use the back of your chair. They offer some off-menu items from appetizers to deserts and you can completely customize your meal, especially if you struggle with food allergies and/or dietary restrictions. read more

A beautiful family-owned restaurant in the heart of Oak Lawn. Probably my favorite Italian restaurant in Dallas. The food is excellent, modern Italian with new additions all the time. The restaurant itself has been decorated in a lovely warm inviting manner. The staff and management are very friendly and knowledgeable. The wait staff is very helpful and friendly. You can tell the owners have really strived to create an atmosphere to relax and enjoy some of the best Italian cuisine in Dallas! Restaurants are a dime a dozen in Dallas, many don't seem to understand the business from day one! That is certainly not the case here, they know exactly what they are doing and take pride in giving each customer a wonderful experience. read more

Visiting Dallas with my grandsons and celebrating my oldest grandson's 13th birthday. We decided to visit in Enoteca Italia. It was a delicious choice. The boys loved their fettuccine Alfredo and ate every bite! I had a delicious piccata. Our service was impeccable and we appreciate the care we received so much. We ended the night with some gelato. What a fabulous place to celebrate. Family owned, and the service made it feel even more special. Thank y'all so much!!! read more

Highly recommend! Forgot our Server's name but he was the most thorough and professional server I can remember ever having. It was evident that he takes his job seriously and also enjoys making his customer's experience memorable. My daughter had the Tortellini Bolognese and she was in heaven. I had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly with the bites easily separating into thin pieces which only happens when salmon is not over-cooked. Perhaps the most amazing dessert either one of us have had in a very long time was the warm salted blonde brownie. I would give this place 10 stars if it was an option. read more

We have visited Enoteca Italia twice so far, and both experiences were outstanding. The food is absolutely delicious, the service is top-tier, and the ambience is warm, and could be romantic even cause I really do love this restaurant! First Visit - July 19 We discovered Enoteca Italia almost by accident and booked a 7:30 pm double date. I only managed one photo (the focaccia--don't skip it!), but every dish was incredible. Our server, Gino, was training a new team member and was fantastic--knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. We also met Gina, owner/manager who happily chatted with us about the menu and the restaurant. I witnessed a lot of delicious entrees going by! Second Visit - August 28 This time we did not make a reservation because we sometimes just get a craving for Italian and must have it. It was a great decision because the bar was pretty empty so we had it all to ourselves pretty much! We ran into Gina again and she introduced us to Chris, the bartender as we sat at the cozy horseshoe-shaped bar, which has a single tv, and a relaxed vibe. The food again came out fresh, hot and full flavor. My spaghetti pappardelle is now firmly in my Dallas Top 3--and is #1 now with those silky noodles and to me the color was perfect and the pasta was perfection! I finished it all and felt afterwards! My husband agreed it was every bit as good as the city's more famous Italian spots (yes, even Il Bracco!). It's really close but there's just something about this sauce and pasta and just melts in your mouth. Extras Parking is in the Centrum garage off Welborn Street; grab a ticket and the restaurant validates it. Whether it's a date night, a girls' night out, or a business dinner, this spot is perfect: intimate but not crowded, with a great little bar. If you love authentic Italian food made with care and passion, Enoteca Italia is a must-try. I'm already planning visit number three. I hope to see yall there!!! read more

My brother dined in and raved about it so much that I had to go the next day. Service was great and they offered individual coat racks to everyone! We loved the food, I got the short rib and it was such a big portion that I saved some for my lunch the next day. The lobster ravioli wasn't my fave due to the slight fishy taste but my boyfriend liked it. And that focaccia.. I've never had anything like it, the honeycomb was the best part. The drinks were sweet and strong, and the blondie was a nice ending to our dining experience here! read more

Tried this restaurant out last night for a joint bday celebration! The food was delicious, but a little on the pricier side. Our server was super nice, and the staff were super attentive! My water was always topped off and never empty! The inside was lovely, I loved the decor and it was a super welcoming feeling as soon as you walk in. I got the mushroom ravioli which was one of their specials, I thought it was really good. The mushrooms added so much flavor to the ravioli and the truffle was the perfect amount. As soon as they brought the entree to the table the smell was amazing. (Keep in mind the plate of ravioli was $39) Overall I really enjoyed my visit, the staff also wrote a personal card for our birthdays which made us feel so special! They also came out and surprised us with an ice cream dessert to celebrate! read more

First off, yes, you have to park in a garage and get a ticket like you're about to see a movie. But they validate, so it's free in the end. Love that journey for us. Came for lunch. The place is cute - big windows, natural light, fresh flowers on the table. Simple, not overdone. Feels like somewhere you'd sit and pretend you're in Italy while avoiding your email. Drake was my server and let me know I was 10 minutes away from missing the lunch menu but if I ordered right then, I'd still get lunch pricing. Sir, you speak my love language: saving money. Here's what I got: Focaccia (4/5): Giant piece. Like, they weren't stingy at all. The stracchino cheese and honeycomb combo was *chef's kiss*. Some bites were a little too crunchy, but nothing that ruined it. Arugula Salad (5/5): If you don't like arugula, keep scrolling. I do. And this one hit - grapes, almonds, and the balsamic was balanced. Big portion too. Pappardelle (3.5/5): It was fine. Honestly, I thought I ordered something else so I can't even be mad. Just a lot of meat sauce. Like, a LOT. Flavor was there, just not my fave style. Mocktail - Fly Me to the Moon (5/5): Loved this. Non-alcoholic rosé, peachy, sugared rim, and super refreshing. Would get it again without hesitation. Would I go back? Yep. Would I try a different pasta next time? Also yes. But overall, solid lunch, good portions, cute space, and good vibes. Worth a visit. read more

Location Turtle creek area, just off Cedar Springs and Oak Lawn Parking Garage parking validated but only for a portion of parking time-be prepared to pay Atmosphere Classy Italian restaurant Seating Bar, low tables-great for groups Service Carlos rocked it!! Efficient, friendly, helpful with the menu. Menu Shareables, salads, mains, drinks pastas, desserts-something for everyone. Daily specials. We had the chopped salad and brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly-really good. Best ever! The chopped salad was enough for 2! Carlos served us both on separate plates! Wonderful! He grated fresh parmesan on both! Great wine list! We finished the meal with the special creme brulee-it was a glazed donut on raspberry sauce with crunchy topping. Very unusual but delicious! Summary My husband was so impressed by this restaurant that he brought me. This restaurant was a perfect date night place. Elegant, relaxed atmosphere, great menu-delicious food. Everything about this place was wonderful-food, service, seating!! Can't wait to go back soon! read more

I've been on a mission to try every restaurant Uptown as I'm new to the area. When I saw reviews for Enoteca, I absolutely had to visit! I made reservations for Saturday night at 8:45. We arrived at about 8:30 and were immediately greeted by two lovely hostess. About 5 mins later, we were lead to our two top near the window. The restaurant is a beautiful. Dimly with flowers and greenery throughout. It's almost whimsical and perfect for a romantic evening and just cozy dinner for a singles or your group. Shortly after we were seated, our waitress arrived who was also very friendly and personable. We were offered tap, distilled or sparkling water. We opted for sparkling, a glass of white wine (Terra Gauda O Rosal) and a Whiskey Sour. The Terra was refreshing and easy on the palette. And although the Whiskey Sour was not made with an egg white, it was well balanced and delicious. Now, the food was without a doubt the star of the show. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, sausage rigatoni, zucchini "fries" and Brussels sprouts. Everything was fresh, flavorful and perfectly portioned! Midway through the meal, the manager came by to make sure we were enjoying our meal; and we definitely were! And of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert. We opted for the Lemoncello Marscapone and Brown Butterblondie. They did not disappoint! I think I found a new favorite and will definitely be back! read more

The food was pretty good but the halibut special (at market price) was dry. Bummer. The service was horrible. Carlos left my date and I sitting two different times for over 30 minutes each time. I'm sorry but that's unacceptable. He was either out of site or serving other tables and COMPLETELY ignored our table. All he seemed to care about was to push us to order the most expensive items on the menu. Our tab was over two hundred dollars with tip and my date only had one glass of wine. My braised short ribs were good. The ambience was really nice except for the noise level. They had a DJ playing music pretty loud and I wish it would have been a little quieter so my date and I could talk at a normal level but it's ok. Overall, Carlos ruined our experience and we won't go back. You don't leave a table sitting there that long under any circumstances. Especially when you checked on the table up against ours to the left and didn't even look our way. I never complained to Carlos but he knew I wasn't happy about my tea being empty the entire time I was eating and even longer. He told me he complimented my tea for him being so delayed with his service. Thanks Carlos but next time I'll just pay you the $4 bucks and don't treat us like we don't matter. This is my opinion only but it seemed very clear you catered to the other tables that had 4 or more and ordering drinks. Even if I'm wrong about that, you have no excuse to give someone that poor of service. read more

I love a comfortable, easy restaurant that I can walk to. Where people know my name and I know theirs. The owners are there every single time to greet you. The service is excellent. Looking around, I see people talking, celebrating, enjoying their excellent meals. The details here are impeccable: the servers absolutely know the menu. They know the drink offerings. They talk to people and create an easy atmosphere that makes people want to linger long after the food is gone. Tables are lovely and they bring a rack to hang your purse. The lighting is fresh. There are fresh flowers, crystal lights, nature elements. Oh, and the food. Well, I'm not a food critic so let me just say . . . Yes. Get the focaccia. And the chicken piccata. Thank me later. @enoteca Dallas read more

Came here for the first time and had such a great experience! I had the chance to meet who I believe is the owner, and she was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole visit even more special.I ordered the octopus dish and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. You can really tell there's care put into the food here. Also, as someone who appreciates gluten-free options, I was so happy to see a great variety available. It made me feel really included, which means a lot. Definitely not my last visit!!! I'll be coming back for sure! read more

We just left about an hour ago. Today being Valentine's Day made it so we werent able to do a walk-in due to not having a reservation and it being completely booked.. HOWEVER, the staff here decided to clear out the large table in the entrance lobby to sit us there. They did not have to do this, and it was only a sneak peak to how their service would be tonight. The whole time their customer service was 10/10. Polite, friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and quick. What more could you ask for. The food....oh my goodness. Not one thing was disappointing. The focaccia, crab cakes, seafood pasta, bolognese, and large rigatoni was amazing. And that dessert!!! Definitely one of the best dining experiences ive had in a while. 100% stop by if you have the chance... Just make sure to have a reservation just in case haha. read more

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable and the mood was great.

I don't know if it was just the night that we went, but we had horrible service and probably will not come back. We were seated promptly, which seemed promising, but then the server came and his first question was if we wanted quick service or to take it slow. That was the most odd request that I've ever had by my server. Now I had to be somewhere, but didn't want to rush, so we told the server that we just wanted a normal speed. Next, the menu seemed very promising, so I asked the server about gin cocktails, and he said there were some, but we weren't given the special menu which had more, so he said he would be right back and went to go get it. After a significant amount of time, he went on to go serve other tables and bring out all of their food before coming back without any specials menu, but asked if we were ready to order. At this time, it had already been a wait that we just wanted to order, so we put the order in without seeing the specials. Later on, our food came, which was pretty good. The polenta with ragu was delicious and the Caesar salad has a great char on the lettuce that added a different flavor that I usually don't get with salad, which I loved. The problem came next when another table was seated next to us. Their server sat the guests down and proceeded to give them a lovely spiel on all the specials one by one with plenty of detail and there were so many items that she described that I wanted to try, like the squid ink pasta. Our server never told us any of this stuff and we ordered based off the options that we were presented. I was pretty annoyed about this, but I decided to just let it go because complaining would have caused further delay in our already long service. Our server apologized multiple times about the wait, but you can only apologize so much, especially when we saw other tables having such better service and we were singled out since we were just a party of two and not a priority to our server. Overall, the food was good, but the first impression left a bad taste that we won't come back. read more
