we came here on valentine's day and first off the service was impeccable. staff was really friendly and it definitely was one of the best experiences i've had. the place was very tidy, clean and pretty too. there was also a convenient parking garage so that was nice. for food, we got the calamari and focaccia which were both really good. and entrees we got the tortellini carbonara and seafood linguini which were both really good as well. portion sizes were decent compared to a lot of higher end restaurants. overall would come again great restaurant 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From the ambiance to the cuisine everything about this place exceeded my expectations! I wasn't sure what the vibe was going to be like, but as soon as we sat the waiter made sure to take our cocktails order. The service was exceptional, they read out the off menu specials, and made sure we never ran out of bread! We came for a double date night with some friends and it was amazing. They had a holiday cocktail menu that a few of us indulged in, I will say that they are more on the pricey side at 18$ a drink, but perfect for the holiday photo op! I enjoyed their seafood squid ink linguine! It was so flavorful and definitely left me satisfied. My boyfriend enjoyed their burger and while I may say it was an interesting choice for an Italian restaurant, it was amazing! The French fries are a 10/10! We will definitely be back for a nice date night dinner! Highly recommend! read more

I came to Enoteca to celebrate an anniversary dinner. Though this was certainly a 5 stars experience, I want to note that this special occasion was noted when I made the reservation, acknowledged by the hostesses, and then was not mentioned again for the remainder of the evening. To start with ambiance, the restaurant is one of the most romantic I have seen in Dallas! The lighting is perfect, and the space is beautiful. Service was great - they are intentional about not rushing you through the meal. This allowed us to enjoy each other's company and the food a lot more. I started with a spritz and it was one of the most amazing cocktails I have had! Super flavorful and did not taste watery, even after some of the ice melted. We ordered the whipped ricotta and it was just delicious. I have never seen ricotta whipped to be that smooth, and the honey was a great touch. For our mains, we ordered the cacio e pepe and the fettuccine alfredo. The cacio e pepe was a standout meal and possibly in my top 5 pastas I have ever had! I would love to go back and order that, it was so delicious and creamy without feeling too heavy. The fettuccine was also decent, but comparatively not as good. We decided to skip on dessert, but I am sure it would have been wonderful. I will definitely be returning to Enoteca. I recommend stopping by! read more

Delicious tiramisu and a blondie with ice cream. Overall we really enjoyed. read more

I made a reservation for 14 for my friend's bday dinner at 6:30 pm. The ambiance is very nice, the service was attentive and the food was really good. That's why they get any stars at all. However, it took TWO AND A HALF HOURS for everyone to get served food, which didn't arrive until almost 9pm. Also, several of our guys ordered bourbon and they charged $1 per ice cube for their drinks! That is so beyond insane, are you kidding me?! No heads up, nothing in the fine print, just a line item on the bill. Speaking of the bill - they refused to split it. Not even in half. One bill for 14 people. Again, no heads up from the server, nothing at the table to indicate that a split bill would be an issue. I don't do business with companies who don't communicate their policies and try to nickel and dime you with random charges for ICE CUBES. read more

Some of the best service I have ever had. It felt like everyone was all hands on deck. Our waitress was lovely and I love the extra touch of serving shareable meals. This place is a modern twist on a traditional Italian restaurant. Definitely gives post-corporate-grind happy hour vibes but really is a nice option. We got the whipped ricotta (with fig jam) on sour dough. It was absolutely delicious. It went too quickly to take a picture. The fettuccini Alfredo was a bit of a small serving for the price but was really good. The margherita pizza had some delicious dough and was a good option. The chicken parm had good quality, fresh chicken and some Alfredo pasta as well. Overall, really great Italian option in the Dallas area! read more

Each time was an extremely pleasant and satisfying experience. Their service is top notch. Wine selection is good enough.

Came to Enoteca for a date and this restaurant fit the vibe really well. At night, it was dimly lit with warm lamps on the tables, the service is attentive and professional, and most diners were slightly dressed up. We started with the bruschetta and it was the star of our dinner. The warm and delicious toast was topped with flavorful balsamic, mozz, tomato, and basil, and it was a perfect balance of texture and flavor. I would highly recommend. We also ordered margarita pizza and pacheri salsiccia, which were decent, though not standouts. The margarita was fairly plain, and the pasta dish was too salty, though the sausage was good. Compared to other Italian places of a similar price, it is okay. Overall, I would definitely come here again - for the vibes and the bruschetta - though I may try different entrees. read more

Found this place searching Italian restaurants on Yelp. We decided to give it a try & loved it! It has become one of our go-to Italian spots for date night. Food is always delicious and tastes authentic. We've gotten bruschetta, pizza, bolognese, pacheri salisiccia, and pollo parmesan. Pizza is thin and dough tastes fresh. I usually don't like pizza crust unless it's soft & pillowy - this hits the spot! Pasta dishes are big portions. Our favorite is the pacheri salisicciac, but you really can't go wrong with any. We love getting a glass of red wine to pair with food. Good wine offerings of American or Italian wines from $10-20. They also have cocktails if wine isn't your thing. Ambiance is romantic, modern and casual. Perfect for date night, girls night out, or family dinner. Parking is easy. There is a parking garage in the same building (The Centrum). Garage entry is on Welborn Street. Tons of spots and never full. From garage, you'll go up the elevator to Enoteca on ground floor. Make sure to validate your parking ticket at the hostess stand before you leave. Come here if you want good Italian food! read more

I've literally never left a review on yelp until this point, but simply had to for Enoteca Italia. Have been several times and each one has been absolutely fantastic. Amazing food, service, ambience, you name it, they have it all. Our most recent time our waitress Sammy, who was in training, was terrific, never would have guessed she was in training! She recommended the two new specials which were outstanding. The tortellini short rib special was seriously one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. I will be offended if that doesn't get added to the menu The manager who always visits our table is always so kind and accommodating. Needless to say, this place does not get the hype it deserves.

We were in tonight and always enjoyed our wine and cocktails which are top notch . However, we ordered the Cacio e Pepe to go and I'm sorry to say it was, to be polite because we love the family and the restaurant, it was not at all good. It was thick and had too many cheese rinds in it and the pasta was very chewy. This is a great restaurant and their food is consistently reliable so I just think this may have just been a misstep this evening. We will always come back because it's a neighborhood gem!
