In Dallas for a conference and Partenope was very accommodating for our large group of 20. Dinner was great and service was amazing.

We had a wonderful work team dinner at Partenope. They were so accommodating for our group of 13. The food was fantastic as was the service. Highly recommend! read more

Oh the pizza... I am still dreaming about that amazing dough. Absolutely amazing. The food was fantastic. For apps, burrata bruschetta and meatballs. The brushetta was best of both worlds. The boys really loved the meatballs. We got 4 different pizzas and we devoured them all. My husband was even stealing my crust. Absolutely great. Service was frustrating. I think our waitress had too big of an area. Examples, she would stop by and then disappear to another side of the room. Said we were ready to order. But she didn't have her machine. Ill be back in 90 seconds... 15 minutes later not back. Happened a lot. I was extremely frustrated but the amazing pizza will have us return. read more

I had high expectations for Partenope and unfortunately they were not met. Service was really poor throughout the evening. After being seated, we waited for over 20 minutes and no one acknowledged us. It took one person in our party to alert the host before a server arrived, and he wasn't particularly friendly. Disappointing! We ordered many dishes, but the top three were the Burrata e Cavoletti, Fusilli Al Pesto, and Spaghetti Alla Nerano. The pastas were very fresh and flavorful! For pizzas, we tried the Montanara and the Meta Di Sorrento. Both were very mid and if you don't like smokey flavors I'd skip the Meta! And for dessert, my personal favorite was the lemon cake. The apple calzone wasn't served warm and the pistachio cake was just ok. read more

Was the food good? Parte-nope. The place is attractive and dark, but the food wasn't that great. The $14 (not really) chopped salad was fine (romaine, artichoke, olives, provolone, cherry tomato, pickled onion, cucumber, parmesan, hot soppressata, and red wine vinaigrette). The two fresh completely fine $19 pizzas were bland, flimsy, doughy, and dependent on pepper flakes. How much flavor did the Montanara have with its (allegedly) flash-fried crust, mozzarella, marinara, and basil? Montanada. And the somehow bland mozzarella, whipped ricotta, lemon zest, mint, and zucchini of the Meta Di Sorrento made us Meta di Sorry we ordered it. read more

I had high expectations for this place. The happy hour wine was a great deal but nothing else really lived up to the hype. The lasagna was good, but not great. I also didn't like how a lot of the sauce was cold, while the inside was really hot. The deserts were also just ok, nothing special. The tiramisu tasted like one you could get from a grocery store. read more

Genuinely so impressed by this place. We stopped in on a whim and had the best time. My husband got a pizza and I got a gnocchi, both were beyond our expectations. Their wine list was nice but we were just in for a quick lunch, service was fantastic as well. The atmosphere was lovely, definitely a nice date spot but was perfect for lunch as well. read more

Partenope has been on my "to-try" list for as long as I've been visiting Dallas for work. I decided to make a stop at lunch around 12pm on a Monday. The framed pictures and decor reminded of my Italian in-laws' house, so I felt the comfort of being at a home. The place was busy but not crowded, and I was able to get seated right away. I started at a table but noticed that the bar had an electric outlet. I moved to the bar and did a bit of work in between waits. Service was excellent. I mentioned to my server that I was on a time crunch and had to get to a meeting by a certain time. She and the kitchen came through with quickly getting my order to me and without compromising flavor or quality. I got the butternut squash bread salad, which was delicious. Loved the tender bites of squash, and the creaminess of the goat cheese was a nice contrast to the sweet lemon vinaigrette. The margherita pizza was great as well. I appreciated the generous amount of mozzarella. The marinara tasted bright and freshly made. I'm a fan of sweeter tomato sauces, but I thought Partnope was good. read more

This is a very nice restaurant in a cool old building. Great spot for a date night. Our server Paige was incredible and she really made the experience great. The General Manager came around to the tables and he was very kind and helpful as well. Good service goes a long way and this place has it. The food was very good. We were impressed by our appetizers, drinks, and the pizza. The prices were fair for the high quality of food and drink. We plan to come back soon and bring friends and family with us. We were very impressed! read more

While the entire world is on glp1s I feel it's my societal obligation to continue to bring my hearty appetite out in support of local businesses. Since relocating, each weekend I try to get to a new place. I'd come across an infatuation *best pizza in the America list and thought to myself I doubt highly anywhere in Dallas will make the cut. I was wrong, enter Partenope. I was so excited to bookmark another new Ristorante. I've been dipping into spots for lunches on weekends as that's what's most convenient vs trying to wrangle a rezzie for an evening. Since most of my dining is done solo, I haven't put too much emphasis on the vibe of a place lately. I can imagine what it's like when it's super busy and buzzing but I'm in acceptance with being able to try the food at a time that works best for me. I devoured an entire Calabrese pie, enjoyed a lovely glass of montepulciano (I liked this better than the Chianti), and topped it all off with their tiramisu and a cappuccino. Service was excellent. They also have tvs which I love, because I like the option of being able to watch a game or two when I eat. I'm totally that person, the one who will watch on my phone if there isn't a tv. There was a pizza/pasta class happening that seemed fun, but by the weekend I'm happy to just relax for a moment and have chef make my pie. I loved that they thanked me in Italian when leaving, it made lunch feel like a trip to Napoli. I'd happily return and recommend. Pizza is my absolute hands down most fav food ever and I can be a little bit particular about it. I LOVED Partenope's! A very well deserved spot on the best pizza in the US list. * https://www.theinfatuation.com/all/guides/best-pizza-in-america?ifsb=yes read more

We found this place really close to our hotel in downtown Dallas. Saw it had some of the best pizza in the country so had to try it. We went on a Thursday no reservation figured it would be fine on a weekday and we were seated immediately. Inside was very dark and intimate definitely old school Italian restaurant vibes. For food we went with Burrata E Cavoletti so we could get some veggies for the night. The sprouts had a nice crunch to them. The bread and cheese is exactly how you want to start the meal. We planned on splitting the pasta and pizza so we got the Calabrese and the Spaghetti alla Carbonara. They deserve one of best pizza places in the country cause that is some of the best pizza I've had in this country. They were no slouch in pasta either. The carbonara was so smooth and creamy. read more

My husband and I stopped by Partenope in Dallas before a comedy show last Friday night and were able to partake in their happy hour at the bar. We ended up splitting three apps of the HH menu and two entrees and were very full and satisfied at the end of our meal. The brussels were solid, the prosciutto was a nice contrast between the briny olives and the richness of the cured meat, and the bruschetta had a great fresh flavor from the herbs and tomatoes. Our favorite entree of the night was the fusilli al pesto; it was super fresh and bright and the pesto sauce was very aromatic. We did wish there was a little more textural contrast - it didn't come with too much pistachio or tomatoes, but maybe next time we'd add a protein to mix it up a bit. The pizza wasn't bad but the crust was pretty floppy so it was quite messy to eat and each piece needed to be folded up to stay intact without all the toppings sliding off. I'd probably ask for a pizza to be sliced into 6 instead of 4 pieces in the future. The hot soppressata paired super well with the sweetness of the honey and creamy ricotta, so that was definitely a winning combo. All in all a great quick meal before our show at the Majestic down the street. Would definitely come back for dinner if I find myself hungry in the area! read more

Good Pizza! This restaurant has a cozy ambiance, and our server was very attentive to our large group of people. The Salsiccia had great flavor from the Italian sausage, and all the pizzas are personal sized so everyone can enjoy their preferred selection. The Neapolitan style offers a good contrast to American pizza styles. Overall a great Italian spot. read more

I visited Partenope Ristorante early Sunday evening around 5 PM. The restaurant was nearly empty when I walked in, to the point that I briefly questioned whether they were open. I ended up sitting at the bar and starting with the focaccia. The focaccia wasn't what I expected. It had more of a crunchy, French bread-like consistency rather than the soft, airy texture I'm used to. It wasn't bad, just not something I'd order again. I did appreciate the nice variety of mocktails on the menu. It's always refreshing to see thoughtful non-alcoholic options that feel just as intentional as the cocktails. For my entrée, I debated between the sea bass and the pesto pasta. The server recommended the sea bass, and flavor-wise, it delivered. It was well-seasoned and extremely flavorful. The only downside was the portion size. It was small for the price, and I left still a bit hungry. It was served in a flavorful buttery sauce with approximately one and a half new potatoes. They were sliced in small rounds, but I'm pretty sure if I stacked them, I would have had no more than 1.5 potatoes. Overall, the food was good, the staff were friendly, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I was visiting Dallas, so I likely won't be back anytime soon. It was a solid experience, but I'm not quite sure what all the hype is about. read more

I've had Partnenope on my list for years and they did not disappoint! Definitely the best neopolitan pizzas I've had DFW. I totally get why they win awards each year. FOOD: Pizza was outstanding! The creative touches for the ingredients for each pizza is top tier! We tried the Montanara, Margherita, and the Gladiator. All were divine, but Montanara was my fave. The crust is flash fried, which takes the pizza to another level! The smoked mozzarella on the Gladiator is divine. SERVICE: Service was cool. Our server was nice enough, but it was a busy evening, so we could feel her urgency a little bit whenever she was at our table. AMBIANCE: Buzzy with really cool decor. read more

This place is like a casual Italian restaurant with a little extra flair. The place had a nice hum about it. We ordered the gnocchi, Calabrese pizza, tiramisu and torta. The gnocchi was nice a pillowy with a ton of flavor and a tiny kick. The calabrese pizza had a kick but great sauce to cheese ratio. The tiramisu was strong coffee flavor and the torta was mild with subtle sweetness. Service was quick read more

Partenope is a restaurant that creates a vibe when you walk in. From the furniture, color choices, and photos on the walls it's promises a nice dinner connected with a history and heritage that food can speak to. They have a bar area as well as tables and booths. The drink menu impressed me as they not only had a mock tail menu, the menu had a good variety of choices, and they weren't just over hyped mixed fruit juices. They had many special non-alcoholic drink mixes and botanical blends to make them something elevated and special. The server also helped me navigate which would speak to my palate the most and she was absolutely correct! For food we got an appetizer and pasta to share. The burrata e cavolette which was basically crispy Brussel sprouts, pesto, burrata, and crusty bread, and the la genovese a neopilitan pasta with rigatoni, beef, and onion. The appetizer blew my mind. I wish I hadn't shared as I wanted it all to my self. All the textures and tastes were keeping my palate dancing. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the meaty sauce was hearty and satisfying. Friends had ordered the lasagna, I was surprised it was pretty acidic and not developed in flavor, the noodles a bit to soft. It literally triggered chef boyardee memories. This confused me, as everything we had ordered was on another level. I don't know if it's a fluke or if this is how they normally make lasagna. I won't mark them off though for something I didn't order especially since I loved my meal so much. read more

Had a very fluffy, cheesy, and piping hot oven fired "gluten friendly" pizza here. I opted for the margherita pizza after the waitress told me that the "GF" pasta is boiled in the same water and that the oven gets to 800 degrees. Good enough for me! It was incredibly delicious and everyone around me seemed to enjoy their food too. read more

Did their pizza making class a while back with my girlfriend and it was just us two so it was private and nice. I wish I remembered his name but he's pictured, but he was so cool and informative, as me and my girlfriend are very curious in terms of the process of the formation of the dough, sauce etc. The dough we made in house was a special dough used for at home ovens so we got to take it home and let it ferment for future use. They then let us use their own dough and customize the pizzas however we want. The pizza was just as imagined, nice and fresh and made me feel classy. Overall would recommend this place for both the class, and pizza! read more

We were visiting Dallas and stumbled upon this gem--perfect for a bar snack and dessert! The decor is absolutely beautiful and elevated, but not so formal that you feel out of place. It strikes that perfect balance of stylish and welcoming. We sat at the bar of this elegant restaurant and had an amazing experience. Our bartender (wish I had caught his name!) was a Red Sox fan, and despite my husband being a Yankees fan, they had great rapport and friendly banter. Service was top-notch--definitely a spot we'll return to! read more

Well intrepid readers, the little lady wanted some pizza, and as usual (often to her irritation), took to Yelp to find an alternative. When it comes to pizza, I want fresh-made Mozzarella, San Marzano tomato sauce, thin Napoli crust, and a 900 deg oven. We were staying at the Anatole, and this place wasn't far. It is nice and quiet, spacious/intimate. I had the Coffee Martini (it had a different name but you'd recognize it), a nice glass of red wine and we devoured a superb pie. The Tiramisu was divine, the lady had a pistachio pie, good gracious. The menu wasn't huge (a bonus) and everything is scratch made. I'll go back again. It is owned and operated by folks from Napoli so it is very authentic. Mangia read more

We had one night in Dallas before heading south, so I stumbled across this restaurant while searching for places near our hotel. It was a quiet Thursday night so we didn't make reservations and the restaurant was not overly busy. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with a romantic vibe. My SO and I picked out three items to split and it was plenty of food. We got the burrata e cavoletti as an appetizer and it was delicious. I've never had mint included in a pesto but it took it to the next level. Our entrees were a calabrese pizza and spaghetti alla carbonara. The carbonara was good but I found it to be very tight and it could have used just a touch of pasta water to loosen it up. The calabrese pizza was perfect. It had the spice from the Calabrian chili and honey and the crust was so good. I would definitely go back if I lived in the area. read more

Part rope is a definite "go to" if you're in Dallas. Went solo the other night and very glad I did. Started out with the Melanzane- sautéed eggplant.

Great little spot with amazing food and perfect service. read more

Beautiful convenient spot but a couple of things decreased our experience. 1- the noise. I love atmosphere, energy as much as the next person on a Friday night. But it's such a squished loud space I couldn't talk across the table and hear. Constantly aware of people swirling around me 6 inches from my seat. 2- we had 1.5 hrs before our show which is plenty of time for oven high temp baked pizza. Sat down - waited a few for sever, no biggie. Told our sever the time - he said everyone's already ordered, you'll be cool. We order our drinks and app, didn't see him for 25 mins. Drinks come and Ordered the pizza- another 20 mins. So we're an hour and just getting our food to slam down in 20 mins to pay and walk to the show. read more

Stopped in for dinner and had the Gennarino, Tridente, Margherita pizza and Spaghetti alla Carbonara. The pizzas were fantastic and the pasta was acceptable. The standout item was the burrata with crispy brussels we started with.
