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.

I should have asked for something else. The flat Diet Coke tasted like Christmas and syrup

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.

Tiramisu

I had a great time at partenope. Staff is great and the atmosphere so relaxing. It's a fun spot downtown and good to catch happy hour and some amazing Italian food. I had the tridente pizza and absolutely loved it! Can't wait to come back

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.

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.

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.

Had a pre-show dinner here that we enjoyed very much. Service was great with a very thorough explanation of the menu and a great wine recommendation. Enjoyed the pizza so much that I'm considering going back for pizza dough lessons. Location is easy to find, was clean and spacious.

Solo Saturday Lunch

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

Spaghetti alla carbonara
Jordan L.

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.

brussels

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!

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.

I personally love this Italian spot. It's one of my favs. It's a mom and pop feel inside and very spacious so they can accommodate large parties. I have love all their pasta and pizza really have never been disappointed here!

Sea bass
Danielle A.

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.

Gluten free pizza was just okay. Ambiance was also just okay. Service was good. Normal pizza was good.

I visited Waters Edge with my family this past weekend before we went to a movie at the Drafthouse…read more(just across the parking lot), and we had a good time! Waters Edge is a winery and a bistro - so you can come for drinks or a meal or both. We were told that they make all of the wines on their menu, of which there are dozens of wines on their menu. I've been to a few urban wineries before, and it's an interesting concept. Waters Edge buys grape must (crushed grapes) from around the world and then craft and bottle wines made from that must at their locations (this Dallas location is one of 15 across the country). Wanting to try a few of their wines, the four of us shared two flights of five wines each. We tried the Tour of Armenia and Alec's Flight (a rotating selection of wines by their winemaker). Did I like every wine? No. But I thought most of them were pretty good. Personally, I'm not sure they need to make this many wines; I'll always prefer a business that does ten things well than fifty things fine (the Cheesecake Factory rule). But most of the wines were pretty nice (of the 10 I tried, I wouldn't drink 3 or 4 but wouldn't mind drinking the rest again). I appreciated that many of their wines are Armenian style, because I haven't had much opportunity to try Armenian wines. We also ordered a few snacks - they have a full food menu. We shared their Deviled Egg of the Month (2 eggs - 4 halves) and their Cheese is Life Board (two cheeses, hot honey, giardiniera, and crispy flatbread), which were both good snacks. They've been open just under a year, but the place doesn't feel quite lived in yet. The dining room has a large room divider in it, set up like a bookshelf. It has books and card/trivia games about wine and more. But many of these items were still wrapped in plastic, making it feel a little impersonal. The service was good, and it's a comfortable place to spend a couple of hours! The food we had was pretty good. The wines in my opinion are just okay - probably not the spot to take a wine snob on a date. But they have a large variety of wines, so you're likely to find one or many that you like. Not a bad place to spend some time if you're in the neighborhood!

My wife and I stopped in for a drink recently and had a great time. The place is spacious with…read moreseveral seating areas (tables, couches, and bar). We sat in the area with couches and each had a glass of wine. I enjoyed my Temecula Valley Malbec and my wife enjoyed her German Gewurztraminer wine. The staff were friendly and informative. We will definitely be back.
