    Prishtina
    Hussain L.

    Upscale intimate vibe at this fine Italian establishment in Frisco. Be prepared for small portion sizes and about $50 a person. We were grateful for the birthday wish. Cupcake and plate art. Lobster ravioli lacked flavor, seems like salt was missing. The eggplant parmesan was delicious, surprisingly! I was not a fan of the meatballs. The entry hostess was very social and pleasant! We were grateful that this establishment has gluten-free (penne) pasta.

    Lunch and Brunch Menu

    I have been wanting to go here because everyone in Frisco raves about this place. First and foremost, the service was spectacular. We only had four people but were seated in a massive, comfortable booth. I really enjoyed the Cevapi (Lamb Sausage) which was accompanied by an excellent sauce. From there, I didn't care too much for the main entrees. I had the Paesano and there wasn't much flavor to it. I enjoyed the simplicity of the olive oil sauce but wished there was more to it. The Lobster Fra Diavlo was so bland but the Julio Caesar was slightly better.

    Cornish Hen and Vegetables

    Tip: Make a reservation on Saturdays. This place was pretty packed on the Saturday that we were there. Food: I ordered the Cornish Hen, which was a lot of work, but WORTH IT. The chicken was very well seasoned and was juicy after being roasted to perfection. I wish the veggies had more seasoning. The Brussels sprouts were just boiled and did not taste like anything. It was disappointing! Ambiance: Live music was playing on the stage. It was very low key music so people can talk at their tables. However, because of how the building was built, sound bounced a lot off the walls and ceilings. The place was loud! Service: our server was great! She was stretched thin with the amount of tables that she had to support, but she was still friendly and came by to check in. I liked that her manager helped her out whenever he could!

    This was my 2nd time at Dua and honestly, I think people are gatekeeping this spot, but I won't ! We went on an early Saturday eve with no reservations and got seated right away. If you're dining solo, they have a huge bar where you can grab a cocktail and a bite to eat. I saw a number of people doing that and it was super chill. This place feels fancy and lux, but it's still casual enough that you don't have to dress up. My friend and I were in a laid back kind of mood and didn't feel out of place at all. Plus the service was top level. We started with the burek appetizer, it was flakey and warm and cheesy. This is a must order for me. Yum! I went with the Dua again a spicy seafood pasta that is incredible !!! It reminds me of a cioppino I used to love back in San Diego. Don't let the capers and anchovies scare you off, the anchovies dissolve into the sauce and give it this perfect salty kick that balanced the tomatoes. Ugh... soooo good ! They did tragically forget to bring us bread but my portion was so big , I took half home and enjoyed it later with some crusty bread. My friend got the chicken parm. She swore she'd only eat half but it was so yummy, she couldn't stop eating it and polished off the whole thing. Everything was stellar and surprisingly reasonably priced. I'm already planning on coming back to try the meat lasagna and sea bass piccata. This is not your typical basic pasta place. The menu has some really unique and thoughtful dishes and it made for such a fun girls' night out spot. Also perfect for a date night.

    We came in for dinner on a Saturday night - the place was relatively happening. Nice ambiance and bar area. We tried the Cevapi which I highly recommend ! Very juicy, flavorful, and moist. The entrees were ok - I got the lobster ravioli and my fiance got the lasagna. Sadly, my ravioli was not served hot - it was just barely warm. Portions are relatively small - ravioli comes with 4 pieces. But I was full The service was amazing - our waitress was very sweet and attentive. You can tell the owner is highly involved as well - which I can always appreciate. All in all, a good experience.

    Delicious food. Mostly good service. Based on other reviews, we made a reservation at 6pm for a Saturday evening. As we arrived, we were the second table sat. I'm guessing needing a reservation is hit or miss. We'll continue to make them when we return because by the time we left at 7:30, almost all the tables had been sat. The service was kind and mostly attentive. I think once I had to waive the server down to get the soda my daughter ordered 10 minutes earlier. A small thing. Dessert was fantastic! No pic, sorry! But so delicious! We will return! It was a fantastic dinner!

    Short Rib Ravioli

    Decided to give this place a try for something new. The staff were friendly but our dishes were "ok". The pasta did not seem fresh and was a bit tough. The charcuterie board had 4 types of meat and just 3 tiny wedges of cheese. It was nothing special and had the smallest slivers of apple that left you wondering about their purpose. Once we received our food, it was like our waiter avoided our table. We saw him frequently walking around, straightening tables, and just when he would look in our direction, he would turn back around and disappear. We had to wave him down for the dessert menu and then again for the check. I wouldn't return based on our experience.

    The Food, Service, and Ambiance here are truly exceptional. Nik, Chris, Sabina, Audi, and the crew make you feel like Family. The welcoming vibe and energy of this place speaks volumes and is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Vllasaliu Family. We had patronized Eddie Napoli's for several years and I was excited to hear that Nik was branching out when this place opened a few months ago. This is our fourth visit and it continues to be our go-to for Mediterranean Italian Cuisine. Started things off with Mediterranean Margaritas this time. It is clear that only the freshest ingredients are utilized in its preparation. Chris was able to strike just the right balance of flavor and sweet without being too tart. We were also able to enjoy some Garlic Bread with Olive Oil/Balsamic for dipping prior to our entrées. Mom ordered the Beef Stroganoff, I ordered the Prishtina with Lobster (per Chris' suggestion), and we split a Berry Olive Oil Cake for Dessert. Such good food. Will always be on our list of regular restaurant rotations.

    There are so many good things to say about this place. You walk in the door and you are greeted by a friendly hostess. We went on a night there was live music and to top it off bottled wine was half price. Everyone we met was so friendly. This is the kind of place you want to make it your go to place. The kind of place you want to take your friends. The food was excellent. We started off with fried calamari and a beet salad. We followed that with Eggplant Parmesan, lobster over pasta, a mixed seafood dish, and a Branzino. We finish the evening with tiramisu and coffee. We highly recommend this place. It was amazing! Go now.

    Beet salad
    John J.

    We visited the new Italian restaurant in Frisco where the Black Walnut used to be located. They redesigned the decor very nicely and feels very upscale. The waiters have very snappy outfits with cool aprons. We started by ordering the appetizer and the entrees at the same time. I would not suggest this as they brought out the appetizer with the food. The entrees were mostly cold by the time we finished the salad. I would highly suggest not ordering all the food at the same time. We went with the beet salad because you have to love a beet salad and it was good. The Paesano was very good and all the ingredients were fresh and made for a very good fresh and healthy pasta dish. The lasagna we very good and well with a good meaty taste and not just the cheese and pasta. However, all the portions felt small and when compared to the price didn't help the perception. Both pasta dishes could have used a side of bread to make them not feel so small and a bit more filling. So, you do need to order an appetizer so you don't leave hungry. The do not have any desserts. Given for food portions everyone will have room to want a dessert so this is something they need to work on. They really just need one signature and really knock it out of the park dessert like a fantastic Tiramisu that is a decent size and would have made the meal. They are good and deserve a visit if you want to try a good Italian restaurant but can use work to bring them up to a 4 or 5 star. They had only been open about 11 days we went went so might work some of this out.

This wasn't black polish, but whatever it was it looked scary, and not hygienic! The mushroom Alfredo pasta was just okay! The large oversized sliced portobello mushrooms thrown on top of the pasta just didn't present well, and not to mention that my salad had a piece of black hair in it...by the way my hair is blonde. When it comes to food, presentation is everything, even down to the person serving you your food and drinks. I know we live in a society where, sadly, it seems like anything goes, but I think restaurants need to maintain higher standards than a fast food place. Don't get me wrong, even fast food places should do the same! Final note: I just can't get over being served by Dracula, even though he was very nice!

The Caesar salad is simple, fresh, and impeccably done. Make sure you save room for dolci--the dessert bar in the back is both stunning and indulgent. The bar is equally impressive. Troy, the bartender, is knowledgeable and engaging, delivering cocktails with true arte. Service throughout is polished and genuinely gracious that keeps guests coming back. Antonio is a fun, personable and attentive. Super! Salute isn't just a great restaurant--it's a ristorante you'll crave. Elegant, welcoming, and memorable. You must go and buon appetito!

    Around the Star area and trying new stuff, I found Lombardi's just by mistake. Wrong turn in Ave of…read morethe Champs and there it was. I have to be honest, this is not my first "rodeo" at this place, but this time I decided to write a review on it. So, this review will be more like an overall one instead of a specific dinner on a specific date. Let's start with the "first impression". The place is nicely set, and the decoration is phenomenal (at least for my taste). Since I normally dine alone, the bar is my best friend. This place has an "ENORMOUS" bar area, so it is very unlikely you'll not find a seat even in a very busy night. Personnel are super attentive, not like a place right in front of the street (sorry but you will have to ready my other review on a place in the area). In my several visits I ordered different things. From the Caesar's salad to the Salmon and many times different types of pasta. I have to be honest, I never been disappointed with any of the plates I ordered there, with the exception of 2. I'll explain. When it comes to appetizers, I always go with some traditional, Caesar's Salad, Prosciutto & Burrata, Caprese Salad o Carpaccio. From all of these I will recommend everything but the Caprese Salad (and this is one of my favorite plates in Italian cuisine). In this one I have to deviate from my normal way of reviewing things and say, I really don't recommend it on taste but on size and price. Basically, it is not worth what they charge for it when you can get the Prosciutto and Burrata for barely a couple of bucks more. My recommendation: stick with the prosciutto, unless you are a vegetarian. About main course, I tried they salmon (really good and light if you are not in heavy eating night), Pappardelle, which is the best if you want pasta with meat, Gnocchi, if you are in a "non-protein" night, and my favorite of the entire pile, Tagliolini al Tartufo. I know, is probably the most expensive plate in the menu, but we are talking about REAL BLACK TRUFFLE shaved onto the pasta tableside!!! When it comes to deserts, I only have once the souffle. Honestly, I did not finish it. It can be my taste, because for me, souffle, the way I discovered and loved in France has to be super fluffy and pretty much dissolve in your mouth, this one was thick and a little bit on the acid side (like it had lemon zest in it). And this constitutes the 2nd plate I did not like there. I will really love to put a 5-star rating on this restaurant, but I will have to say, in my last 2 visits, I saw a little decline on execution. Just as a sample, my gnocchi were a little overcook. I understand is easy to overcook gnocchi, but a restaurant of this kind, should pay more attention to these little things. Even though, I will keep on going to Lombardi's although won't be my first choice for Italian in town. Salute!

The atmosphere was lovely even with the craziness of apparently a graduation happening nearby. Would I pay this much for food normally?

The food was amazingly good--one of the best italian places I've had in a while. Our service was subpar. We were a group of 5 people all around the age of 23-24, and it seemed like our server just assumed that made all his shortcomings okay because he tried to act kind of bro-like with us. There were multiple periods of time where we were left alone for anywhere from 10 minutes to 40. It took us a LONG time to get our food even though we were one of maybe 4 parties in the restaurant. One friend got told they were out of something, ordered something else, and the waiter went, "that's a joke, right?" and told him they were out of that too. His entree came out almost a full 30-40 minutes after the rest of ours so he just packed it up to-go. Only a halfhearted apology that everything was taking so long and no type of compensation. The food was good enough that I would go back to try again since partner and I live in the area. But i really hope we don't get this guy as our server again.

The meat chunks were big & there must have been a max of 2 tablespoons of meat in the whole dish. The spicy chicken sauté was tough & rubbery. Both the dishes were made from a can of tomato sauce. No flavor in any dish. The vegetarian platter had some frozen falafels that were deep fried & served with the same 2 dips & some rice. The cheekiest part was the waiter add a 20% gratuity to the bill. I would never go back or recommend anyone go there.

There are…read moredefinitely a few dishes that keep me coming back: the meatballs, Stefina salad, chicken Alfredo, and seafood risotto are my regular reorders. When they hit, they are genuinely enjoyable. That said, the menu is uneven. Some dishes are just fine, and a few were disappointing enough that I would not order them again. The bigger issue is value. The pricing feels aggressive for Frisco, especially given the portion sizes. Three small meatballs for $23 is hard to justify. The seafood risotto is $37, but the seafood itself feels underwhelming: very small shrimp, tiny scallops, and a few clams and mussels. It does not feel like the quality or quantity of ingredients matches the price point. Maybe they brought California pricing to Frisco, but at these prices, I expect more: better ingredients, more generous portions, and flavors that feel memorable rather than just decent. Overall, there are a few good dishes here, but the value proposition is difficult to defend.

    I had the chance to finally try Baonecci this past week and it was a phenomenal experience!…read more Our waiter, Rogelio, taught us all about the restaurant's history and about the menu. Baonecci used to be in San Francisco and recently came to Frisco, TX in the last 3 years. Their entire menu is ordered in fresh from Europe, pastas and pizzas are handmade in house, and everything lacks processed ingredients. To begin, we ordered white wine and I believe the Judas Spritz, which contained red wine, orange, and more. Both were excellent and paired perfectly with our appetizers and meals. For our appetizers, we ordered the Bruschetta and the Tagliere Toscano, or charcuterie board. The bruschetta was some of the best we have ever had and was made with excellently toasted bread. The Tagliere Toscano contained a variety of tasty meats, cheese, olives, as well as focaccia bread. It was a perfect board and not too heavy before our main meal. We also split the Baonecci Salad, which contained romaine lettuce, arugula, goat cheese and pears. It was absolutely delicious and perfect for the two of us. For our entrees, we ordered the Ravioloni Riccotta e Spinaci and an item from the secret menu, veal ravioli with white sauce. We also spilt a Contadina pizza. We were absolutely blown away by each of these dishes, the Ravioloni Riccotta e Spinaci was my particular favorite. The ravioli ricotta and spinach was served with the best gorgonzola cream sauce and topped with walnuts, it was honestly one of my favorite dishes I have had this year. The secret menu item was classic Italian and another hit. We loved the Contadina pizza as well. It was made very thin and crispy, echoing true Italian style. It definitely could be an appetizer because it was very light. It was made with gorgonzola, mozzarella, parmesan and topped with curly pears, it was delicious! Lastly, for dessert, Rogelio recommended we try the Coppa Amarena over the Tiramisu, so we did. It was a great choice! The Coppa Amarena is vanilla gelato topped with Amarena cherries. It is a perfect, fruity and light dessert to end the night with. However, I would love to come back for the Tiramisu! Overall, it was an absolutely amazing experience. The food is authentic, Italian and clearly made fresh and in-house. Our waiter, Rogelio, also made it such a fun night and gave us amazing recommendations that made the entire experience great. I cannot wait to come back and try more from the menu and have some of these dishes again. Don't let it deter you that it is located in a strip mall, it is truly a hidden, Italian gem. I look forward to returning soon! Thank you so much for a great experience and night!!
