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

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

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

Came here tonight with a date and the meal was great. We started with the wild mushroom pizza as an appetizer. For our entree we had the special for tonight- the haddock with home made ravioli stuffed with seafood in a cream sauce and truffle oil on the side. My date had the home made gnocchi with the braised short ribs- a hearty dish. The ambiance is lively and the decor is beautiful. 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

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

Wow! The food was obviously fresh and the flavors weee on point. The service was amazing. I called ahead and asked if they have cioppino. The chef got on the phone and said "I'll make it for you!" Sooo good!! Can't recommend this place enough and I will visit again next time I am in Dallas. Hats off to the entire staff. We were even invited into the kitchen to personally thank the chef for a great meal. Great Job Enoteca! 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

The waiter Chris had a great description of each dish making your mouth water before you even seen the food. He made great recommendations. We had chicken parm and short rib fettuccine carbonara. The presentation is amazing but when I tell you the food was the best Italian I've ever had, IT WAS. I will always come here, and would recommend 100% the ambiance was spectacular as well, great for a nice date night 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

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

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!

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

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

Enoteca Italia - Seafood Linguine - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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

The service was very nice here and the atmosphere very relaxing. The menu is diverse and can satisfy everyone. Homemade pastas are the way to go!

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

I'm not even sure how to kick off this review, but it's definitely a solid 5 stars. As soon as my coworkers and I walked in, we felt a bit underdressed since we had just come from work, and I was exhausted and pregnant, craving some Italian food. I was really hoping for a great food, and was in no mood to be let down, Dallas y'all know we been having a love hate thing with these restaurants. Our server, Kenya, was amazing! She seated us and immediately started suggesting drinks, from water to soft drinks, mocktails to cocktails, and I love when a server is confident in their picks. She recommended a drink i can't remember the name, but it turned out to be surprisingly good. I had my mind set on fettuccine, but when she mentioned off-menu items, everything sounded tempting. We ended up ordering fries, Brussels sprouts, and fried crab, for starters and all dishes were delicious. Honestly, I've never been to a place where everything was just so on point. Even the damn Sprite I ordered was refreshing, and the whole vibe of the restaurant was fantastic. The staff were super friendly, checking in on us to make sure everything was okay. I chose the chicken and shrimp fettuccine, and I requested the shrimp to have a bit of color, which the chef nailed perfectly. The chicken was incredibly tasty; I'm not exaggerating. I was genuinely blown away by the food, feeling like a kid in a candy store, just wiggling and smiling with joy. Today was a real exhausting at work, but you guys have no idea how much y'all brightened my day just from the customer service and of course the food lol. when the manager came out just to chat with us--she had such a great energy and vibe. I really appreciate family-owned restaurants; they bring a unique warmth to their businesses, and their staff is always top-notch. I'm convinced nothing can beat this place. I have a week and a half left here in Dallas and y'all have made my stay worth it. We'll definitely swing by again before we head home. read more
