    Stopped by for a quick dinner after kayaking. I made a 6:15 reservation on Resy, and they seated us right away. It was our first time here, and our server, Liz, was awesome. She recommended the lasagna, so Sacha ordered that with a side of confit mushrooms. I went with a salad with avocado and added grilled chicken. The food was mostly great, but the chicken was a total miss--it seemed broiled to death instead of grilled, and it came out on a separate plate. Honestly, it was inedible. But before we could even say anything, Liz noticed it didn't look right and immediately comped it. Exceptional service totally saved the night. We'll definitely be back to try more of the pasta next time we're in Hochatown!

    Margherita pizza
    Lea Z.

    First, I'd like to say the servers were very nice and professional. The restaurant is cute in a French brunch garden type feel. The pizza oven is beautiful and I loved the open kitchen. But, the chairs are horrendous. Metal stack chairs designed to ensure no leisurely dining or your butt will be numb. I wanted to order a fish or chicken dish in a Northern Italian style but didn't find any such option in the menu. None of the appetizers are gluten-free so we couldn't try those either. Lots of bottles of wine but I only wanted a glass, only Italian Chardonnay offered, so had the Decoy Merlot instead. It's a solid Merlot that I've had before but I can't drink too much red. Pasta was to be my savior since they have a gluten-free angel hair but as we waited to order we were able to hear the table to our left and to our right complain. Table on left, "Flavorless...bland, etc". Table on right, "Terribly overcooked pasta, can't eat it." So, pasta was out. It's a small menu, that left pizza. Hubs ordered the Margherita and while his topping were delicious and his pizza properly baked, the dough was not properly stretched and made for a biscuit dough type crust except the middle. I ordered the gluten-free Miele Caldo, a hot honey over pepperoni, arugula and goat cheese pizza. The toppings were excellent, perfect cupping on the pepperoni, the sauce a tad sweet, but overall good. The crust though! Yuck. The absolute worst gluten-free pizza I've ever had anywhere in the world. First off, it looked like a grocery store brand with the poked holes on the crust. Second, it was hard as a rock. Seriously, I could've shaved the sides into rigid peaks and used it as a weapon. It was completely white on the bottom so no idea on earth how they turned into cement. At $28 per personal pizza they are selling an elevated experience and bringing a food court one.

    We had a 6:15 reservation and had a great experience at Pressa Italia in Hochatown. Our waitress, Liz, was fantastic. She was a blonde with a great smile, very friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. I asked her for a recommendation because I always judge an Italian restaurant by how well they can make a simple classic like spaghetti and meatballs. If a restaurant takes pride in homemade meatballs and fresh pasta, that says a lot about the kitchen. Liz recommended the lasagna instead, saying it was one of their signature dishes, and I'm glad I listened--it was excellent. I also ordered the sautéed mushrooms on the side, and they were absolutely delicious with plenty of garlic and great flavor. My wife ordered a salad and asked to add grilled chicken. The chicken came on the side, cut into small pieces, and unfortunately it was very dry and didn't really seem grilled. Before we even had to mention it, Liz noticed it herself, apologized, and removed it from our bill without us asking. That kind of attention to detail and customer service really stood out. Between the excellent service, the delicious lasagna, and the amazing mushrooms, we had a wonderful dinner. The only miss was the chicken, but Liz handled it so professionally that it didn't take away from the experience. We'll definitely be back. Five stars!

    Cesar salad
    Ivy B.

    So good!!!!!!!! The pizza was incredible and might be some of the best I'd have! The pasta was just as good and was so awesome to dip the pizza in vodka sauce! The place is also adorable and cute! The service was honestly somewhat slow but honestly that is somewhat to be expected on a Saturday and also just a slower paced environment which is nice to enjoy dinner!

    Pressa is the shining star of Broken Bow dining. Honestly, it would be a hit in almost any neighborhood in Dallas. The space is enchanting, with huge windows and an atmosphere that feels like magnolia-meets-Italian chic--relaxed, stylish, and welcoming. The ambiance alone makes it feel like a destination. Drinks and appetizers or dinner with the family. The menu is relatively short, which I appreciate. I like to see a focused menu done well than a long list of mediocre options. Everything about this restaurant feels intentional. The Caesar salad was great--balanced and not overly anchovy-heavy. The bruschetta came with four large pieces topped with the perfect amount of tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic. Simple, done beautifully and delicious. The wine list is solid and fits the menu well. This is definitely a higher-end dinner spot, with the filet priced around $55. There's no kids' menu, but thankfully my picky crew loved the pizza--crust included, which says a lot. Reservations recommended!

    Meatballs and Tuscany wine!
    Leigh M.

    Lasia and Kate were fantastic servers! Their friendly, attentive service made the experience even better. The customer service and ambiance are both exceptional--such a gorgeous space with beautiful, tasteful décor. The meatballs, mushrooms, and pizza were absolutely fabulous and are definite must-orders. The Limoncello Martini was refreshing, delicious, and perfect for beating the heat! The only thing that could make this place even better would be a solo guitarist playing live music to complete the atmosphere. Highly recommend--I'll definitely be back!

    Brussel sprouts
    Grace K.

    This restaurant has a wonderful ambiance and the decor is quite beautiful. Whoever designed this restaurant has spectacular taste and you can tell that every item was placed with purpose. The waitress was very friendly and the restaurant was fairly empty for lunch on a weekday. We were seated promptly and served efficiently. The Brussel sprouts were seasoned well and the tiny peppers made it seem very high end and sophisticated. The pizza had great toppings however the crust could have been more chewy and had more developed flavor. You can definitely tell that this restaurant uses high quality ingredients, but they could definitely improve the pizza dough. My diagnosis: gorgeous decor with great Italian food overall.

    Beautiful water closet

    Pressa Italia was absolutely spectacular. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but this is classy Italian dining and the quality absolutely backs it up. The ambiance is adorable and genuinely makes you feel like you've stepped into a little spot in Italy--warm, charming, and thoughtfully designed. The service was also top-notch from start to finish: attentive, friendly, and well-paced. Every dish we tried was delicious, with generous portions across the board. The pizza was a standout--perfectly chewy crust and well-seasoned. The La Carne is a must for meat lovers. And while I'm usually not a goat cheese fan, the Miele Caldo pizza completely changed my mind. So good. The Brussels sprouts were incredibly flavorful and impressively crispy. Honestly, everything we ordered was a hit. We went for weekday lunch, had no wait, plenty of seating, and easy parking. For 11 people, our total after tax and tip was around $250, which felt very reasonable for a high-end brunch-style Italian meal. If you're in Broken Bow / Hochatown and want elevated Italian food with great vibes and service, Pressa Italia is absolutely worth it! Check it out!

    Meatball Appetizer
    Sun S.

    I would like to start off by saying that this place is incredible. Every food option that you could choose, is outstanding. I'd love to give a shoutout to Alicia, our server. She was ready and willing to receive every question we had, and answer knowledgeably and promptly. She is outstanding. Thank you guys for a wonderful second experience. Always a favourite.

    Finally, a higher end restaurant in the Broken Bow area without the business formal attire requirement. After spending days cooking out at the rental cabin, I was excited to learn about this place for a nice night out. Reservations: Recommended via Resy online Location: Right off the main highway (259) between Hochatown and Broken Bow closer to south end of Hochatown. It's in the new Hochabow shopping center with ample parking. Wine selection is great for its size. For example, their Cabernet by the glass is the deliciously smooth DAOU and that's what Ruth's Chris sells as well except Pressa's price was $4 less. They have a wall of various wine selections you can easily look at too. Expresso martini was delicious; add Baileys as that makes it smoother. The food was all delicious with ample portions: - Caesar salad (not a strong anchovies flavor) - Bruschetta - Focaccia bread and olive oil, balsamic, garlic butter - Fettuccini alfredo with crusted chicken on top - Brussel sprouts (with that salty flash fried taste like high end steakhouses make them) - Mushrooms (thick pieces) Our waitress was super nice. Service wasn't fast, but we wanted to take our time and relax. The inside is super cute and the private unisex bathroom was nice and clean as well. This is a must visit place when in Broken Bow. I wore athletic gear and a hat inside, so go enjoy a nice dinner without having to dress up!

    Shrimp Scampi

    Food, service, and ambiance was absolutely amazing! We had the Bruschetta, the Shrimp Scampi, a Miele Caldo Pizza, and a Citrus Olive Oil Cake slice. Each dish was a 10/10! Kimberly was our server. She was the absolute best! Always kept us updated, refilled drinks, and answered every question we had. Her smile and service lights up the room and made our experience beautiful.

    Half of salsica pasta

    This spot was a real surprise. The signage on the building is pretty misleading. You'd never guess there's an Italian restaurant and a few cute little shops tucked into this parking lot/complex (the first few times we passed it - I honestly though it was a winery or and office park). I only found it thanks to Yelp, and I'm glad I did. Honestly, this town could use a few more places like this. It's a refreshing step up from all the bar food and corn dog joints we kept driving past. We weren't super hungry, so we decided to split the meatball appetizer and the bowtie pasta Salsiccia. The meatballs were large, tender, and flavorful, a pretty solid start. The pasta dish featured mushrooms and sausage, and not just any sausage -- the good kind, decased and crumbled, not sliced. The sauce was subtle, and while it wasn't the best pasta I've ever had, it's definitely some of the best food we've had in the area. Our waitress, Alicia, was an absolute gem, she was friendly, helpful, and attentive. We were there on the early side for dinner, and it wasn't too crowded. I hope it gets busier and really thrives, because it's a little gem that deserves to stick around. I would have loved to have tried one of the pizzas!

    Chicken Alfredo

    Went here with a group of 8 girls for a bachelorette trip and had a great experience. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They turned the music down when we asked. The chef sent out complimentary Brussels sprouts and confit mushrooms because he had prepared extra. We also ordered the bread, bruschetta, and Caesar salads, and everything was delicious. The portions are pretty big. Most of us split entrées and still had food. The lasagna was hands-down the star of the meal and I will absolutely be thinking about it for a while. The spicy vodka pasta was also very good with a nice kick, and the Alfredo was delicious. The Hugo Spritz was excellent too. One of our meals was entered incorrectly and had to be remade, and they graciously gave us an extra entrée while fixing it. Great service, great food, and I would definitely recommend this place!

We were here for brunch and I did enjoy my bagel but I asked for a side of scramble eggs and was really disappointed by the response that they only cook poached eggs. So I'll take a star off for this. And there was a bit confusion with the rest of our food but overall it was ok.

    Well we've given it a second chance and still not average. The food for example we ordered the…read morecaprese salad and it came with 5 slices of a barely ripe tomato. I know an heirloom is the choice but a ripe Roma would have been perfect. My wife's pasta was only warm and could have been a microwaveable meal. My pasta with sausage however was really very good. We actually shared mine and took hers home. The ambience is lovely and does have a relaxing feel and takes you to a local Italian ristorante. The service both times has been the bummer part. We waited for menus then they said they only had one, took it from another table and we shared. Jacob didn't offer any suggestions or specials. We ordered a bottle of Pellegrino and they were out of ice for the bucket. He later found some. I refilled out glasses the whole night as he never came back. Didn't check on how the meal was prepared, need anything, just ditched us. Asked about dessert and delivered the check. I've worked fine dining and Veronas falls short for $75 without alcohol. There are other options that I would choose.
