The fresh-pasta dishes at Nonna in Dallas set the city's Italian cooking standard: hand-rolled egg-yolk pasta with seasonal fillings or sauces, made daily from soft wheat and local eggs, served in a room that has run continuously since 1999.
Julian Barsotti opened Nonna on Lomo Alto Drive in 1999 as a straightforward Tuscan trattoria. Since 1999, the restaurant has become the Dallas benchmark for Italian pasta: the tagliatelle with short rib ragu and the seasonal ravioli have appeared on best-dish lists across the decades. The commitment to daily-made pasta from scratch distinguishes Nonna from the region's other Italian operators.
