Went for birthday dinner but it was also Valentine’s weekend. I had the Bolognese Short Rib which is typically off menu - the best bolognese I’ve had in the US. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were also amazing. Everything was delicious.

Dined here again—this time for a Valentine’s Day dinner with the husband and some friends. Love the food, service for a busy night was still attentive and pleasant and sorry, not sorry but this establishment is better than Carbone. I said what I said!

Enoteca is one of our favorite places to dine in the Dallas Fort Worth region. Arguably the best Italian in the region, this local gem keeps spectacular specials while maintaining great service. Even on the busiest nights, the beautiful family who owns it finds time for at least one or two family members to ask you how the meal was. It feels like dining in “nonna’s” kitchen but elevated enough to enjoy a meal here on special occasions and when you just need some comfort. What a wonderful place you have, Chef!

We had a wonderful experience at Encoteca Italia! It was our first time visiting, and the waiter made it such a memorable experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and dishes, which made it so much easier for us to make our choices. The Brussel sprouts were amazing and Our main dishes were also fantastic, full of flavor and expertly prepared. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back again soon! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food and top-notch service.
