De Nunno

This is a great spot to check out in UTC! I've never seen a pasta place in a food court before, but I'm glad to have one! It is a bit pricey, but I wouldn't expect anything else from pasta in a food court. I got the pesto with salmon and it was delicious and hot when it came out! The wait is a bit long, but that's to be expected as they are making the pasta right in front of you. The ambiance is definitely busy as it is located in the dining terrace of the UTC. Overall, I would go back if I'm ever craving convenient pasta in the UTC!

You can tell that the pasta is not of the dried variety. It had a nice, chewy texture. However, my carbonara with spaghetti was very salty due to the guanciale. I would try a different sauce next time. The tiramisu wasn't too sweet and had a soft texture which I liked. I've seen enough Top Chef to know that pasta is flour, egg, and water so I'm not sure why it's always so expensive. The price point was cheaper here, though, because it is in the food court.

Amazing Italian food in a mall?! WTF?Yup, I'm still shocked and amazed even after several days to process it all.The carbonara and pesto dishes crafted here invoked nostalgia of my brief time traipsing around Rome, Florence and Venice so many many years ago.Quite Honestly these dishes tasted so good to me that they should have demanded to be brought out by a waiter on real plates and be paired with house wine.This is something you'd expect to be served in a trattoria, not at a mall! My only regret is that we didn't order more food. It was THAT good to me.And judging by all of the other mall patrons I saw scattered around the food court, many would agree that the food here is delightfully amazing.

Finally made it here, and I can't believe I haven't gone sooner! They make the pasta right in front of your eyes, and it tastes as fresh as it looks. They have a variety of pasta and sauce options with veggie, cheese, and meat add-ons. I was a little skeptical of the price, but honestly it ended up being a better value than many of the comparable fresh pasta places in Little Italy because the portion size was generous. The spinach and ricotta ravioli were fresh and cooked to perfection. The employees were also very kind - they forgot to add the mushrooms to my dish so they remade it fresh and even gave me a tiramisu on the house. Having tasted it, I would 100% buy it again - so rich and fluffy. Can't believe I've been missing this gem for so long, but I will definitely be back!

De Nunos is located in the food court at UTC Mall. They are located near the entrance. There's a process when you order. You start with your pasta of choice. Then you select your sauce. I chose fettuccine and the creamy mushroom and sausage sauce. The flavor was a little on the bland side. I guess I could e asked for a little more salt.

My sister and I questioned whether this spot would be good as it is an Italian food spot in the middle of a mall food court. I did a cursory glance on Yelp, and from the high-ish reviews we decided to share the Creamy Mushroom and Sausage. The girl who gave me my food was kind enough to give me an extra bowl so I could share with my sister. I was excited to try out the food because it was made to order, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, it was lacking in flavor, it doesn't seem like the sausage or the mushrooms were seasoned at all and I think because mushrooms can sometimes exude a lot moisture, it ended up making the overall dish plain. Long story short, my sister ended up taking it home and adding more seasonings and veggies to improve it.I gave this place 2 stars because the service was great! The girl who gave me my order was more than accommodating and kind. Also, I think this place has potential.

A go to when you're in UTC, located in the food court. The fresh pasta and sauces are excellent, you should expect quality of one of your favorite Italian restaurants. I always get the bolognese.

If you're in UTC and want to eat something nicer in between stores, De Nunno is a fabulous option. They offer a selection of fresh pastas with a variety of sauces at a decent price and optional toppings that are a bit more expensive. There is a tad bit of a wait as they make dishes to order, but it isn't long at all and the service was super charming. I left with two bowls of pasta and four adorable chocolate truffles in my pocket. There are plenty of vegetarian options and overall is a cute budget date choice.Conchiglie Amatriciana w/ Burrata (4.25/5): The tomato sauce was super fresh and the sweetness of the tomato was very prominent. The noodles themselves were a super fun texture and had all sorts of fun crevices to hold the sauce and bits of salty, savory guanciale. I personally would recommend the burrata to add some creaminess without being super heavy, but I'm also a sucker for cheese.Fettuccine Creamy Mushroom & Sausage (3.5/5): The mushroom sauce was an awesome balance of creaminess and earthiness, but the homemade Italian sausage was oddly bland. It just tasted like plain ground meat as opposed to sausage, which was a bit disappointing.

Price point was pretty high for a food court restaurant but the pasta was al dente and the sauce was pretty good. Loved that everything was made fresh and our meal was piping hot.
