Nonna Tata

Food was delicious, and the atmosphere was restorative. Nonna Tata is the physical manifestation of the way to someone's heart is through their stomach.

*Cash/ Check ONLY here*Upon entering....If I had been walking any faster, I would have run into the kitchen bc there were a few tiny tables to sit at inside (most of the seating is outside/ thrown up on the curb). We started with the bruschetta....our mouths were assaulted by the deep and overpowering taste of vinegar....so we set it aside. It was the worst bruschetta I've ever had in my entire existence. We ordered the gamberi w. homemade pasta and the carbonara. The gamberi was......ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! All that I could taste was chicken bullion/ bullion cubes and it was unbelievably salty...so I pushed my plate of nonsense....overhyped NONSENSE to the side. The carbonara was dry and tasted like......NOTHING. We got everything packed up to be nice and placed the food where it belonged.....in the trash. I don't enjoy writing reviews like this, but this was our reality. It got SUPER REAL having to hand over hard-earned money for this gutter meal. We were asked if we wanted to order dessert and stopped while we were ahead. We went to enjoy dinner after this place (round II). You all can have this place. LOL My GOSH!

Love this place and the food and atmosphere. Save room for apple Pear cake! Bar next door for beers or drinks while you wait.

This was my first time trying this establishment on 06/22/24, and we will definitely be back. I was on a mission to find authentic Lasagne All Bolognese, so my husband told me about this place. I ordered the Lasagne with a Caesar salad, and my husband ordered the Vitello Ai Funghi, and for dessert, we had the Panna Cotta. The food here is really fresh and delicious. The noodles were homemade and light. The restaurant is tiny but adorable on the inside, seating no more than 20 people. With larger tables and seating outside. I would recommend coming in before they open or after dark hours during the summertime. Our waitress was great. She was kind and would answer any question with a smile. If you are looking for amazing authentic Italian food, look no further!!

Don't let the cash/check only policy and the 6 indoor dining tables discourage you from trying this place out. Not going to lie, I was pretty skeptical about the merits of this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Everything was delicious and well cooked. They make a mean calamari that is tender and not over cooked at all. It's different from the calamari you would usually expect at Italian restaurants since it's not fried... nonetheless, it was so tasty. The pasta was boiled to perfection. I had no complaints about the food whatsoever. I had a wonderful experience asides from the 1 hour wait (so come early) :)PSA: They are BYOB!

Amazing small Italian restaurant on Magnolia in Fort Worth just 5 min south of downtown Fort Worth. It feels very intimate. Everything is made from scratch. I observed them in the kitchen. FYI its BYOB!

The food is phenomenally authentic!! I was absolutely impressed with all of the amazing flavors! Irene our server was awesome & attentive! She's been there for 9 years which says a lot nowadays! She made good recommendations! She was extremely sweet. The location is a small hole in the wall with outdoor seating & covered patio areas as well! It was cozy, welcoming & warm! It was quite chilly outside! I'm part Sicilian & had a daddy who cooked delicious authentic Italian food. This place is an absolute GEM !! They have homemade pasta & everything is made to order & fresh. This is my new go to for authentic Italian food! Il cibo è molto buono

Pretty good service although they were beyond packed. We went in the Fall on one of the cool nights in November and sat on the patio. The patio is enclosed and warm. I didn't realize they were byob otherwise we would've brought our own wine, next time. The food was good, but the tiramisu was better. I also tried the panna cotta because why not? I'd go back on a less busy day, if those exist, and try something different on the menu, it was otherwise an enjoyable experience.

To start off, this place is cash or check only but don't let that keep you from visiting. It's worth stopping somewhere to grab cash beforehand. It's also BYOB and to save a few dollars ($3/glass), bring your own wine glass if you're bringing something that's not bottled. The experience is great if your goal is to have a dinner that tastes amazing but this is not somewhere you come and have a romantic dinner for a date night. The bruschetta was a small portion and I'm not the biggest fan of balsamic but every bite was memorable. The Caesar salad and Pollo Alla Milanese entree were a good size and the dishwasher didn't have to clean much cause I licked the plates clean. My girlfriend also really enjoyed her lentil soup and gnocchi.The service was good but not very fast. Overall, I'm happy that I didn't listen to the negative reviews here on Yelp and got to experience this place.

This place was wonderful!!!! The food was absolutely delicious and I love how relaxed the place was. The three dishes we got were the pesto with chicken added, carbonara, and pappardelle alla zucca which was one of their seasonal specials. All three dishes were amazing, a great price, and a good portion size. I will be coming back here!
