Experts' Choice Award Nonna Tata
What the experts agree on
Hidden 21-seat trattoria serving authentic homestyle Italian that rivals the real thing. Cash-only, BYOB, tiny patio with mismatched charm—expect a wait, but the housemade pasta justifies it. Easy to miss in Fairmount District, but worth seeking out.
Lonely Planet "This tiny, unpretentious place is as authentic as Italian gets in Texas. Some ground rules: be prepared to wait – the pasta is worth it." Full review
