There’s only a few really special spots in Richardson and this is one of them. My Italian girlfriend whose father is from Naples absolutely loved this restaurant. We live down the street and were mad we didn’t visit sooner. Can’t wait to go back and also try the Downtown Dallas location! Sea bass was amazing Make reservations if possible if going on Friday or Saturday night. Everything was stupendous from start to finish. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Service and atmosphere doesn’t get any better. Generous portions too! As first timers, our waitress was more than happy to help us pick accommodating our palates. We ordered the Fritto misto for an appetizer, chop salad Napoli Centrale and Sea Bass For drinks, try the Godfather or something from the dessert drink menu, you won’t be disappointed. We regret not ordering a dessert. Affogato or tiramisu will be ordered next time.

Fantastic pizza and a better than usual tiramisu. Very pleasant and helpful service. I will go again if I get the chance (only in Dallas on a brief visit). Recommended! I went at an unusual time, 4.30pm on a Monday, so it was not busy at all so can't really comment on the atmosphere but it was starting to fill up at 5.45pm.

Absolutely loved my experience at Partenope Ristorante! No surprise it’s ranked #12 in the USA and #74 in the world in 2024 — everything we tried was incredible. We had the bruschetta, Gladiator pizza without meat, pesto pasta, and a lavender ginger beer mocktail. The pizza was light and flavorful, the pasta was delicious, and the mocktail was a total standout. Great ambience and warm service — can’t wait to go back!

This place is incredible. I am so happy we ended up here while we stayed in Dallas for the symphony. The lasagna is only available on the weekends so I had to try it and it did not disappoint. My husband got a pizza with prosciutto on it and the crust was some of the best crust I’ve ever had. I had a mocktail and my husband had an NA beer. It was a lovey atmosphere and wonderful for a date night. We dressed casually and walked to and from our hotel. Please try this place if you’re interested in Italian food. You will not be disappointed.

Came to Dallas for a Luke Bryan show and this restaurant was next door to the hotel. If you haven’t been here or don’t come your missing one of the best Italian places on the planet. I’m a pizza fanatic and this place has the best I came back the next day. Kevin and his staff are an excellent example of customer service to the max. Hard to find places like this anymore after Covid!
