Partenope Ristorante
Partenope Ristorante brings Neapolitan pizza, pastas and an all-Italian wine list to Downtown Dallas, with a menu inspired by co-owner Dino Santonicola’s Naples roots.
The Got Weekend take
Why go
At Partenope, the Naples connection goes deeper than the pizza: the restaurant takes its name from an early name for the city where co-owner Dino Santonicola grew up and learned to cook. The master pizzaiolo runs the restaurant with his wife, Megan, drawing on southern Italian flavors and hospitality. Neapolitan pizza is the centerpiece, and Partenope earned the No. 12 spot on the 2024 50 Top Pizza USA list. Make pizza the starting point, then explore appetizers, salads and pastas before finishing with dessert. The drinks follow the Italian theme through a wine list devoted entirely to Italy, alongside a full bar. At 1903 Main Street in Dallas’s Central Business District, this location offers separate lunch and dinner menus, so check the Dallas menu for the meal you have in mind. When you’re ready to make plans, book through the Dallas-specific Resy link rather than the restaurant’s Richardson listing.
