We had dinner here for a friend’s birthday, and it was our first time visiting. The experience was great! The food was delicious—while they don’t make their own pasta, the sauces on every dish we tried more than made up for it. What truly made the evening special, though, was our server, Christina. She was fantastic from start to finish, incredibly attentive, and even helped us pull off a birthday surprise. Her service really elevated the entire experience!

Our favorite place in all of Fort Worth. Exceptional service and food every time. We love to hear their specials as it’s always something good. My favorite is the bolognese and Caesar. Husband ordered the spicy mussel pasta. The mini cannolis are the perfect size for dessert.

Dinner was perfect! We had not made a reservation, but came early enough that we were seated promptly. Besa, our server, did an excellent job taking care of us! Amazing food! Loved the bruschetta. Will return again!

This was our first time trying this restaurant. We had reservations and chose the patio.The atmosphere was very lovely;romantic, comfortable seating with a fireplace and ample lighting. Our waiter, Eddie, was very knowledgeable of the menu and drink selections. Unfortunately, the food was ok. Lacking seasoning and just weird combos. The short rib was cooked to perfection, but lacked flavor. The potatoes that accompanied it had a strange sour taste that, in my opinion, did not pair well with the short rib. The halibut was slightly overcooked with no seasoning. It had char marks, but desperately needed at least some salt. The tomato sauce with gnocchi was sour and also lacked seasoning. The hollandaise sauce was more like lemon with butter as it was broken and watery. The creme brulee was runny, but the flavors were really spot on. I am not sure if we caught them on a off night or if it was due to our late reservation, 815 PM on a Friday night. This meal was priced as a fine dining experience, but did not meet expectations. I'm sure there are better Italian restaurants in Fort Worth with chefs who maintain standards that would love to take your money. Skip this place.

I ventured to Piola for a fun girlfriend dinner after several recommendations. I was not disappointed. This charming restaurant is a gem. We dined indoors but outdoor seating is available (probably best enjoyed when it’s not a Texas Solar Apocalypse). Reservations are highly encouraged. We enjoyed several menu options (see attached photos). The device was impeccable and our waitress (Keely) was attentive and provided excellent dining and wine suggestions. The food was prepared and presented flawlessly. Can not recommend highly enough and I can’t wait to return for another special occasion or just to try more from the menu.
My compliments to the owner, FOH, and BOH. It. Was. Perfect.
