I had the chance to finally try Baonecci this past week and it was a phenomenal experience! Our waiter, Rogelio, taught us all about the restaurant's history and about the menu. Baonecci used to be in San Francisco and recently came to Frisco, TX in the last 3 years. Their entire menu is ordered in fresh from Europe, pastas and pizzas are handmade in house, and everything lacks processed ingredients. To begin, we ordered white wine and I believe the Judas Spritz, which contained red wine, orange, and more. Both were excellent and paired perfectly with our appetizers and meals. For our appetizers, we ordered the Bruschetta and the Tagliere Toscano, or charcuterie board. The bruschetta was some of the best we have ever had and was made with excellently toasted bread. The Tagliere Toscano contained a variety of tasty meats, cheese, olives, as well as focaccia bread. It was a perfect board and not too heavy before our main meal. We also split the Baonecci Salad, which contained romaine lettuce, arugula, goat cheese and pears. It was absolutely delicious and perfect for the two of us. For our entrees, we ordered the Ravioloni Riccotta e Spinaci and an item from the secret menu, veal ravioli with white sauce. We also spilt a Contadina pizza. We were absolutely blown away by each of these dishes, the Ravioloni Riccotta e Spinaci was my particular favorite. The ravioli ricotta and spinach was served with the best gorgonzola cream sauce and topped with walnuts, it was honestly one of my favorite dishes I have had this year. The secret menu item was classic Italian and another hit. We loved the Contadina pizza as well. It was made very thin and crispy, echoing true Italian style. It definitely could be an appetizer because it was very light. It was made with gorgonzola, mozzarella, parmesan and topped with curly pears, it was delicious! Lastly, for dessert, Rogelio recommended we try the Coppa Amarena over the Tiramisu, so we did. It was a great choice! The Coppa Amarena is vanilla gelato topped with Amarena cherries. It is a perfect, fruity and light dessert to end the night with. However, I would love to come back for the Tiramisu! Overall, it was an absolutely amazing experience. The food is authentic, Italian and clearly made fresh and in-house. Our waiter, Rogelio, also made it such a fun night and gave us amazing recommendations that made the entire experience great. I cannot wait to come back and try more from the menu and have some of these dishes again. Don't let it deter you that it is located in a strip mall, it is truly a hidden, Italian gem. I look forward to returning soon! Thank you so much for a great experience and night!!

Had a wonderful dining experience at Baonecci! The standout dish was definitely the tagliatelle al sugo - perfectly cooked pasta with a rich, flavorful sauce. The service throughout the evening was exceptional - attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The focaccia was delicious, though it would have been even better with a side of olive oil for dipping. That's really my only minor critique of an otherwise excellent meal. Overall, Baonecci delivers on both food quality and hospitality. Would definitely return and recommend to others looking for authentic Italian cuisine with great service.

I ordered the Monte Bianco pizza, which had no meat listed on the menu and no meat shown on Google Photos. When I asked before ordering, I was told I could add meat, so I assumed it came without any. The pizza came with pork, which I don’t eat. When I asked them to remove it, the waiter looked at me like it was a problem and unpleasant look. The food is overpriced ($29 for a 12-inch pizza, $4 for a can of Coke), the crust tasted like a cracker and dry hard as brick Service: 0/10. I do not recommend this place. DONT TRUST THE GOOD REVIEW. They are screwed. If you want the honest review, click on the ones with lowest reviews. They are real customer experience not paid. The food and experience is not worth spending a dime. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE DIETARY RESTRICTION and WANT A DIRTY ATTITUDE from people.

Most authentic Italian food in the Dallas area. Meatballs were extraordinary, and I know meatballs. The pizza with sausage and onions was succulent with a thin crackle crust that was unique. The desserts, well we had the Torta Nonna and Nonno and both were homemade. We weren’t planning to eat much as it was a long day and we only wished they were opened Sunday as we were leaving Monday, or else we would have been back again. Truly original, homemade Italian that you’d have a hard time finding anywhere. GO! You’ll not regret it.

This was the most lovely restaurant I have ever eaten at. Each member of the staff has the most welcoming presence and genuine personality! The service was beyond impeccable, and the food was unmatched! Authentic Italian cuisine is hard to come by in America, yet here it is, brought by Stefania and Walter and their kind family! The ambience was perfect and made our first experience dining here amazing! We plan to try the entire menu starting with each staff member’s favorites! Our lovely waitress was America!! We loved her!! Thank you, friends! We enjoyed every bit of this restaurant!!

Our date night on Saturday was perfect from the time we walked the door to the time we left. The host is very personable and interacted with the customers as they came in and left. Our waitress Noelle was amazing and funny, she welcomed us in and told us about the family and how the food is made and and answered all of our questions. The pizza is award winning and I highly recommend it! We also tried the lasagna and the rissoto Al fruti di mare both were great recommendations. Our waitress was also nice enough to let people know she was going to take a video for their social media page incase anyone didn't want to be in it. Overall I was highly satisfied and have not had Italian food this good since we were in Italy. The waitstaff all worked together to ensure everyone was taken care of as well as the host, which I belive is the owners son, they made it an amazing experience for us. If you have an anniversary or date night and want an overall amazing experience and food, this is definitely the hidden gem to go to!

Had an opportunity to bring my mom from Ohio here this evening and we had such a wonderful experience. My mom ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and they were so good, she had to meet the chef behind the scenes to proclaim how they were the best she’s ever had. If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant rooted in the history of Italy, look no further! Thank you Nick for the hospitality as well!

We stopped into Baonecci Ristorante on a Saturday evening around 6:00 for our first visit. The restaurant was mostly empty, but we still got a slightly judgy look for not having a reservation, which was a bit off-putting. Thankfully, the service was friendly and fast throughout the meal. The atmosphere was nice and clearly aiming to be a step above casual dining, which they mostly achieve. Now to the food. I had the lasagna and my wife ordered the tagliatelle bolognese. The flavors were fine and you can tell the pasta is homemade, but the dishes didn't quite justify the steep pricing. The lasagna was $32 for a smaller-than-average cut, and the bolognese was $34 for a modest portion. It tasted better than your standard chain Italian spot, but not by much. At those prices, we expected something more impressive or memorable. We also tried the tiramisu and the cannoli. The tiramisu was solid, though again on the small side. The cannoli was tiny and lacked the flavor you'd want from a $12 dessert. All in, the bill came to $112 for two people, without any drinks or extras. Nothing was bad, but it just didn't feel worth the price. If the portions were a little bigger or the flavors more standout, we'd feel differently. Right now, it feels like a restaurant that wants to be upscale but hasn't fully earned it. We might return, but only with adjusted expectations.

The food here was amazing! Everything was so fresh and flavorful. We had a Judas Spritz and a Hugo Spritz, and both were so good. I don't usually like the taste of alcohol, but the Judas Spritz was delicious and super easy to drink. We started with the bruschetta, and it was perfect. The tomatoes were juicy, hand-picked, and full of flavor. I'm not even a big tomato fan, but I ate every single piece. For the main course, I had a pesto pasta (can't remember the exact name) and a Margherita pizza, and both were incredible. The pesto was super fresh and the pizza was honestly the best pizza I've ever had. We finished with the tiramisu, and it was amazing light, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending. Everything from start to finish was perfection, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone! Our waiter was super nice, funny, & very informative. The place was super cute & the vibes were really chill!

My fave italian spot in Frisco! Beautiful ambience, reminds me of being in Italy. The staff are always welcoming and friendly! I recommend making a reservation as they are becoming more popular. What we've had: -Bruschetta: always so good! -Focaccia bread: it's ok. -Baonecci salad: a good salad. -Tagliatelle bolognese: a staple! -Tartufata pizza: always a yes! -Carpaccio: highly recommend. -all their desserts yummy! I love taking friends here, such a great restaurant for lively conversation and also dates.

The food was good, but obscenely priced. Compare it to Miss Pasta for example. Baonecci's lasagna is good, maybe even a little better than Miss Pasta's; however, it's also 70% more expensive AND a smaller portion. Same with their cannoli - 2x the price of Miss Pasta's, but half the size! See my picture comparison of their cannoli to a Porsche 911 car key. I was shocked when I saw it. Again, the food was good, but the prices are a little out of touch with reality and relative value. My Italian aunts be rollin' in their graves right now.

I hate to say this because I really wanted to love it since everything is made in house but the negative reviews were right. The food was rather bland/ minimal seasoning, small portions, and the pastas are grossly overpriced. Over $35 for bolognese is wild. Get my point? Yea, the other pasta options followed in suit in terms of pricing. It wouldn't be a major deal breaker if the flavor was spot on but it was grossly lacking. I love thin crust pizza but their pizza was thinner than a cracker! Thinner than the communion crackers and again... lacking in flavor. I literally left barely feeling content after eating the entire pizza.

I'm torn about writing this review. On the plus side, Baonecci reminds me a lot of the food in Italy. The sauces looked and tasted different from other Italian restaurants in America and I do appreciate that. On the downside, the dishes were underseasoned and didn't pop with flavors. The best dish we tried was the Seafood Risotto and the worst was the Lasagna. The service was magnificent, but I don't believe I will go back for the food.

The service & ambiance were 5 star. The food I thought was extremely pricey & portion size small. I had the Tagliatelle Al Sugo Bolognese, which was very bland. $34 for the meal & does not include a salad or bread. I definitely will not be back. My favorite Italian is still Gallo Nero where you definitely get more bang for your buck. I'm giving 1 star for the food, but 5 stars for service & ambiance.

I'm not sure why my review of this place disappeared, but it's gone. Save your money and skip this spot. Food is mediocre and the servers have a miserable, sour attitude--definitely not cut out for service jobs. The pizza is so thin it's practically a tortilla, like paper-thin. Don't waste your time here; it's the worst Italian food in Frisco. Maybe it'd fly in NoCal, but not in Texas.

Food is average. Pretentious and overpriced. $10 for bread.. asked for olive oil or butter - their response was "no, we don't do that here. We used to, back when we were in San Francisco." Say what? A "no" from me.

Food, Service, & Ambiance HIT!!! First off-Ask for Rogelio R!!! He suggested we start with bruschetta and let me tell you- the best! I also got the Baonecci salad- romaine & arugula mix with goat cheese & pears! For our meal we enjoyed Raviolloni Ricotta & Scaloppine alla Pizzaiola!! And for the "main course" Tiramisu & Coppa Amarena! Best date night!

Yall when I say texas has found its Italian I'm not lying! Small "hole in the wall" restaurant at the end of a shopping strip. Go in!! And have a seat! The service is a little slow however it's Xmas Eve and LITERALLY one waiter and One amazing right hand woman. She did it all. She was busing, water refilled, set tables etc. she was amazing and wore a smile on her face the whole time!! Our waiter aka Roger but not Roger. Roger is what he said however I didn't catch his real name he was absolutely amazing! The humor he has was perfect for our table of 5! We had 2 bottles of wine he suggested it. We had 3 pizzas, 2 pasta dishes and 3 desserts. Can I say we were pigging out. Absolutely!! The food was fantastic! The seafood pasta was my favorite no sauces needed all olive oil based and real tomatoes. The pizzas are thin thin and fantastic. It's not your typical American pizzas! These r real Italian style! I'm not sure who the owner was or if he was there but the waiter talked very kindly of his theory on food! I wish the food was a little cheaper. The pasta dishes are between $27-$39. The pizzas were between $17-$39 with 6 slices, salads oh wait we had a salad too. lol the salads were around $15-$20. I had the arugula, burrata one yummy!! Overall fantastic Xmas eve experience. I will 100% be back! Maybe after I do yoga next door to make room for it

This new family-owned Italian restaurant is located at the edge of a strip mall in Frisco. Love that it is in a location that is easy to access/park. Upon walking in, I immediately noticed that this place was packed. Luckily we had reservations, but we saw a couple come in after us that had to be turned away due to lack of a reservation. So, highly recommended to lock one down in advance. The decor in the restaurant was minimal. The restaurant itself is small and cozy. With all the tables filled, the sound level can get elevated. Because I'm that type of person, the online menu was reviewed throughly prior to our reservation. So, we walked in knowing what we were going to order. My family is from a different region of Italy than the Tuscan roots that this food is based upon. Therefore I knew to keep an open mind to how dishes can be prepared different. With that in mind, pizza and lasagne were two of the must haves. At the time of this review, they did not have a liquor license, and it was BYOB. I noticed several tables brought their own wine, beer, etc. in which they gladly provided glasses. We didn't bring a bottle of wine with us and planned to just try what they had there but I was surprised to be told that the only drink offerings were Pellegrino and still water. I had assumed (hoped) perhaps there'd be some mocktails or other types of refreshments. For the appetizer we ordered the bruschetta. Main course was pizza Margherita, and my SO ordered the lasagne. The bruschetta and pizza Margherita were perfection. Bruschetta had the perfect blend of garlic, olive oil, and fresh tomatoes on sliced grilled/toasted bread. It was very light and refreshing. Perfect for a summer night. The pizza is wonderfully cracker thin with a crispy crust. Upon my first bite, I was immediately transported back to the last time I visited my family in Italy and the pizza I'd have there. The sauce was flavored perfectly with the ideal amount of fresh mozzarella. Easily can be eaten by one person without feeling overly stuffed. Of course, I shared some with my SO, who gave me his sign of approval. The lasagne had their homemade bolognese between layers of homemade pasta along with a béchamel sauce. The béchamel sauce is a must have for me in lasagne. The overall flavors of the lasagne were pretty good. Would've loved more béchamel between the layers, as there were pockets here and there. Overall, it was satisfying. We did not have room to try any of the desserts, but we did see quite a few tiramisùs being served to other tables. Noted for the next visit. All in all we are excited to have an authentic, family-owned restaurant so close. We definitely plan to go back and try the other pizza and pasta offerings.

My husband and I ordered from this restaurant because of a good review from D Magazine. I cannot believe they gave them such a positive review. We ordered the Funghi Pizza which had very minimal mushrooms. It looked like a Margarita pizza. The mushrooms were not fresh but from a can or jar. It came with a red sauce and barely any cheese. It was the worst pizza I had in years. We also ordered the Lasagna which is supposed to be there best item. The lasagna was so dry and overcooked we threw it in the trash along with the pizza. The Baonecci Salad was also disappointing. With old over soft pears that I didn't want to even attempt to eat it. It also went in the trash. Don't waste your money here. They are overpriced and the food is terrible. Very disappointed in D Magazine for giving it a good review. This was absolutely disgusting. I don't want to even give it one star.

Went here on a Friday night (they sell liquor now!) and it was amazing. The owner and the staff are awesome, and make you feel like family. They have a nice bar area too, and they play Italian stuff on the TV's that's such a nice touch! Great place, a must try. Pizza and pasta are amazing. Tip! You need reservations we saw many people get turned away with no reservations.

The ambience of this restaurant is a 10 out of 10 as well as the service. I would classify this restaurant as the perfect first date restaurant. They also try very hard to make it feel like a proper Italian restaurant. My only complaints is that the food is so so and the prices are outrageous. When you pay almost $40 for a dish, especially when the portions are as small as they are, you expected to be absolute knockout food. However, the ravioli was rather mediocre. I would absolutely give this restaurant a second chance as maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen staff. However, it definitely would not become a regular restaurant given the prices unless they made their portions slightly larger to justify it. If you were wanting to eat somewhere, that is quaint and personable this is your place however it is not the place to go if you are absolutely starving.

I can never pass up handmade pasta so I was thrilled to find this place. the food was delicious and the server friendly, although he forgot to come back several times. there were moments where it felt cozy in there but then reminders of a strip mall vibe. like one of the reviewers, I agree that the ambiance and food do not justify the prices. We have had authentic Italian food throughout the states and will pay if it's worth it. A bit expensive is what we left with.

Had high hopes for this one based on an article I read, but it really didn't wow me. Service was so slow we came about 1 minute from walking out. Apparently they're short handed, but it took 40 minutes from time of arrival (with a reservation) to get someone to take our order. The food was ok. I hated the calzone, it was like someone put a dollop of ricotta on a matzoh and topped it with an olive and an artichoke. So weird to me. No blending of flavors, and from growing up in NYC, I have come to learn that a cracker crust is just not my thing. Everything else was pretty good, but nothing was memorable.

I met up with some girlfriends last night for our weekly girls night out. We had reservations for 6 however for some reason there was miscommunication and we had to wait about 15 min. for a table. The bar area is small and a bit snug with not much seating so we had to stand around with our glasses of wine while we waited. After being seated we waiting another 20 min. to be greeted by our waiter I didn't get his name he was an older gentleman. We started with bread to share. I ordered the Burrata Salad...$18-Arugula, Sliced Tomatoes, Burrata cheese an absolute MUST!!! The cheese tasted like it was made in house and the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. I finished the entire salad which is rare. For entrée a few of us decided on the Tortelli Porcini...$33 Ravioli Filled With Porcini Mushrooms, it was the perfect amount not too heavy or greasy but also very tasty. Items also ordered was the Lasagna...$30 Egg Pasta Sheets, Pork and Beef Sauce, Bechamel Cheese Sauce, Parmigiano. The Tordelli Lucchesi...$35 Meat Ravioli, Housemade Pork and Beef Bolognese Sauce, Parsley. Or waiter was switched to the super hot young tattooed waiter that was a nice dreamy eye candy for us all. Overall although the service was slow every dish ordered was homemade with fresh ingredients. Note: if you are with a large party let them know before ordering that you want separate checks.

Baonecci really catered for our group of 7. Excellent service by the server, unexpectedly chatty and explained most of their dishes in detail. All of their ingredients are non-GMO certified and have true authenticity to its Italian heritage. Since the pasta are made in-house, the server was very accommodative to switching the pasta type with the sauce. Tagliatelle was switched to penne for all'Arrabbiata - slightly more than expected spicy but penne was cooked to perfection. Bruschetta was a crowd pleaser as well. Ah its desserts had a variety. The soft yet smooth mascarpone Cream, and lady fingers soaked in espresso, topped with chocolate powder for Tiramisu was absolute banger. Old but gold.

A close friend recommended this place and we made the 30 minute drive to check it out. We were pleasantly surprised to find this cute cozy place that you know is a family run business the second you step in. The wines and beers offered are all Italian - making for a pure experience. I loved it. We started with the carpaccio which was delightful with my glass of Pecorino. My husband sipped on an Italian beer. For the meal, I had the spinach ricotta ravioli with Gorgonzola cream sauce and walnuts. It was divine. I was glad the portion size was reasonable or I would've kept going... it was that good. Rich but well balanced. Beautiful dish. My husband got the special which was the gnocchi. I have never seen or tasted gnocchi like this. Absolutely pillows that melt. Nothing like the dense gummy gnocchi you get some places. For dessert, we had grandma's cake with some Limoncello. The cake was light with a subtle flavor and nice texture contrast with creaminess mixed with the pine nuts. The service was fantastic. It was a typical relaxed European experience, but we never felt like we were waiting for anything. And the staff is all super kind and lovely. All in all, was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back. Wish we lived closer!

Located in a strip shopping area. Definitely not a high end destination dining spot. The food was very good to excellent. The prices are simply to high for the strip center environment. I don't mean that it needs to be fancy, just charming would do. The server was friendly and did a good job however the group at the next table had barely been seated when after an exchange with a server abruptly got up and left. We enjoyed the food but won't go back because of the prices..

This is my 3rd time, my wife's 5th and daughters 4th time dinning at Baonecci Ristorante. We absolutely love the food. Everything is fresh, flavorful, authentic, and fabulous. The price is worth every penny. We love that it is not your typical chain restaurant.

Omg... amazing family owned Italian restaurant. It's a nice casual Italian. Nothing fancy but the food. Their pasta is homemade and you can tell because it melts in your mouth. We had the lasagna, tagliatelle arrabbiata, mushroom risotto and pizza. Lasagna was a bolognese and béchamel based lasagna. So not overly heavy. Pizza was nice and thin and full of flavor. Risotto was great too but I feel like I can get risotto like that anywhere. We literally licked our plates clean. Portion size was not big was a normal serving size. We also had their tiramisu. Yummy! Will definitely be back!

All I can say is WOW! This is the most amazing Italian food I have had since Little Italy in New York. There are some places that are just far up and above the rest and this would be it. The family moved to the U.S. from Italy about 15 years ago. They have been in The Bay Area but just moved here. It is a family run business and they are really friendly and great service. The food has all the right combinations for a great taste. The menu has all the essentials and I was a little jealous of my wife's pizza. I have not had anything close to this good in Texas and I would visit them soon because after the first article gets written for review it will be a trouble table to reserve. Thank you for bringing great food to the DFW area!!!

Food wasn't anything spectacular. Good truffle flavor on the pizza though. Thought prices overall were high. Service was decent.

Best Italian food in DFW. All homemade and the flavors were extraordinary! Not cheap but worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Pizza was terrible. Worst ever. Crust was like a water cracker. It was really thin and just cracked. Waiter recommended their ravioli with Gorgonzola sauce but they didn't have it. Mushroom ravioli was really plain. No flavor. And that was 7;30 on Friday night.

The food is amazing and fresh! The service is wonderful and the staff are so lovely. I'd eat here all the time if I could! I've not had anything here that wasn't delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a delightful authentic Italian meal!

What a delicious, authentic Northern Italian restaurant! The pizzas are so tasty, thin and crispy crust baked to perfection, and the pasta dishes are excellent, just the right noodle texture! The lasagna is downright indulgent! My favorite dish was the pizza salsiccia y taleggio, but everything was delicious! We were crestfallen when this place shuttered in our neighborhood in SF, but imagine our delight to find they'd relocated to Frisco! We will be back soon!

We were looking for a nice dinner before a show at Theatre Frisco and found this highly rated place searching for BYOB.. Baonecci has good food and nice environment, but it's VERY PRICY. It is not BYOB anymore and their wine is marked up 300%. We ordered a bottle of Pratesi Locorosso for $76 that Vivino uses have rated 3.7 and $17.55 avg price. It was decent, but would compare to $49 at most other restaurants. A $40 wine I might have enjoyed WA's available for $120.. To top it off, the wine bottle seemed to be room temperature. The Bruschetta was very tasty, but at $18 for Toasted Bread, Chopped Tomato, Garlic, Basil, was one of the lowest priced appetizers. Ravioloni Riccotta e spinaci (Ravioli Bufalo Ricotta and Spinach Served With Gorgonzola Cream Sauce and Walnuts) was very tasty as well, but was a meager four 3" ravioli for $35. We also shared a Salsiccia & Stracchino pizza, which was $30. It was far from anything special enough to warrant that price for a 12"-14" crust with a little cheese and maybe 8 pieces of Italian sausage. The service was great with a friendly attentive waiter despite apparently the restaurant being short one person. Our bill was $176 for two of us sharing those 3, items and a bottle of wine. I tipped 25% on the food.

Place wasn't too bad, but sort of meh" and pricy for what it is. It started out with the waiter spending 5 minutes bragging about his credentials and how Dallas magazine rated them the best(which is an extremely pretentious magazine, btw). Salad was actually good but overpriced and kinda small for sharing. Because if you and your date order one each, you are out 40 bucks for ..arugula and a few pears.. We ordered the pizza. It was extremely thin , basically burnt cracker crust on dry dough. I mean I get it, that is the style, but really? 32 bucks?? Warm water served with dinner but understand that is the Italian euro culture(I know cause I come from an Italian family background myself). Tiramisu was decent. Oh yeah, I asked him for a coffee and he never brought it. Maybe will return, not sure

Fabulous meal, top-to-bottom! Great wine selection. Flavorful appetizers. We split a salad with arugula, pears and goat cheese... delicious! We split two pizzas, the Margarita, which was perfect in it's simplicity, and the Monte Bianco, which had fresh mozzarella, prosciutto and mascarpone cheese. As good as any pizza I've had in Dallas! We got a lasagne, not swimming in tomato sauce like the Americanized version most are used to. This plate of heaven has meat and béchamel. It's creamy, velvety, and as my daughter said, "I need more of this sauce in my life!" She's 9. Wrapped up the meal with an Espresso and Tiramisu, the perfect ending to a very special meal. The staff is warm and welcoming, the location quaint and comfortable. I absolutely love this place!

Our meal was enjoyed this evening and staff very nice. You don't feel rushed and it has an European feel. The pizza was great. Now this is if you're looking for that cracker crust as this isn't thick at all, which I love. The bolognese pasta & ravioli were quite tasty. Especially knowing they make pasta in house. This is far from American Italian, items covered in cheese and sauce. You really got to taste the ingredients that aren't masked. So good!
