We’re talking about hearty spaghetti noodles topped with perfectly seasoned, tender meatballs and a generous helping of our house-made Amatriciana sauce. Each bite will have you feeling like you’re in a little Italian trattoria in the hills overlooking the Bay of Naples.
Oh, and it’s not just us who think this dish is top-notch. Plenty of folks have raved about it, and we’d go as far as to say it’s the best pasta near SMU and when you search on “pasta near me” probably the best that comes up on your search. It’s the kind of pasta you’ll keep coming back for, whether it’s your first time or your 50th.

Coming in at number two is our creamy, dreamy Fettuccine Alfredo. This one’s a fan favorite, and for good reason! We start with our perfectly cooked fettuccine and smother it in a velvety Alfredo sauce made from rich cream, butter, and just the right amount of Parmesan. It’s simple, it’s indulgent, and it’s exactly what you need when you’re in the mood for some comfort food.
Pro tip: Pair this with a glass of white wine from Olivella’s Pizza and Wine’s sommelier-curated menu. The combination is nothing short of magical, and it’ll make you feel like you’ve been transported straight to Italy. If you’re looking for “Italian near me” and craving that creamy pasta goodness, this one’s for you! And if you come on Tuesday night, wine bottles are half off; it’s our famous wine special! Or how about this little maneuver: pair our fettuccine alfredo with our $3 mimosas for a pasta brunch on Saturday and Sunday till 3pm? So, when you search on brunch near me, you’re not just getting our Italian brunch menu, you can mix our brunch offering with your pasta!
Ah, Lasagna. Our lasagna is like a warm hug on a plate. With layers of tender pasta sheets, savory vodka sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, and veal, our lasagna is nothing short of epic. Each bite brings you a comforting mix of flavors that’ll make you feel like you’re enjoying a home-cooked meal straight out of Nonna’s kitchen.

If you haven’t tried Strozzapreti before, you’re in for a treat. This pasta is a bit of an unsung hero in the pasta world, but it’s definitely a star here at Olivella’s Pizza and Wine. Named after a bit of Italian folklore, “strozzapreti” means “priest strangler” (no strangling happens here, promise!) and is known for its unique, twisted shape that’s perfect for catching our famous vodka sauce.
With a little spice thrown in, the flavors are robust, bold, and exactly what you’d expect from authentic Italian cuisine. If you’re looking for something a little different, this dish is for you. It’s definitely one to add to your pasta bucket list!
Rounding out our list of top five pasta dishes is the Chicken Pesto Linguini. This one’s for all you pesto fans out there! We combine tender grilled chicken with our vibrant, homemade pesto sauce, made from fresh basil, pine nuts, and olive oil. It’s tossed with perfectly cooked linguini and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan for good measure.
This dish is light yet packed with flavor, making it the perfect choice if you’re looking for something hearty but not too heavy. The fresh pesto is an absolute game-changer, and it’s one of the reasons we have so many loyal fans coming back for this dish. If you’re looking for pasta near SMU or searching for “Olivella’s Dallas” online, don’t miss out on this delicious, green delight.
