Congrats to Nana at the Hilton Anatole!

Nana, located on the 27th floor of the Hilton Anatole Hotel, was selected by Nation’s Restaurant News as a 2009 inductee into its prestigious “Fine Dining Hall of Fame.” Nana, one of only ten restaurants in the country awarded, was the only Dallas restaurant honored with the award this year.

In the article from Nation's Restaurant News...

"Executive chef Anthony Bombaci calls his cuisine personal. 'I like to cook what I like to eat,' says the chef, who was raised in Wisconsin and trained at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. He arrived at Nana in 2005 after 10 years at the Enoteca Bombaci in the Hotel Arts in Barcelona, Spain."

The article also quotes Nana’s general manager, Mark LaRocca,“Our staff is exceptional,” he says. “They’ve been there a long time, a few under 15 years but most from 15 to 25 years.”

“Our view is incredible,” LaRocca says. “We do a lot of anniversaries and birthdays.”
