Cremona's is tucked away between the Uptown and Turtle Creek areas. It is a favorite spot for authentic Italian recipes. Candles lit on the red-checkered tablecloths of the quaint dining room add a warm touch—the restaurant is both intimate enough for couples, and large enough for families and groups. Live music is featured Thursday through Saturday, and is sure to make your experience here a memorable one. Cremona's Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Manicotti are all excellent entree choices, prepared from traditional Italian recipes.
Snuggled in a charming building on West Eighth Street whose history dates back to the 1920s, Lucia offers a nostalgic dining experience to all of its patrons. Opened by chef David Uygur and his wife Jennifer in 2012, the cozy eatery has slowly established itself as a gastronomic mainstay of Dallas' vibrant Bishop Arts District. Lucia prides itself on serving authentic Italian cuisine and takes immense pleasure in tantalizing taste buds with the help of specialties like the Salumi Misti, Gnocchi Alla Romana with hedgehogs, and Red Wattle pork shoulder with mashed favas.
Welcome to Nonna, a great little place serving fine Italian cuisine in Dallas. Located on Lemmon, the place always seems to be crowded with locals thronging to this place. Not just the crowd, but the dining space itself is limited so it appears a bit crammed up. The menu is just one page, but changes daily and includes a selection of salads, traditional pizzas, pastas, and entrees. Try the house made lamb sausage with fava beans and Spaghetti Carbonara. Nonna also has a bar which is visible as you enter the place serving some fine Italian wines. What makes this place a favorite is the generous servings of entrees and pizzas prepared in wood ovens, liberally covered with Paula Lambert's homemade mozzarella.
A restaurant from which patrons expect nothing but the very best, Ferrari's Italian Villa is the place to head to for truly scrumptious Italian fare. No matter which dish you choose, you can be sure it will be prepared in a delicious, traditionally Italian sauce that will give it a wonderful flavor. PEI mussels in spicy tomato sauce and flash-fried calamari are the perfect way to begin your Italian meal. The pan-seared salmon, sautéed chicken breast with prosciutto and sage and filet mignon with red wine peppercorn sauce that follow manage to exceed your expectations. You can complement your meal with something from the extensive wine list.
