"Macellaio, Eater Dallas’s 2018 restaurant of the year, became an instant classic thanks to its deeply involved menu of charcuterie offerings, fresh breads, and a dining room that’s a whole lot easier to access than a still-coveted reservation at Lucia. The restaurant features a larger, 55-table space, allowing for easier community access compared to its predecessor Lucia. The salumi program has seen a major expansion with a specialized chamber for cured meats, and the absence of pasta on the menu surprises some diners, but the unique offerings exceed expectations." - Amy McCarthy
