The 38 Best Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Restaurateur Dain “Adam” Jones and chef Blaine Staniford make a damn good pair. Their latest endeavor is an Italian restaurant that weaves together the threads of Italian and West Texas cooking: Wild game, simple ingredients, and eating adventurously from a menu that sometimes includes unexpected combinations of Texan and Italian ingredients; the wine menu is smartly curated to mostly feature Italian bottles. The restaurant’s moody dining room looks out into a park across the street, while the buildings of Downtown Fort Worth loom all around. A back wall features large-scale art created by artist Joey Lancaster, who also happens to be Jones’s wife. It landed a Best New Restaurant nod in the 2024 Eater Awards. Know before you go: The dining room is great for large parties, but groups of two and solo diners are better off grabbing a table or a stool in the bar, which has a very different, more relaxed atmosphere." - Courtney E.
