"Though the restaurant is a newcomer to the North Loop, Dario’s pastas should be a familiar sight to any fans of Rachel McLeod’s Cornelius Pasta Co. McLeod leads the pasta program at Dario, made fresh every morning in a designated pasta room off the main kitchen. For those devoted to the classics, there’s the fusilli pomodoro, served with meatballs and burrata; or the rigatoni alla vodka, topped with a rubble of breadcrumbs and parmigiano. For something new, order the doppio ravioli, its doubled sides filled with sunchoke and ricotta, their zippered edges catching shards of toasted hazelnut and rosemary." - Julie Yu
