The 38 Best Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Lucia consistently garners raves, including a Michelin recommendation and numerous nods from the James Beard Foundation. The nine-table restaurant offers an intimate atmosphere, personable staff, and inventive twists on Italian food that don’t stray too far from the classics (don’t leave without at least one of the seasonal pasta choices). More saliently, chef David Uygur makes a night at Lucia an experience: This tiny spot is one of the toughest reservations to land in town — and it’s absolutely worth putting your name on the waitlist. No luck? There is often a spot available at the bar for parties of one or two. Know before you go: There is no static menu here, meaning the dishes can and do change daily. Be ready to go with the flow." - Courtney E. Smith
