Best Restaurants to Road Trip to From 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." - Courtney E. Smith
