Osteria il Muro

The Best Restaurants in Denton | Eater Dallas

"This family-owned Italian restaurant, which is inside a remodeled home, serves freshly made pasta, focaccia, and gelato. The menu, which changes daily with a focus on what’s fresh, local, and in-season, has earned raves. A recent pasta saw cavatelli served with savory rabbit and morel mushroom ragu bianco, plus wild onions and peas. Things operate here a lot like the way Italians in small towns run their family restaurants — hidden gems full of farm-fresh fare and handmade bites. It is inside a converted house, and the limited space makes getting a reservation tricky but not impossible (reservations are required, and a new batch is released monthly). It also makes it feel like you’re eating at someone’s house, and in this case, that’s a good thing." - Courtney E. Smith
