The 38 Best Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"After opening in 2023, Via Triozzi quickly became arguably the best Italian restaurant in Dallas. The must-try menu item is the lasagne al forno, with layers on layers of noodles, rich Bolognese sauce, and cheese. If it’s a splurge-y moment, order the bistecca alla Fiorentina — a Florentine breed of cow served in traditional style with a stick of rosemary, olive oil, and salt — and that’s it. This spot has one of the biggest natural wine programs in the city, with all options specially sourced from small vineyards that are, in many cases, family- or woman-owned, including the house wine served on tap. Via Triozzi’s owner, Leigh Hutchins, will open a rooftop version of the restaurant this spring, with some menu items from the kitchen and bar offerings. Vibe check: This is not a scene-y place, but a family place. Although the dining room might be dim, it isn’t exactly romantic — more homey. Sit at the bar to chat it up with regulars. You’re unlikely to run into influencers or the see-and-be-seen crowd here." - Courtney E. Smith
