"Dario, the pink-washed North Loop restaurant from Stephen Rowe and chef Joe Rolle, puts fresh pasta at the center of its menu: sunchoke-ricotta doppio and wild mushroom tortellini are in good company with hiramasa crudo, honey-glazed duck breast, and delicate vegetable dishes like gem lettuces with a cacio e pepe vinaigrette. Pasta maven Rachel Cornelius McLeod (also of Cornelius Pasta Co.) makes the tender, supple pasta every morning. Book a table through Resy." - Stacy Brooks
"Dario, the North Loop’s new pasta-focused, pink-washed restaurant, has a stellar cocktail program from Marvel Bar alum Stephen Rowe. These drinks are served unadorned — Rowe forgoes garnishes and citrus rounds in favor of aromatic bitters and spices incorporated directly in the cocktail. Effervescence, bitter finishes, and a range of nonalcoholic, low-proof, and full-proof pours bring the menu together." - Eater Staff
"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
"Dario, the pink-washed new North Loop restaurant from Stephen Rowe and chef Joe Rolle, puts fresh pasta at the center of its menu: Sunchoke-ricotta doppio and squid ink spaghetti are in good company with hiramasa crudo, lamb with sheep’s milk yogurt, and delicate vegetable dishes like grilled hakurei turnips. Pasta maven Rachel Cornelius McLeod (also of Cornelius Pasta Co.) makes the tender, supple pasta every morning." - Justine Jones, Alex Lodner
"Dario, the pink-washed new North Loop restaurant from Stephen Rowe and chef Joe Rolle, puts fresh pasta at the center of its menu: Sunchoke-ricotta doppio and parmesan cappelletti are in good company with hiramasa crudo, brown butter brick chicken, and delicate vegetable dishes like grilled hakurei turnips. Pasta maven Rachel Cornelius McLeod (also of Cornelius Pasta Co.) makes the tender, supple pasta every morning; Rolle is the mind behind the menu, weaving together Italian, Asian, and American influences with a dexterous hand. Rowe, a Marvel bar alum and the architect of Dario’s cocktail program, forgoes garnishes in favor of aromatics and spices. Effervescence, bitter finishes, and a range of nonalcoholic, low-proof, and full-proof pours bring the menu together." - Eater Staff
