In the heart of Bishop Arts, this Lucia spin-off is the ultimate haven for cured meats and delightful small plates, all served with a side of vibrant local flair.
"Macellaio, the salumi-focused restaurant from the founders of Lucia that opened in Bishop Arts in 2018, is closing for good on December 31." - Brittanie Shey
"Macellaio, which Eater Dallas named Restaurant of the Year in 2018, also won a grant from the James Beard Foundation, and both restaurants received federal Paycheck Protection Program loans." - Brittanie Shey
"Settle in for salumi, wine, and cheese toast with fluffy soft-scrambled eggs at Macellaio." - ByHilary Cadigan
"Macellaio, Eater Dallas’s 2018 restaurant of the year, became an instant classic thanks to its deeply involved menu of charcuterie offerings, fresh breads, and a dining room that’s a whole lot easier to access than a still-coveted reservation at Lucia. The restaurant features a larger, 55-table space, allowing for easier community access compared to its predecessor Lucia. The salumi program has seen a major expansion with a specialized chamber for cured meats, and the absence of pasta on the menu surprises some diners, but the unique offerings exceed expectations." - Amy McCarthy
"A modern Italian restaurant with a major focus on salumi, offering a rapidly-changing selection of stunning cured meats, killer cocktails, and attentive service. Notable for dishes like tender confit duck tongues served with an onion dip, and a more accessible approach compared to Lucia." - Amy McCarthy
