Coastal Mediterranean fare in a beautiful courtyard space
"There’s a see-and-be-seen element to Paradiso. But behind the bride-to-be sashes and camera flashes is a stunning dining room full of green plants, along with a garden-like front patio. We like to start with the beets tossed in a not-too-sweet cardamom labneh and the spicy soppressata pizza drizzled with honey, followed by a bowl of pasta—mafalde wading in a white bologna or the roasted butternut squash mixed with dapper creste di gallo and spiced pumpkin seeds. The vibes here are more “fun night out” than formal, and the crowd can get (pleasantly) rambunctious, so embrace the scene and order another glass of wine." - kevin gray

"Whether for brunch or date night, Paradiso in Bishop Arts has become a magnet for outdoor celebrations. The Mediterranean-style garden party courtyard setting, with twinkle lights and greenery, makes it feel like an oasis. Stay on-brand and sip on the Light of Pink, a tequila cocktail made for golden hour." - Rachel Pinn, Courtney E. Smith
"Located in Dallas’s Bishop Arts district, Paradiso is described as one of the city’s most Instagrammed restaurants and is where Preston Paine previously served as chef before taking over the Crescent Hotel kitchens." - Courtney E. Smith
"After a big makeover earlier this year and a new chef takes over in the kitchen, it’s time to drop back in on Paradiso. All the great dinner and brunch dishes are still available, but the move these days may be to go there for lunch. The turkey melt, embellished with pickled peppers and avocado spread in addition to the traditional ingredients, is such a hit that it can’t come off the menu." - Courtney E. Smith
