"Upstairs at Eater Award winner Via Triozzi on Greenville Avenue sits a rooftop patio with sweeping views into Downtown and Uptown. The vibe of the place is inspired by the Italian coast, with citrusy orange and yellow hues everywhere. There are cabanas available by reservation, and a menu from executive chef Sonia Mancillas of antipasti, such as marinated olives, misto di mare, prosciutto e melone, and carne crudo. There are also multiple spritz options, a Terrazza cooler (vodka, lime, orgeat, and cherry), and other light, summery drinks." - Courtney E. Smith
"When dessert time comes around at Via Triozzi, order the Cannolo Sbagliato, which is a sort of deconstructed cannoli. It’s made using pizzelle (Italian wafer cookies) with cannoli cream between, candied orange peel, cacao nibs, and crushed pistachio. It’s one of the more modern dishes on the menu, but its old-school, familiar flavors are right at home in the cozy, dim dining room that’s decorated with family heirlooms from owner Leigh Hutchinson." - Courtney E. Smith
"An Italian restaurant added a new rooftop this April, creating a high-profile outdoor dining option that was one of the month's most talked-about new openings in Dallas." - Courtney E. Smith
"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
"There are loads of Tuscan and Sicilian influences on this menu, but one must-order is the lasagne al forno, with its layers and layers on layers. Diners can also treat themselves to an order of mozzarella del giorno which is pulled fresh in-house, and a glass of house natural wine that comes right out of a spigot at the bar. Take a moment to examine the trinkets and photos all around, they’re family memorabilia belonging to the owner." - Courtney E. Smith
