Italian Restaurants in Dallas
The best, authentic Italian restaurants in Dallas! I am a huge pasta fan and these places are top notch!
Ā
Cremona stays taking our money!! The rigatoni italiano is the go-to dish! Pair it wish their Hugo spritz or espresso martini, fresh garlic bread and gnocchi!

Wednesday date night is a great way to try Avanti! You get to taste several courses of delicious food, paired with a bottle of wine.

I wouldnāt necessarily say this is āauthenticā but omg the food is GREAT! I would recommend their spicy rigatoni pasta and anything on their appetizers menu is really good! Noise level is high on busier nights.

Campuzano is a spot that I want to share with the world and keep it secret. This is my husband and Iās favorite Mexican restaurant. The fajitas are top tier, drinks are fantastic and the staff are amazing.

These tacos are to die for and even better yet, they're super cheap! Highly recommend their happy hours! I get the shrimp tacos and sometimes I'll opt for the bowl. GREAT pricing for the amount you get!

This is an elevated mexican restaurant with the prettiest views and a great ambience. I'm a big fan of their shrimp enchiladas and their tacos. Try out their margarita flight!

Casual Dallas Restaurants (for chill vibes)
Not everything in Dallas requires getting dressed up. This list is some of my favorite Dallas spots to hang out in athleisure, chill vibes kinda day, or a casual meet-up with friends. These are also spots my book club has met at!

Truckyard is a GREAT place for group gathering. They have a ton of seating, food trucks, in-house kitchen, and live music. It's a great spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends.

Katy Trail Icehouse has to be one of my favorite spots to bring out of town guests. The outdoor patio (the majority of the restaurant) is so much fun with great vibes. They have TVs EVERYWHERE. Beware: their margaritas are sneaky strong and delicious...

Check out their happy hour deals, they are actually really solid. I love to do a BYOB(urger) which is always delicious. They have great sweet potato fries and their popcorn chicken is addicting.
Village Burger Bar
Ā
Bar W is the neighborhood spot that popped off (as it should). This is a great place to watch football, attend trivia night, catch up with friends or party hard at night. GET THE HONEY PIZZA!!!! Life changing.

This is the cutest restaurant addition to the State and Allen neighborhood. Their drinks are amazing (hit up their happy hour) and I would have to say their burgers are one of the best in Dallas.
Thomas Avenue Beverage Co

#1 burger in Dallas. I'm being so fr. It may look ugly but wow these smashburgers pack a huge punch of flavor. The Maverick is a favorite.

This can be a dressy vibe or casual night, you can make it your own! Although it's known for their drink menu, I have yet to have a bad meal here. The food is amazing!

NADC just opened up a location in Dallas, I got to try it recently and WOW. The fries are by far my favorite and the burger was absolutely delicious! They have a small menu so you know theyāre good at what they do!
