Via Triozzi

There’s a common refrain that, for all its talent, Dallas doesn’t have many real Italian restaurants. Via Triozzi aims to change our minds by checking a lot of requisite Italian boxes: an exquisite lasagna, daily house-made pasta and several other well-executed Italian basics. Naturally, there’s an impressive, red-heavy wine selection and a full bar with […]

Vickery Park

Considering its location in the upscale Knox-Henderson area, Vickery Park is refreshingly unpretentious. Whether you hang out on the well-worn porch, watch a game on one of several big screens in the main room, belly up to the spacious bar or settle into one of the couches in the lounge area, you’ll feel at home. […]

Victor Tangos

Since 2008, this sleek Henderson Avenue restaurant has been a spot for the young social set to show off some new threads, throw back specialty cocktails and sip on craft beer. The food is all over the map, but it’s good, leaning on Asian, Middle Eastern, Spanish and American flavors. Picture a hunk of celery […]

Victory Tavern

A staple of Victory Park, Victory Tavern is the moderate- to high-priced bar and grill that fills up on game and concert nights and empties out when the downtown entertainment district does. The bar, a huge rectangle in the middle of room, is covered in warm cherry wood, as is the ceiling and the walls. […]

Villa-O

Longtime Dallas restaurateur Robert Colombo (the successful Trece Mexican restaurant across the street and The Club in The Centrum) has assembled an organic “pasteria” featuring house-made pasta from organic semolina, organic vegetables, organic wood-fired chicken, and table water and sparkling waters produced with an in-house filtration and gasification system. The pastas are near perfect, the […]

Village Baking Co.

Baking demigod Clint Cooper had been making bread for local restaurants, hotels and grocery outlets for nearly a decade before he opened up this retail outlet, churning out baguettes, kouign amman, brioche, croissants and specialty loaves so good they’d tempt an angel to gluttony. So, obviously, we never stood a chance. We’re not saying we’re […]

Village Burger Bar

Is it a bar or a counter-service burger joint? Village Burger Bar–a brightly lit, sleek, crisp and minimally decorated spot nestled in an enormous glorified strip mall called the West Village–is both. Along with decent burgers that come with regular or sweet-potato French fries, the bar offers premium liquors and a small but interesting selection […]

Vino 100

This wine bar might come across as classy, but with 100 bottles at $25 or less, it’s an affordable and welcoming wine bar. Sure, there are selections well over the $25 mark on the Captain’s Wall, but the overall feel is one absent of pretense. That’s what co-owner Clint Brookshire and company have been going […]

Virgin Hotels Dallas

Virgin Hotels has been expanding its footprint, setting up shop in Nashville, New York and Las Vegas, with other locations slated for New Orleans, Edinburgh, Scotland, Miami and Palm Springs. But, the hotel chain didn’t make Dallas wait. Late 2019 marked the grand opening of Virgin’s hotel in the Big D. The place helped ring […]
