One of Dallas’ most underrated restaurants, Mille Lire occupies an opulent corner of the Oak Lawn neighborhood, with a spectacularly designed dining room, but still manages not to get the attention it deserves. The biggest headline it’s garnered so far hasn’t been for chef Giuliano Matarese’s generally superb Italian food and wonderful house-made pastas, but […]

Just across the street from the American Airlines Center, this family-owned spot has great pasta, pizza, salads and bread (do NOT sleep on the focaccia) along with a big bar for any pre-concert or game nourishment. Heck, we’d go here without tickets to an event.
This lovely space just across from Klyde Warren Park is the work of Miriam Jimenez, a chef who creates Mexican cuisine, as well as some dishes from her native Dominican Republic.

This pizzeria is original from Miami, by way of master pizza chef Renato Viola, who was raised in southern Italy and started learning the ways of making pizza at age 11. He moved to Miami under the O1 visa category for his “extraordinary artistic ability.” Hence the name. The salads are served in large bowls […]
Downtown’s glamorous gold-themed bar can be a place for a big, romantic night out, or it can be a quick place to crash after a show. The Mitchell is versatile, and that extends to the enormous liquor selection – including dozens of gins; order a martini and they’ll ask which you want – and the […]
The ‘mochinut’ concept originates in Hawaii and, as its name implies, blends the traditional Japanese mochi snacks into the coveted American doughnut. Mochi, a common delicacy from Japan is made with stretchy rice flour and is known for its gratifying texture, giving a nice elastic rebound when bitten into. Deep-fried to a golden brown color, […]

Modest Rogers Kitchen & Bar features a great combination of Venezuelan, Spanish and Mexican cuisine with a Texas flair. The chef behind this concept is Modesto (Mo) Rodriguez, an El Centro alum, who has worked at other well-known Dallas restaurants, Nonna and Carbone’s, as a sous chef. The menu is small, but there are plans […]
For folks trying to watch their waistlines, eating out can be a major PITA – something as innocent-seeming as a salad can easily contain an entire day’s calorie allotment. Colorado-born fast-casual chain Modmarket, which bills itself as a “farm fresh eatery,” is refreshingly upfront about the nutritional stats of its food, even going so far […]
