Italians’ answer to Baskin-Robbins, Paciugo’s got waaaay more than 31 flavors. This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 […]

Pakpao brings a little culture to the Design District, where the cuisine of Thailand is presented with bold and spicy flavors. The restaurant takes no reservations, but turns tables relatively quickly, while a small bar area provides beer and cocktails for those who are waiting. When you do get your seat, order aggressively. Many of […]
Originally opened in New York City in 1926 by Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi (and still owned by their descendents), the Palm brand has taken root from Los Angeles to San Juan. The Dallas branch is smack dab in the West End. The house specialty is the Nova Scotia lobster available up to six pounds. […]
This plush bistro is a survivor from the days when the Crescent Court was the It Location. And it has weathered very well: steady service, strong drinks and a menu that sometimes shows signs of chain-age (it is, in fact, part of a Seattle-based restaurant chain), but most times ranks with the city’s top destinations. […]

Paparazzi Pizza’s location is anything but glitzy, cozied up to a dry cleaner shop in a Carrollton strip mall, but the menu is more adventurous than you’d expect from a neighborhood pizzeria. Of course, it has all the usual suspects like pepperoni-topped pies, calzones and sub sandwiches, but the real standouts here are the Mediterranean […]
Like all Pappadeaux locations in the family-owned Pappa’s chain, this one serves swimming-yesterday fare. There’s a little of everything under the sea – clams, oysters, shrimp, catfish. Steak and chicken are included to round out the kitchen’s offerings. The fresh-food philosophy extends to the tartar sauce, which is made from the house mayonnaise. As is […]
Ask anyone who’s lived in Dallas long enough and they’ll gush about the service at Pappas Brothers. The old-school steakhouse has been a Dallas fixture for more than 30 years, harkening an era when fine dining meant a trip to restaurant row. The setting has changed some, and now strip clubs outnumber fine dining restaurants […]
There has to be a reason to brave these lines–even on a particularly crummy Saturday afternoon–and it’s the fajita plates, big enough to choke a Chihuahua. Beef fajitas, perfectly tender (not tenderized) and abundantly spiced, are the best we’ve tried in Dallas. Another standout is the chicken fajitas and quail (served together), the latter of […]

Stepping inside Parliament is like traveling back in time to the barrooms and clubs of the early 1900s. With one of the best happy hours in town, Parliament sports a sophisticated selection of craft cocktails, like the Ramos Gin Fizz and over 100 others. Nestled in the State Thomas Historical District, this Uptown spot is […]
It’s hard to argue with the Neapolitan pizza-making prowess of Dino Santonicola, the Naples-born chef who opened Partenope after years at the popular Cane Rosso chain. His pizza crusts have a sourdough-type flavor, which underpins any combination of toppings. But Partenope is a well-rounded Italian restaurant that also has terrific made-from-scratch pastas, unusually interesting salads […]

There is a good bit of history preserved in Denton’s upper-room Paschall Bar. The five members of the band Midlake, who own the Paschall, have a penchant for Denton history. The place is named after the building’s original builder and owner B.F. Paschall, who’s pictured in a photograph on display as you traverse the stairwell […]

These include fried calamari with basil aioli as well as the chicken and mushroom lasagna with Romano and mozzarella in smoked gouda cream sauce. Did we mention cappuccino pie? It would be a mistake not to. Traditional […]
