Mi Piaci

Mi Piaci is so old-fashioned it still offers logo-bearing matchbooks -- and a bar in which to use them. Classic Italian dishes that have kept the upscale restaurant, a North Dallas staple, busy for more than 20 years. The handmade pastas pairs beautifully with a traditional Bolognese, but fresh pizza dough may be the winner in the carb category: Try the crackly vongole pie, topped with gaping clams.
