Chef Tiffany Derry is expanding her culinary reach across North Texas with a new location for her Italian food concept, Radici.

Derry's first restaurant, Roots Southern Table, opened in 2021, is an ode to Southern fare based on the meals she grew up eating at home. The two-time James Beard-nominated chef and Top Chef alum opened Radici next door to Roots in Farmers Branch in May 2024. The Italian restaurant was one of Texas Monthly's Best New Restaurants for 2025.

This second restaurant will be inside EpicCentral in Grand Prairie, between Interstates 20 and 30, along the President George Bush Turnpike. The entertainment complex is anchored around pickleball courts. It has a small lake on one side and several restaurants, including Vidorra and Finch.

The culinary vision behind Radici, which means roots, is based on Derry's early career cooking in Italian kitchens and her extensive travels through Italy. Pastas are made in-house daily, and the open kitchen is centered on a wood-fired grill. It is lovely, as we discussed in this review, "At Radici, Chef Tiffany Derry's Ambition Knows No Bounds."

Floor-to-ceiling windows and rich burgundy hues frame the space. Derry's business partner Tom Foley contributed some art to the space, inspired by his mother's roots in Balvana, Italy.

This restaurant will open on April 15.
