The Spicy Gemelli is my go-to and we split a Caesar salad which turned out to be the perfect appetizer. Get the Italian Sundae for dessert. It sounds weird but trust me, it’s the perfect combination of savory/salty/sweet.

Marsala Pasta with mushrooms was divine. The Italian ice cream with cream, pistachios, olive oil and salt was off the charts. Ambience was just perfect. I wish I could blink myself there again. Service was perfect. Great looking guests. Thank you for providing this to Dallas.
