The Palm
(Restaurants - Italian)
701 Ross Ave, Dallas  75202 • 214-698-0470
Distance: ~0.38 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. The legend lives on in Dallas's version of the famous New York Palm Restaurant. This family-run Italian steakhouse prepares generous portions of tender USDA Prime aged steak, jumbo Nova Scotia lobster, and traditional Italian fare. Menu items like veal marsala, veal piccata, New York strip, and prime rib of beef are all worthy options. Favored by business executives and players from the Mavericks and Cowboys, The Palm offers a casual yet refined atmosphere. The decor is unique: walls adorned with hundreds of caricatures of the rich, famous, and well-loved who've patronized the restaurant over the years.

Arcodoro & Pomodoro
(Restaurants - Italian)
100 Crescent Ct, Ste 140, Dallas  75201 • 214-871-1924
Distance: ~0.58 mi *
        Description: UPTOWN. The happy marriage of Arcodoro and Pomodoro doubly highlights Sardinia's rustic cuisine and character. As far as the neighborhood is concerned, the union is a blessed one. Two distinct experiences await: Arcodoro is the casual partner, praised for wood-fired pizzas and al fresco seating while Pomodoro offers more formal environs. Although homestyle pastas are always a good bet, don't overlook dishes like broiled lobster with vegetable ravioli, brandy sauce, and Sardinian caviar.

Taverna Pizzeria and Risotteria
(Restaurants - Italian)
3210 Armstrong Ave, Dallas  75205 • 214-520-9933
Distance: ~2.58 mi *
        Description: KNOX-HENDERSON. Lively and energetic, this Italian eatery is often packed with customers eager for thin, crisp-crust pizzas and mouthwatering risottos. Ten classic and specialty pizzas tempt diners, ranging from a traditional Margherita (tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil) to the Mezzanotte (eggs, roasted potatoes, pancetta, and mozzarella). Taverna uses carnaroli rice rather than arborio in its famed risottos, preferring the firmness of the grain. Don't miss risotto con salsiccia, enlivened with boar sausage, mushrooms, and cranberries.
