Your Guide to Dallas Dining
Fachini Dallas If you’re looking for classic Italian food, Fachini is the place to go. It may be a newer restaurant in the Dallas scene, but it has quickly made a name for itself as a must-try dining establishment. Classics include Veal Parmesan and Rigatoni alla Vodka, or you can try a house specialty like the tasty 100 Layer Lasagna alla Sunday. No matter what – don’t forget to grab a tasty dessert like the Tiramisu. Commissary Commissary is your one-stop-shop for anything you’re looking for in a neighborhood deli, bakery, gelateria and espresso bar. Located in the heart of downtown Dallas, this is your stop for a quick breakfast sandwich before taking a walk around the city. Our favorite offerings are the at-home chef kits where you’re able to easily pick up everything you need for a family meal, complete with heating and cooking instructions. Town Hearth Whether you want to celebrate a special occasion or are just looking for a fun night out, Town Hearth offers a swanky dining experience. There is stunning décor inside the restaurant, including 500 chandeliers, a yellow submarine in a fish tank and even a $75,000 Ducati. And the food is something you’ll be sure to talk about for long after you leave – as a steakhouse, we can’t ignore that the prime steak cuts are some of the best features on the menu. Rafa’s Cafe Mexicano We can’t create a Dallas dining guide without including a traditional Tex-Mex restaurant! Rafa’s Cafe Mexicano has been around for over 40 years and is a standout in a city filled with Tex-Mex cuisine. While you can’t go wrong with anything you choose on the menu, we are fans of the Chile Rellenos and Chicken Enchiladas. TJ’s Seafood Market TJ’s Fresh Seafood Market & Catering is Dallas’ trusted source for freshest seafood. There are two restaurant locations for you to choose from: Preston Royal or HP/Oak Lawn. Seasonal seafood is featured at both locations, from a casual lunch to a special occasion celebration. The Rhode Island Style Calamari is a great appetizer to start your meal, and TJ’s Fish Tacos are a customer favorite.
