Our favorite date spot in Dallas, we go there for almost every special occasion. Jenn and David make fabulous Italian food. Call ahead to reserve, it's a small restaurant and usually quite busy. Insider's tip: they have 4 unreserved bar seats that you might be able to snag if you swing by unannounced, always worth a try with so many other great backups in the neighborhood. Tell Jenn that Brian and Shirelle said hi!
