Awesome place, tucked away, a neighborhood gem! In the back they serve really fantastic Italian deli sandwiches. Grab wine by the glass up front for $5, or get a whole bottle. Great way to spend a slow afternoon, or just grab a sandwich to go!

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!

If you like any kind of electronic music, this is such a great place to catch a DJ set! We've been all over the world and this is still a favorite. Plenty of room to dance, a fun light-up floor, set in an old roller-disco, bar is sound-proofed so you can still talk to friends. All around fantastic, best night out in Dallas!
