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. |

Try simple but delicious pennette alla trapanese (penne pasta with tomato sauce, basil, olive oil, garlic, and parsley), or opt for something more adventurous, like pan-seared tuna in a kiwi reduction. Each month, a five-course prix fixe menu explores a different region of Italy, complete with wine pairings. |

NORTH DALLAS. Charming and intimate, this Italian restaurant has the look and feel of a neighborhood eatery, thanks to dim lighting, red tablecloths, and exposed brick walls adorned with various interpretations of the "Mona Lisa."

Diners willing to share should consider ordering a wood-fired Neapolitan pizza. |
