Dallas Italian cooking is anchored by chef-owned rooms that make their own pasta daily. Lucia in Bishop Arts, from chef David Uygur, hand-cures every salumi and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, while Gemma on Knox-Henderson earns its own Bib Gourmand alongside James Beard recognition for hospitality. Nonna in Highland Park runs a wood-burning oven for some of the city's best pizza, and il Bracco at The Plaza at Preston Center keeps a devoted Park Cities crowd with hand-rolled cacio e pepe bucatini.
