Arcodoro & Pomodoro
Address: 100 Crescent Court, Dallas, TX 75201 (Map)
Described as “the only true Sardinian Ristorante in the United States” by food writer John Mariani, the combined establishments of Arcodoro and Pomodoro recreate the island of Sardinia, Italy, in Texas. Brothers Elfisio and Francesco Farris share their heritage through the cuisine and culture brought forth in this split restaurant. Arcodoro is a room with a casual atmosphere, for those looking for a place to share a wood fired pizza on the patio, and Pomodoro is more formal, with white tablecloths and candles. Whichever you choose, the menu options are the same in both sections, and include dishes like handmade semolina dumplings with ragu of lamb, and half moon pasta stuffed with veal and mild imported cheeses.

Nana
Address: 2201 Stemmons Fwy., Dallas, TX 75207 (Map)
Located on the 27th floor of the Hilton Anatole, Nana is surrounded by panoramic views of Dallas. But the views are far from the only draw. Guests flock to the elegant, Asian-inspired dining room to sample the creations of Chef Anthony Bombaci, whose tantalizing menu is captivating and unique. Bombaci’s dishes look like sculptures on a plate, each a study in vibrant color, complementing texture, and playful forms. A Filet of Prime Beef is accented by the vibrant greens and oranges of slivered roasted carrots, delicate microgreens,and a lush sweet potato puree. A playful “Liquid Baked Potato Soup” features sour cream foam, potato chip “salt” and chive oil. The food alone is worth a visit, but the excellent service, outstanding wine list, and live jazz music make an evening at Nana absolutely exquisite.
