Food is one thing that connects us Texans in a good ol' Southern way! We might not consider DFW Metroplex as the center point for Italian food as Tacos and Barbeque and Steak houses are the top menus that strike us when we hear of the city. But Dallas is also very very diverse in its culture, especially when it comes to food. You can easily get really appetizing pasta dishes and traditional Italian dishes with eclectic Italian ambience to make it a perfect Italian dining experience.

If you are craving an Italian dish, at least one ristorante from our list is for sure going to satisfy your taste buds! And you also support your very own local small business owners. We love supporting small businesses and when it comes to dining, they can be better than large chain restaurants. Well, buy a treat for yourself, while also buying a treat for the local business owners! A bonus, these restaurants are not very known but absolutely should! Local restaurants have had enough hit from COVID and now the SNOVID, making it all the more necessary that we help our local business owners.
Note: This is a list of our top 3 Italian restaurants, not pizzerias! So read on..
