Radici Wood-Fired Grill

Chef Tiffany Derry is the kind of talent who makes whatever she touches better, and when she turned her attention to Italian cuisine — her first professional love — the result was Radici, which Texas Monthly promptly named Best New Restaurant in 2025. Italian was the first cuisine she cooked professionally, and that depth of experience shows in every dish: this isn't Italian food filtered through trends, it's Italian food built on a foundation of genuine understanding and then set on fire. Literally. The wood-fired grill is the centerpiece.

The open kitchen design lets you watch the magic happen, and the six-seat chef's table overlooking the action is the best dinner theater in Dallas. The lobster ravioli with white bolognese is the kind of dish that ruins other lobster ravioli for you permanently. The Modena-style lasagna with sage spinach pasta defies everything you thought lasagna could be. And Pasta Hour — Tuesday through Friday, 5 to 6 PM, three courses for thirty dollars — is the kind of deal that makes you rearrange your entire work schedule and feel good about the decision.
