Italian
Gordo's
Gordo's is a North Dallas institution, founded in 1952 by Gordon West, a Pearl Harbor survivor. Serving American and Italian food - especially comfort food like pizza and pasta - Gordo's is a great destination for lunch, dinner or, of course, happy hour!
Cremona Ristorante
Cremona Ristorante is true red, white and green Italian. From their gnocchi to their lasagna, pair anything they've got with a glass of red wine, and you've got yourself a great meal.
Amore Italian Restaurant
Amore, owned and operated by the fine folks who bring you Peggy Sues BBQ, is an Italian Restaurant in University Park. They don't have much in the way of happy hour specials, but they do offer $2 house wines by the glass from 11am-4pm everyday.
Fedora
We think of Fedora as Downtown Dallas's dedication to the Godfather films. Hollywood meets Italy in food, decor and atmosphere. Their happy hour features pizza and fantastic drink specials, especially given their exclusive One Arts Plaza location.
Eno's Pizza
Eno's Pizza is one of our favorite places in the Bishop Arts District. They have an indoor patio (seriously!) and we recommend grabbing a glass of New York State Reisling at one of their indoor picnic tables.
