Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Design District

We had a wonderful meal at Stella Cucina last night. The service was excellent, our waitress Erin was exceptional. Very knowledgeable about the menu , had nice suggestions and was so nice . The food was nicely spaced out and we didn’t feel rushed . We shared the PB&J to start which was fresh sliced prosciutto, burata and fig jam . The app was good sized and so delicious. It was definitely better with the house bread than the bread sticks, but that’s just my opinion. I had the spaghetti with shrimp and my husband had the vongole special . Both were delicious. Fresh homemade pasta cooked perfectly, again a good size portion. We shared the tiramisu for dessert which was very light and not too sweet, could have used a few more lady fingers but overall very tasty. The cocktails and wines were lovely as well. The menu is a bit pricey, but I guess every restaurant seems to be pricey these days. Good for a special occasion, which this was my birthday .

This is currently the best restaurant in Dallas. Michelin can suck it

This was a second visit and just as amazing as the first. The service and food were excellent. I highly recommend it for personal or business meetings. Wonderful experience!

Everything was great for my birthday happy hour outing.

The wife and I came in for Restaurant Week. First time. Were looking for something different as were going to eat steak the next night. The 1/2 Rotisserie chicken came recommended. I've never eaten a half a bird in one sitting so I was a little shocked when it was recommended but when the server, Matthew, told us that it sells out, we just had to try it and brother, let me tell you, I have never had a more succulent bird in my life. My wife and I BOTH order the 1/2 chicken and had to pull up from eating it all that night.
