Campisi's Downtown is owned and operated by David Campisi and his family. The restaurant has a long and storied history, beginning in 1946 when David's great-grandfather bought a bar with a small kitchen and began making pizzas - the first ever in Dallas. Today, Campisi's Downtown still makes its famous pizza (you can even build your own if you like), and also serves up a huge array of pasta dishes, salads, appetizers and entrées. For dessert, try the tiramisu or Italian cream cake.

His food captures the essence of that history but takes its culinary cues from the kitchens of his childhood, the great talents with whom he worked throughout his early career and incorporates his signature techniques that blend familiar and bold flavors to create the most craveable dishes. We call this Carbone Italian.

    Monarch exceeded every expectation and provided an unforgettable evening as we celebrated the life of my sister, Adrianna. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was breathtaking—the chandelier lounge area was stunning, setting the tone for an elegant and intimate experience. The cocktails were phenomenal; we enjoyed the Champagne, Grapefruit Goddess, and Pretty Reckless, each beautifully crafted and delicious. For dinner, I had the wood-grilled branzino—easily the best I’ve ever had. We also shared the herb ricotta anolini with wood-fired broccolini and the indulgent black truffle risotto. To end the night, the lemon ricotta cake was the perfect, delicate finish. What truly made the evening magical was our server, Chad. His attentiveness and thoughtfulness elevated the experience, ensuring every detail was perfect. The most touching moment was when he presented us with a keepsake in remembrance of Adrianna, a gesture that meant the world to us. Monarch is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place that creates lasting memories. I cannot recommend it enough for those seeking impeccable service, exquisite food, and an atmosphere that makes every occasion feel special.

    My daughter and I ate at Sasseta for the first time last Thursday evening. Our waiter was great- gave us recommendations and the specials with his honest opinion. The ambiance was very nice. Upscale casual is what I would say. Though there were others nearby, & we could hear them, it wasn’t too noisy and she and I had no trouble hearing each other. We started with the Burrata and it was delicious! She had the Rigatoni and I had the Chopped Salad with chicken substituting for the red wine vinegar. All was delicious and prepared in a timely manner. We both highly recommend Sasseta if you are in Dallas.
