Vapiano's interior looks like a NASA artist's rendering of what a pizza place should look like on the moon. Bright, clean light and modernist, spacious design comingle with live herbs and pizza trees. The menu features thin-crust pizzas cut laser-thin without using a pizza-laser. Treasure this crispness with a pizza salsiccia, tackled by spicy Sicilian pepperoni and savoy cabbage ($10), or a crudo with prosciutto and parmesan ($10). Each pasta dish contains everything your body needs to survive if you floated out of the comforts of Earth's atmosphere. Try the filetto di manzo with beef filet, fresh veggies, mushrooms, and arugula ($11) or the tacchino piccante, with chicken, chili sauce, bok choy, and bell pepper ($10).
Bella is a restaurant that has a neighborhood feel to it, yet with a chic modern atmosphere that expresses personal touch.
Cafe Izmir's homestyle Mediterranean menu, derived from a recipe book penned by the owners’ Mama Nazy, flaunts influences from Turkish, Lebanese, and Persian cuisines. Tapas-style plates engender feelings of sharing with citrus-spiked tabouleh and warmed eegra, a tomato-speckled dip of grilled baby eggplant. Mama Nazy’s beloved hummus, accented with a pinch of house spice blend, won the accolades of the Dallas Observer, which named it the city’s Best Hummus in 2010. Its garlicky aroma is so pronounced that the café also offers a Date Night hummus, garlic-free for more romantic tableside recitations of the Gettysburg Address. Carnivorous tastes can gravitate toward spice-marinated entrees off the grill, from quail served on honey-champagne couscous to lamb chops accompanied by sweet potatoes.
Cafe Izmir cultivates a warm, intimate environment with dim, crimson lighting offset by scores of dangling icicle lights. Plush booths form a perimeter around tables topped with marigold linens, which echo any sunny accents within paintings on a spotlit wall. On weekends, crisp Spanish guitar notes intermingle with the aromas in the air, and each month the café hosts a new exhibit of local art.
The midday menu equips hungry hands with grabable grub including thick burgers smothered with aged cheddar cheese ($11) and chicken sandwiches stacked with applewood smoked bacon ($11). When the dinner bell rings, an angel gets its stomach, which is ready to be primed with appetizers such as the hummus and pita crisp ($9) and house-made Yukon chips with warm, dipable Maytag blue cheese ($7). From here, the dinner menu expands on backyard favorites like an edible unabridged dictionary to include such plates as the flatiron steak with beer-battered onion rings ($23), barbecue-glazed meatloaf with aged cheddar mash and mushroom jus ($17), and baby-back ribs with herbed cole slaw ($20). If salads and seafood are your forte, fork a classic chopped salad ($8), or net the grilled salmon perched atop a veggie pile ($22).
A fine dining experience like no other. Although it was fully redesigned in 2008, the legend continues.
Burgers seared over an open flame, then doused in house-made pepper sauce. Po boys constructed from white hoagies and neatly sliced turkey and ham. These handheld meals characterize the offerings at Uncle Bo's Hamburgers & Deli, where both cold and hot sandwiches stack all-natural ingredients between chewy bread.
A full one-third pound of meat beefs up each grilled burger, served with fries and available with toppings such as bacon, blue cheese, and chili. Deli sandwiches range from hearty reubens on rye to lighter turkey wraps with sprouts and tomatoes, as well as offerings that set sail on wheat bread or tucked inside of croissants. House-made soups warm bellies to prevent locals from walking around with hot potatoes in their sweatshirts' front pockets, although the eatery also slings spuds loaded with bacon, cheeses, and broccoli.
