Daniele Osteria, Dallas

Not far from uptown, behind a quaint Mediterranean courtyard is Daniele Osteria , an authentic Italian restaurant that preserves all the distinctiveness, warmth, and flavors of Sicily. A brick wine cellar divides the candlelit dining room, creating a welcoming and romantic atmosphere without losing the Sicilian touch. The variety of typical specialties from the island is best represented here by the fish and the pasta dishes, while cuisines from other regions of Italy are featured monthly. The wine list includes numerous small productions hand selected from several regions by chef/owner Daniele Puleo himself.
