Reviews
We kicked things off with the fritto misto — a perfect mix of tempura shrimp, calamari, and fennel. Crispy, light, and SO good. I have a dairy allergy, and John was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, making excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was accommodated without issue, which I really appreciated.
For entrées, I had the chicken cacciatore, which was hearty, flavorful, and comforting in the best way. I also ordered gluten-free penne pasta on the side, which unfortunately was not very good and came out a bit mushy — the only miss of the night. My friend ordered a custom pasta with vodka sauce, mafalde pasta, and chicken Parmesan meatballs — it looked amazing and she loved it.
Dessert was a whole experience on its own thanks to the in-house bakery. My friend sampled a few gelatos and creams, and chose espresso cream to fill her pistachio chocolate cannoli (an elite choice). I grabbed several tarallucci cookies to take home — at only $1 each, it was impossible to resist.
Fantastic food, attentive and accommodating service, and thoughtful details throughout. Huge shoutout to John for making the night even better. We’ll definitely be back!
Quick take: Solid concept. Mixed execution. Potential is there — but they need to tighten operations.
What Worked
• Lunch pricing: Strong value. The lunch menu is competitively priced for Dallas and makes it approachable.
• Bruschetta: Standout item. Fresh, balanced, and well-executed. If you go, order this. No debate.
What Missed
• Food timing: Our food came out late with no clear explanation. Not catastrophic — but noticeable. In Dallas, especially at lunch, speed matters.
• Tony’s Meatball: Surprisingly bland. For a place that positions itself around bold Sicilian flavors, this should be a signature punch. It didn’t deliver.
• Bakery service: Slow and a bit disorganized. Energy felt more “figuring it out” than polished.
Overall Assessment
Feels like soft opening growing pains — kitchen timing and front-of-house coordination need tightening. The bones are good. The concept is strong. But execution needs sharpening if they want repeat lunch traffic.
Would I go back? Yes — but I’d stick to the bruschetta and give them a little time to smooth things out.
If you’ve been — did you experience the same timing issues, or did we just catch them on an off day?
The spicy arrabiata meatball was our favorite and we got the happy hour bottle & board for $19 which was a great deal!! The board was great as well – the caprese was great!!
We also got some desserts from their mini market. You can see they do the traditional feast of the seven fishes during Christmas.
We will be back!
That being said, our meal at TSB was the
BEST MEAL OF ANY CUISINE IVE HAD IN YEARS.
I got to taste flavors and combinations, I as a foodie, have never tasted before. The meal was exciting and evoked emotion. Our server Roberto was so knowledgeable about the menu and gave us helpful recommendations as well as top notch service. He even went above and beyond to celebrate our birthday with the most delicious tiramisu I’ve ever had (and normally I absolutely hate tiramisu lol). We will definitely be back and regularly. We live an hour north and the drive and price point is so worth it. Gotta check this place out.
Was greeted and seated right away by the host. Server, Christopher, immediately came and welcomed us and explained the menu and gave awesome recommendations (which we ordered). Surprisingly, the menu was not too overwhelming loaded with options like other places.
Apps ordered was the garlic bread which was light, airy, and fluffy, good toast on the outside with thin shaved cheese and side of butter. Had a great garlic, herb, cheese flavor, very addicting! 2nd app, Fritto Misto, fried calamari, shrimp, and fennel. It was lightly breaded with slight salty flavor not heavily greasy and with a spritz of lemon was a good combo with the light marinara dipping sauce. Only some of the calamari rings were a tad rubbery/over cooked but majority were fine. Our favorite entree that Christopher recommended was the Cannelloni, the flavors were amazing and the cream sauce with a splash of this (what I would describe) splash of Italian chili (almost reminded me of a great Italian version of an enchilada), stuffed with spinach with cream, meat mix. It was something we’ve never had before and was one of the best dishes we tasted. For dessert you definitely cannot miss their Gelato (Salted Caramel & Hazelnut Crunch were a great not too sweet treat) creamy and crunch textures, and baked goods were just as yummy, we didn’t get any cannollis this go round but we will definitely be back to try their other dishes!!
