Located on the N Dallas Tollway at Trinity Mills Rd, You can spot this one with all of the trees, bushes and shrubs on the roof. 4 locations in the DFW metroplex but almost nation-wide.
These two Damian & Johny know how to set up a place to eat. From Dmain's mom in LA, learning to cook Sicilian from her mother and mother-in-law ~ this is a family place. You can see pictures of them decorating the walls.

We enjoyed the entertainment of observing all the various cooking functions from our vantage point. Watching the muscles cooking process was very interesting as they steamed them, cover the saute pan with another, sprinkled in the herbs, spices and drizzled in the white wine. Not for us.
Even better than Emeral live on the HGTV.
This was like sitting right at his table on his show.
We have let out this secret - but please, and busy Friday eve - please reserve these seats for us - OK?
