Old School Italian Favorites at Patrizio

A Dallas staple in upscale Highland Park Village, Patrizio is one of those tucked away bistros that you can always rely on. Whether it’s a quaint meal for two or entertaining friends from out of town, this restaurant is consistently affordable, classic and delicious. With a generous patio area and stout bar, you have more than the usual dining room to choose from when finding the perfect place to sit.

Patrizio certainly isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel with its dishes, so you can recognize the names of every dish on the menu and feel confident about your choices. When ordering, you can’t go wrong with the Bruschetta or Crispy Goat Cheese to start; they are ideal for warming up your palate for the main course and pair well with any of the house wines. The Spaghetti and Meatballs is a crowd favorite, as well as the succulent Eggplant Parmesan. These dishes are fresh, filling and easy on the pocketbook. If it’s a cheat day on the diet or an evening to celebrate, there will be no regrets when ordering the Patrizio’s Dessert Platter: mini versions of the Double Chocolate Cake, Warm Bread Pudding, Spumoni Ice Cream Balls and Homeade Biscotti are to die for!
