Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Lake Highlands

My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine’s day! This place is a 10/10 the customer service was excellent. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming upon arrival, we had drinks at the bar while we waited for our table ( 10-15 min due to holiday, which we didn’t mind) . The ambiance was amazing, the food was even better!! Travis was our server and he was great and very helpful about the menu. We went with the crowd favorite “Spicy Creste Di Gallo”. Its was sooo good, not too spicy, we demolished our plates. This is what I look for when I pick a restaurant and it was a perfect choice, we will be back!!

We had a fantastic time at Terra. This was our fifth year spending Valentine’s dinner there and the dinner for two never disappoints. Dessert this year was the best yet— a flaky pastry with strawberries, cream, and a strawberry sauce. The beef tartar and skirt steak were unreal. Service was a bit slow this time around but well worth the wait.

Chicken Piccata with Kale Salad with the most delicious I have ever tasted. Tender, crispy, acid was perfectly balanced. Marsala Pasta with mushrooms was divine. The Italian ice cream with cream, pistachios, olive oil and salt was off the charts. Ambience was just perfect. I wish I could blink myself there again. Service was perfect. Great looking guests. Thank you for providing this to Dallas.

This is the Original Momo's Italian Kitchen and we love it. This is our second time to dine here this year. The place smells great when you walk in the door with the kitchen front and center. The owners were there both times we visited and were very friendly and helpful. The food is great and we cannot wait to go back and try some other dishes. The wine menu is very extensive and the staff seems to know how to point you in the right direction. As a beer lover, I found several that I like.

Cooper was our waiter and he was the perfect the combination of knowledgeable and unobtrusive. The food was amazing. Decor and atmosphere were perfect. But the focused service was the highlight. We will be back. Oh. Happy hour is only in the bar for those coming for that. Still worth every penny.
