About the restaurant

Bruno’s Ristorante has been a fixture in the neighborhood for many years. We’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone from nearby residents to business guests to the Dallas Cowboys (until recently) and those who travel from further away.

Bruno Ceka started this establishment over 25 years ago, and has been actively involved since its beginning. Bruno is an enthusiastic businessman who loves working in and serving the local community. He’s had several business ventures in the area over the years, but his passion has always been here, at Bruno’s. Most days you’ll see him welcoming you in the dining room.

About the restaurant

Chef Ati Malaj has been in the restaurant industry for over 25 years with Ciccio being his fourth restaurant in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
When you eat at Ciccio, you will gracefully taste his carefully crafted choices of ingredients. He is consistently raising the bar with innovated twists on all of his dishes.
Our mission is to have a place with not just extraordinary food, but also one that will make you feel at home, offering the highest standards in quality and service. From the logo to the silverware, every single detail was thought out and it has a why behind it. Talking about our logo, we don’t call it just a logo; we wanted it to tell a story and that’s exactly how it turned out. As simple as it looks, it tells our story.
The word “Ciccio” [pronounced CH EE – ch oh] means “sweetheart/an affectionate way of calling someone you love” in Italian, and that is exactly how he and his family feel about this place and what it represents to them.

About the restaurant

Taverna is a warm and inviting neighborhood restaurant that offers a truly Italian experience without having to leave Texas. Our Italian chefs strive to create the perfect menu using seasonal ingredients for their surprising entrees; every day we present a variety of northern Italian delights from simple comforts such as pan seared sea bass to delicate pasta and fabulous risotto.

Risotto is indeed our flagship dish. We only use Carnaroli rice – the “king of the rice”; thanks to its particular characteristics and firm texture the Carnaroli grain maintains its shape during the slow cooking required for a perfect and creamy risotto. Our broad offering includes truffle oil and Parmigiano risotto, bay scallops with home made pesto and an inspired Vin Santo risotto with asparagus and prosciutto.

A taverna in Italy is a special place where customers become friends and family. Here we celebrate the essence of hospitality and farm-to-table cooking reflecting our authentic Italian style.

About the restaurant

In the heart of historic Oak Street you'll find a charming Italian restaurant named after the Inzolia grape from the island of Sicily. We offer classic and unique pasta dishes beside our award winning brick oven pizza and expansive wine list.

Founded in 2009, we had a desire to bring authentic Italian pizza and pasta to Roanoke, The Unique Dining Capital of Texas, and with Nonna's recipes in hand we did just that. We'd love you to come join us tonight. Don't forget to top the memorable evening off by striking a pose in our free photo booth.

We had a reservation but arrived early for a drink at the bar. Place was very busy but there were a few spots at the bar. The young bartender was very friendly and helpful with us as well as trying to accommodate others who came in for a drink. I did not catch his name but great attitude. Once seated our waitress brought bread with 3 options to dip/spread. Garlic butter with spices was our go to choice but enjoyed the others. Bread/roll was very good. Calamari appetizer was crispy and paired with marinara sauce. Thumps up. Spinach salad with mushrooms and carmelized onions with house dressing was good. Pizza: Italian Meat Lovers plus mushrooms and red opions. Like the crust and overall flavor of the pie but would like the crust to be a little crispier into the middle of the pie. Food: A Service: B+ waitress started strong but had to track her down a few times. Atmosphere: A Overall: A This was our first time tryinging Inzo's and glad we did. Great to see Locally Owned vs a chain. We will be back.

I took our dance group here for a quick Christmas get together and everyone enjoyed it. My husband and I have been coming here for years. It's a cozy, casual place with good service and good food. The menu is varied enough that everyone could find what they wanted, including a few diabetics in our group. Those folks couldn't have the complimentary basket of garlic bread that is wonderful. The stromboli, chicken marsala and chicken aristocrat were big hits. We also like the chicken parmigiana and house tomato vinaigrette on the house salads. The prices have gone up about a little, but the portions are still big enough for two meals on all the entrees. Some day we'll have room for dessert.
