• Italian • Downtown
Booked 14 times today
Urban Italia is rooted in the spirit of the Italian immigrants who came to America, mostly to New York, in search of a better life. With memories of home and limited means, they recreated the dishes they loved using what they could find. Meat became more plentiful, tomatoes were canned, and garlic was used with fearless abandon. From this came the bold, comforting flavors we now call Italian American cuisine.We call it Italia Merica, a genre of its own.It is where red sauce meets red blooded ambition. Where spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Parm, and baked ziti are not just food, they are cultural icons. It is grandma’s kitchen, turned up.At Urban Italia, Chef Carla Pellegrino brings this history to life, blending Old World technique with New World swagger. Think hand tossed pizzas from our wood oven, house made pastas, massive meatballs, crisp arugula salads, and indulgent desserts. Nostalgic yet refined. Familiar yet elevated. This is food with soul, heritage, and bold flavor.

    My second time dining there, my first time attending Happy Hour, and I loved it! The drinks, the food, the ambiance, the music was on point. Just overall a chill vibe. Will most definitely be back. Our waiter JC was very attentive, and helpful with our drink selections.

    The decor was evocative of Paris, with wrought iron details on the frame of the structure of the glassed in patio. The wait staff was attentive without hovering, available for ordering and answering questioned with his detailed knowledge of the menu. The food was very well prepared, flavorful and very fresh. I live out of state and will definitely go there next time I am in Dallas.
