Lucia is the Heart of Italian in Dallas

Bishop Arts screams Lucia which has beckoned food lovers with its promise of handmade pasta and an extraordinary salumi selection.

While the menu at Lucia changes with the seasons—offering dishes like gnocchi with cabbage and crispy yeast or a refreshing salad of ripe pears and chicory drizzled with cheese—one thing remains steadfast: the salumi plate.

An Afternoon at The Grape with Some of Dallas’s Greatest Chefs

(l to r) Brian Luscher, Ewald Scholz, Karl Kuby

I’ll start with this: I genuinely love what I do. On any given day I get to eat and drink and talk about food with people who have given their lives to it.
