Never ones to refuse desserts (even when full and satisfied), we decided to order and split Nancy’s Bread Pudding (one of my favorite desserts). This made great leftovers the following day! This was a large portion of pasta, creamy mornay, gruyere, parmesan, garlic and fresh thyme sprinkles – think comfort food 2.0.

I enjoyed every bite! We has also ordered a side of Mac & Cheese (our waiter’s suggestion) and it was also amazing. The chicken was tender, cooked perfectly, and the overall combination of flavors was spot on. This dish consisted of a thin, breaded chicken breast cutlet topped with greens, haricot verts, heirloom tomatoes, olives, capers, cucumber slices, parmesan, and a peppadew vinaigrette. I decided on the Crisp Chicken Paillard for my entree and it was amazing as well.
This dish had house-made pasta, tender meat, local greens, parmesan cheese, and was topped with house-made ricotta. Luckily he is a kind man and shares his food, so I graciously sampled a bite or two (or more!). My husband ordered the Wild Boar Ragout Pappardelle and it was delicious. I hope you will check them out the next time you are in the mood for some authentic Italian fare. My husband and I really enjoyed our visit and I would love to return soon to try their Sunday brunch and Prosecco Bar. They also offer “Pranzo Veloce” (quick lunch) specials Tuesday thru Friday and a Prosecco Brunch with a Live DJ on Sundays. This new restaurant of his just received the 2018 Open Table Diner’s Choice Award, so they must be doing something right! Mille Lire is not open just for dinner hours. He was born and raised in Napoli and has over 20 years experience at top-notch restaurants, including in NYC. Giuliana Matarese is the owner and executive chef of Mille Lire. More, please!Īt one point during our dinner, I saw the chef come out from the open kitchen and talk to a few patrons. I would have licked the saucer clean if it would not have embarrassed my husband! The slice of cheesecake was creamy and smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness versus tartness. At this point, I really, really wished I had not agreed to share. This was authentic Italian cooking at its best – simple and flavorful.ĭessert might have been my favorite part of the meal…no surprise there! My husband and I shared a piece of Ricotta & Amaretto Cheesecake topped with wild cherries. The pappardelle was also al dente and was served with a bold sauce of dry-aged beef bolognese, tomatoes, and fresh grated parmesan. This dish was rich, creamy, and delicious and made for some great leftovers. The fettuccine dish was served al dente with pecorino cheese, pancetta, a poached egg, and topped with crispy Brussels sprouts. We opted for the Fettuccine Carbonara and the Pappardelle al Ragu. Our server also brought over a complimentary bread basket, creamy butter, and dipping oil that was a nice addition to our other dishes.įor our entrees, we decided to try a couple of the housemade pasta dishes. The textures, flavors, and plating of both of these appetizers was spot-on. The roasted beets were cut into bite-size squares and were served with goat cheese, toasted pistachios and orange slices. The cauliflower florets were drizzled with Thai chili cream sauce and the flavor was amazing. We chose the Roasted Cauliflower and the Roasted Beet Salad for our antipasti. My husband ordered the Italiano Mule and it was awesome! Limoncello was the secret ingredient that gave the mule its special “oomph!” Delicioso on both counts. I opted for a glass of Amore Prosecco and it was cool and crisp – just the way I like it. Now it was time to make some tough decisions! The cocktail and wine lists were impressive and the menu selections were very appealing. Our server made us feel welcome and delivered the right amount of attentiveness throughout our meal. The hostess was welcoming and my husband and I were promptly seated at our table in the middle of the restaurant. A high glass ceiling, colorful floor tiles, big windows, and beautiful lighting fixtures created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Interesting art work was located throughout the dining rooms. I was impressed with the chic, modern decor and the “homey” feel. Mille Lire is a great little Italian restaurant located in the Dallas Arts District near Cedar Springs, in the Centrum Building. From the second I walked in, I liked it. One of my best “foodie friends” just happened to turn me on to Mille Lire. I love having friends who are foodies! They are a wealth of information regarding new restaurants, new food trends, and the latest recipes.
