They offer an array of seafood, pasta, and beef specialties but are famous for their Italian Nacho. Which became a registered trademark today called the “Italchos.” The chips from the nachos are created from a secret recipe and made fresh daily in the restaurant. My favorite dish is the Tom Landry Special: a chicken breast topped with roasted red peppers and Texas goat cheese over ancho chili pepper sauce. To die for but don’t take our word for it, add it to your list for date night in Dallas.
