    Dallas restaurateur lists Lakewood entertaining compound for $2 million

    If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a restaurant, perhaps living in this house will get you one step closer. Prolific Dallas restaurateur Alberto Lombardi — he owns such hot spots as Toulouse, Taverna, and Bistro 31 — and his wife, Vivian, are selling their home at 6855 Lakewood Blvd., and it’s stocked with all the entertaining essentials.

    For starters, the formal dining room right off the entry sets the tone that this is a place to host dinner parties. To prepare the meal there is a gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf commercial range, Miele steamer, and dual dishwashers.

    Off the kitchen is a custom wine room. Fill it up, and there never will be a shortage of wine.

    With a sprawling 6,253 square feet, the home also boasts five bedrooms, including a downstairs master and separate guest wing, plus study, piano room, game room, and media room. There are four full and two half baths.

    The interior is a study in contrasts, with light, neutral colors on the walls and countertops and dark, rich tones in the hardwood floors, trim, and cabinetry.

    Outdoor amenities stand up to those indoors. The centerpiece of the backyard is the heated saltwater pool, and two seating areas — one on the covered patio with fireplace, the other set up cabana style on the far side of the pool — accommodate loads of guests.

    Bonus features include a three-car garage, On-Q Smart System, and a second staircase for easy access to the upstairs. Price tag on this property: $1,950,000, listed with Scott Carlson and Patrick Bukowitz of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.

    Alberto was coy about future plans but had lovely things to say about his time spent living on one of East Dallas’ most prestigious streets.

    “We have loved living in this home in Lakewood with its proximity to the lake and nearby restaurants,” he said. “Our home is spacious and bright, comfortable and inviting, and we will always remember the memories made there.”

    Booming Celina hits the big time with its first Walmart Supercenter

    The city of Celina is getting its first mega Walmart: According to a release, it will be a Walmart Supercenter located at the northwest corner of Preston Road (Highway 289) and the West Outer Loop.

    The store has been in the works for a few years, but the Celina Economic Development Corporation celebrated the opening in a groundbreaking on April 16. Mayor Ryan Tubbs called it a "significant moment" for Celina.

    The store will be a whopping 199,402 square feet, featuring a full-service grocery, pharmacy, electronics, apparel, and home goods.

    That puts it on the high side: According to AI, Walmart Supercenters can range from 100,000 to 200,000 square feet, and average around 180,000 to 187,000 square feet, although some larger Supercenters can exceed 250,000 square feet.

    So it's not the biggest Walmart Supercenter ever but it's still a pretty big store.

    It'll serve as the anchor on a mixed-use development featuring urban residential, plus other retailers and dining options.

    The city is also on track to get its first Costco by the end of the year. Will there be no end to the new shopping options? Not any time soon, as the community is now one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.

    Celina residents currently have a Brookshire's for their grocery and pharmacy needs. The closest Walmart Supercenters are in Anna, Prosper, and McKinney, with a total of nine in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

    In the Celina area, this puts Walmart ahead of that slacker H-E-B which so far only has stores in Allen, Frisco, and McKinney, although two more H-E-B stores are currently under construction in Melissa and Prosper.

    “This Supercenter represents more than just a new store - it’s an investment in Celina’s future,” says Anthony Satarino, Executive Director of the Celina Economic Development Corporation in a statement.

    The store is expected to open in spring 2026.
