    This week's roundup of restaurant news around Dallas features loads of cool new drinks and not a day too soon, plus new summer salads, seasonal menus, wine, whiskey, and tea, and a new location of a favorite pizzeria chain.

    Here's what's happening in Dallas restaurant news:

    Cane Rosso, the Neapolitan-style pizza chain, opened its newest location in Lake Highlands, at 7150 Skillman St #190, at Walnut Hill Lane, in the same shopping center as the Sprouts. They opened with some special menu items including the return of Cacio e Pepe, the simple peppery pasta dish, after a many-years-long hiatus; an updated Penne All'Amatriciana pasta that's said to be extra spicy; a revamped version of their Cheesy Garlic Bread that reflects the garlic bread created by their Chef Christian Petroni and is sold at Yankee Stadium, and a new chicken Milanese sandwich on wood-fired bread.

    Rodeo Goat, the burger chain from Shannon Wynne, is opening a location in Addison at 14941 Midway Rd. in the former Spring Creek BBQ near Belt Line Road, in the fall. This will be the 10th location.

    Wounded Ostrich, a bar in Deep Ellum at 2815 Main St., has closed after two years. True to form, owners Charles Nelson and David Herrera, who also own The 2nd Tap, offered little explanation other than to state that they were turning the lights out, and offer a thanks, "from every Texas Country song that filled this space to every two-step on the dance floor." They've since put the venue up for sale on Facebook for $75,000 (real estate not included).

    Dee Lincoln Prime, the upscale steakhouse in Frisco, recently welcomed a new executive chef – Chef Mario Roca. Roca is coming to the steakhouse after nine years with Wolfgang Puck Catering and is rolling out a new menu for the restaurant in early July.

    Big Al's Smokehouse is introducing cocktails to the menu for the first time to celebrate 50 years. The cocktails include spiked sweet tea, a blend of Caine’s Pekoe Black brewed tea with a sweet kick, and Big Al’s margarita, named after founder Al Plaskoff and made to complement the flavors of Big Al’s Hickory-smoked meats.

    Uchi and Uchiba are now doing three Sushi Box options to go: Ichi, a $95 box featuring nigiri, maki, and crudo; Ni a $195 box featuring nigiri, maki, crudo, chirashi, and sashimi and rice for a do-it-yourself Japanese Rice Bowl; and San, a $295 box that contains everything in the Ni box and two types of caviar. The boxes may be picked up or ordered for delivery via Uber Eats and are available daily in limited supply.

    BJ’s Restaurants added a new Graham Cracker S’mores Pizookie to the menu for $8.45. It’s a Ghirardelli triple chocolate cookie topped with graham cracker crumbles, toasted marshmallows, two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream, and more graham crackers on top.

    Bulla Gastrobar, the Spanish-style restaurant in Legacy West, launched its summer menu with Sevilla-style fried fish tapa, cremini mushrooms croquettes with blue cheese & pear jelly, chicken leg confit with Castelvetrano olives, beer-cooked beans, and brownie & passion fruit sorbet.

    The Capital Grille has brought back The Generous Pour, a wine-pairing dinner special available July 1-September 1 in Dallas, Plano, Fort Worth, and Southlake, featuring seven wines from California’s coastal growing regions of Sonoma, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, to pair with special menu items. Pricing starts at $45.

    Carrabba’s Italian Grill has a new summer menu available through August 26 including tomato caprese with burrata, crab & shrimp Florentine, and Sicilian citrus mahi and wood-grilled mahi. Dessert is an Italian cookie cake — a take on the traditional Italian rainbow cookie made with almond cake with raspberry filling, covered in chocolate ganache, served with vanilla ice cream.

    Dairy Queen is featuring the Salted Caramel Truffle DQ Blizzard for its July Blizzard of the month, consisting of vanilla soft serve, caramel truffles, and sea salt.

    Dakota’s Steakhouse in downtown Dallas has a special four-course meal featuring dishes from the original Dakota’s menu and current items priced at $95, with choices from black truffle tater tots & oxtail croquettes, Maine lobster salad, duck confit pappardelle, clam chowder, 6oz filet mignon with prawn, spinach, & potato puree, boneless ribeye served steak frites style with au poivre, tiramisu cheesecake, or summer peach olive oil cake.

    Blue Goose Cantina has a new summer menu featuring $14 entrees, such as tacos al pastor, shrimp tacos, huaraches, and a "Mexican benedict" with two sopes topped with refried beans, chorizo, poached eggs, salsa verde, sour cream, queso fresco, and cilantro, served with brunch potatoes, as well as a new kiwi cucumber margarita. At Frisco, Plano, Highland Village, McKinney, Grapevine, Fort Worth, and Grand Prairie.

    Dog Haus is launching new limited-time menu items: the Naughty Dog and Naughty Burrito starting July 1. The Naughty Dog is an all-beef jalapeño snap dog topped with sweet and spicy pickled pepper relish and mustard aioli, served in grilled King’s Hawaiian rolls. The Naughty Burrito is a collaboration with Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos, featuring an all-beef jalapeño snap dog, three sunny-side-up eggs, white American cheese, caramelized onions, crispy tater tots, and spicy mayo inside a toasted flour tortilla.

    Fish City Grill launched several July Chalkboard Specials, including seared Ahi tuna tacos with mango jicama relish, avocado ranch, chips & avocado salsa verde for $16.49. Grilled Mediterranean Branzino with creamy olive pesto, creamy parmesan rice, and a chargrilled summer squash medley for $24.99. These specials will be available July 1–31 at all Dallas locations.

    Hotel Crescent Court is hosting "The Wallflowers High Tea," an afternoon tea inspired by the Bridgerton series, in celebration of the new season. Guests are invited to dress up and savoring culinary delights and delicate pastries, complemented by Damman Frères teas. The afternoon will feature melodies from a live violinist, fine China, and floral wisterias. Wallflowers High Tea will be served every Saturday & Sunday throughout July, with seating times at 12 pm and 1 pm. Reservations must be made in advance.

    Partenope Ristorante, the Dallas-based mom and pop specializing in Neapolitan-style pizza, received two awards from "50 Top Pizza USA": They won Best Pasta 2024 and came in at No. 12 for Best Pizza in the U.S. This accolade grants them passage to Naples, where they'll be considered as a candidate for one of the 100 Best Pizzeria in the world. Partenope has two locations: downtown Dallas and Richardson.

    Perry’s Steakhouse is celebrating 45 years for the month of July with a special "four for $44 menu" featuring a four-course meal with starter, soup or salad, entree, and dessert.

    Ice Cream News

    Maya Creamery unrolls ice cream and Indian treats in Las Colinas

    An ice cream shop specializing in rolled ice cream is coming to Las Colinas: Called Maya Creamery, it’s part of a small but international chain, and is set to open in late July at 3341 Regent Blvd. #140, in the Stampede Crossing shopping center near I-635 and Belt Line Road.

    Maya Creamery is owned by Sukhi Singh Anand and his family, who previously owned seven locations in Phoenix, Arizona; his grandfather opened the first location in Mumbai in 1979.

    Anand opened the first Texas shop in McKinney in 2024, and they opened shops in Frisco in April, and Little Elm in May.

    “We chose to continue my grandfather’s legacy and expand in the U.S.,” Anand says.

    They specialize in rolled ice cream, which is made by pouring the ice cream mixture onto a freezing metal plate, mixing in toppings, then rolling it with a slicer, and arranging the rolls in cups. The trend first surfaced in the U.S. about a decade ago; according to Anand, they were pioneers in the rolled ice cream community in the U.S.

    "We were the first one to introduce rolls and Maya special plates, which became very popular among the Indian community," Anand says.

    Maya Creamery also offers Indian desserts such as falooda, mango lychee rolls, and rabdi, which are similar to a milkshake. There’s a rabdi gulab jamun plate with sweet fried dumplings on top of rabdi; and rabdi kulfi, which is like an ice pop.

    Other desserts include macarons, crepes, boba tea, and cassata, which is slices of ice cream on top of sponge cake. Most items on the menu are under $10.

    Irving is their fourth location in Texas, and Anand says they're in the process of opening six more across within the next year.

    "We chose this location due to its visibility from the highway and due to a high demand from people in Irving who were requesting Maya to bring a location more accessible to them," Anand says.
