The family-owned restaurant Pane Nostrohas officially opened its doors in Dallas' Bishop Arts District, bringing authentic Italian cuisine to the vibrant neighborhood.
After a successful tenure in McKinney, the restaurant now occupies 508 W. Seventh St., the former site of chocolatier CocoAndré.
The move was first announced in 2023, with renovations beginning in early 2024 to transforming the space into a warm and inviting "casa" that reflects the essence of Italian hospitality.
Being in Bishop Arts is a homecoming of sorts for Pane Nostro owners Dion Gazzaruso and Adalberto Lujan, who originally aimed to establish their eatery in this eclectic district. "Bishop Arts was our very first option when we moved here from Las Vegas, but that didn't work out at the time. This is finally our moment to be in Bishop Arts, which we think really fits our personality," says Gazzaruso

The restaurant also offers a variety of seafood and steak options, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of Italian cuisine. For those with dietary preferences, gluten-free pastas are available.
Complementing the food is a predominantly Italian wine list, alongside a full bar serving signature Italian-inspired cocktails. A special highlight for wine enthusiasts: On Tuesdays, guests can enjoy half-priced bottles.
