As soon as you click on the website for Sfuzzi Dallas, you’re greeted with the Italian phrase: Il vostro piacere sono I nostri affari.
Translation? Your pleasure is our business.
Same thing we have imprinted on our headboard.
But after our recent experience at the newly relocated, reworked Sfuzzi (the S and F are both audible, by the way), we’re convinced that pleasuring customers is truly the mantra guiding them from the front of the house to the back.
We eat at a lot of restaurants and we can honestly say this is the first experience we’ve had in a long time, in all of 2015 for sure, where we’ve loved absolutely everything the chef sent out for us to try. By simple mathematical law, usually there’s a dud or meh dish when tasting so many courses. Not here.
Normally we try to highlight rare or unusual menu items, but their Italian staples are all so good that we’ve got to give them props.
Most importantly, the pizzas are divine. Each is handcrafted by Marco De Rossi, an authentic Italian pizzaiolo, and baked in a wood-fired brick oven. There’s so much to love on the menu, but when the pizza is great, it’s hard to stray too far from that delectable crust-and-cheese combo.
Of course, it’s not much of a stretch to order Rigatone Bolognese at an Italian joint, but once again Sfuzzi serves up a superlative example, proof that sometimes classics are classics for a reason. Their beef and veal ragu simmers for hours before clinging gently to every piece of made-fresh-daily pasta (not in-house, but who cares).
Even an easy-to-ignore dessert like cheesecake gets a bump in personality with the addition of Limoncello for a slice of sweet perfection.
Sfantastic.
