About the restaurant

Bruno’s Ristorante has been a fixture in the neighborhood for many years. We’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone from nearby residents to business guests to the Dallas Cowboys (until recently) and those who travel from further away.

Bruno Ceka started this establishment over 25 years ago, and has been actively involved since its beginning. Bruno is an enthusiastic businessman who loves working in and serving the local community. He’s had several business ventures in the area over the years, but his passion has always been here, at Bruno’s. Most days you’ll see him welcoming you in the dining room.

About the restaurant

Handmade every day, and served to you in minutes
The term Loveria means something “irresistible”, a gastronomic delicacy, for authentic Italian food Lovers.

Loveria™ is a single container with many souls, for a multi‐faceted gastronomic and convivial offer. A project that put delicious food, interior design, and the idea of a place where people come to stay, on the same level. An itinerary of sociality, or rather a concept conceived by a team of Italians to experience the authentic Italian Culture.

About the restaurant

Chef Ati Malaj has been in the restaurant industry for over 25 years with Ciccio being his fourth restaurant in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
When you eat at Ciccio, you will gracefully taste his carefully crafted choices of ingredients. He is consistently raising the bar with innovated twists on all of his dishes.
Our mission is to have a place with not just extraordinary food, but also one that will make you feel at home, offering the highest standards in quality and service. From the logo to the silverware, every single detail was thought out and it has a why behind it. Talking about our logo, we don’t call it just a logo; we wanted it to tell a story and that’s exactly how it turned out. As simple as it looks, it tells our story.
The word “Ciccio” [pronounced CH EE – ch oh] means “sweetheart/an affectionate way of calling someone you love” in Italian, and that is exactly how he and his family feel about this place and what it represents to them.

This is a lovely upper scale Italian restaurant. We had Brooke as our waitress and she was fabulous. She was helpful with my food limitations and my orders came out correctly. My friend and I had the following items: polenta appetizer, Caesar salad, salmon, lava cake, and crème brûlée. The only thing that wasn’t just out of this world good was the broccolini. It was a little tough, but the salmon was fabulous. The appetizer with polenta and Gorgonzola cream sauce is naughty good. We have always had good experiences here,so it is our go to place for an upscale dinner. I find it’s easier to find a parking place if you go early.
