If you’ve been on the lookout for a great Italian place you may have noticed a new name in Southlake. Only, passing by its location on SH 114 might be confusing. That’s because the restaurant formerly named Patrizio’s Osteria, has a new name: il Calabrese.
It’s the same great location with the same upscale, yet family friendly atmosphere. What catches your eye first in terms of design is a unique chandelier in the glass-enclosed circular staircase leading to the bar upstairs that seems to float from one level to the next. The huge patio that wraps two sides of the building complete with a huge fireplace is the perfect gathering place for friends.
But if you are thinking of having a small get-together over dinner and wine indoors, a private dining room is also available featuring handcrafted wooden tables and gold leather chairs. Turner Duncan, the architect from Duncan Miller Design, paid very close attention to detail designing every space within what is now il Calabrese.
In addition to the name change, new ownership has put il Calabrese on the map of “new” places for fine Italian dining in the area. Oscar Renda purchased all of the interest of the former majority owner and partner, and now serves as owner. As a result, il Calabrese no longer has ties to the other Patrizio locations.
