Arcodoro
& Pomodoro Ristoranti Italiani are now consolidated under one roof
in the heart of Dallas’ fun Uptown district located at 2708 Routh
Street. The Results of this union are stunning and will capture the
diners imagination. The new location is the culmination of all that
is Sardinian. It is here that you truly experience the Farris’
brothers Sardinian heritage through their cooking.
The Restaurant is divided into two dining areas:
Arcodoro
has a see and be seen bar area and a more casual atmosphere, a great
patio for spacious dining “al fresco,” a woodburning pizza oven
and extraordinary pasta and grilled entrees.
Pomodoro
is slightly more formal with white tablecloths and candles and
offers daily specials prepared by our Italian chefs. (Reservations
are recommended, but not required.)
SEDUCTIVE SARDINIA
In Texas, two brothers serve up the rustic and aromatic cuisine
of Italy's ancient island.
While the Aga Khan may have put the island nation of Sardinia on
the map, its distinct and flavorful cuisine is becoming a favorite
among those who may not be candidates for a segment on "Lifestyles
of the Rich and Famous." Sardinian food is the cooking of the
farmers and shepherds – a simple, rustic cuisine rich in flavor and
texture. The majority of the recipes have changed very little over
the centuries, always incorporating the freshest ingredients of the
season.
Not
only are Sardinian dishes unique as Mediterranean cuisine, but also
several of the food products such a bottarga (sun dried fish roe
used as a flavoring for pastas and crostini) and fregola – the "cous
cous" of Sardinia – are indigenous to the island. In the United
States, the Farris brothers have introduced us to the remarkable
flavors of Sardinia through their three restaurants: Arcodoro in
Houston and Arcodoro and Pomodoro in Dallas. Lovers of fine cuisine
flock to the Farris restaurants and have fallen in love with this
hybrid of ancient cuisines. Noted food writer John Mariani recently
had the opportunity to dine at Arcodoro and posted a review on his
Virtual Gourmet Newsletter. He states, "Arcodoro is the only true
Sardinian Ristorante in the United States." |
