The new Loveria Caffe Taste of Italy is open, and a second might not be far behind. Architects and a chef from Ravenna, Italy, have brought Texas a finely crafted turn on authentic northern Italian dining and coffees, and the result is a classy yet comfortable restaurant with appeal far beyond Colleyville.

As if to prove everything is homemade, at one point during opening weekend, Loveria ran out of pasta. Chef Michele Ragazzini’s lunch and dinner menus are inventive but familiar. The top sellers on opening weekend were a simple lasagna Bolognese with spinach pasta ($16), or a cappelletti (tortellini) al ragù ($16).
