Tell a longtime Dallasite: Bugatti Ristorante, an Italian restaurant open since 1980, is back. Gone is its longtime location on Northwest Highway and Lemmon Avenue, in Dallas’ Bluffview neighborhood near Love Field Airport. There, it served tortellini alla panna (veal-stuffed pasta) and capelli D’Angelo (angel hair pasta with shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes) for more than 35 years.

Bugatti relocated to a new development at Interstate 635 at Interstate 35E called Mercer Boardwalk in Farmers Branch. Bugatti was expected to open in spring 2024, but construction delays pushed the debut to late 2024. It’s been quietly open since December 2024, dinner only. The beloved restaurant had been closed for nearly two years, since March 2023, though Bugatti still offered catering.
