Chef Luke Rogers and owner Luis Uriate built Cathedral Italian Bistro in Plano from their combined vision to create an approachable, but quality, dining experience. “Having a restaurant that serves amazing food and makes everyone feel welcome is important to us,” Rogers tells Eater Dallas.

It took two years of work for Rogers to bring Cathedral Italian Bistro to life. In collaboration with his team, many who came along from his tenure as executive chef at the now-closed Savor in Klyde Warren Park, Rogers developed a concept and menu that offers “Italian cuisine with Texas flair.” It pays homage to places Rogers has traveled, dishes he loved as a child, and his treasured experience working in the industry.
