Urbano Cafe describes itself as a neighborhood Italian restaurant, with convivial dining rooms and a covered patio on N Fitzhugh Ave in Old East Dallas. The wine list is priced for enjoyment rather than showing off, and the bar turns out stirred cocktails alongside a notable amari selection.
The menu opens with antipasti like baked clams oreganata, arancini, carpaccio cipriani, and a whole roasted artichoke, before moving into salads and a pasta list that includes lobster ravioli fra diavolo, spaghetti carbonara, linguine vongole, and a baked mezzi-rigatoni with Jimmy's Italian sausage ragù. Entrees cover chicken al mattone, pistachio-crusted snapper, lamb chops, and a chopped NY strip finished with Barolo sauce.
The restaurant has built a regular following, with staff and service frequently singled out, and it sits next to Sylvestro, the bar connected to it.
