Local Spotlight: Piola Restaurant

A Green Scene

When the owner and chef, Bobby Albanese, decided to open up Piola near the downtown area of Fort Worth, he decided he wanted to give restaurant-goers something special. It’s one thing that he’s developed the skill and care to recreate authentic Italian dishes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

At Piola, Bobby has created a restaurant atmosphere that truly feels like you’re dining at home with family and friends. There’s even a beautiful garden you can look out onto, both from inside and out on the patio.

Fine Dining at Its Best

When first entering, you’ll observe that this is a place that understands and respects a luxurious dining experience. In the waiting area, you’ll find big, comfortable couches you can sit on as you wait for your table. The tables themselves are covered with white linen cloths. The wine is served in elegant glasses. Your wait staff is prepared to take your order exactly as you see fit. In the evenings, you’ll notice the candles provide a soft glow that will make you and your dinner party feel quite cozy.

All their menu options are uniquely curated to perfection and picking out only one option will prove to be quite difficult. There is a whole list of savory options including lobster ravioli, linguine primavera, chicken marsala, and the always-popular Grandma’s Lasagna. Don’t forget to have a look at their drink menu, where you’ll find the perfect drink that will pair up nicely with your dinner. Their wine selection includes pinot noir, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, and merlot. And of course, there’s always dessert if you’re still hungry. You should try their delectable Chocolate Ganache Cake, or maybe try their tiramisu.

You can even call in and reserve a private event, whether it’s for a business get-together or you’re looking to celebrate with friends and family. Also be sure to enjoy the unbelievably lush view of the garden, which has been carefully maintained to give Piola its signature look.
