When visiting with my Mother-in-“Love” this past weekend, we had a wonderful dining experience at Speranza @18204 Preston RD in Dallas. We arrived around 6 pm and was seated promptly. Our server, Flory, was attentive, professional and an absolute pleasure. She answered all of our questions about the menu as it was our first time dining at this restaurant. She was helpful in recommending entrees and also in wine selections. I ordered the Alla Crema and my MIL had the Melanzane Parmigiana. Both were delicious and generous portions. We were served bread with dipping oil- it was warm and fresh. The restaurant quickly filled up with parties of 4, 6, 8 and 10! Our service was superb with a couple managers stopping by to see if everything was to our liking. One of the managers we spoke with at length was Guillermo who welcomed us and told us there is live music each Friday evening. My MIL lives quite close to this location and was very impressed with the meal and the service. Whenever I visit again, I will plan on us dining here again. If you are looking for authentic Italian food, in a welcoming family friendly environment with exceptional waitstaff and management, you should try Speranza Italian Restaurant- you won’t be disappointed! Enjoy. There was ample parking although we chose to ride share. This restaurant is located in The Arbors on Preston Road…other businesses nearby: Kohl’s, Tom Thumb, Anytime Fitness, the UPS store, Starbucks, the Gelato &...

Read moreWe ate dinner here for my boyfriend's 27th birthday. Speranza's was recommended as a local restaurant with a solid wine list. For a Wednesday night in Far North Dallas the place was about half full around 7-7:30.
This is a low-lit romantic restaurant in an otherwise plain shopping center--there's a Tom Thumb across the parking lot. But in here we had a real candle and champagne.
Service was excellent, our server was patient and friendly. She was amused by how quickly and often we consumed the table bread--I believe we got one plate for free.
After splitting a large pile of calamari to start, I had a vegetable and chicken pasta. It was so large that I got two more meals out of it. These aren't tiny artsy portions! My boyfriend got a good-sized chunk of lasagna that even he barely finished.
We were disappointed that the 1/2 Priced Wine Wednesday deal was only for bottles. That never works for us because he likes dry reds (Tempranillo, Cab Sauv) and I like sweet whites (Riesling, Sparkling, Gewürtzaminer). So he had a glass of house red and I had a champagne.
With a good tip, our bill...
