Service is What We Do.
Hospitality is Who We Are.
Calabrese is family-owned, and we consider our team our family. We are big believers in food bringing people together and in our guests feeling that they belong here. Although Calabrese has won many awards, you won’t see plaques on the wall because we also believe we’re only as good as the day’s last meal served. We know in the end, you won’t remember the silverware placement. You will remember how we made you feel.
MEET OUR CHEF/OWNER
LUCIANO SALVADORE
Chef Luciano Salvadore began his culinary career cooking in restaurant kitchens in his hometown of Vicenza, Italy when he was 14 years old. He graduated from The Recoaro Terme Culinary School at age 17 and has been a culinarian in Italy and the United States ever since.
At Calabrese, Chef Luciano focuses on authentic Italian cuisine and features fresh house-made pasta made with organic, imported Italian flour. He not only presents each unique dish in a mouth-watering way, but also follows through with a delicious harmony of flavors. He has been an unwavering talent at Calabrese and is followed by the DFW metroplex as a whole.
