Terilli's Restaurant

Opened in 1985, destroyed by fire in 2010– and resurrected again in 2011, yet throughout it all, the popularity of this family-owned eatery and jazz bar hasn't waned. And its appeal continues, partly, no doubt, because of its feel-good vibe and reasonably priced menu of eclectic Italian fare. Not only that, but Terilli's also offers some of the best (and free) live jazz music in the Metroplex. There's a great looking rooftop patio too. As for food, the menu runs the gamut from crab claws and shrimp scampi to pastas and wood grilled specialties. However, a meal here isn't complete without an order of Italchos, a cross between nachos and pizza, with handmade pizza chips and an assortment of toppings. And be sure to check out the martini line-up, they make around fifteen unexpected combinations– including one with chocolate liqueur and vanilla vodka.
