Fire strikes Cremona Italian eatery in Dallas

Email Print Tell us your story Comments (2)

Dallas firefighters responded to alarms directing them to the Cremona restaurant just after 2:30 a.m. on June 4. One fireman cut his hand during efforts to extinguish the blaze and was taken to Baylor Medical Center for treatment.

The restaurant itself sounds like a total loss - apparently the roof collapsed as the inferno raged. Early buzz is that the paintball business next door may have been the origin of the fire.

This comes as a total shock to anyone who has dined at this fine Dallas Italian eatery over the last few decades, which was nestled between Oak Lawn and Turtle Creek. I was just there a month ago, and to this day, they still served the fresh hot slices of garlic bread at your table, every few minutes, right from the oven. The staff was always friendly and courteous, the restaurant itself had an old world look to it, like you would see in New York or Italy and the food was as good as any home-made Italian food you could find anywhere in Dallas. God Bless the owner and I hope they reopen this beloved Dallas tradition.

I have not been to Cremona in about 5 years but used to frequent it often when I worked just 2 blocks away. It really was like walking into any family-run place in Tuscany. Dated, filled with artifacts from multitudes of clients over the years and the garlic bread was killer. While not stellar, the food was consistently good and fresh and the service sincere.

I consider it on the same good level as Pietro's, another little family gem not frequented by the Fickle 500 Foodies.

The Trains at NorthPark Oh, no! Godzilla got into the Northpark train exhibit! But don't worry, the engineers will have it back up and running in time for your mall visit. And now, BEFORE the big holiday rush, is the best time to see them, before hundreds of drooling children take over the enclosure after Thanksgiving. More info
