Las Colinas, TX: Trevi’s Restaurant – Omni Mandalay
When in Dallas, one doesn’t think to rush to Las Colinas for dinner. The concrete jungle is home to more office space than Reston, the mustang statues and Trevi’s at the Omni Mandalay. For business travelers who prefer to walk to an amazing meal, Trevi’s is the answer.
At first glance, Trevi’s is not for vegetarians. My server, however, was delighted to offer several vegetarian options. I opted for the gnocchi with a tomato sauce with vegetables. A beautiful basket of bread arrived before my meal. The garlic was a nice surprise as I always avoid the butter. If you look closely, you will see the butter was too cute to eat anyway.
Flower Shaped Butter...so cute!
I was very surprised by the gnocchi. The gnocchi tasted more like dumplings. I liked them so much I asked my server about the preparation. He said they are pan seared a bit when all of the ingredients are mixed together immediately before they hit the plate. They were so soft on the inside and just a bit firm on the outside. They were also HUGE! The tomato sauce was light and the dish included a nice variety of perfectly prepared vegetables…not too crisp…not mushy.
Huge Gnocchi
Trevi’s is located in a hotel. Sometimes hotel restaurants are a bit lacking. Not Trevi’s. If you find yourself in Las Colinas, step into the beautiful Omni Mandalay, visit with the exceptional staff, and wander downstairs into Trevi’s. Their Italian fare won’t disappoint.
