“ Based on past experiences, I usually don’t expect tasty or high-quality food at airports. But I decided to give this Italian kitchen at DFW a try, and wow—the BBQ chicken pizza was amazing. The crust was so flavorful and crunchy that I found myself wanting to eat every bite of it. The server was also incredibly thoughtful, asking about my time crunch and making sure my food came out quickly. Overall, even airport food in Texas seems to be on another level. Would I go back to this kitchen? Absolutely. Anytime I’m flying through DFW Terminal D, this will be my go-to spot. ”
“ Food was great and also the service by Cody Hernández was on point. My cocktail was well prepared. The pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection. The Tiramisu at the end was delicious. ”
“ Best Italian i’ve ever had! Truly the best airport food you’ll ever come across. Service was 10/10. I highly highly recommend. ”
“ I was enroute to Houston and I had a stopover at DFW terminal D. This will be my best stopover experience. As its the period of “Lent”- before Easter. I wanted to choose something completely vegetarian. I was pleasantly surprised with their warm caprese sandwich with mozzarella and pesto aioli . It was warm delicious and amazingly simple. For dessert- I chose to go with the raspberry mascarpone cream pudding. What can I say - its a harmonious marriage between the fruit and cheese. Yet it’s so decadent and airy. Topped with pistachios and sliced raspberries. It was a healthy choice. The staff at the entrance and the person who served me food today ( Hunter - in the picture) was just very kind and courteous. Truly it’s a great place to stop by for weary passengers to eat and refresh themselves. The best part is that every seating booth has charging stations for people to eat and recharge themselves and their gadgets as well! What a great way to treat your customers! Don’t miss this spot! Thank-you team Wolfgang Puck @ Terminal D ( D 22-D 40). Thank you Hunter for being so kind and helpful.. ”
“ Not your typical airport food. It was an oasis when compared to other places I've had to endure during long layovers. The food was so much better than I expected. The bartender was polite and attentive. The music wasn't too loud and enhanced overall experience. Any time I have a chance I'll go here. ”
