Bagheri's Restaurant
Located within 15 minutes of the Texas Woman's University golf course, Bagheri's has moved from the original hideaway location on Fry Street to a bigger location on University Drive. The original Italian restaurant has expanded to include a hookah bar next door. Sid, the owner and head chef, made Bagheri's into an institution in Denton with his Dama Bianca dishes, pizzas and hospitable service. Regular customers are treated like family, and many residents have their own off-the-menu personal favorites. Popular dishes include the lasagna and cheese or spinach ravioli dama bianca.
