DALLAS, Texas—Adelmo’s Ristorante, one of Dallas’ best-loved Italian bistros for more than 35 years, is preparing to relocate to the landmark Preston Valley Shopping Center, located at the southwest corner of Preston Road and IH-635, in a 3,750-square-foot location.
Bernard Shaw, senior vice president of asset management with Weitzman, and the Weitzman brokerage team of Ben Terry and Amber Bacon handled negotiations.
Adelmo’s, a family-owned restaurant famed for its dishes like lasagna and veal osso buco, is owned and operated by Adelmo Banchetti and his wife, Eliza. Adelmo Banchetti, who was born and raised in Florence, Italy, had experience before opening his own restaurant with famed dining spots The Mansion and the Pyramid Room at the Fairmont Dallas. He and his wife first opened Adelmo’s in Uptown Dallas and most recently was located in Dallas’ Inwood Village.
Adelmo’s is known for its old-school recipes and warm family atmosphere, and the Branchetti family is thrilled to be carrying on that tradition in one of Dallas’ most iconic retail centers.
Herb Weitzman, executive chairman of Weitzman, noted that the new location for Adelmo’s is one that personally means a lot to him. “Adelmo’s is one of the truly great Dallas dining institutions, and Preston Valley was one of the very first retail centers Weitzman leased. The center opened in 1965, and our company still leases it and manages it by creating a landmark with great retailers like Terry Costa and destination dining concepts like India Palace, Maple Leaf Diner, Le Reve Gelato & Patisserie and, now, Adelmo’s!”
