Q: Bodega Wine Bar opening in the White Rock area

[caption id="attachment_61990" align="aligncenter" width="571"] Bodega Wine Bar[/caption] Bodega Wine Bar is back in business and this time in East Dallas. For 10 years it operated on Travis Walk, but it closed in 2012. Owner Amier Taherzadeh tried other things for a while, but he has now reopened Bodega at Abrams and Mockingbird. The location opened in February and Taherzadeh hosted a grand opening earlier this month. The concept is the same as the original location: wine. Aaand yeah. That’s it. That’s the whole concept. Drink it by the bottle ($15-$120), by the flight ($10-$25) or by the glass ($60$20). There’s a five dollar cork fee. You’re welcome to bring your own bottle of wine for a $10 cork fee. You can also bring your own food, or get a cheese and meat plate. Bodega opens from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday, and it’s open until midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Q: Cake Ball Company to celebrate 8 years of sugary goodness

[caption id="attachment_56293" align="aligncenter" width="642"] photo via Cake Ball Company/Facebook[/caption] Even after closing up shop back in March*, the Lake Highlands-born Cake Ball Company is still going strong. In fact, business is so good that the owners are throwing a party this week, marking eight years of cake ball creation. From 3-6 p.m. this Friday stop by the locally-owned gift shop T.Hee Greetings for door prizes, Times Ten Cellars wine, and the unveiling of "Cake cups." (If they are the cake ball/peanut butter cup hybrids that I'm suspecting they are, I'm going to have to go hit the treadmill hard in the meantime.) *Lochwood resident Robin Ankeny now sells her decadent, gooey confections online and at a handful of neighborhood stores, including T.Hee Greetings.

Q: Olivella's adds new pizza, pasta dishes to its menu

[caption id="attachment_41969" align="aligncenter" width="520"] Olivella’s margherita pizza[/caption] Thin-crust pizza lovers already know that Olivella's in Hillside Village serves up some of the freshest, cracker-thin pizza in Dallas, but this summer, they're showcasing that the rest of its menu is pretty darn good too. Along with its non-pizza offerings such as sandwiches, salads and sushi parma , the wood-fired pizza restaurant has recently added two pasta dishes and a specialty pizza to the mix. Although the three dishes are new to Olivella's diners, publicists say that they've been in the Olivella family for generations. The new items, available now, include chicken alfredo pizza, fettuccine alfredo pasta, and tomato-cream based pasta with pancetta and tomatoes.
