Downtown Frisco will get a new Italian restaurant in 2027

A new Italian dining option is coming to Frisco in the spring with the opening of Amy D’s Italian, a restaurant inside The Patios at the Rail.

The new concept, which will be at 7511 Main St., was created by chef Amy DiBiase in collaboration with Donny Churchman, founder and CEO of Nack Companies.

DiBiase, who grew up in Maine, learned to cook alongside her Italian grandmother and in her family’s restaurants, according to a news release announcing the brand. She later studied at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island and worked in the kitchens at Tidal and the InterContinental Hotel in San Diego. Most recently, she was executive chef at Elaine’s Kitchen in Frisco.

Amy D’s will occupy a two-story space, with a menu focusing on Italian cooking and ingredients from Texas and Italy. The menu will include antipasti, house-made focaccia, handmade pastas, wood-fired specialties and seasonal sides for sharing.

One feature of the new restaurant will be a room dedicated to making pasta, where diners can watch that part of the process.

The bar will serve Italian wines, classic and signature cocktails, spritzes, Italian sodas and nonalcoholic drinks.

The restaurant was designed by Maybeck Design and will occupy 4,700 square feet. The restaurant will be on the first floor, with a lounge on the second. The space will also include a private room for 20 people and an enclosed patio with greenery and sliding glass panels.

At first, Amy D’s will serve dinner only, from 4 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. According to the release, the plan is to later add a family-style Italian Sunday lunch inspired by the Sundays DiBiase spent around the table with her grandmother.

An exact opening date has not been set, but the restaurant is expected to debut in the second quarter of 2027.
