Enoteca Italia has earned official bragging rights for catering the Boston Celtics pregame meal played in Dallas on June 12.
The owner, Alban Besiri, told us he works with the Mavericks and NBA so that the teams know where to get good food when they’re in town. Now, so do you.
Enoteca, located in Turtle Creek, is a wine bar and restaurant with traditional Italian pasta dishes, pizzas, chicken and steak. Pregame meals for athletes usually contain carbs along with protein and vegetables. According to Enoteca’s Instagram, the Celtics have ordered just that: pasta with chicken or shrimp and vegetables, along with a bunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which we’re assuming are half-time snacks.
But don’t waste your time lurking around Oak Lawn to spot some players. Instead of having a restaurant full of NBA players, their custom menu is delivered to the American Airlines Center.
