Construction appears to be stalled at Serritella, the Italian steakhouse, market and speakeasy<\/a> expected to open on Skillman Street in East Dallas\u2019 Lakewood area. Co-owner Jason Gorsuch insists the project will continue, with a delayed opening date.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re moving forward, absolutely,\u201d Gorsuch said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had some hurdles to clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serritella is now projected to open in the first quarter of 2026, Gorsuch said. The original opening date was spring 2025.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is under construction in a large, 16,000-square-foot<\/a> plot. Neighbors might remember<\/a> 1904 Skillman St. as Matt\u2019s Rancho Martinez, the Tex-Mex restaurant that was open for nearly 35 years<\/a>. Gorsuch\u2019s team, Lakewood Hospitality Group, also took over 6115 La Vista Drive, the former Chip\u2019s Old Fashioned Hamburgers. It was open for 10 years.<\/p>\n

The plan is to open a 250-seat Italian steakhouse, Serritella, named after Gorsuch\u2019s grandmother.<\/p>\n

Also, the space will have an Italian market where customers can buy house-made bread, pasta, steaks, wine and more. Gorsuch says it\u2019ll be like \u201cEatzi\u2019s meets Jimmy\u2019s,\u201d a nod to two Dallas-born markets.<\/p>\n

Both the restaurant and the market will use Akaushi Wagyu beef from Gorsuch\u2019s Brigade Meat Co., he said.<\/p>\n

A hidden bar called Cosa is expected to open near the back of the property. Lakewood Hospitality Group plans to sell private memberships to Cosa, then open it on certain evenings to the public.<\/p>\n

Gorsuch told The Dallas Morning News he\u2019s aware neighbors and passersby have questions about the stalled project. The building needed more work than his team anticipated, Gorsuch said. <\/p>\n

Recent upgrades have included work on the roof, plumbing and air-conditioning, according to city documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s a curveball to throw at us, we\u2019ve gotten it,\u201d Gorsuch said. <\/p>\n

The team is looking to hire a general manager, beverage director and executive chef.<\/p>\n

Skillman Live Oak shopping center has been owned by Asana Partners since 2024<\/a>, according to the Dallas Business Journal. The company is an investor in properties in Deep Ellum and Victory Park and is based in North Carolina.<\/p>\n
