Fort Worth\u2019s upcoming spaghetti western restaurant<\/a> will serve spicy Cowgirl Italian sandwiches for lunch and red wine T-bone lamb for dinner.<\/p>\n

La Pistola<\/a> will open in the former Taco Heads restaurant<\/a> across from Dickies Arena this September. In an emailed press release, the restaurant announced its head chef, Austin Wyatt, as well as a glimpse into the menu.<\/p>\n

Wyatt is a graduate of The Culinary School of Fort Worth and has trained with the Stockyard\u2019s Star Cafe<\/a> Executive Chef Victor Villarreal as well as other local chefs. This will be his first time serving in the executive chef role.<\/p>\n

The menu reflects the retro cowboy Italian mood with elevated Italian sandwiches on fresh focaccia and a \u201clate night bites\u201d section with fried bologna. Eats Beats reporter Bud Kennedy refers to the Italian restaurant as something \u201cBeth Dutton would love.\u201d<\/p>\n

The menu consists of mid-priced elevated Italian sandwiches, fresh pastas, steaks, roasted chicken and seafood.<\/p>\n

A rosewood ranch grilled steak sandwich is already confirmed. Classics like the \u201cCowgirl Italian\u201d will have salami, mortadella and soppressata with the lettuce and tomato works. Of course there is a chicken parm and a mortadella on focaccia with burrata. The Camille will have spicy soppressata, some more spicy calabrese, pecorino cheese, whipped ricotta, and hot honey on focaccia.<\/p>\n

A bolognese and shrimp piccata will also be served during lunch.<\/p>\n

For dinner, a fried veal Milanese and red wine lamb T-bone will be standouts. Charbroiled branzino and roasted chicken are lighter options. And if you want to go casual, a meatball sandwich is on the evening menu.<\/p>\n

A fun section of \u201clate night bites\u201d have fried bologna with salt and vinegar chips as well as a tinned fish platter.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Yarbrough and Camille McDonald helped launch the successful Teddy Wong\u2019s<\/a> dumpling restaurant and are the co-owners behind La Pistola Kitchen + Saloon.<\/p>\n

When the two first bought the Montgomery Street space, they weren\u2019t sure what the concept would be, but knew they\u2019d create \u201csomething that belongs in Fort Worth.\u201d<\/p>\n

La Pistola was at first just a placeholder name until they knew for certain their concept would be a retro 1970s western themed space serving entr\u00e9es and pastas, and specialty Italian sandwiches with a bar. The moniker means \u201cthe gun\u201d in Italian and Spanish.<\/p>\n

La Pistola will open in September at 1812 Montgomery St. in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
