Spring has officially arrived, bringing a fresh wave of culinary openings across Fort Worth. From the revival of cherished local institutions to globally inspired newcomers, the city’s latest dining and social destinations offer elevated experiences for every palate. Here’s a curated look at the most notable new Fort Worth restaurant openings.
Margie’s Italian Gardens
9805 Camp Bowie West Blvd
Recently reopened by Westland Restaurant Group (and one of the 10 Fort Worth Restaurant Openings We’re Most Excited For in 2025), Margie’s Italian Gardens blends classic charm with fresh energy on Westland’s West Side. The newly renovated space features bright red booths, wide clean walls, and nostalgic photos, including one of founder Margie Walters beaming with pride. The updated menu honors Italian tradition with favorites like calamari and lasagna, plus bold new dishes like braised short-rib ragu. Our top picks are the paper-thin Italian cracker topped with sun-dried tomato mascarpone, the indulgent eggplant Parmesan, or the lemon olive oil cake, finished with a blueberry basil jam.
