Popular Italian restaurant Radici expands to Grand Prairie, opening the second location for celebrity Chef Tiffany Derry and Tom Foley’s purpose-driven hospitality group, T2D Concepts. Their Italian concept, Radici (meaning “Roots” in Italian), opened its second location in the thriving EpicCentral entertainment district on April 15.
T2D Concepts brings their culinary vision to EpicCentral following the successful launch of Radici in Farmer’s Branch last May. Radici’s menu is a reflection of Chef Derry’s early career cooking in Italian kitchens, her extensive travels throughout Italy, and the love she has for Italy’s diverse regional cuisine. At the heart of Radici is a dedication to tradition, featuring fresh, house-made pastas crafted daily in an open kitchen—centered around a wood-fired grill.

“Italian food has played a big role in both my professional and personal culinary journey, and it has been so exciting to bring this concept to life over the last year, and now bring it to even more people,” said Derry. “I can’t wait to become part of the Grand Prairie community and serve up my style of Italian cooking while creating some fun, memorable experience around the table.”
Foley, who oversees guest experience and atmosphere design, has crafted a warm and inviting space framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and rich burgundy hues—featuring even his own artwork. Foley’s childhood was inspired by his mother’s roots in Balvano, Italy. At the heart of the main dining room is a striking vertical green wall, created in partnership with Queen’s Floral Design + Events, symbolizing Radici’s journey and growth. Thoughtfully designed to host private events and special occasions, the space offers the perfect setting for everything from wedding celebrations to corporate gatherings.

“Our goal is to create unforgettable experiences, where every detail—from the dishes to the design—tells a story,” said Foley. “We’ve crafted a space that feels inviting, where guests can gather, celebrate, and create new traditions around our table. We’re thrilled to open our second location and bring the Grand Prairie community a true taste of Italy and our heartfelt hospitality.”
