DalMoros plans made-to-order pasta shop on San Antonio's north side

DalMoros is lining up a made-to-order pasta shop at 1515 N Loop 1604 E, Suite 400, giving North San Antonio another fast-casual Italian option in a corridor already filling with quick-service names. The project is filed as a renovation and interior alteration inside a Walmart-anchored retail center, with work expected to start in August 2026 and wrap by November 2026.

The planned buildout is no small plug-in job. DalMoros is set to take over 2,138 square feet, and the estimated cost is $100,000. That puts the opening on a clear development clock, not an immediate debut, but it also signals a compact format built for volume, not a sprawling dining room.

The address sits at the San Antonio Supercenter at 1515 N Loop 1604 E, San Antonio, TX 78232, a site that is already drawing food traffic. A January 2026 report said a Dunkin’ counter was under construction at the same Walmart, which makes the center look less like a one-off grocery stop and more like a growing food node on the north side.

DalMoros’ appeal is its assembly-line simplicity. Guests choose fresh pasta, homemade sauce and toppings, and the brand says that setup can produce more than 1,000,000 combinations. The fresh pasta is made without egg, and gluten-friendly pasta is available, details that help the concept stand out in a market where a lot of Italian fast-casual spots still lean heavily on prebuilt bowls and standard menu scripts.

That positioning matters in San Antonio, where the fast-casual Italian lane is getting more crowded but still has room for a concept that treats pasta like a customizable lunch counter order. DalMoros is not selling a long sit-down meal or a red-sauce marathon. It is selling speed, choice and a format that can move quickly in a suburban retail center while still feeling more specific than the usual chain pasta play.

The brand’s footprint is still relatively tight in the United States, with locations listed in St. Petersburg, Tampa’s Armature Works and Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market. Its corporate story goes back to Venice, Italy, where it was founded in 2012 by seventh-generation Venetian chef Gabriele Dal Moro. Trade coverage says the concept entered the U.S. in 2021 with its first American franchise opening in St. Petersburg, a useful marker for how quickly it has moved from novelty to expansion mode.

For the Loop 1604 corridor, the draw is straightforward: a pasta shop built for the kind of errand-heavy, time-crunched stop that retail-center dining now depends on. DalMoros is not trying to be the fanciest Italian room on the north side. It is trying to be the easiest pasta decision.
