The passionate General Manager responsible for acclaimed Houston establishments DaMarco and Dolce Vita has embarked on a new culinary adventure that will transport patrons to the heart of Italy. This new journey led to the creation of Magdalena’s Pizza and Trattoria – a haven for the finest Italian pizza and pasta.

Magdalena’s is an inviting space where everyone can gather to experience the true essence of Italian cuisine. The secret to Magdalena’s success lies in our commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients imported directly from Italy. To compliment the cuisine, we offers an extensive wine list available for purchase by the case with the most competitive retail pricing.

The dedication to excellence in customer experience, the discipline required to produce elevated dishes, and loyalty to authenticity are all traits instilled in Chef Nicolas Nikic by his Italian mother. It is not surprising, therefore, that the restaurant bears her name in homag

    We decided to try this restaurant based on a friend’s recommendation. I was very disappointed. We specifically asked no extra salt on our food. Everything, from the pizza sauce to the spinach on the quail and polenta dish, was extremely salty. The only exception was the pizza bread. The flash fried artichoke was not edible. It was like chewing on wood chips. The prices are very high for the quality of the food. The only thing we all enjoyed very much was the budino lemon dessert. That was excellent. Still $14 dollars for a dessert… we will not be back.

    Everything is delicious -- we think this restaurant should be full all the time- They have a small but well curated Menu pizzas are great as well as any of the pastas which are made in house by scratch with organic ingredients. Great care is taken in the choice of wines and the presentation of each dish. Don't forget the tiramisu, which is the best version of itself ever! And even better, if you love your wine, you can buy a bottle to take home- Prices are very reasonable. Go for the authentic Italian food -- it's amazing.

    Wow! What a fantastic surprise! Our first time at Magdalena’s and it did not disappoint! The fresh pasta was the best I’ve had in Houston! And do not miss the homemade gelato! Will definitely return 🤗
