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

    My husband and I dined on Valentine's evening. We have dined at many restaurants in the Houston area over more than 30 years and would rank the level of the dining experience last night as one of the best ever. Excellent food and superior service including active involvement from the owner from start to finish.

    So embarrassing, we are invited friends to try our new favorite restaurant and had the worst experience. The service was so terrible. We had to call a service person for everything. The restaurant was not busy.
