    The ambiance is very nice and elegant. Our waiter Thomas was great and attentive. I got the spinach and pear salad that was excellent and my husband got the Caesar which he said was just average. He got the short rib which was very good and a nice portion size. They were out of the lasagna which is what I really wanted (weird since our reservation was at 7pm) so I ordered the bolognese instead. It was extremely salty! Like so much so that I couldn't eat it. I ate around the sauce and but it was disappointing. We got the olive oil gelato and the torta della nonna for dessert and both were very good!! Both very light too. Our wine was great too!
    TavolaResponded on November 12, 2024
    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the ambiance, service from Thomas, and several of our dishes, including the desserts and wine selection. We did have a very busy Saturday, and the lasagna was indeed in high demand. Since we focus on using fresh, high-quality ingredients, we don’t work with frozen items, which unfortunately led to us running out earlier than expected. We apologize for the saltiness of the bolognese; your comments are important, and we’ll make sure to review this with our kitchen team. We hope to welcome you back soon and provide an even better experience!

    Outstanding! Service is one of the best in town. Every one is super attentive and friendly. We had the fritto plate as appetizer and I loved that we can get different seafood in one plate. The risotto is delicious! My husband had the short ribs and it was melting, amazing flavor. We tried the tartufo nero dessert and it’s to die for!!! It became our favorite Italian in town and we will go back!

    Hello Adriane, Thank you so much for this incredible review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our service and had a fantastic experience with our dishes. The fritto plate, risotto, and short ribs are some of our favorites too, and we're delighted to know they hit the mark for you and your husband. The tartufo nero is always a perfect ending, and we’re so glad you enjoyed it! It’s an honor to be your favorite Italian spot, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon! It's always a pleasure to have you and your husband here with us.

    Best authentic Italian food top to bottom in the Houston area. From drinks, antipasti, main dishes, and dessert. The staff were friendly, waiter (Bryan), and the general manager Valerio was over the top. This will be our new date spot.
