What a gem. Warm greeting as soon as we walked in. Superior service from our waiter. I had a question about a couple of items and he suggested something that wasn’t even on the menu. Delicious! Highly recommend.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Maggiano's Little Italy in San Antonio. We are located at The Rim, centrally located near The Alamo, the San Antonio Riverwalk, and Sea World. Our dining room is ideal for family-style dining with our Italian–American cuisine, reminiscent of a Sunday night visit to your grandmother’s house -- or as they say in Italy, nonna’s casa! These delicious dishes paired with great service, generous portions and a warm atmosphere keep our guests and their families coming back for more.

Join us soon! We look forward to hosting your next business or family gathering.

Beautiful restaurant. Service was okay. Bread not served with meal. Waiter was pleasant but too busy to provide great service. Powdered parmigiana cheese? Fresh is so much better!!

About the restaurant

As San Antonio’s food scene continues to evolve, a new culinary hub is beginning to take shape downtown, where some might argue it all began. With signs of life stirring and anticipation building, the lights are officially back on in the historic Fairmount Hotel’s corner eatery. SILO Restaurants and Food Network Star runner-up and Executive Chef Luca Della Casa announce the opening of NONNA Osteria, offering artisan Northern Italian cuisine, honoring the regional traditions and heritage of Chef Della Casa’s homeland.

Delicious food, and our server was great. Only disappointment was the volume. We couldn’t hear our food server and we couldn’t hear the other couple we brought with us. (That is why we rated it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

About the restaurant

Inspired by our roots on the Adriatic Coast, our family opened Albi’s Vite Italian Kitchen to serve authentic homemade Italian dishes like scratch-made Lasagna, mouthwatering Shrimp Alfredo, or creamy Chicken Florentine. Pair any dish with our extensive wine menu, or follow it with decadent tiramisu for the perfect final course.

We are so proud to serve our San Antonio community. Our restaurant will always be as warm and inviting as our own home. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for anything you need.

Jerry was our server/bartender and he was amazing. He helped me customize a special drink since I can’t have vodka. He was also so attentive always asking if we needed anything.

About the restaurant

Located at the "Gateway to Southtown," the Historic and Majestic Firehouse #7 is home to Battalion. After a nearly two year renovation, "The Rock" has been restored as the crown jewel of Southtown. Overlooking the spectacular downtown cityscape and the famous Tower of Americas, Battalion's contemporary design merges perfectly alongside the historic building's strong, yet weathered 1920's craftsmanship. Chef Davis has created an extensive menu of fresh pastas, char-grilled meats, stunning vegetable dishes and Italian classics. Complimenting the menu is a comprehensive wine list and a refreshingly original cocktail program.
