50 Best Italian Restaurants in Houston

“As soon as you walk in the atmosphere is so welcoming. The service is outstanding. The food has the Italian touch and flavor (I visited Italy last year) food is really similar. The appetizers were all good. The prawns in the sauce delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection! Paired my food with the suggested red wine. The desserts topped it off for a perfect night out. Will be back with the rest of my family.“

“I’m not sure that I could recommend this place. The food was good, however I was with my 5yr old daughter and really felt like we were rushed. I understand we can’t possible order up a tab that much but we surely didn’t deserve to feel rushed. We split a salad and the meatballs. The main dish came out literally 2 mins after receiving the salad. I don’t know about this place. Slow it down.“

“My wife and l come to this kingwood location about once a week, Brandon and Jordan are always great. The food is always great up until about a month or so ago. The Angel hair pasta in alfredo sauce tastes different, kinda soggy, it doesn’t taste the same l don’t know what changed but l wish they would go back to the previous one.“

“Everything was delicious and the staff was so knowledgeable and friendly as well.“

“Best Sangria ever!! Delicious crisp fresh bread. Courteous, fast service and large menu, with authentic Italian dishes. We will definitely be dining at Carrabas whenever we come to Houston😍“

“A local pizza joint that did not disappoint! The owner and staff were all so welcoming and provided the best service! Both the pizza and pasta were fresh and flavorful; not to mention the crust had the perfect texture! Definitely a place I’d come back to!“

“the food and service was impeccable. The lemon drop drink was good too. Highly recommend Amalfi Ristorante and will definitely return.“

“Milton's was solid, and definitely somewhere I will return. We started with the arancini, and while it was very tasty, it could have been served slightly warmer. But any negative ends there. We had the chicken piccata and the 100-layer lasagna. Both were fantastic. The piccata interestingly came as bone-in which is a bit out of the ordinary, but this presentation added to the dish. The lasagna was served in a simple but very nice tomato sauce. Both of our entrees were excellent dishes.“

“Love Carrabba’s (Kirby). We live in DFW area now. Everytime we visit H-Town Carrabba’s is on our list of Things To Do“

“We’ve never had a bad meal at Carrabba’s. That being said, the service was a little slow tonight, but the food, as always, was delicious! From the soft and crusty-on-the-outside bread, and the herbs/olive oil to dip it in…and the shrimp and scallops with angel hair pasta with a lemon butter sauce…it was ALL so darn tasty! Great place to celebrate our anniversary.“

“Ottimo il servizio di Beppe e colleghi/e. Pizza ottima Grandi!“

“Wonderful experience. Delicious food. Courteous waitstaff. Just go, you will not be sorry.“

“Only one word can accurately describe this dining experience: WOW! OK, maybe a few other words: incredible, outstanding, fantastic, delicious, amazing, and unique! This was truly an experience! It all started with the wonderful service from Nate, the Maitre D. He was so kind, personable and professional! Then came Valentin, our server, who was so friendly, knowledgable, and again, professional! The food was insane! A feast for the eyes and the senses! I loved that the restaurant was quiet, even though it was busy. This is a restaurant that knows what they're doing...and they're doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! I cannot wait to go back, and I'm telling everyone I know about our superb experience! Thank you for a great night!!“

“We went last night for my husband’s birthday. While the food was outstanding per usual, the service was deplorable. We waited 40 minutes before our order was taken and just sat with waters. Bread came after appetizers. Kids were completely done with their meals before adults received ours. Difficult experience with two small children. When we first got there, only three other tables had people at them so it wasn’t busy. Definitely expected better service.“

“Amazing comfort food. Super friendly service and great atmosphere. Definitely will be back soon.“

“Always wonderful! Great cocktails too.“

“My wife and I went for our Valentines dinner..
As usual everything was spot on...
▪︎ Food....never disappoints
▪︎ Service.... From the minute you walk thru the door till you walk out you feel like you're special
▪︎ Ambience... The place is big but cozy at the same time... Even had Barbershop Quartet singing“

“Happy Birthday Tammy! 40 looks great on you babe!!“

“Fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken Parmigiana was delicious. Mouth watering. The service was welcoming and fast. Would highly recommend.“

“Best pizza around. All of the dishes are fantastic!“

“First of all the food was amazing! We ordered things that we’re on the menu and off. They made everything perfectly. Second, the staff was so nice, Felipe was our waiter and he went above and beyond. Lastly, Arturo came to our table and chatted with us and brought us things to taste, plus my mom wanted a special dessert that she was hoping Arturo would make and he did it just for her. Delicious Samayon!“

“Ranan is the best server I have ever had. I was a server so I know we can walk in there and he doesn’t even have to ask us what we want to drink or what we want to eat what dressing we want our salads and he makes us laugh. Carrabba should have more servers like him.“

“With all the chain restaurants seemingly popping up on every corner and shopping center it’s easy to lose sight of independent restaurants. Today, my wife and I decided to visit an old-time favorite, Lasagna House and we certainly were not disappointed. Actually, our food and service blew away our expectations. We started with the sausage, peppers & onions appetizer followed by two great entrees - Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Scaloppine. OMG the fresh herbs, which are gown in the restaurant’s herb garden took every bite to a different level. Our server, Andrea ensured a totally great dining experience.“

“I use to be a regular here. Definitely miss it no doubt. I recommend to everyone.“

“My husband and I went last night to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The food and the service were wonderful! Sergio and his team were great and made our special occasion a happy one! Sorrento is definitely one of the best restaurants in H-town! ??“

“Enjoyed a delicious dinner/late Valentines celebration in the enclosed outdoor area. Quiet, great food, outstanding service. We had the arugula salad (delicious!) and shared the veal Osso buco.,great wine selection and tiramisu topped off the meal! Marvelous!“

“Bada Bing at last!! Someone can cook NY style food here in Houston 14 inch pizza awesome but the Ham and Cheese Calzone even better. Three course meal for two that will last all week!!“

“Stumbled across this restaurant this weekend and it was absolutely wonderful! Definitely will be a staple of ours :)“

“Had such a great experience at Piada Italian Street Food today! I ordered the carbonara with hot chicken. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. They even had heart-shaped noodles for Valentine’s Day, which was such a cute touch! Shoutout to Cam at the register and Donny & J who handled my food you all were so kind and welcoming. Great food and even better service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We always have a good meal and good times at Del Vista! The menu has so many of our favorites and always consistently prepared.“

“The flavor of the tomato sauce in the dishes I had was incredible. There are few restaurants that cook their dishes to perfection and this is one of them. Seriously, I wouldn’t change a thing about any of the recipes. Masterpiece cuisine at Roma. The flavors in the food here are so delightful. If you’re reading this, GO. Don’t think, just go now.“

“The food was great and prickly pear 🍐 is my favorite drink 🥤“

“Always a great meal great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful. Some of the best bourbons you will find and a fantastic wine list.“

“Recommended by 3 people at our hotel. The brick oven pizza was delicious and the service was excellent.“

“We enjoyed everything we had! Authentic and delicious! can't wait to come back.“

“Everything that I've had has been stellar. My favorites: Chicken Parm sandwich or plate, meat lovers pizza and the rigatoni campagnola.“

“Had an amazing Valentine’s dinner at
Da Marco. The atmosphere was elegant and romantic, service was top-tier, and every dish was outstanding. From the appetizers to dessert, you can see they truly care about quality and the overall dining experience. Perfect spot for a special night out!!
We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great service and food! Wine recommendations were on point. Loved my experience here!“

“There aren’t enough good words I can say about Antonio’s.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that you can bring everyone in your family to, this is it. If you aren’t from Houston and you grew up with that small mom and pop Italian place that had classic, delicious Italian food. This is that.

From the moment we stepped in to the moment we left, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone was friendly. The service was kind and fast. The food was delicious. DELICIOUS.

We ordered the calamari, chicken soup, kids chicken fingers, kids pizza, Chicken Franchese and Chicken Parm. Everything was excellent. Our kids loved the food.

This is like a little escape from the world. Good, classic food with a clean, friendly environment and reasonably priced. I can’t say enough good things. We will definitely be back. Maybe tomorrow. It was that enjoyable.“

“How have I never heard of this restaurant before now? I loved everything about it, from the connecting wine bar with a supreme menu to the friendly counter service in the restaurant, low key neighborhood vibe, and the most comforting Italian food in the city. This will undoubtedly be my new go-to place.“

“El servicio es realmente bueno y la comida es definitivamente de lo mejor que he probado en cuanto a cocina italiana se trata. Seguro volveré“

“Great location, enjoyable atmosphere, tasty food selections, and top notch service! We took afternoon stroll from JW and decided to try some Italian lunch out! Jon was our server and recommended excellent choice of cocktails, meals, and dessert! High recommend and ask for Jon!“

“Beautiful Restaurant. Food, desert, drinks, coffee amazing. Atmosphere and Staff amazing. Thank you Oliver and Jorge for making it such a special time. Appreciate the great service.💕🙏🏼“

“The best calamari and great food!“

“I was introduced to Palazzo's a few months ago by close friends who have been frequenting Palazzo's for years. Although I live 32 miles from this location, i don't hesitate to drive that distance to meet my friends for regular lunches there. Last week I was surprised to find out I have other friends who enjoy Palazzo's, who showed up the same day I was there. The service is very friendly and accommodating, but the 5 star rating I give is most especially for the delicious menu selections. Im always anxious to visit the Briar Grove location of Palazzo's.
I love Palazzo's, and I'm sure you will also share my 5 star rating. Try it! You'll not just like it, you'll love it! ❣️“

“Fabulous food and wine ! Lovely atmosphere and service. A must in Houston“

“Amazing food. Great service. A must.“

“I love the shrimp and crab linguini and the chocolate fudge pie for dessert.“
