50 Best Italian Restaurants in Houston

“Wow. I can’t believe it took me so long to find this place. They’ve been open for 2 years now. We stopped by during Happy Hour and tried as much as we could. The Pane was delicious. We also went with the Crochette. The “salsa verde” was fabulous and the perfect pairing to the sourdough bread. The wine recommended was awesome. For the main course we split the risotto and the lamb chops. 5-Stars all the way. We will be back!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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😍“

“My first visit to Pizza Birra Vino was a total win. Danilo was incredibly welcoming, and the whole experience just felt easy and delicious. I tried the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich and loved it, and they surprised me with a complimentary cannoli for being a first-timer. I’m already planning to come back, and I’m excited to place a corporate order with them soon.“

“Had a wonderful time at Milton's. Had the arancini, pickled fried onions, heart of palm salad, gnocchi, shrimp scampi, and tiramisu and everything was incredible. Shrimp scampi was the best I've ever had. Our server was very knowledgable and helpful. Look forward to coming back.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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! ??“

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

“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.“

“For those who were confused like me - what Italian “street food” supposed to be: it’s not street food - it’s just fast food. But it tasted good enough for a quick lunch!
Similar to chipotle concept, you can configure your own pasta/salad bowl or a wrap (piada). Can recommend their signature items!“

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

“Always wonderful! Great cocktails too.“

“Service was great, ambiance was nice. Food was cooked correctly and tasted great. We came in during my birthday week but didn't tell anyone. I had signed up for their rewards program previously which had asked for my birthday. The table was set for a birthday celebration which was really nice. Also, they brought out cake and ice cream with a birthday candle included. We will be returning.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“This beautiful restaurant was prefect for the parents, grandparents, and 16-month old to enjoy delicious Italian food for a special occasion. The octopus appetizer was to die for. The broccoli rabbe and leek and pancetta pizzas, seafood pasta, and chicken cacciatore were great. The ambiance and friendly chef made the night special. Not too expensive, not cheap. This place is a gem. My family will return!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

“For 54 years, Antonio’s has been more than a restaurant—it’s been a tradition. Their iconic pizza sign has guided generations to some of the best Italian food you’ll ever taste.

The pizza is unmatched: a perfect crust, rich sauce, and fresh toppings that set the standard. Every dish, from pasta to antipasti, carries the same care and authenticity.

Warm, welcoming, and timeless, Antonio’s isn’t just about food—it’s about family, community, and memories. After all these years, it’s clear why Antonio’s is truly legendary.“

“We had an amazing dinner tonight. Had reservations & ended up having to wait longer than expected but the staff made up for it with service. The ambiance of the restaurant, the taste of the kitchen & attention to detail to quality was exceptional. We will return and look forward to our next dinner with you.“

“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“

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

“Excellent food and authentic Italian food and cuisine. The food was delicious and great service. I was finally able to enjoy this resturant after many years and I will go back again. Prices are high but the food and service are top class. The imported from Italy branzino for 2 was amazing and cooked to perfection and serve with vegetables. Very simple cook and condiment that elevate the taste of the fish.“

“Amazing food. Great service. A must.“

“The food and service is exceptional. We've only been there twice but Iris and John our servers were outstanding. We actually thought about having dinner there after an incredible lunch. Thanks for perfection.“
