50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bellaire

“Delicious! Stumbled upon this place while visiting town for a day and will definitely be back.“

“We love coming here! We’ve been coming here regularly for a while. We love the staff and the food is consistently delicious!“

“Excellent food 😋 and great service! One of League City's hidden treasures.“

“The pizza tastes just like New York pizza. I got their lunch special (one slice and a drink for five bucks), which was a great because the pizza is nice and thick, so it’s really filling for one slice. The guy working there was super sweet, and the atmosphere was nice and clean. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“I usually don't review but this place deserves it. It was my first time eating here and it was amazing. Albert explained how every topping was made and the sauces. Also I have never had a pizza place that could do a pizza half/half with different sauces. Usually it's only toppings but same sauce when doing half/half. Making this my go to pizza place“

“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😍“

“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! ??“

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

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

“Love this hidden gem just outside Quail Valley neighborhood. Serves quality Italian food with a nice dining atmosphere for less than going into Houston and rarely a wait for a table. (I have business lunches here). The chicken parmesan is tasty and the portions are substantial. Have always liked whatever I order.“

“my favorite street pasta my order is always 10/10. customer service is impeccable
if u want to try something spicy this is my order
create your own: regular bowl
with spaghetti, as much diavolo sauce as they can give you, spicy chicken, pancetta, zucchini and mushrooms, spinach, extra broccoli, all of the cheeses SOOOOOOO good i love“

“This was our first visit, so my review is based on very limited experience. The bread service at the beginning is a fantastic selection including two each of hot seeded rolls right out of the oven, slices of sourdough, and a few of the best sesame seeded breadsticks in town. The endive salad was large and exceptionally good. The pastas are all made in house. My wife's veal parmesan was well made, comparable to the best versions in town. I had the King crab with squid ink spaghetti, Nduja, cherry tomatoes, and corn. It was good, but there was a bit too much going on in this dish. Nduja is great on a pizza, but over-powered the King crab. The squid-ink pasta was hidden by the tomato/nduja sauce. There was one medium size piece of King crab. If they want to feature the crab and black pasta then I think they would do better with a less complex and aggressive combination of elements: perhaps, a light sauce of garlic, olive oil, and parsley with a touch of saffron cream. The wine list included a good selection of wines from California, France, Italy, and Spain. We had a nice Priorat which is not that common to find on Houston wine lists. It was excellent at a reasonable price. Our waitress, Kimberly, was exceptionally good. She knows her menu very well and struck the right balance between attention and leaving us alone. She gave us a complimentary slice of olive oil cake, which I had heard about but never had before. It is a light and pleasant way to end a meal. Thank you Kimberly. Overall, it is a nice, quiet, somewhat dark, restaurant with a good wine list at reasonable prices. I like any place that makes fresh pasta. Next time I will try a more traditional or subdued dish like the Bolognese or gnocchi, or perhaps Branzino.“

“We enjoy Laurenzo's because of the prime rib, the consistency of their quality and have never been disappointed by the service. Six of us for a birthday dinner and the table was ready when we arrived and we all had a wonderful experience.“

“Always wonderful! Great cocktails too.“

“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!“

“We had a family of 8 arrive for a birthday dinner last night. The staff was very welcoming and polite. The food and service were outstanding. Well worth the drive from Spring to try some authentic Italian food. Keep up the great work!“

“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“

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

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

“Amazing food and impeccable service!“

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

“Chef Jada is fantastic. I made a large order for my organization and they went above and beyond to help me find my way around the Medical Center, to get my order to me in time for my meeting, and to accommodate me safely getting all the food into my truck. She helped me with a smile on her face, which was very comforting because the medical center this time of day has insane traffic and I was stressing. Be sure to give her and her team raises and big fat holiday bonuses.“

“It's expensive but veeeeerrrrry good and worth it. Only gave service 4 because I had to search for guys refilling water when I needed it but I also drink a lot of water so not really their fault. Atmosphere was great and our server was awesome. Great personality and on point. Will def be going back“

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

“Really great experience — great food and great service. At the price point, it stands alone for value. I'm not saying it's cheap — it's not. But, other than not having tablecloths, and being a place where people bring children, this kind of food (non-pizza) and service costs about 50% more inside the loop. If you are going for pizza, then double the value point because this is really great food and service for the price. It's really higher end service in terms of attentiveness and the changeout of your plates and silverware. Again — really great!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Food is always delicious! I haven't found a dish yet, that I don't like. Ultimate favorite desert is the Banana Foster! I can't go here without ordering it. Ambiance is top tier and service is perfection. It's fine dinning with a comfy feel. This place is a must stop if you are in the River Oaks district or craving Italian.“

“Excellent experience. Love the food.“

“Very good pizza. Rio de Janeiro is the best. You need try.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite places to eat dinner or lunch.“

“I’ve always wanted to try this place, and I’m so glad we finally did! From the moment we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout.

Best of all—the food was absolutely delicious. We had the traditional cheese and traditional sausage pizzas, and both were fantastic. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite.

Highly recommend! 5 stars all the way around.“

“First time dining here definitely not the last!
Our waiter Eduardo was fantastic..... We asked him to surprise us with an appetizer as we couldn't decide which to have and he did not disappoint.
The food was excellent from starter to dessert.“

“Don’t let the old reviews fool you—this restaurant is a true hidden gem. The indoor-outdoor atmosphere is effortlessly charming, with cozy lighting and a relaxed elegance that makes you want to stay awhile. The food is the real standout: Italian classics prepared with creativity and care, from perfectly al dente handmade pastas to bold, thoughtful flavor combinations that go beyond the expected. Service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. If you’re craving elevated Italian in a beautiful setting, this place is absolutely worth a visit.“

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

“This was my first visit in honor of Houston Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Caesar salad, penne Stefano, and the banana pudding. It was ALL amazing. This quick stop intrigued me enough to make plans to return to try their shrimp scampi or sausage panni“

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