36 Best Italian Restaurants near Friendswood

“Service was amazing & food was delicious! I've celebrated many birthdays here and it never disappoints! We were showered with great service and happy birthday messages from the manager, Drew (what an excited party guy!) and waitstaff. We will be back next year. My cousin works for Brinker & says a new menu is coming in November! Can't wait to see it! I also let him know about the great service. Great job Maggiano's!“

“Excellent food and service! Great wine selection. A must dine experience.“

“love the special pizza. staff have great customer service and they have bands in the weekend with famlies in mind“

“Perhaps the best Olive garden I've ever been to. They were jam-packed and super busy when I arrived on Friday night but they got me seated quickly and the wait staff did a great job of teamwork. Manager was always roaming about speaking with everyone. Highly recommend this location very well run“

“Exceptional customer service. Really good food! I recommend the burger. Nice cozy atmosphere.“

“takes you back in time when the owners really cared if you are pleased with your meal!“

“Ordered from DoorDash after looking at reviews there and here. The 8 Garlic Knots have a nice crispy outside and pillowy soft inside. Someone, somewhere, recommended they heat the marinara, and they listened. Overall, the Margherita pizza was okay. I ordered olive oil and garlic sauce because I don't like marinara on this pizza. The sauce was fresh. The crust was exactly what I was looking for. Crispy but also fluffy, I'm not finding the words, but if you know, you know. I think it has herbs sprinkled on it, and that reminds me of my favorite pizza joint back home. There was a good amount of tomato and cheese, not too much, not too little. The basil is where it's lacking. when you only have a three ingredient pizza, you should get more than one or two bites per slice that have all three ingredients in it. Maybe if I ordered for pick up or dine it it would have been different, I'm not sure. But, overall a solid pizza and one of the better Margherita pizzas I've had living here.
The only reason I didn't fill in a lot of the extras on the review is because DoorDash is always more expensive and I haven't been to the restaurant.“

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

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

“The atmosphere at Joe’s was peaceful and relaxing, and the food was absolutely amazing! The lunch portions were so generous that I had to take some home. The freshly baked bread was delicious, and the dipping oil was out of this world—you definitely have to try it. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, which was fantastic. Despite how busy it was, the staff was so kind and attentive. I’ll definitely be going back!“

“AMAZING! Best food in Houston! If there is anything close to this, I want to try it. My brother and I stopped in here and they treated us like family. There is nothing that i don't love about Angelo's Thank You!“

“They have great food! I love their hamburgers and the buns are great.“

“Second time coming here and both times were excellent!“

“It was a nice place food was great serving was huge host was super friendly“

“My husband and I had such a wonderful experience here tonight. From the moment we sat down, the service truly stood out. Our waitress, Courtney, was attentive, kind, and made us feel so welcome. The bartender, Alexa, even stopped by our table and was incredibly personable. She spoke so genuinely and passionately about the General Manager, Chris and the positive environment he’s created, it honestly moved me to tears. You could tell she feels truly blessed to work here, and that says everything about the culture behind the scenes.

Now for the food… the tomato basil soup was ah-mazing, comforting, flavorful, and easily one of the best I’ve had. My husband ordered the Meat-a-Baller and couldn’t stop talking about how good it was, so of course I had to sneak a bite (or three). He wasn’t wrong!

We’re also excited to see the upcoming expansion into the neighboring space, especially with plans for live music and karaoke. This is such a great spot for Alvin, Texas, and we can’t wait to come back and see it grow.

Highly recommend!“

“Can't stress enough how much I enjoy Pomodoro's of Clear Lake which is in a strip mall with plenty parking and wheelchair access. The interior is cozy and always reminds me of Italy and is excellent in all areas!! Like the "complimentary" garlic and olive oil spread are always delicious, and I have never had a bad meal. Service was professional, fast & friendly and our bartender / server checked in on us frequently Shoutout to the "owner: who is nothing but "awesome" she always is checking to make sure everything is to our satisfaction, which makes it a wonderful experience. The pizza, appetizers, and the main course meals are fresh and have been "fantastico" which came out quickly, coffee and the sangria were yummy. Seriously! I cannot wait to go back and enjoy more of their delicious food at a very reasonable price for such quality, I have eaten Italian food in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Rome, Naples and truthful can say absolutely, this is my favorite Italian restaurant in America to date!! Lastly, The restrooms were perfectly clean.“

“An Unforgettable Evening with Chef Louis
I cannot express enough how thrilled we are with Chef Louis and his grandsons. He prepared a magnificent four-course gourmet Italian dinner in our home for my husband's 60th birthday party, and it was perfection from start to finish.

Chef Louis and his grandsons worked tirelessly, operating with the skill of seasoned chefs under their grandfather's guidance. The food was sublime —it was a true masterclass in Italian cuisine.
My husband was absolutely thrilled, and we're so happy we chose Chef Louis for this special occasion. He showcased his best work as a chef, and we're grateful for the wonderful memories he helped us create. If you're looking for a professional, talented, and dedicated chef to bring the restaurant experience to your home, look no further than Chef Louis.“

“Every time I come to eat at this place, I feel so blessed by the quality of the food and the service, from the moment you arrive. It's a 5-star service. Thank you for your hard work and for giving your best. God bless you, and we will be back soon.“

“We went out for pizza before a fall festival with our 3 year old and 9 month old. Sat out on the patio and the kiddos had fun while we waited on food and pizza was good.“

“We love the Pizza Lounge!! The staff is great, the food is even better!! If you’re in Pasadena, stop in and check it out!“

“Veronica was the worst server I ever had in my life. She was so wastes. I didn't know you can drink on the job. Vodka has a smell. Breath strips doesn't cover the smell. I will definitely not be back. I asked for a manager and some little kid came to my table. This place is a joke.“

“Very good! First time trying them out on a whim. We had already dug in before I remembered to take some pics. Service was good, we did wait a while for the food but we definitely don’t mind that for good home cooled meals. My only complaint was that it was pretty hot in there, but it’s at least 95 out so sometimes there’s only so much you can do in an older building 🤷🏼‍♀️ food was fantastic! Boudin balls, burger, catfish all amazing. My husband got the baked ziti and it was great! Excited to come back and try more of their expansive menu.“

“I had just gotten off of a 3 hour flight and was hungry. The Big Boss Slice of pizza looked very delicious. Well, the picture shown on the menu and the piece of pizza I got were entirely different. I only had 3 pieces of Italian sausage of which none were on the slice of pizza. All three were laying beside the pizza in the box! All that I saw was pieces of pepperoni on the slice of pizza. When I took it back to the counter the employee said it was a slice of BIg Boss when I questioned if I was given the wrong order. I paid $7.85 for a slice of pepperoni pizza with a few bacon bits on it and three pieces of Italian sausage on the side! This place is a rip off!!“

“Guys let me tell you a little story after a little slow start someone pass thru my table and I ask if I could be help he did not other than the service manager at this location like always great food and today was exceptional he took care of us all the way thru drinks and delivered the food him self now that's service thank you (Sean Sullivan ) for great service in taking care of my self and my family is very much appreciated guys you know me everything is about service so I highly recommend specially if he is around great food didn't expect nothing else come and visit“

“We have gone before and it has been ok but recently they had an entire staff changeover. Today, the food was absolutely excellent. The meatballs were wonderful and the pizza was delicious. To top it off, our server, Tristian, was marvelous. Very courteous and attentive to our requests. If you have tried it and didnt like it....please give it another shot. The experience was delightful.“

“We very quickly added Parry's to our list of usual choices for dinner and lunch. They're our favorite for pizza now. It is a bit loud for our taste, so we do our best to visit in the off times between rushes. So far, every server we've had has been very welcoming, professional, and upbeat. That's a good sign. Our only recommendation is that they work on being more proactive when it comes to topping off drinks. That is an easy fix, though.
Give them a try if you haven't already done so. You won't be sorry.“

“Being born and raised North of Detroit and JETS being one of my favorite home town pizzas, I was nervous it wouldn’t be the same, but this location really exceeded my expectations! We had a large order that we traveled from Baton Rouge to get, it was ready on time, cooked correctly, and had that perfect grease soaked, crunch. If we are ever around this location again, we will definitely be back. Great job team and THANK YOU.“

“Got to check this place out for the first time on Easter. Really good food, amazing atmosphere, and friendly staff.“
