La Griglia Reviews
Food was delicious and service superb 👍👍👍
This is a fantastic place to dine. Not sure why they moved from the old location, but if it’s possible they made it even better. Please be aware, they enforce the dress code, so make sure you look good. We started with the SHRIMP & CRAB ‘CHEESECAKE’ Baked mascarpone, jumbo lump crab, shrimp, lemon pesto.

In my personal opinion, the outdoor seating tables offered the most romantic dinner experience I've ever had in Houston, aligning perfectly with my vibe.

La Griglia is a superb ristorante located fairly close to downtown Houston. The locale is lovely, and the dining room is beautifully appointed. The food is excellent, beautifully served by an attentive and very congenial waitstaff. The cuisine is exquisite, with beautifully presented dishes using excellent ingredients, such as the magnificent Crab and Shrimp "cheesecake" slice made with Mascarpone. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and elegant, making it perfect for both special occasions and indulgent nights out. The patio offers a great spot to enjoy the breeze and fans, adding to the overall charm.
The restaurant is rated as one of the best in Houston for a reason. The service is generally impeccable, with attention to detail second to none, although some reviews mention occasional delays in taking orders or serving food. The sommelier knows what they are doing, and the food is absolutely superb—unique and perfectly presented. Standout dishes like the red snapper, short ribs pasta, and table side pasta highlight the menu, all cooked and presented beautifully. The dessert menu is equally impressive, with options like tiramisu, cheesecake, and chocolate cake.
Guests often find the atmosphere very elegant and the food fabulous, with many praising the overall experience. Some find the service can be inconsistent, especially on busy nights, with staff sometimes chatting or standing around instead of attending to tables promptly. Despite this, many visitors consider La Griglia a great restaurant, with some saying it offers some of the best food they've ever had. Overall, it combines elegance, great energy, and consistently delicious food in one exceptional dining experience. It is highly recommended for anyone seeking refined Italian cuisine in a stylish setting.
