50 Best Italian Restaurants near Missouri City

“We happened upon Alex last year and it has become a favorite with us and our family. Italian inspired menu - but I have enjoyed everything I have had - fish steak scallops - I have recently been ordering what ever the daily special is - always a winner! Also perhaps the best brussel sprouts I have ever had. Do not sleep on their wine menu and bar. Really outstanding selection of bourbons and quality cocktails. Don’t let the exterior fool you - this is one of the Houston area hidden gems. Fine dining in a strip mall is Missouri City - yup that is exactly what it is.“

“So my husband and I went for dinner. The food was fantastic. Fresh, tasty, and hot. I got almost all the way through and there was a small piece of saran wrap in my pasta. I hate to complain , but having worked in food service I understand the importance of notifying staff. So I notified the manager and asked her to only remove my entree from them the check. We were very surprised when she compd our entire meal. I only share this to give a shout out for exemplary customer service. So many places are lacking true customer service and WE WILL definitely be back soon. Thank you. Highly recommended !!!“

“My husband and I had date night tonight and decided to go to one of our fav spots, again. We've been going to Brandani's for almost 10 years. As always...our experience was superb, so I am taking a moment to give a review:). We're ALWAYS happy. The staff is top notch, the menu is consistently delish, we love the atmosphere, and it's a sweet bonus to be greeted by the Brandani's themselves. Whenever we find ourselves free to have a date night we can always rely on Brandani's for a lovely evening. Well, I somehow bumped my glass of red wine and it splattered all over my face and shirt tonight...but because the Brandani staff is so wonderful and we feel at home, it was easy to laugh off and continue to enjoy our evening together. Ha. Two thumbs up. As always! 🥰“

“Had such a great experience at Maximiliano’s thanks to the hostess, Jazhlyn! From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. She was organized, friendly, and made sure we were seated quickly even though the restaurant was busy. You can tell she cares about the guests and the atmosphere of the place. Her positive attitude really set the tone for the whole meal. Excellent service right from the entrance—Jazhlyn definitely makes the experience better. Highly recommend stopping by! 🌟🍽️😊“

“Pizza is good but the place STINKS like a sewer. They claimed they fixed the issue but I want back after a long wait. Sewer gas makes me gag. Who wants food made in a place that smells like that? I’m complaining because it should be taken care of. Has a health inspector been in?“

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

“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.“

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and I cannot tell you how pleased we were. Food was amazing, the place is gorgeous and our server Grace was so thoughtful. I’m not surprised how great it was as every one of this restaurant group’s concepts is top notch. Maximo was incredible as well and local foods is our go to.“

“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“

“quick easy fast order food is good & prices are decent“

“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.“

“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!“

“Michelin level food!! Highly recommend the (off the menu) Pan Seared Red Fish!! It was so fresh, perfectly cooked, with a light crisped edge. The sauce was superb. You could taste the freshness and skill that it took to create such a fabulous dish.
This place is a hidden gem and the food is off the chain!! The owner & chef stopped by our table and told us how he prepares some of his dishes, fresh (hand prepared) daily. We had both had the pan seared red fish with shrimp and calamari.
The deserts are out of this world! The chef recommended (I forgot the name) a lemon cake with his hand crafted gelato. There are no words to describe how good this was! Everything he makes is handcrafted!
We cannot wait to go back and try more things off of the menu and when our kids come in town we’ll be back again bringing them too!!
Oh and it was my birthday, my husband didn’t request anything, but they were so attentive, they brought my dessert with a birthday candle and happy birthday wishes!! Bravo to the Chef and the wait staff! Keep up the excellent work!“

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

“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.“

“I think their food is good.“

“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.“

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

“Nikki is Terrific!! Just like the food at Carrabas Sugar Land.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ❣️“

“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“

“Chef Rachel is so sweet yall!!! She literally made my day today. I'm a student in the area and lord knows I needed a smile after the exam I took today. Amazing energy and I always feel so much better after I leave here. I come here all that time and don't plan on stopping anytime soon💖“

“Thank you for serving our large group in one of your private rooms. It is not always easy to find vegan choices, but you had a wonderful selection with attentive servers and we well enjoy coming back!“

“Delish! Great service! Our waitress Friend was awesome! Great ambiance! ❤️“

“Very disappointing experience visiting this location. The waiter,Scott S serve the food and after He forget about us totally just to come back asking if we had finished I told him that we had indeed. I heard him saying ,on my back, the words "anger management" referring that to me. I understand the restaurant was crowded but you don't make distinctions with your costumers in spite the color, race or how bad is your English. And , by the way, if I need anger management Scott needs civility classes to learn how to treat people equally“

“It’s the cheese pull for me!! If you found them on IG, like I did… I promise you, everything was as delicious as it looks! Every bite was delicious. It was made to order right there on the spot. And the staff were SO friendly and accommodating. Fresh. Authentic. Homemade. I had the spaghetti and meatballs (which were delicious and HUGE) and the fried mozzarella. Next time I’ll go earlier so I can catch the 1lb stuffed meatball before they sell out. Def will be going back and back and back. Highly recommend!“

“This isbone place I truly enjoy. The food is prepared well, great presentation and the Main Manager, Ms. Virginia, there is absolutely Amazing. She is most accommodating and goes out of her way, to ensure gour visit is Perfectly satisfied 😌“

“Very nice service top notch will come again“

“Went first time a couple weeks ago . Nothing but delicious. Cozy. Great fast service.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review We had a wonderful dining experience at Coppa Osteria, nestled in the heart of Rice Village. From start to finish, everything was exceptional and absolutely worth returning for. We began with the Fritto Misto and Tre Burri as appetizers both were flavorful, perfectly prepared, and a great way to start the meal. For our main entrées, we enjoyed the Mushroom Ravioli, Pollo alla Erba, and the Linguine alla Scampi. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, authentic Italian flavors. To finish on a high note, we had the Moclata Bread Pudding, which was the perfect dessert warm, indulgent, and delicious. The service truly elevated the experience. Joe took fantastic care of us and made the evening even more enjoyable with attentive and friendly service. If you’re in Rice Village and looking for a restaurant, you’ll want to come back to again and again, Coppa Osteria is a must.“

“We have been loyal customers for over 20 years. Napoli has always been my go to spot for Italian. I have a few favorite dishes that I will always get. Only thing is- during the pandemic the quality of the food changed and the portions became smaller. We’ve been having more disappointing experiences than positive lately. But when you look at the circumstances it’s understandable. Out of 20 plus years, this is the first time there’s been a noticeable inconsistency. We still love Napoli! Definitely a place to try!“

“The food and waitstaff are amazing!!“

“the food was absolutely delicious“

“I decided to try Olive Garden for the first time, and I was sooo impressed! I got the steak with the fettuccine alfredo and my grandparents got the tour of Italy. We also got the salad, gnocchi soup, and the breadsticks. I heard the breadsticks were amazing and I ate like 10 of them, it’s sooo good! The soup and the entrees were amazing, left very very full. The calamari I also got and it was heaven! Service was good, he came by every 5 mins to make sure we were good and atmosphere was amazing! Will be back!!!“

“For my 63rd birthday, the Mrs and I took a trip to the Olive Garden on the other side of town to treat ourselves, and boy were we in for a real treat! We recieved grade A service from our waiter (waitress?) Hassan who looked like a boy but had very long hair and a mysterious foreign name, making it difficult to discern if he was a trandsgender (I support trandsgender ideology my granddaughter is a trans boy). I requested a Casu martzu which I recall eating at this establishment on a number of occasions and was told by Wassack that they did not, nor did they ever serve this dish, so I politely informed him that he was lying. After escalating with his manager, it became apparent to me that everyone in this establishment was attempting to convince me I was insane and that they did not serve this dish. My wife was very confused and distressed, but that was likely just the dementia. Wisso thought quick on his feet and was able to offer up a number of possible alternatives, and so I went with the stuffed chicken marsala which was exquisite. My only serious gripe with the experience was the speed and efficiency of the bread stick refills, which left a lot to be desired. My wife has trouble remembering what she's eaten so she will scarf down one after another if you do not tell her to stop, and I've got quite the appetite myself, so our waiter Hamas had difficulty keeping up. He (she?) was able to talk me into a desert after the Mrs stepped away to the ladys room and the cheesecake was delicious, nobody tell my doctor! My wife seemed to be taking her time so I decided to order a second serving of cheesecake, and after finishing, I was alerted by the wait staff that my wife had gotten lost on her way back from the restroom and was now harassing other customers and was then asked to leave the establishment. I guess the Franiel's are just too much party for the OG! I asked Wammus on the way out about the Casu Martzu and his poker face wavered for a bit, so I am onto him. Overall, we had a wonderful night out and I hope to be back for my 64 b-day! 5 stars.“
