50 Best Italian Restaurants near Missouri City

“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! 🥰“

“We went Friday night for thr first time and had a great experience! Ordered the Garlic bread and Chicken parmesean. The food well well seasoned, portioned and fresh. Service was excellent and the Limoncello cocktail was very refreshing. Can't wait to try weekend brunch and other menu items!“

“We had the best server! Ask for Billie! This was the first time we come to a restaurant that the server packed our food for us. Besides that he put effort into understanding and speaking Spanish with my family. Sincerely the best server Olive Garden has had! Ask for billie!“

“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?“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

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

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

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

“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“

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

“Amazing food and impeccable service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great service and food! Wine recommendations were on point. Loved my experience here!“

“Great location, enjoyable atmosphere, tasty food selections, and top notch service! We took afternoon stroll from JW and decided to try some Italian lunch out! Jon was our server and recommended excellent choice of cocktails, meals, and dessert! High recommend and ask for Jon!“

“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.“

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

“Great place - not noisy -- great food and extremely friendly service. We've made this our "go-to" eatery. You can't go wrong.“

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

“Oh my goodness, what’s not to say about this place? Tavola was PHENOMENAL. The service from our server, Tristen, was lovely. We came on an evening where you roll dice for custom Negronis, and that was so fun to participate in. The drinks were beyond delicious. The antipasti we had and our entrees were amazing. The establishment is visually stunning and the atmosphere is elevated and welcoming.
We came celebrating a life event, and the only disappointing thing was we were told there was a complimentary desert, but it was never given. We didn’t want to be a bother of course, so we didn’t ask. Other than that, I have nothing to say but praise for this dining experience.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“We visited Rafaello Pizza & Coffee for the first time a few days ago when we wanted to eat pizza and we discovered it was quite close to us. We arrived at 11:30pm and they close at midnight. I said it was an order to go since they were about to close, but the very friendly lady told us that we could sit down. We ordered a Rafaello's Pizza for $34 (we were a party of 3), and we loved it! A little pricey, but it was worth it. Today I went again, we ordered Rafaello's Pesto Pasta and a Caprese. So far what I liked the most was the pizza, you should try it! They have a cozy and family atmosphere“

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

“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!“

“The best halal pizza. 100% tastes amazing Italian.“

“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“

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

“Great service and excellent choice of food selection
My server Ronald was very own point inaccurate when it came to food options and choices on the menu
Is customer service was very super and I experienced a great vibe with him.
Very polite and mannerable.
Excellent job!!!!“

“Quick Friday dinner. Waitress was friendly and checked on us often. Ordered egg plant parmigiana and lobster ravioli. Had good flavor. Lobster raviolis after a while the richness of the sauce began to taste salty. The Brad brought to the table was mediocre. We had also ordered the artichoke and spinach dip - way too much cheese and not enough spinach. We did have ask for a wine list. We may return but it may be our back up dinner plan place to go to. The restaurant is cute and all but rather crowded and tables are rather close to each other.“

“Very nice service top notch will come again“

“It was a great experience Loved the birthday celebration treat Cotton Candy 🍭“
