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 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.“

“The food is good, the atmosphere is nice, but the lunch menu has gotten worse. Keeping a consistent lunch menu would keep customers coming back. I miss the hanger steak for lunch, I open the app and its just burgers and pork chops now. So I guess I'll just eat somewhere else, but thought I'd share my disappointment here. Maybe it was just too good to last“

“Mr. Quentin (manager) has definitely made a difference. Didn’t have to wait for refills or nothing! Kayla was my waiter. She was very nice and attentive. Upon leaving, I told the manger the paper towel dispenser in the women’s restroom was empty, they got right on it. Pleasant experience! Will definitely return!“

“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?“

“That mushroom and cauliflower pizza was a total win after the Rockets game tonight. The food is great, but let’s be honest, I am definitely the best thing you will see in Houston this evening. A confident guy should say hello and find out what you are missing.“

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

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

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

“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“

“Incredible experience here. For our first time our server Joey did an exceptional job at explaining everything to us and answering any questions we had. Food was phenomenal and not overbearing considering the portions were huge. Definitely making this place a once a month go to. Thank you Miltons for a lovely night“

“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 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.“

“I’m visiting Houston from Colorado and are so glad we found Magdelina! We had the calzone and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the best we’ve had. The whole experience was fantastic, and the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Definitely one of those places you’re happy to stumble across while traveling. We’ll absolutely be back next time we’re in Houston. Highly recommend!“

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

“I think their food is good.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious! I got the Pollo Milanese sandwich and a Watermelon Breeze mocktail, and both were amazing. The sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and so good, and the mocktail was super refreshing. The customer service was also amazing everyone was so kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend Cotto e Crudo, and I’ll be coming back!“

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

“Antonio’s is an icon in the pizza world, and its high ratings are well deserved! We tried the pepperoni pizza and the sausage and hamburger pizza, and both were absolutely delicious.

We also enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and tiramisu. Everything was outstanding, with that authentic, homemade Italian flavor that keeps you coming back for more.

Antonio’s was an awesome dining experience from start to finish. If you appreciate authentic New York-style pizza and traditional homemade Italian food, this is a must-visit. Highly recommend Antonio’s Flying Pizza to anyone looking for great food and a true Italian pizzeria experience!“

“I visited for the first time and had a great experience. The atmosphere and team energy were excellent. Alex was my bartender for the night, and the drinks were outstanding. Thank you for the great service, I will definitely be coming back!“

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

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

“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“

“Been to this location a couple times and their food is always dressy and flavorful. Specifically the hot crispy chicken paired with their pasta.Chef Morgan,Skylar and the team were helpful and offered great service and suggestions for first timers.

Highly recommend it this restaurant.“

“The food and staff are special, great vibe“

“Dear Palazzo Italian Restaurant Team,

I am writing to share my truly delightful experience during my inaugural visit to your establishment. From the moment I arrived, I was thoroughly impressed by the warm and inviting ambiance.

I had the distinct pleasure of sampling two dishes from your menu, and both were absolutely superb. The Pepperoni and Spinach pizza was a true highlight; its perfectly cooked crust, generous toppings, and the harmonious blend of savory pepperoni with fresh, vibrant spinach created an unforgettable flavor profile. Equally impressive was the Fettuccine Alfredo, which boasted a lusciously creamy sauce enveloping perfectly al dente pasta – a truly indulgent and satisfying classic.

My first visit was a resounding success, and I genuinely believe I have discovered a new favorite for authentic Italian cuisine. I eagerly anticipate my next opportunity to dine with you again and explore more of your exquisite offerings.“

“Everything we ordered was really good and tasted fresh! We had such a good experience, and our server Bisma was amazing. She was super sweet, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Great food and even better service! Definitely recommend.“

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

“I have recently discovered this place about three/four weeks ago and I have been back every week since then and probably eat there 3 or 4 times a week(I don’t like to cook jaja) The food here is absolutely incredible 🤤 I always get the hot chicken double order and I go back and forth with the Rigatoni pasta and just tried the salad and it was good. The food and the customer service/hospitality here is excellent as well….Every interaction with all the staff has been great but I haven’t been able to catch everybody's name but I would like to give a shoutout to HOLLY, LUIS, JOHN, ARIANA, ZACH, KADEN, RICH, & NINA….most of the time when I come in they are working and are always so friendly, smiling, and helpful 💯GIVE THEM A PAY RAISE💯 Good/Hard workers are hard to come by especially nowadays!! I appreciate you all for the great service and food keep up the excellent work ☺☺☺“

“Definitely the best pizza spot around! Very friendly and delicious food!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“I had a great experience at Pizzana! I tried the vegan Margherita pizza, and it was very good. I made a slight modification to fit my personal taste, but it was still absolutely delicious. Paired with a glass of wine, it made for a lovely experience. I stopped by during happy hour and was taken care of by Natalie, who was very sweet, laid-back, and welcoming. The overall atmosphere was classy, warm, and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy good food and wine. I would definitely recommend Pizzana to anyone looking for a nice place to dine, unwind, and try something new.“

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

“Beautiful Restaurant. Food, desert, drinks, coffee amazing. Atmosphere and Staff amazing. Thank you Oliver and Jorge for making it such a special time. Appreciate the great service.💕🙏🏼“

“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!“

“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“

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

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“Food was great, new owner was very friendly. Took time to visit and get to know you. Will definitely be going back often!“

“Great Halal food, good value for money.“

“Wow! Just wow! This green shakshuka one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten, and the bread is absolutely perfect!!! Shakshuka is served boiling like Israeli shakshuka should be. I have never had green shakshuka before. It is kind of a little like fondue. Sweet potatoe pasta sauce is great as well. The little automatic cotton candy machine is interesting. Not sure if anyone uses it though.“

“Incredible!!“
