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.“

“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! 🥰“

“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“

“I am no stranger to Olive Garden. I'm a pasta and bread lover, and it's one of my favorite places to eat.

Tonight, my family of four came in for dinner, and I have to say this was the first time in a very long time that I've had such poor service. If I could give the service negative five stars, I would.

Unfortunately, Marcus was our server, and he was not attentive. He was very brief with us and often walked away before we had the chance to ask for anything else. He dropped off our food and immediately rushed off without checking on us. About an hour into our meal, my husband had to ask for a refill on his water.

We also ordered a bottle of wine, but instead of pouring it into our glasses, Marcus simply dropped everything off and walked away. When he grated cheese over our meals, he didn't ask when we wanted him to stop. He just stopped when he felt like it and walked away.

On a positive note, the food was excellent. My husband ordered the Steak and Shrimp Calabrian cooked medium rare, and I ordered the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo, also medium rare. Both meals were prepared perfectly, and we had no complaints about the food.

Overall, dinner was enjoyable because of the quality of the food, but the service was extremely disappointing. We will definitely be back because we love Olive Garden—I just hope Marcus isn't our server next time.“

“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.“

“The pizza is delicious and you can definitely tell the ingredients are fresh, this is one of the only authentic Chicago style deep dish in Houston that i could find. The crust is perfect, the sauce is delicious, the cheese tastes natural. The service was excellent, the only thing i would change about the atmosphere is better seating, but I understand the place is small with minimal space for actual tables. The prices are decent as well. I definitely recommend trying.“

“Hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a very long time. The atmosphere, service, food, all of it was 10/10! Our waiter, Ryan, made the experience even better. He was super knowledgeable about the menu, flavors, and went above and beyond to provide great service. We got the focaccia, broccolini Caesar, Creste di galli, and chicken parm. Each dish was packed with flavor and amazing. Another cool aspect is watching all the action in the kitchen. We can’t wait to go back and try out other menu items. Highly recommend!“

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

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“What is strange; you ask?

Well, I go to some of the finest restaurants in Houston and the world and somehow this place remains a hidden secret when people come up with lists of the best places.

Eli was the pizza slinger and he has
Been tossing that pizza at Antonio’s longer than you have likely been alive.

The crust is amazing. The food - OH MYYYY.

Edwardo was the epitome of world class waiter.

The chicken Alfredo ???? MY GOSH SO CREAMY ITS DREAMY!!

Just simply the best kept Sicilian secret in the country.

I don’t even know if I want the word out. I sort of just want this place all to myself.

A Nobu 10 star restaurant!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I think their food is good.“

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

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my experience at Barcello! The pepperoni pizza is delicious and definitely one of my favorites. 🍕 The service was also great, especially thanks to our waiter Stanley. He was very friendly, attentive, and professional. Great place with delicious pizza and excellent service!“

“The chef I believe her name is Donnie was incredibly helpful and kind in helping me order. I’d never been before and she explained the entire menu. Ended up getting the carbonara and the food is amazing aswell. The portion sizing is great too. Best location and best food“

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

“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“

“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 ☺☺☺“

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

“The food and staff are special, great vibe“

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

“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!“

“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.💕🙏🏼“

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

“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.“

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

“I walked in and the vibe was pretty cool. I was immediately greeted by the hosts, who were friendly yet efficient. My server, Yani, was attentive and even made some nice small talk when the rush died down. Overall pretty cool and worth coming again.“

“The pizza (get the alfredo sauce)and lasagna were so delicious! The service was impeccable! We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Incredible!!“

“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.“

“Great Halal food, good value for money.“

“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!“
