12 Best Italian Restaurants near Texas City

“I'm craving seafood and the wife's wanted Italian so end up going to Olive Garden. I love the fact that they provide free bread sticks. they're delicious. After the soap and bread sticks I could hardly finish my Salmon. This place is great, everybody were friendly and surprisingly managers are out and about greating people. I am sure to come back whenever I'm in town visiting.“

“Magarita was such a pleasure to be served by. Her recommendations were spot on and she was so great with checking on us just enough. She recommended adding grilled shrimp to the black truffle pasta. Chef's kiss!! Will be returning on our next trip back to the beach“

“The best food in the area! Really good menu. And everything we ate was top tier! The owner Ms.Dee is super friendly. Apps were awesome I suggested the almond crusted shrimp or the Thai lettuce wraps. The mains were superb! You won’t find better food in the area. Going back today to try their pizzas!“

“It embarrasses me as a BOI who lived in Galveston for 27 years to say that the first time I ever ate at Mario's Ristorante was a few nights ago. I've gone down 61st countless times, but not once have I ever set foot inside this longtime Italian culinary institution. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ordered from here, either. Mario's was on my radar for the evening on Wednesday after I toured the new Ball High (Class of 2000). I failed to resist the siren song of the dinner buffet, which takes place every Wednesday from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. For about $17, diners could have their pick of the five or so pizzas in addition to entrees, pasta, salads, and deserts. I decided to have a slice of each pizza -- cheese, pepperoni, supreme, meat lovers, etc. -- since I was a newbie to the establishment. The slices were the usual hand tossed and not too thick. The cheese-to-toppings ratio was pretty even. Fortunately, I enjoyed each, so much so that I felt stuffed as I worked on my third slice. After pizza, I assembled a plate consisting of fried fish, potatoes, spaghetti and meatballs, and chicken pasta. My taste buds were continuously treated to straight-up Old World Italian deliciousness. I couldn't get enough of the fried fish and chicken pasta. It took me a while to finish the spaghetti because I was beyond the point of full. I had no choice but to forego the chicken masala and seafood rice pilaf. Mario's, which has existed since 1967, has the undeniable feel of an old school pizzeria. Guests can actually feel the warmth emanating from the kitchen as well as the staff. When dining in, be sure to ask for Wyatt. He'll make you feel right at home. Whitney is another person you ought to get to know also. I believe that a lot of my Wednesday evenings will be spent here.“

“Delicious food, great service and recommendation last night by Sam. Thank-you!“

“We had dinner reservations for the wine room on 8/9/26 to celebrate a family birthday. Clarissa was our server and the service provided was fantastic. She is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The food was great and the atmosphere perfect for our evening. This is the second year we have requested this table to celebrate this particular birthday because the seating and location are perfect for a family gathering. We are regular customers of Pomodoro's but usually dine in their bar area.“

“Miguel is amazing and always helpful. He is the main reason we continue to return to this specific location. The food is great too. We highly recommend this location.“

“Amazing service!!!!! Love it“
