It was not crowded when we went around lunchtime. The atmosphere is relaxing, no bright lights. The staff was sparse so service was a little unenthusiastic, but friendly. I love that they have a vegetarian lasagna.It wasn't quite as hot as when I ordered it for dinner once before.

I have been going to this restaurant since 2020 and I can tell anybody that goes to this restaurant that it is by far my number one favorite Italian restaurant. The food is authentic, the service is amazing, the prices for the portions are great. Being a New Yorker and experiencing Italian food in Texas doesn’t compare, but this restaurant is just like if you were in an Italian restaurant in New York City. I love the atmosphere and the mood that the restaurant sets making it a hidden gem in Houston. I believe this restaurant should be given more recognition than what it has.

We had about 50 people in our party and Jose and staff were very accommodating. They reserved the left side of the restaurant and everyone felt comfortable. The food and service was on point. Very flexible staff.

First time eating here for lunch. The bread was nice and warm. I ordered Chicken Grilla Pasta. The vegetables were good, but the chicken was tough.

Reviews like this are tough to write. There is so potential, but I’m doubtful things will change as the business has been open for many years. I got a “set in our ways vibe”.This once bustling shopping center, has turned into a desolate area. I wouldn’t be surprised to see tumbleweeds. The entrance itself, is grand. You walk up a few steps to see patio seating on either sides of the entry doors.They also have a ramp for handicap needs. My first issue was the specials board placed outside. Instead of reading specials, or welcoming you into the establishment, it’s simply states to not leave valuables in your car. Not a warm and fuzzy feeling. We went for an early dinner on this particular day, so it was not busy. Only one other table of two were in the restaurant. We were immediately greeted and seated by our waiter. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and helped with suggestions from the menu. He told us he had been there 29 years. The space itself has so much potential. There’s a beautiful mural of old world Italy on a large wall. The lighting is low and intimate. They have decorative wine cellars separating the bar area from the regular eating space. Unfortunately, boxes stacked behind a high backed booth seating area on the opposite corner of the restaurant, took away from the beautiful mural. It was definitely a storage area for wine boxes. As we waited for our drink orders to arrive, I noticed the music did not fit the environment. Britney Spears, Huey Lewis, Maroon 5, and other pop artists played overhead. I would expect an Italian restaurant to have more themed music. Sounds of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin would have been very welcomed. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. They were very good. They were large and had a tasty cream sauce. Four to a plate, which was perfect to split between the two of us. While we talked and enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine, we looked over the menu and decided to ask our server for suggestions. He was very helpful. He suggested the Chicken Jerusalem for me since I was in the mood for a creamier sauce. Turns out, there was both cream sauce and marinara sauce, so I got the best of both worlds. The food itself was pretty good. The garlic bread was the best. For my aunt and I to dine that evening, the bill was $161 before tip. This was three glasses of wine for each of us an appetizer, our meal, an order of garlic bread, and one tiramisu. I felt the prices were a little high. My aunt had a steak which was $35 by itself. She did not feel it was that great, so at least my meal was better than hers. Before leaving, I headed to the restroom to check out that space. Ceiling tiles were removed and wires exposed, there was trash on the floor, the toilet was not solidly positioned to the floor, and the countertops were littered with debris and extra water.It’s such a shame to have great service and decent food, but have it ruined for things like music and atmosphere. My hope is for someone to see this review and tweak a few things that would be beneficial for their business. Unfortunately, unless I hear things have changed, I will not return. we still tipped our waiter 20%. Like I said, he was a good waiter. Maybe the restaurant is just a little too complacent.

The service is terrible, they are super classist and super racist, that is, they treat you according to your image without knowing the person.

A quiet little Italian place tucked in an off shopping center in Westheimer. The food is delicious - one of my favorite places for pizza and Italian basics. The service is friendly and attentive. The vibe is a bit sleepy - I have a feeling this place caters to the lunch rush for all the surrounding businesses. Dining in is quiet (which is our go to when we don't want to cook, but also don't want to hassle with a loud restaurant), but service is friendly and wine list is decent. Definitely recommend the pizza! Their bread is also amazing.
