Great food everytime Ive gone here. But something always goes wrong when I go here and it has to do with the service. overall, I'd recommend this place. PS- don't get the banana pudding pie at night

Another delectable spot here in Houston. The gnocchi was clearly fresh and homemade . The gnocchi was more Southern Italian, but still delicious. The dessert cart was a classic memory as well !

I can already say great things about the meatball appetizer . It gets the Ed seal of approval as one of the very best in town . Wonderful flavors!

Ed

The veal with mushrooms and artichokes is delightful. The fried risotto is a great side.

The service is very good. Montepulcciano wine is available. The salads are not outstanding and rather quite simple. Cakes are huge for dessert .

Clam Bianca pasta with chili and garlic is amazing. Make sure to ask for it al dente

The hand rolled pasta was SLIGHTLY overdone but otherwise a great place for a date night in Houston.

Dinner was fabulous and so was the service. It was a bit noisy but otherwise very nice. I will definitely return.

Lunch specials are a fantastic way to sample their menu. Don't load up on their yummy bread . :) Parking can be a hassle at night. If you don't valet, park closer to the CVS.
