We came here for our first dinner in Houston and it was the perfect dining experience after our work event. Kyle was our server and he was the best (!!) and really made the experience. We were incredibly well taken care, best service I've had in a while. From door to check we were happy with everything. The ambiance is perfect for a more intimate dinner setting with lit candles at every table. We ordered the house made rosemary focaccia (so so good - I recommend dipping in the truffle butter), rigatoni, and carbonara. A very nice lady came over once our food arrived and poured the sauce on the carbonara and mixed it up at our table. Our drinks were amazing as well, one of the better Hugo spritz I've had. Overall 10/10, reached beyond my expectations

Took my mom here tonight for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! The service was amazing ! I forgot to take photos of the food but I ordered the Chicken Parmesan. Our waiter was so sweet and attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and it was not too busy. We were able to have a bit more intimate family time which we loved!

My new favorite place!!! Service was a little slow at first but very attentive once our order was taken. I had the carbonara pasta and it is my new favorite as a carbonara connoisseur. I would say it is the best in Houston. We tried the Houston restaurant week menu and everything was delicious! Highlights go to the burrata tartufo and the salmon with vegetables. We look forward to going back!

Best pizza on a patio in town! Crust so crunchy. Large patio and fun to people watch. Server today was great and knew the drinks, offered me Monkey 47 for my G & T so awesome! Fritto is so crunchy and good amount of pasta and I love the fennel. Creste pasta good. Prices are the higher side, but it's in an upscale area and we really enjoyed our date tonight. Highly recommended for their super crispy pizza!

Excellent pasta made from scratch. We loved both dishes that we ordered. The Pappardelle was extremely tasty with a very savory sauce, fried guanciale, and mushrooms. The creste di gallo bolognese was good but transformed to incredible after I added more butter, olive oil and Parmesan cheese. The Focaccia bread with a variety of butters and the mushroom arancini were delicious appetizers. The Caesar salad was decent. The drinks took about 15 minutes to come out but the food arrived in a timely manner. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant but I would try to avoid sitting in the middle next time because of the heavy traffic. The pizza looks great and I want to go back to try that and some of the other pasta dishes.

Stopped by for the first time and had a great experience. The menu has a lot to offer. The portions are huge, and the prices are fair. The place was pretty busy when we arrived, but the staff was friendly, and the service was fast. The inside of the restaurant was a bit dim and intimate, so we decided to sit outside. The place is kid friendly and has a child menu with a good range of options. We decided to try the meatballs al forno and tre burri; both were a great choice for appetizers. For the entrees, I would recommend trying the spaghetti carbonara or the parmesan chicken. The dishes were creamy, and the portions were big enough to share or take home. As an added plus, they also have extensive wine list, and well-crafted cocktails. I will definitely be returning!

We went here on a whim for an early dinner. The food was excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised. Service was also good - and the restaurant was not busy. We got the Italian chopped salad, meatballs Al forno, and carnissima pizza. Everything was delicious. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the meatballs. You get two generous portions with ricotta, extra sauce, and grilled bread. The pizza was also delicious and light. I would probably opt for the cream sauce on the side next time. It was a bit overpowering. No pictures this time - but we plan to go back, and I will update this post!

We came here for a friend's birthday on a Saturday evening. The place was packed! We were glad that we had a reservation and got seated right away. Ambience is buzzing and happening. There were also tables outside with some space heaters. Parking was $10 for valet, and there's also some metered street parking around rice village. But be careful parking on the residential streets - one of our friends got towed! Service itself was a bit slow and not particularly friendly. We couldn't quite understand our waiter and it took awhile to bring out courses. The food and drinks were great, however! We started out with the bread board, shishito peppers, and fried mozzarella for appetizers. All were great! The bread board has different types of fancy butter - definitely a good choice for something a bit different. For main courses, we got the mushroom ravioli, margherita and Moroccan pizzas, spaghetti carbonara, and pappardelle pasta. Also got the beet carpaccio and brussel sprouts. We were most impressed by the pastas - all incredible! Pizzas were good as well. I will say the beet carpaccio was just sliced beets on a plate, and was a bit underwhelming. And Brussels were pretty standard. Several people on our group were vegetarian, and it was a perfect place given the number of choices available. They also do a fun cotton candy birthday treat topped with a sparkler for birthdays, which is very unique and fun! Though it did take quite awhile to bring out. This may be our go-to pasta spot in Houston now! We'll definitely be back.
