One of Houston’s original restaurants, Birraporetti’s opened in 1974 with the slogan “A great Italian Restaurant…A heck of an Irish bar.” For almost 40 years, Birraporetti’s has been the place to gather on a date, celebrating with friends and family, for happy hour or before or after the theater.
We are noted for our award-winning stone oven pizzas, pastas such as lobster ravioli, & delicious main courses including hand-carved beef filet & fresh seafood. And don't leave without trying our signature Frozen Bellini’s, Irish Coffee, chocolate chip cheesecake, tiramisu, or the berries & cream.
Located in the heart of the Theater District. Steps away from the Alley Theater, Jones Hall, Hobby Center, Wortham, Houston Ballet, Bayou Music Center, Sundance Cinema & a few blocks from Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park.
Open late seven days a week. Join us for Sunday live Jazz Brunch Buffet, Live Music Mondays, or to enjoy our lunch menu for downtown business clients.

    A nice lunch before the theater. Perfect timing. My friends got the personal pizza and remarked on how good it was. I got the chicken almond salad, and it too was good. Service was not rushed and we could relax and enjoy our lunch. Ambiance was nice with live music, but very subtle in the background so you could carry on a conversation. Close parking and walking distance to the Alley theater.

    Service was great! I was little disappointed that my scampi did not taste as outstanding as I remember. Huge shrimps but taste was blah. Perfect location for pre- theatre dining. Side Door near garage needs to be open before 11 it is so useful!!

    We’ve been coming here for a few years prior to attending plays. We try different things on the menu and always come away very happy. Good food, great service and friendly atmosphere.

    Mediocre Italian food. Service was horrendous, management did not see to care. They appear to cater to the traveling guest and are unconcerned about repeat business.

    We love the vibe at Birraporetti’s. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They truly know how to look after their guests. The live jazz music is very enjoyable. The band put on a great performance! We will most definitely be back!
