    Service was good. Food was very mediocre. Very bland taste. Meatballs were over cooked. Vodka sauce was flavorless.

    The bread, pasta and coffee are very nice but the salad and main course were very plain and not worth the cost.

    First impression was the outdated decor. Service was ok but not enthusiastic. The limoncello spritz was too sweet (too much simple syrup), the Italian margarita had too much sweet and sour. The Mozzarella In Padella was cold, the breading soggy and drowned in runny tomato sauce. The meatballs were dry and one of them was burnt and in the same sauce as the cheese. We decided to leave at this point. They did serve the birthday cake (Mezzanotte). Dense and overly sweet.

    1st time returning since the mid 90’s. The location is down the street from the original location and the Landry corporation now has multiple locations. As remembered last time dined, the ambience and atmosphere is still beautiful. A delightful dining experience. The décor takes you to Italy and the food and service is one of Houston's finest Italian restaurants.

    An excellent and affordable but classy Italian restaurant in Houston! I always forget about this place and then, am reminded why I love it so much when I do dine here. Delicious food and amazing service!

    I came here for Mother’s Day and had such a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made the day feel extra special. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pollo francese. I highly recommend for a special occasion or just a great night out!
