About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
The passionate General Manager responsible for acclaimed Houston establishments DaMarco and Dolce Vita has embarked on a new culinary adventure that will transport patrons to the heart of Italy. This new journey led to the creation of Magdalena’s Pizza and Trattoria – a haven for the finest Italian pizza and pasta.

Magdalena’s is an inviting space where everyone can gather to experience the true essence of Italian cuisine. The secret to Magdalena’s success lies in our commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients imported directly from Italy. To compliment the cuisine, we offers an extensive wine list available for purchase by the case with the most competitive retail pricing.

The dedication to excellence in customer experience, the discipline required to produce elevated dishes, and loyalty to authenticity are all traits instilled in Chef Nicolas Nikic by his Italian mother. It is not surprising, therefore, that the restaurant bears her name in homag

    One of our current favorites, Magdalena’s is dependably *very* good. Share a pizza (the taleggio is A+) for a simple weeknight supper, or explore the rest of the menu (ask if the fritto misto is available) for a date night dinner. Chef Nicolas is always on patrol in the dining room—sliding a small plate of freshly baked biscotti onto the table at just right moment. We’ll definitely be back . . . a lot.

    We dined with two toddlers on the patio and service couldn’t have been better. The chef visited with us and treated them to his favorite gelato. This is a neighborhood gem.

    We've been to Magdalena's a handful of times since it opened and it's always a great experience. The food is fantastic, some of the best pizza in Houston, and the service is amazing. The staff are all incredibly friendly and personable. This has already become a staple for our family and I know we'll be back again soon!

    This is a neighborhood gem with food consistently high quality and service consistently great, we always feel like the most important diners in the room.! Great value for high quality ingredients. Everything is good, but we always have to order a pizza in addition to anything else we get because otherwise we feel we have missed out!
