   Horrible service. Will never return. Made reservation through open table for 9:45pm. There was even a 10pm seating available. Arrive at restaurant early and we’re told they are closed. No apology. Said they didn’t care that we had reservations and kept saying we should have made them earlier! What difference does that make?! Then they proceeded to blame open table for accepting reservations later than what the restaurant accepts. Well maybe learn to program your reservations system. Last thing I’ll say - the chef owner who basically told the staff not to seat us - maybe comb your hair or use a hairnet! Gross.

   This is the best Italian food in Galveston. Pina is from Sicily and the food is amazing. Try the Mediterranean octopus and the eggplant Sicilian style . If you really want to be blown away get the blue crab ravioli with the Rosa sauce. The portions are good and very reasonable priced for the quality.

   **A Taste of Italy on the Island: Why You *Must* Visit Trattoria la Vigna !** Stepping into Trattoria la Vigna in Galveston feels like a warm embrace from an Italian nonna – if that nonna was also a Michelin-starred chef with an impeccable sense of hospitality. From the moment we walked through the door, my dining companion and I were treated to an experience that transcended mere dining; it was a celebration of incredible food, truly amazing service, and an ambiance that perfectly captured the heart of Italy. Let's talk about the food first, because frankly, it's revolutionary. Each dish we sampled was a masterpiece, crafted with obvious passion and the freshest ingredients. The pasta, clearly homemade, was al dente perfection, its delicate texture pairing beautifully with the rich, complex sauces. I highly recommend starting with the calamari – it set the bar incredibly high. For our main courses, the lasagna and the veal scallopini al funghi was an absolute revelation, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. And whatever you do, save room for dessert! The lemon cheesecake was the perfect sweet crescendo to an already phenomenal meal. Every bite was a reminder of authentic Italian culinary tradition, executed with a contemporary flair that truly elevates the experience. But as exceptional as the food was, the service at Trattoria la Vigna is what truly sets this establishment apart. Our server, was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about every item on the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our evening memorable. From wine recommendations to insightful descriptions of the daily specials, their passion for their craft was palpable. The entire staff worked seamlessly, creating an atmosphere of relaxed elegance and genuine warmth. It's rare to enc

   Had a great dining experience there were eight of us that had been in Houston for a wedding and added a day or two to spend in Galveston food atmosphere ambience all wonderful at the end of the night. The chef who I believe is the owner came out to speak to every table that had dined. I highly recommend it fun good food evening.
