Answer 1

Ugo's on I-10. Fairly casual, but not exactly "ratty t-shirt and shorts" casual. Really good menu, decent wine selection.

Answer 2

Carabbas Italian Grill is a good bet, authentic Italian food...casual, friendly, but not quiet.

Answer 3

Well there is one in Galveston can't remember the name,right as soon as you get over the causeway down about 4 blocks it's great.

Answer 4

I'm going to second Frenchy's near NASA.  It's might be a drive for you, but it's worth it.  Very good, and very quaint.  It's one of those places that you either love or hate though.  It has mixed review on b4-u-eat.com.

Answer 5

Antonio's - La Porte , Deer Park, and Baytown don't know what area you are in, but this place is great, casual and inexpensive. I love it. Try it - it may be worth the drive if you are a distance away. There might be one in other parts of Houston - I am not sure.

Answer 6

Luigi's on Jones Rd. It's family owned, and good Italian

recipes, and nice atmosphere.

Answer 7

Try the Italian resteraunt

Answer 8

French'y is a nice Italian restraurant, if your not looking to drive to Galveston, the best in Galveston would be Clary's as you enter galveston,or Luigi's on the Strand.

Answer 9

Try the Olive Garden, Carabbas, Lasagna House, or the Spaghetti Warehouse

Answer 10

Frency's (yes, I know, but it's Italian) on NASA Road 1 near the space center.  It's just the place for you.

On the west side on town, there's Carmelo's on Memorial.  It's a little more upscale than Frency's, but the food is great and it's not a noisy chain restaurant.  Enjoy!
