try the eggplant rolls stuffed with ham, provolone, and salami with a tomato sauce. i also love the sauteed portabella mushroom salad.

enjoy!

Answer 2

Maggiano's Little Italy: For some REALLY fine dining....



Huge portions of food, great friendly atmosphere, friendly waiters, and delicious food! Better money value than Carmelos, Carabbas, and Olive Garden!

Address: 2019 Post Oak Blvd

713-961-2700

Answer 3

I agree with the above answer:

Patrenella's Cafe

813 Jackson Hill St

Houston, TX

713.863.8223

Answer 4

If price is no option:  Da Marco (http://www.damarcohouston.com/)

It is Italian and not American Italian, but very good.  There is a new restaurant guide out called "Fearless Critic Houston" that calls this the best restaurant in Houston. (http://www.fearlesscritic.com/) It's a good guide and lists several other options as well.

Answer 5

Hands-down, the best Italian restaurants in Houston are Maggiano's and Da Marco. If you want a GREAT restaurant guide, Borders has a book called "Fearless Critic". It has almost all restaurants in Houston and gives great and honest reviews. I refer to it constantly!

Answer 6

Tony's Restaurant located on Richmond and Timmons St. behind Lakewood Church. One of the best restaurants in Houston Tx.

Answer 7

The Spaghetti Warehouse! It's my favorite!!!

Answer 8

Olive Garden?????? I would not put that in the same category as Carmelo's or even Carrabas.

I eat at Ugo's on Katy Freeway often. Always a very good meal.

Answer 9

Maggiano's on Post Oak is amazing.

Answer 10

It is actually in Pearland but it is AWESOME!!!

Santa Barbara

Also, in Houston is Buca di Beppo.  Family Style Italian

Answer 11

Try Frenchy's (Yes , it's Italian) out on Nasa Road 1.  You'll be pleased!
