Great meal every time I have been. One of (if not the best) the prettiest restaurants in the city serving excellent food with an in depth wine list, great cocktails (hats off to Fabio and Rudy) and exemplary service (Nate is fantastic). Would recommend to anyone interested in the “whole”experience at a fine dining establishment.

Reservation was easy to check in, they called me and sat us right away. The dining room has a great private atmosphere. It was pretty loud and I wasn’t able to hear the person I was dining with frequently. The food was delicious though. The bucatini pasta dish was amazing and the tiramisu was delicious. They gave a large portion of the tiramisu.

This is one of Houston’s best restaurants. Very good steak and arguably even better pastas. The Rigatoni in Vodka sauce is better than Carbone’s and their Lobster fra diavolo is stunningly good. Their Italian favorites like Veal Parm and Veal Milanese are also remarkable. The atmosphere and live piano music is the frosting on the cake. It’s a updated version Gene and Georgetti (Chicago).
