When owner Johnny Carrabba set out on his next restaurant venture, he knew his vision would include the fond memories he had of his dear grandmother Grace Mandola. Grace, also known to the family as Mama, was a Sicilian woman born to immigrant parents in Louisiana. She had a flair for cooking, hospitality, and deep faith.

She was known to make bread from scratch every Saturday for her legendary three-hour Sicilian Sunday lunches; and, her newly established family roots in Louisiana added interesting flavors to her home cooked meals. The entire Mandola family, including her five children and fourteen grandchildren, was regularly greeted in her home with smells of warm bread, well brewed sauces and homemade soups. It was around her table that her family learned the true meaning and value of relationships, friendships and good food.

    Great food, great service! always consistent. Try the tortilla soup, best in Houston. The jalapeño cornbread is great and complimentary. You will love Grace's.

    Grace’s is always amazing. I took a friend who had never been there before and she loved the shrimp burger and the corn bread. The service was excellent too.

    Spouse and I ordered 2 different entrees. Entree and sides were plentiful, entrees prepared so tender, could cut with a fork. Had reservation for 8p, when arrived, place was full, with waiting line, but we were seated on time. Wait staff attentive. We like this place. Our only concern is we think their mixed drinks and wines are a little pricey based on our experience with similar restaurants.
