    This is my fourth time dining at Magdalena. We have tried many things on the menu and everything has been excellent. The attention to detail, the presentation of the food, the ambience in the restaurant combine to make a pleasurable experience. The Osso Buco, mussels, seafood, pasta are very good.Someone in my party, Fortunately, always orders pizza and shares it with the others. I think the Pizza is the best Neapolitan in Houston. The salads are so fresh and presented so well every time I’ve been there. I also enjoy talking to the owner( and Head Chef) ; he visits each table and his stories from cooking around the world are quite interesting.
