The passionate General Manager responsible for acclaimed Houston establishments DaMarco and Dolce Vita has embarked on a new culinary adventure that will transport patrons to the heart of Italy. This new journey led to the creation of Magdalena’s Pizza and Trattoria – a haven for the finest Italian pizza and pasta.

Magdalena’s is an inviting space where everyone can gather to experience the true essence of Italian cuisine. The secret to Magdalena’s success lies in our commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients imported directly from Italy. To compliment the cuisine, we offers an extensive wine list available for purchase by the case with the most competitive retail pricing.

The dedication to excellence in customer experience, the discipline required to produce elevated dishes, and loyalty to authenticity are all traits instilled in Chef Nicolas Nikic by his Italian mother. It is not surprising, therefore, that the restaurant bears her name in homag

    Great to have the former Pei Wei location occupied by a very nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. The food was fantastic and the service professional. Wine list was good for a wine person as myself but could benefit by more lower to middle priced wines. Would be even better in this neighborhood if wine byob were possible for a reasonable corkage fee but liquor license may prevent it. Pizzas definitely perfect for carryout as an option.

    Great food, fun atmosphere, slow service. Staff is attentive, but sometimes you have to get their attention. Slow to take drink orders, and meal orders.

    My wife and I had a very enjoyable early dinner. For starters we shared a pizza and salad. And for entrees we had the lobster ravioli and gnocchi. All was excellent. The service was also excellent, and the ambiance was very comfortable.

    The food was average or slightly below. It’s hard to believe that the owner/chef worked at Da Marco

    My wife and I have dined her multiple times. The pizza and pasta are the best in the city. Service was excellent and even the owner checked on us as well.

    We had another exceptional meal. I spoke to the owner and asked if they ever made lasagna and he told me that he would put it on special this week. I can’t wait to try it. The food here is excellent.
