24 Best Italian Restaurants near La Porte

“So the place is great for the most part, the only reason why I give it a 4 star is because the food and service is a hit or miss on it being goodParking: There is plenty of space when it's not busy, but obviously when it is there is a bit of a hard time“

“Frenchie's was recommended by Shawn, our tour guide for the VIP Astronaut Training tour at Space Center Houston. Boy was he spot on with the recommendation, the food at Frenchie's is phenomenal! Why four stars? The vibe was a bit off with the owner barking at the servers, walking around the restaurant visibly upset, grumbling and just being unpleasant. He came to our table to take our check and we complimented the food, only to be grunted at?? It was truly uncomfortable!!Now, the food and the service, that was perfection! I had the lasagna and it was delicious, exactly what I was expecting from a highly recommended Italian restaurant. Hubby had the steak with Dijon sauce and said it was amazing, he wanted to lick the sauce off the plate!! We shared a bottle of Italian red that was recommended by our wonderful server Maria who definitely knew what she was recommending! Maria was wonderfully attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. The ambiance is old Italian with history, including NASA history! I highly recommend a visit, it's definitely a great break from BBQ!!“

“Whether takeout, dining on the patio, or inside the restaurant, delicious spaghetti and meatballs, amazing hot bread w dipping spices, chopped salad w grilled shrimp, all just DELICIOUS!!!Parking: Easy to get to restaurant plus there is curbside where they bring to you!!!“

“The lunch buffet is better than the big corporate box pizza by a long shot. Also great salad bar, fresh, large selection. Check out the specials if you don't want pizza, they have amazing pasta dishes as well.Kid-friendliness: They give the kiddos pizza dough to play with, and watching them hand toss the dough into the air is always a crowd pleaser .“

“Dined in last night. Had Chicken Manicotti with tomato cream sauce - DELICIOUS! An iced tea, bread, caesar salad and entree, $14.xx. I left $20. Was happy with service as server was attentive and on top of my tea refills. Food was made to order and very hot upon arrival, I appreciate that. as others have posted the interior is a little sparce, but I'm not there to look at the decor - I'm there to eat. Look to have a robust carry out business. I'll return and enjoy something else. The pricing was very fair and if it means lower prices with sprucing up - I'm fine with that. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean - appreciate that too. Keep up the good work.“

“Great food at a nice local restaurant. We've had pretty much everything on the menu and its all good. The only problem we've ever had is the temperature. I'm guessing the windows make it hard to keep the temperature even. Sometimes its warm, other times its freezing.As far as the food goes, you can't go wrong, all of it is great.Parking: Small lot, so when everything in the center is open it can be a little tight.Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids.“

“In a small, converted home on Center Street in DP is one of the best Italian food restaurants I've been to (and that includes Italy, other European countries and even NY). The owner always greets with a smile and the staff are onboard with the mission. The cost is affordable and this mainstay of our community will be here as long as they continue their great service and wonderful food as they always have. I recommend the lasagne and any dish made with the lemon cream sauce (so good!). I'll be back soon, and often.“

“I have to say that after three separate visits, I am happy overall. Mama's Meatbals , Calamari and minocatti. Cooked very well fresh and very Hot ?? enjoyed thier in-house sauce. Calamari was not greasy light batter crispy taste. Meatballs were Hot fresh topped with cheese and plenty of tasty sauce . If u are in the area grab you some great tasting food. Look for thier daily specials and friendly staff.“

“Pasadena y'all are sleeping on Pizza lounge. Service was outstanding, and the food was so fresh and scrumptious. Calzone was superb. Garlic cheese breadsticks brought me back to my childhood. Plus the build your pasta plate so get exactly what you want... very good options and so tasty. Juke box for music selection and tvs for sports. Would definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: It's Italian food, so there's some naturally meat free dishes, but the selection isn't huge. However, it's totally worth it because it's done so well.“

“It was really full when we arrived but staff communicated the waiting Time immediately. At the table we got served with homemade bread and spiced oil. We both ordered pasta which was very delicious and came with a salat beforehand for free. Therefore it was a very good choice not to order a starter. That would be too much.“

“Let me start by saying the owner is AWESOME and very hands-on with his customers! I picked up an order for a customer, and woww it smelled so good, lol. Came back later on at night to try it out myself with my partner, and i wasn't disappointed! Wings had a nice flavor,although i prefer them crispy! Pizza crust is just how i usually like it,thin and can be folded! Perfect serving size for a medium for 2 people(around 8 slices but they are decent size). Atmosphere is super chill! Bar set up was my favorite, with the cushy booths i saw for us thick mammas LOl?. Just stop in and try!UPDATE : 3-3-2024 EM served us BOMB drinks! Had me feeling lovely and finished ALL my drink!! Had the pretzel with beer cheese and house margarita!Parking: It can get super crowded since its in a strip mall so try to get there early in the afternoon perhaps, or catch a spot if your lucky when someone pulls out!Kid-friendliness: Have nice booth seating and also saw alot of family's there!“

“Came here for a birthday brunch, was super cute and delicious! The garlic bread is absolutely AMAZING and my chicken caesar salad was also so freaking good.They hold events here which is also very cool, it’s beautiful inside and out with the water viewParking: Plenty of parking areaKid-friendliness: Kid menu for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Yes, to the left of entrance“

“Food is on point, fresh and hot and the lady that's works the register is awesome I believe her name is (Sebian or Sibian), hopefully I'm spelling it right if not I do apologize but the atmosphere is real laid back and friendly and I will definitely be going back if in the area.“

“We brought our four grandkids for lunch today and all of us loved the different selection of pizzas that were available on the buffet! They had dessert pizzas, cheese sticks, and pepperoni rolls with a salad bar. The kids ranged in age from 7-14 so everyone was happy. Miguel was very nice to the kids us grandparents. He was super attentive to making sure everyone got what they wanted to eat!“

“The food there’s is actually really good. From my experience there, the staff is actually really friendly welcoming and always talk to you with a positive attitude. From ordering to getting my food to me, in all honestly it didn’t took then that long considering how many people where there.“

“1This was my first time ordering from Tuscany Bistro on Marina Bay Dr in League City, TX. All I can say is OMG. I had the meatball parmesan sub with a side of fries. The bread was so good & toasted to perfection. The meatballs & sauce had an absolutely great flavor. The fries were somewhat shoestring cut & paired perfect with the sandwich. The lady who took care of me was Angel. Kudos to Angel for being so nice & having a pleasant attitude. The restaurant was very clean & the outdoor seating was the perfect spot to enjoy a nice meal & a drink. I will definitely be going back.“

“The vibe was nice, only a few people at the time. I'm sure the food would've been great had we got it in a timely manner. Came out cold, my kids food was made wrong. Lady at the window was not very attentive unless asked. I'd give it another try.Kid-friendliness: The kids food came with a bag of bubbles, which was nice.“

“This location is awesome! The food is great and the service is excellent! I’m always extremely impressed by how clean this location is. Every time I come in the place is spotless. The employees are fast and always working hard. Whoever owns this location is lucky to have so many hard working, young people taking pride in their work.“

“They have whole grain pasta on the menu but don't actually offer it. Very disappointing. I realize it may not be popular, but it is a lifeline for those of us who are heart patients or diabetics. Please offer it especially since you have it on your menu.The food & service is always awesome!Dietary restrictions: They say on the menu they offer whole grain pasta as a substitute, but when I asked for it, they said they really don't carry it.“

“Highly recommended!!! Honestly I’ve been coming here for years. The food quality has always been top notch and it’s been an absolute pleasure very time. If you’re looking for a hidden gem. Then you should definitely stop by it’s also a family friendly environment and they even have live music. A few years ago they add a bar area as well.“

“I had a great time with my family here. The music was great, and it was not overwhelmingly loud. The art was great. The customer service was amazing. I will definitely be coming back. Oh the bread is delicious!Parking: Open lot where the establishment was.Kid-friendliness: Meal portions for kids but still enough to take home.“

“This place is amazing. We celebrated a birthday and the owner help with the hosting. Over expected customer service, and each dish was just tasty, if you want to have the taste of an authentic Italian food this is the place!Kid-friendliness: Our kids were treated with respect and the food for them was perfect!“

“Had the best dinner the other night! All of our food was hot, the breadsticks were warm and soft and the best part was our server. Camacho (our server) was very attentive, polite and brought our food out quickly! He made the entire night for my family with his hospitality. I would request his sections!Thanks for a great night!“

“We went at exactly 10pm, and we ordered what we usually do, so it made it pretty quick for the waiter, but for some reason, he was being a bit rude. I called him over politely, and he just side eyed me and went to the other table, and even when he brought us our salad, he blew raspberries over our salad, which was disgusting. Guy with the man bun I hope you learn to be a better waiter and have some professionalism next time!“
