Nice little Italian place with homemade pasta and pizzas with counter service. Our first attempt a while back was unsuccessful as there were not enough seats and there was a big line ahead of us. We did not have that problem in a Sunday night. Food was excellent. I was surprised there were no bread service thou. Will definitely go back again to try other menu items.

The pasta is so fresh and perfectly cooked. The lamb was tender and the homemade pasta was nice and al dente. The salads were really terrific. This place is a hidden gem. I'm definitely coming back to try another dish.

The food was amazing! I truly never would have thought that I'd find that quality of food in a strip mall! The atmosphere is very relaxed. The chef is amazing!! I hope we are able to stop as we leave to go back home!

This place is a low key spot that seems that they would only serve coffee, breakfast foods, and sandwiches, but once you walk in and see all of the handmade pasta and new daily specials, you realize that it’s more than you think.
From my understanding, everything on the menu is made from scratch. We ordered a caesar salad, beef carpaccio, linguini fruta di mari, a lamb based sauce which is called the Tagliatelle with Texas Raised Lamb Sauce, and tiramisu. Everything was extremely delicious but if I could only choose one it would be the Lamb Sauce Tagliatelle which is 7 hours braised lamb in onions, celery, carrots, and tomato sauce! The tiramisu was also one of the best I’ve ever had!
I am now on a mission to find a restaurant that is up to par with this one back home in Denver, Colorado!

Honestly this place is probably one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a while. Everything from the food to the staff and the chef are all top notch. When I think of Italian food I think of family and that is exactly how they make you feel while you are there. Everyone was extremely nice and made you feel comfortable. You can tell in simplicity and taste of the dishes that Chef Crescini has a passion for what he cooks. I would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be back soon!

Went for lunch and noticed an Italian place on the plaza. Decided I wanted some pasta to try today. Small little spot that has pasta and pizza that are made fresh. I had the chicken Alfredo fettuccine pasta and it was absolutely delicious. You can tell right off the bat that everything in it was fresh with just right amount of sauce. Even the parmesan we're freshly grated. The only downside is that it is highly pricey for portion of pasta. I wish they had a lunch option with more reasonable prices. Although they do have pizza that is pretty fairly price. I would definitely come again but maybe not during lunch.

My friends from Italy recommend this place because it is authentic Italian food prepared by an Italian Chef. Everything was great! The pasta tastes homemade. I will return to try other menu dishes. Great staff, excellent service, quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Cibo eccellente e fresco!

It is with great sadness that I attended this restaurant tonight (May 1, 2022) for the last time. It has long been one of my favorites. Thank you chef Roberto for the great food and wonderful times in your place. Enjoy your sabbatical, Italy and wish you best luck. Grazie mille ️

5 Star dining experience! The chef delivered a freshly made fettuccine Alfredo plate to our table. The pasta was simply amazing. I am stunned at the level of service and the quality for the price. This is by far the best Italian restaurant in Houston that I highly recommend.

Best Italian food I have ever had! The pasta is made fresh daily and they even provide a visual of each pasta option when you are ordering. If you’re lucky, you may walk in when they are making the pasta right in front of their guests.
The service here is so friendly and they will happily explain to you the differences in sauces.
Highly recommend this is a go to lunch, dinner, or celebratory option. And don’t worry, they have dessert options as well.
Will be going back to try other dishes the next time I am in Houston. This place is a must try.

The Texas braised lamb and fettuccini rocks. I haven't had anything else because it's one of those omg I have to get it again thing. Love the Caesar salad, and the cannoli is the best I have had anywhere, even New York...to top it off, you can BYOB and the staff is friendly and helpful......look forward to another plate!

This is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I am in Houston for work and looked at reviews on Yelp. The restaurant is newly opened and I called ahead to see if they would be able to handle a group of 15 on a Saturday night. They updated me three times before I got to the restaurant to let me know how long the wait might be but they would be able to accommodate our group. The service was incredibly friendly. The quality of the food was sublime. Such a great experience, we'll be back before we head back to Kansas City. Btw, order the lamb.
Grecia Gonzalez-Moreno
The food was delicious and my family and I were very happy with the customer service and prices.
