About this business

Antica Osteria Italian Restaurant is a dream come true for romantics. A slice of the Mediterranean in Southwest Houston, it features a grotto-like room and also a candlelit dinning room with a warm fireplace and sloping, wood-beamed ceiling. The patio has an overhead trellis with grape vines growing down like in real Italian gardens. The imposing ambiance is well suited for savoring authentic Tuscan dishes paired with luxury wines. Savor items like Fettucine Alla Crema and Spaghetti Alla Chitarra, with Cakebread Chardonnay, ... read more

Very pleasant experience – We tried Antica Osteria again last night from a four year hiatus. We came early because we didn't have reservations and the place fills up. Appreciated the free valet parking. They were barely open, but we had no problems waiting in the bar with a pleasant bartendress. They had a nice table ready at the time we requested. The room had a nice decor matching the ambiance and although full, we didn't feel crowded. Service was prompt and attentive. Menu was varied plus they have several specials all at... read more

Best Italian Food in Houston! Best Italian food in Houston. Restaurant focuses on northern Italian food with fresh local ingredients. You must try the lamb chops or the meat sauce and spaghetti. Wonder for a quite romantic dinner for 2 or a party of 20 guests. Wait staff and owners and wonderful!

Food was laughably bad – Taken here for my birthday. Parking is sparce if you don't want to valet. Ambiance was great, very romantic. Waiter was great as well, recommended a terrific wine. HOWEVER, chicken entree was like RUBBER and not edible; it was so bad we were actually laughing about it; fiance's dinner was only okay. The waiter noticed how little I ate and brought us 2 free delicious alcoholic drinks and a free dessert for my birthday. The free drinks, dessert and good laugh made up for the food, but I won't ever try ... read more

A very pleasant meal and evening – I'm sorry -- and surprised -- to see at least one reviewer had a bad experience here. We found it delightful, with excellent, attentive service and delicious food, ranging from the bread and appetizers through main courses and a to-die-for dessert. The veal chop and veal picata were delicious. And the "Antica torte" multi-layer chocolate mousse cake was as good as we've had anywhere. The waiters were not only attentive to us, but we really got to see them in action when a patron at another ... read more

Disgusting Veal.... Bad Service..... Incompetent Waitress – I just ate here on my birthday, and I had just about the grossest dinner ever. I had wanted to eat here because of the romantic atmosphere and great location. Other than that, there is no reason to waste any time or money here. We arrived and were seated at our table, everything was going fine....we sat there unnoticed for about 15 minutes. We didn't mind since it was a nice table and atmosphere. Finally, the waitress came over. She was fine, but it was impossible t... read more

First time, Good italian and service, expensive wine list. – Would dine again; my only comment is with the 400% markup on some wines, so be careful of your choices. Our $13 average retail wine was selling here for $52, and there wasn't a lot of other reasonable selections.
