Antica Osteria Italian Restaurant is a dream come true for romantics.

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

Delightful for Dates and Special Occasions – The first time my husband and I pulled in on a lark. It was 8pm on a Saturday and we didn't have reservations. The host was very polite about our dropping in and asked us to have a drink at the bar while they found us a table. After a drink, they found something for us upstairs. The next time we made reservations to celebrate my graduation from law school. Our entire family loved the place. My advice is to order off the specials list. The first time I had the Trout with a marinara... read more

Reminds me of trip to Italy – My husband and I went here a with a little hesitation after reading the reviews. We decided we were too overwhelmed by the desire to find a place with the atmosphere we love from Italy to not try it. Don't get me wrong, we love the food at Prego, the wild boar dishes at Da Marco, and the pizza at Dolce Vita. But none of those places have the character of a place you visited in Tuscany. Well, Antica Osteria did. We arrived and the place was packed and somewhat chaotic without being annoying or lo... read more

Relaxing, Cozy Atmosphere and Great Food – What a wonderful restaurant! The staff is very helpful, corteous and attentive. The food is wonderful from the mushroom ravioli to the gnocchi to the salmon and lamb! You can't go wrong here in my opinion. They even prepared a special request. The regualar garden salad by the way is a hidden gem - sounds dull but wait until you taste the parmisean dressing on it - Wow!

Great homey place – I took my boss here for an appreciation dinner last night. He was so impressed with this place. The atmosphere is very nice. The food is outstanding. You have to try the hearty bean soup. Steve our waiter was very helpful with the wine selection to go with what we ordered. The staff is always right there with what you need. I will definately be back.

Inconsistant Service – First time here we sat outdoors. It was romantic and the food was tasty. We only had time for appetizers and vowed to come back later for a full meal. They seemed to be properly staffed and service was good. This was on a weekday. Second time we came here was on a Saturday night. We didn't make reservations. We were seated pretty quickly but never saw our waiter. No drink order. No dinner. We waited 10 minutes. So we left - hungry and a bit angry. Beware on weekends.

Over the top in custeromer service! – We arrived on a Saturday night, a party of three without reservations. We did not think the restaurant would be able to seat us as it was busy and 10p. They graciously gave us a wonderful table, superb service and the food was fabulous. We were celebrating my birthday and the waiter presented a complimentary cheescake and caffe latte. He could not have been more accomodating. We intended to go to a very expensive Steakhouse which had to close due to plumbing problems! Just goes to show y... read more

Best Italian Food in Houston – We love this restaurant. This has become our favorite restaurant. The food is simply outstanding. The prices are excellent for such high quality food. All the pasta dishes are terrific and the eggplant appetizer is out of this world. But beware this is a very popular place. During the weekend you must have reservations!
