Worth the price – This is one of those rare cases where you definitely get what you pay for. Expensive, but you forget about all that after the first bite.

Cold food – I was with a party of 15 celebrating a birthday on a Saturday night. We had to ask for bread multiple times before we got any. When our food arrived (30 minutes after we ordered it), my food was completely cold. I may have liked it better if the food was hot.

Best Place to have a romantic date, the food's not bad either!!! – I think that they have the best pasta hands down (even better than Maggiano's and dare I say it...Grotto's). The food was so delicious and seriously I felt like I was in little Italy or something.

Private Room... – Attended a friend's birthday party in the private wine room. It was a great space for our group. The service was excellent.

I love this restaurant! – We had dinner here last night and it's even better than the last time we were here--and that time was fantastic! I had the duck--incredible, and my husband had the pasta trio with lobster ravioli--to die for!! I can't wait to go back! Carmelo really makes you feel at home!

User review by g16 – they have an excellent room that could accomodate a big group...the ambience is very romantic...the food was prepared well but a little bit on the bland side...they have an extensive wine selection

The Best there is in Houston – I've been enjoying this great place for more than 10 years. The food, service, ambiance, and host are all impeccable. I have not had better Italian food any where in Texas. Carmelo Mauro, the host, has done a wonderful job. His staff has all been there for years.
