Try the cinnamon pork tenderloin and you won't be disappointed. It sounds weird, but it's amazing. The bread is great, that atmosphere is festive, and the staff is friendly. I'll be coming back here often.

This Place is the Bomb – I live less than a mile from La Vista, but really never dined there. I found myself always heading to Carrabbas for Italian food, which is a great place. Never the less, we finally went, and I was blown away on the quality of the food and the price. We brought in our own bottle of red, and spite the tomato appetizer and the veal chop. It was out of the this world. The price was super reasonable!

Great Italian - BYOB – Good food, reasonably priced, BYOB (there's Rice Epicurean next door and a liquor store as well), casual, outdoor/indoor seating and a relaxed atmosphere. We went there for dinner last night and I had the ribs that were delicious and my wife had the Ribeye which was pretty good.

Huge Portions and BYOW – Okay, when a group of us met there, I was dreading the patio which faces the parking lot. They had fans blowing, making a bunch of noise. The tables looked cheap and I was a bit grossed out. I saw families with cases of wine. You can BYOW for $5 or order from a mini bar they just installed. I had always heard great things about the food. Their entrees are expensive, bu they are huge. My mussels were delicious and an A+! The brownie a la mode was a A-. Everyone else ordered pork and fish...they loved ... read more

The best – This is one of the few places that my fiance and I continue coming back to time and time again. The food is delicious and the BYOB policy is right up our alley. We always get the crab cakes, which are delicious, but the best part of that dish is actually the corn salsa. I love their veggie pizza as well as the pork tenderloin entree. It is PERFECTION. Not crazy about the ceviche at all though. If you're coming on a Friday or Saturday night, be prepared for at least a 45 minute-1hour wait if you don't get there by ... read more

My new fav place! – My girlfriends and I and I were looking for a new place and of course came to CitySearch and found this place! First of all it is BYOB which is always great! The food is wonderful and comes in such large portions it is easy to share. The pizzas are also really good. And the service is outstanding! I have actually been twice in the last week! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my husband!

Great food and great wine – La Vista has always been a favorite for me and my wife. With the BYOB policy and the excellent food at very reasonable prices, we end up hosting our monthly wine dinner there. Last weekend, we hosted our wedding reception for 50 people on the patio. Ed and George - managers - and the rest of the crews took excellent care of our party. This is a must go place for wine lovers and lover of excellent food.

Italian at it's Best – I am a little reluctant to write a review about this restaurant because I don't want the secret to be out that this is by far the best Italian restaurant in Houston. I finally tried La Vista after I finagled the secret out of my parents when they ate there three times in one week! Having travelled to Italy numerous times, I know how "REAL" italian food should taste. This restaurant takes classic Italian and puts a fun, inventive twist to it. The pastas and pizza are delicious and the main entrees, espe... read more
