my favorite italian in Houston – This is hands-down my favorite italian restaurant in Houston. The service isn't always perfect, but overall it is generally pretty good--and excellent when my favorite waiter is there. Their alfredo sauce is fabulous, and they have a pound cake they make in-house that is to die for.

Excellent Italian - charming family-owned restaurant – We are Patrenella's regulars and this has been our favorite hidden spot for years. The food is always premium and the dining room so romantic. It's a historic home turned restaurant. Service has been pretty good though you best make reservations for dinner on weekends.

terrible language – Upon entering the restaurant we were promptly greeted by the hostess. The atmosphere was quaint and welcoming; however, there was some conflict between two of the waiters and one was very loud in voicing his opinion. (There is no way he could have missed us coming in to the restaurant considering we were directly in his line of vision) he cursed quite audibly stunning both my husband and myself. The other customers around us were disturbed by the profanity and my children heard this offensive language. We... read more

Bravo! – I had a fabulous romantic meal here on Friday for my birthday. We haven't been in a couple of years and it was just as good as ever. The food was very good and the service was top notch. There was always someone there whenever anything was needed. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening and I can't wait to go back.

Overpriced but charming – We were promptly seated. The waiter recited the specials but failed to mention the price, which resulted in a party member spending way over his budget for dinner. Bread was replenished without asking. The menu focuses mostly on chicken and pasta. Where the osso buco? The noise volume on a Friday night made conversation a little challenging. Great for a Friday night after-work dinner, but not the best Italian food.

Amazing Lasagna – We have eaten at this wonderful restaurant four times now and each time, everything has been perfect. The appetizers are all wonderful- we especially loved Sammy's eggplant and the caprese - but then again, the sausage and peppers were great too! The lasagna is reasonably priced and homemade. And the fish is amazing. I guess I could go on and on about how delicious the food is- but I also want to mention how charming the house is, as well. This restaurant is in the old family home and the tables are reasona... read more

Excellent Seafood Linguine! – Cool mellow atmosphere and excellent Italian food. hubby always has Chicken Milanese and love the linguine with fresh sauteed shellfish. Patrenella's is typically my first pick for Date nite. Romantic cottage, excellent service and wonderful AUTHENTIC Italian.
