A cozy Italian spot I've shocked it took me so long to visit. The food was delicious and the dessert was debatably the best part of the meal. There was a small hiccup with our appetizer, but the service was impeccable and quickly resolved it!

We've been here so many times. Nothing but good things to say! 1) food- amazing. Goes without saying. The cacio is my favorite. Truly spectacular. 2) service - fantastic. Speedy, informative, attentive, and friendly. 3) ambiance - a perfect date night spot. We recommend it extensively to friends going on dates! We will we back. We always come back!

We came here for a birthday dinner with a group of friends. In Montrose fashion, the place seems like you're stepping into someone's home - it's quaint and cozy. They had a nice wine list that was decently priced. We got a few starters: - Carrots - surprised these were cold, and honestly expected something better (3/5) - Brussels - these are not your typical Brussels - they're shaved and cold and we didn't love them (3/5) - farro salad with beets - this was pretty nice! (4/5) - Meatballs - pretty good - came with 3 large meatballs, so perfect to share (4/5) We also got a few bruschetta: - avocado - this was good! Basically like a mini avocado toast (4/5) - burrata - my favorite - it apparently has fish on it but couldn't really taste it (5/5) - whipped ricotta and peppers - this was okay, I love whipped ricotta but not sure if the peppers is the best combo with it (3/5) We all got separate main entrees - - the mushroom risotto was a favorite among the group (4/5) - cacio e pepe- was good, but left a bit more to be desired (4/5) - Harry's bar pasta - was good - tasted a bit like a carbonara (4/5) For dessert we had - dark chocolate tartufo- so yummy! If you like dark chocolate, gelato and m cherries- get it! (5/5) - tiramisu brûlée- yummy! Tiramisu with some crunch (5/5) - the team was nice enough to bring a panna cotta on the house for the birthday, which was also yummy Overall, nice ambience and service. Desserts were great, food was decent. Unsure if we'll be back given the great Italian options in the city.

Please keep that lamb shank on the menu! Wow. Everything else I've had there over the last year has been amazing as well. The risotto is always delicious as well. I could name all the food here and say the same things but you get the point. Mmmm

Such a hidden gem along the busy Westheimer Rd! I randomly stumbled on this place while looking for a good Italian spot for date night on Google. We made a reservation on Resy but came early and were seated immediately; it was surprisingly not that busy on a Saturday night. The ambiance was intimate and cozy - perfect for our date night. We started with the fried baby artichokes (which took me back to eating artichokes in Rome), and the "grilled cheese" prosciutto, fontina & black truffle - the grilled cheese, while not "authentic", was PHENOMENAL and one of the top bites of the night. For mains, we ordered the funghi pizza and baked tagliolini "harry's bar" bechamel & prosciutto. Both were solid, with flavorful mushrooms on Roman style pizza, and creamy bechamel in a hearty pasta dish. The tagliolini was a large portion that I would recommend to share with the table, as the creamy flavor profile did become tiresome. Service was good overall and we enjoyed a nice evening with Vinoteca Poscol. The restaurant does have its own gated small parking lot, but otherwise, there is street and paid garage parking around the area. We look forward to coming again to further explore their menu.

Surprisingly, I had never heard of this restaurant. It is in the most adorable house to give the most welcoming feel. We had the baby artichokes for an appetizer and they were delicious and cooked perfectly with a hint of lemon. I had the bolognese and it was great. This is my favorite pasta so I am a harsh critic but I really enjoyed it. The only complaint would be the wine spritz cocktail. It is wine based but you could not taste the wine in it. It tasted like actual syrup. Overall we had a great experience and will be returning!
