February 27, 20196 yr There are probably better places, but I still god damn love the original Carrabba's on Kirby.
March 14, 20196 yr Sorrento is worth a look if you haven’t tried. I usually have them make me a Veal Parm, off the menu, that is unbelievable. They take a big veal chop, butterfly and flatten it then fry it up. Easily the best in town

March 19, 20196 yr I like Sorrento also but usually I'm just hitting up an "Italian" place that's just good enough for right now. Carrabba's, Napoli on Beechnut, Ciro's Memorial City, etc. I guess until Dago posts and tells us where the actual Italian food is, I'll keep it that way.

March 28, 20196 yr the fam used to go to ciro's all the time back when i was in high school. used to be on the other side of I-10. didn't go near as often when it was attached to the tanning booth.

Did you ever go to The Great Charcoal Chicken when it was next to Ciro's across the freeway? I loved that place.

May 8, 20196 yr Kids and I like Corelli's at Westheimer and Chimney Rock. We used to go to Ciro's back in the day at the old location, but haven't been to the new place. Loved the Bocce Ball court. Do they still have one at the new location?
May 27, 20196 yr we're downtown for a couple of nights, i have a probate hearing tuesday morning... just returned from Osso & Kristalla down the street. polenta tots were one of the best appetizers i've ever had. both entrees were absolutely delicious (shrimp linguine and chicken pesto rigatoni) if a bit heavier than expected, in like that awesome, rich way 😁 good stuff. but glad we walked from hotel!

June 3, 20196 yr Went to North Italia last night in the galleria. I’d been wanting to try it for a while and it really hit all the marks. We will definitely go back.

Agreed, except I didn't get the alfredo. We got chicken parm and some pappardelle thing. Everything was finominle.

Hope it isn’t closed. I also like Amalfi. Which is in the sameness strip center as The Palm. Excellent food. And the friendliest service I’ve seen.
September 4, 20214 yr just left Cavatore on ella and damn it was good. get the Cesar salad and the special was ossco buco, delicious
September 22, 20214 yr Was in town last week and took a lady friend to Potente. Hadn't been in awhile and it did not disappoint. We were having trouble deciding what to order and our waiter offered an off menu multi course tasting menu which included the foie gras spaghetti al tartufo nero and waygu filet all of it was amazing.Not really traditional Italian but it was one of the better meals Ive had in awhile.Highly reccomend

If you mean Poscol, yeah...We went once right after DV closed and during the pandemic... it wasn't the same. The pizza crust was different...but looking at their menu now, it looks like they've imported quite a bit from the old DV menu...will have to give it another go.

The food was good when I went the other day and it's really close to my office. edit: Turns out the ended it because it got too expensive or something nevermind. Edited April 7, 20223 yr by Tex48
