Disastro 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) I like Ninos/Vincent's (over on Dallas St., near Allen Pkwy) Consistently good food!http://www.ninos-vincents.com/Damian's (on Smith St., near downtown) is also excellent.http://www.damians.com/Collina's is great for pizza.

swtsig 2904 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Prego in villageCiros on i10Arturros in uptowni had the best soft shell crab i've ever had in my life at prego... dying to go back there.amerigos in the woodlands is fantastic (or at least it used to be... haven't been in a few years). owner is a very good family friend.never been, but i've been told by numerous people that da marco's is the best italian restaurant in town, bar none. sorrento's down the street is decent as well.

rsb320 131 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 We have many great Italian restaurants, but I'm going to vote for Arturo's Uptown and Carrabba's on Kirby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
memebag 18 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Carrabba's on Kirby used to be really good. After they franchised, it stayed good for a while, but then the quality started going downhill. The last few times I went the pasta was soggy and the desert was bland. And it was just too goddamned loud to stay in there for an entire meal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it was just too goddamned loud to stay in there for an entire meal.The Kirby and Woodway locations are not franchised, they're still owned by Johnny and Damian. I agree that it's loud and always has been, but the last time I ate there (fairly recently) the food quality was excellent.Outback owns the other Carrabba's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Hizzy! 16 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Ciao, y'all!Put me in the Romano's camp. And Josephine's is pretty good, particularly as downtown-area Italian goes. Edited August 6, 2008 by The Great Hizzy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
