Popped into Auntie Pasto's for dinner the other night. We tried the crawfish ravioli, crab cakes, basil, garlic and tomatoes pasta and ended with the jack Daniel's mousse cake. For starters, the bread and the fresh herbs and olive oil was probably the best part of the meal. You can tell that they use quality oil and herbs for this, which really sets it apart from other restaurants. I was unimpressed by the basal, garlic and tomatoes pasta as it was quite watery and not very flavorful. The crawfish ravioli was a much better entree as the sauce was flavorful and thick and made nicely. The crab cakes that we ordered for appetizers were a nice touch. We've been getting the mousse cake for years and again, it did not disappoint. The service was okay. We felt pretty rushed by our waiter throughout the meal. It also sounded like the kitchen was behind on this night so definitely have some understanding there. But overall, a great family environment! Will be back! read more

Auntie Pasto's is one of those places I find myself returning to again and again. The food is always freshly prepared, served hot, and consistently delicious. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole ambiance is peaceful and calm -- a nice break from the usual lunch rush. On this visit, I tried the daily soup, a white bean, and it was so tasty, especially paired with the hot toasted bread. Another great experience, and I'll definitely be back. read more

I hadn't been there in a while but was working nearby. I ordered a spaghetti with marinara from the lunch special. You are served fresh bread with an olive oil dip. The pasta comes with either a Caesar or a garden salad. While I ordered the Caesar, they brought the other one by mistake. The waiter offered to correct it but I let it go. The pasta with marinara is OK. I've had better marinara sauces at other restaurants. The lettuce from the salad looked old. See my photo. I told the waiter to tell the chef. While I might not return for food, I've been wanting to try the To Die For Cake. So I'll pick up a slice to go another day. read more

Small business in shopping center- quiet area with great friendly service. Saturday evening and we were seated right away- got busier as we sat. Complimentary bread and oil was warm, toasty and tasty- never ending too! The crab cake was a bit lacking- not much flavor in the crab cake and the sauce it's in was salty and made the bottom of cake soggy. The fettuccine with shrimp was good- definitely tasted the fresh pepper, shrimp were cooked well and large! If you love saucy pastas this was the one! Overall tasty and great for a nice weekend or weekday family meal! read more

One of my best friends recommended this place to go since we were both in the Meyerland area at the time this past Tuesday. Such a great mom& pop restaurant. Staff made a great suggestion for one of their lunch specials , great portion size for lunch. Had to take half home , highly recommend this place. Quite delicious! read more

We came here on a weekend and they were fully busy. Despite that they were able to seat us in a booth that had just been vacated. Quick and efficient service. We ordered a Caesar salad (side) with our entrees and they were delicious. For my entree I got the chicken marsala. It was so good! Reminded me of the kind of food I used to get from one of my favorite neighborhood spots when I used to go out with my family growing up! For dessert we got the "to die for" which was layers of lady fingers with various berries and cream throughout. While I wouldn't say that this dessert was necessarily to die for, my dining partner absolutely devoured it. Next time I will be trying the tiramisu. The cappuccino was a little too bitter for me but that's probably because the dessert was too sweet. I would love to go back and try other dishes. read more

This is a great place if you are looking for a casual Italian restaurant with good food. The skillet mushrooms are my favorite item on the menu! I am a vegetarian and I appreciate the number of options this place has. I am also gluten free so having the option to substitute gluten free penne is wonderful. I do wish they had gluten free spaghetti as well. I love the black bean pasta. It's so flavorful and not like any other pasta I have had. I get it without chicken and cilantro. This place also has a great wine selection and full bar. The servers are attentive and accommodating. If you are looking for some good food give this place a try! read more

It was yummy. We had a large group and our food came out quickly. Will go back...just need a bigger appetite. Portions are big! Will need to save room for dessert next time. read more

Seven years ago we ate at an Auntie Pasto's in Pearland and enjoyed it. We gave this Bellaire location a try. My wife had the Ravioli with meat sauce and liked it, I tried one and concurred. I enjoyed the Lasagna with meat sauce and a hot cappuccino. read more

I recently ordered to go from Auntie Pasto's for the first time and was pleased with everything. We got the Parmesan fries, fried mozzarella, shrimp fettuccine w/ added blackened chicken and the crawfish ravioli. Every single thing was amazing. It was all served hot and seasoned beautifully. It traveled well to the house. Definitely a new favorite restaurant for me. Before I go, I have to compliment the bartender/to go server. I can't remember her name, unfortunately. She is a blonde lady with a very vibrant personality and a great work ethic. I was having one of those days when I picked up my order and asked if I could get a quick shot of tequila and she tended to my needs quickly for being so busy. That is all. She's amazing. read more

My name is Carlos Berrios. I am a Hispanic male full of tattoos. I came in with my African-American girlfriend and our children to come and eat at this establishment first we waited forever to get sat once we got sad. We were sad rudely by the waiter didn't know his name, older gentleman baldheaded seems to be very, very agitated to be at work. We tried our best to be friendly. He was very unfriendly after we got our meal. We realize that the food the steak wasn't cooked well at all it was actually extremely red. We weren't asked how what kind of temperature we wanted our food so obviously when it came out Red, we complained. I waited to the very end right before paying. I normally don't complain because being Hispanic and coming in with an African-American were automatically categorized as we're trying to run out or get some or get something free, which in this wasn't the case at all, I paid for the entire meal a busser as she was collecting it noticed that we did not touch the plate and asked why did we not touch it? I explained to her that the meal was not cooked, right she went then went and got the waiter to show him after she showed the weight of the way to Said what would you like me to do? It's already too late. You guys already paid for the meal he wasn't accommodating at all. I did ask well. Is it too late? Is there anything that can be done? He just walked completely away. went right to the bar and sat down the busser stated and looked at him and said hey these guys should not have to pay for this meal since they didn't touch it and the meal was not cooked he shrug his shoulders and sat right at the table and did nothing about it. I decided to painful still left the $10 tip because we're just not petty like that but I can definitely say that I would never ever ever return to this establishment nor do I recommend anyone come because if this is the way you're gonna be treated where your food is not gonna be cooked and you're gonna be treated with disrespect and rudeness then I do not recommend this place at all read more

I probably shouldn't post this at all, but I am compelled for Auntie Pasto's to "clean up their act." I was meeting my cousin for dinner and as I sat down and ordered my cocktail, I saw a mouse hopping straight down the middle of the dining room. I hadn't seen my cousin in 2 years and we needed to catch up on family stuff so we stayed, had some cocktails and got caught up. Both of us are lovers of all creatures, but this was off the charts in a restaurant we once frequented. The waiter said, "oh yeah, we have a problem" and "no restaurant is perfect." Huh? I shall give Auntie Pasto's a miss in the future. Bill paid in full. We could have cleared the restaurant in 60 seconds had we let the other patrons know. No one did anything. Oh well,, scratching this place off my list of decent affordable restaurants. read more

Food - mediocre at best. Steak and Peppers on their menu - avoid it. Primavera Pasta, eh. Most of their pasta dishes are made with Sysco pasta sauce - or worse, from a can. Watery and pretty tasteless. I can't imagine a restaurant next to Blood Brothers BBQ staying in business serving mediocre Italian dishes. Service was stellar. Our server was very patient because my niece has a 3 year old cranky and sleepy kid. Bless his kind soul. I just wish their food was better. Ambiance was ok. Very quiet on a Monday evening. The place had a few diners and were probably annoyed by a whiny kid inside. Overall, I was generous with 3 stars. They only rated that because their special pasta was good - according to my niece, and that the dessert was tasty and delicious! Oh boy was it good. I think it was Jack Daniels Mousse Pie. Big slice. Epic! read more

I regret coming here. My carbonara was an insult to Italians everywhere. It was more like a hodgepodge of things- an Italian stir fry and that was not what I wanted at all. At least their wine pours were nice. We asked the waiter what he recommended and literally said he didn't eat there. Yikes. read more

Long time Bellaire resident . We haven't eaten here in 20 years and figured we'd try it one more time. The kitchen does not know how to cook a pizza. The dough was not fully cooked. The pepperoni had no cupping there was too much cheese. Maybe they forgot to put yeast in the dough. The Caprese was fine, good actually. So many better pizza options. read more

wow what a disappointment. Ate there this evening and for the price it is not worth it. Shrimp dosh with the cream sauce was flavorless-no garlic no sal t no pepper no taste what so ever. Garlic bread had no garlic flavor. Eggplant parm- same-no flavor at all. Will not be going back-Olive garden is better than this place- The Caesar salad was actually good. read more

The food was amazing. My server was so knowledgeable and friendly. I wiil be back! read more

Complimentary bread was nice and soft served with garlic olive oil. Recommended muscle with white wine sauce. The muscle was not fishey and good combination with wine sauce. Pasta was big potion but they were tasteless, need to add salt and pepper. I was not sure this restaurant might have different chef. I went there several times, the flavor was not consistency. The server was good and friendly. Very big parking lot. read more

The place is very quaint and comfortable. Excellent Customer Service! My chicken pizza was Alfredo -- not as Italian flavored as I expected, the crust was somewhat overly done. Delish tea. I may try it once again. read more

Great place! Parking is very easy in this area, and it is a quaint, classic Italian spot. It is very reasonably priced for a large amount of tasty food. I got the tomatoes, garlic, and basil pasta, and it had a wonderful flavor. It was also a lot of food and I got two meals out of it. The crème brule was great as well! read more

This place has been awesome for 35 years! It just stays that way. Recommend the Chicken Minelli for sure!

My biggest complaint was the service. Our waiter was awful. Water never refilled. Never checked on us. Had to flag down other waiters to get a box for our leftovers and another to tell our waiter to bring us the bill. It doesn't feel good to feel invisible in a restaurant, but I did. The food was't bad, but the clam chowder was an extremely small portion for the price, and when I asked for a different sauce in the pasta that came with my dish, there was a $3 upcharge, but the waiter didn't tell me there would be. There are so many other Italian restaurants near me, I can't see any reason to comeback here. read more

Peeps! So I was in a grab-n- go spaghetti and meatball mood but didn't know where to go. Hit up the Elite Village and they sent me here. Appreciate ya! Got there. Told Rene what I wanted and she said "Oh you meant the Pasta Alfredo." She was correct! Good ear! My first time but not my last. Intimate spot to hang as well. If in the area or can get there check them out and tell them PK sent you. #Pkast read more

Service was AWFUL here this evening. My family and I waited to be seated upon arrival and once we were, not one waiter came to our table. It wasn't until I flagged down the manager was when he called the waiter who had been serving tables immediately near us. That in itself took 15 minutes for someone to even get our drink orders. The food we ordered was alright, but due to the frequent drink refill and bread refill requests, that knocked their rating down even further. Not once did our waiter take any initiative and provide the items hisself. Another family who sat near us had the same experience with their waitress and you could tell they were also peeved. Simply absurd. We will not be returning. read more

Laid back Bellaire Italian place. Renee and Conner are friendly, efficient bartenders. Food is really good for the price.

Have not eaten at the Bellaire location in about 30 years, back when they were located at Bellaire & S. Rice & Chef Thomas Rivera Sr. commanded the kitchen & Debra was our favorite waitress... until today. Have also visited Hawaiin original location. The food is just as abolutely delicious & the service from waiter Sasha was superb! Geaux check it out!!! FABULOUS! ALOHA! read more

The service was ok. The food wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I ordered a chicken marsalla and they served me a tomato sauce basted grilled chicken with marinara sauce. Not at all what I expected a chicken marsalla plate to be. The desserts were pretty good and not pricey. read more

A regular haunt, pre-Harvey, before my office relocated. As a non-tomato soup fan, I love their daily special tomato basil soup, but it's rarely "the daily soup special". Their "creamy pesto" is my favorite entree. Minimal parking, arrive early. My son, who's not a sourdough fan, refers to this as the "bad bread place". read more

Thank you to the wonderful and kind service that was brought to our table. For our group of three, we were hesitant on finding a place to have lunch. Until we stumbled on this remarkable Italian restaurant that had renovations going on in the exterior. We are HAPPY that we landed there! The waiter was extremely nice, and brought our food out in a timely manner. The owner offered to take our picture. The desert was very tasty and I would go back for that! I'd recommend the tea that Enrique makes!! So delicious. Thank you for everything! read more

My husband and I are new to town and happened to be in the neighborhood. Trying Auntie Pasto's was the best decision we made all day. I LOVED everything about our experience. We went on a Monday at about 7. It was quiet, we were immediately greeted and given table options. This would be an amazing date night spot, I thought a perfect romantic setting. Low lighting, Sinatra like music. Sasha was our server and he was so kind and helpful. Everything we ate was very fresh and delicious. The bread served with oil was soft and tasty. The house salad was SO fresh and their vinaigrette was a delight. We ordered the Signature Black Peppered Shrimp and Fettuccine.. it was SO delightful, I highly recommend. The bacon added a light Smokey flavor, the shrimp and portobello mushrooms were the perfect light pairing with the cream sauce. My husband ordered the Crawfish Ravioli and it was a delightful red sauce with a good taste of crawfish. We will definitely be back again! Can't recommend this place enough. read more
