Brunch time! I was…read morecraving brunch, but wanted some options for my son since he wasn't vibing with the breakfast thing. Yelp led us to Azzurro. The staff were very friendly when we entered. We didn't have a reservation, but they sat is quickly even though the place was pretty full. I went for one of their Benedict options and son went for good old fashioned spaghetti. I liked mine and he finished all of his. For him, finishing food means it was on point. He is so picky. The restaurant itself is a mix of elegant and casual for brunch. It's also nestled in Hughes Landing meaning there is plenty to do on foot before and after. (For me, that means a visit to Fleet Feet.) Anyway, the brunch was solid.

I ordered a pasta dish with shrimp and added scallops because I really enjoy scallops and eat them…read moreoften. Unfortunately, the scallops had a noticeable odor and tasted off, which made me feel they were not fresh. I mentioned this to our waitress, and I was surprised that no replacement or alternative was offered. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary, but some acknowledgment or effort to address the issue would have been appreciated. Aside from the scallops, the rest of the food was okay. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we chose to sit outside, which made for a very enjoyable evening. Note: I would avoid ordering the scallops since they seem to not be fresh.

Adriatic Café Italian Grill was so good! As soon as we sat down, they brought out fresh bread, and…read morelet me tell y'all... you're definitely going to need a second basket because it was that delicious. I ordered the Shrimp Alfredo with blackened shrimp and added blackened chicken, and it was amazing. Everything tasted fresh, the Alfredo sauce was rich and creamy, and the blackened seasoning gave it the perfect kick. My best friend ordered the Pasta Sampler, which comes with lasagna, manicotti, and cheese ravioli topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. Every bite was flavorful, cheesy, and cooked perfectly. Of course, we had to try the Bellini, and it did not disappoint! It was refreshing, delicious, and paired perfectly with our meal. If you're looking for fresh Italian food with generous portions and delicious drinks, Adriatic Café Italian Grill is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back!

However, when the dish came out, it had very little sauce on the pasta.

He said he could add extra sauce, but it would be an additional three dollars, I declined the extra cost and ate half my meal. I've ordered this previously and the pasta was completely hidden in their delicious sauce. Their food has always been good, but this visit was definitely disappointing.

Terrific meal and all appetizers! And fabulous desserts…read moreafter a beautiful long meal- We started with the best salad anyone could order anywhere! A real thriller seasonal vegetable salad with everything in it from avocado chunks to asparagus pieces and all sorts of lettuces , red and green, and peas and many more veggies and grilled mushrooms and the crispy calamari fritti, with its own unique salad and then we had individual crispy eggplant parmigiana in metal dishes, which was superb. The birthday person ordered the Brookie sundae as his choice desert! It was classy and tasty ice cream with several containers of toppings like pecans, sliced strawberries, bananas and a small warm container of melted dark chocolate to put on top!! We ordered one after seeing this gorgeous masterpiece!! We also sampled the no alcohol--- Pina No - colada- it was generously sized and unusually delicious!! The waterway next to our table was delightful at night with the moon reflecting in the water and swans actively being directed in the adjoining waterway and basin . A delightful evening with excellent professional service and each course of appetizers arrived just as we ordered them! The waterway view with each bite, enhanced our dinner each moment. Truly lovely and relaxing at night with a large moon watching us dine! A memorable experience, as usual. We will definitely be back!!

Food: 8/10 | Ambience: 8/10 | Service: 8/10 Wait time:…read more3/10 We came here for my wife's birthday and made a reservation for three at 6 p.m. on a Tuesday, since weekends tend to be busy. We ordered two pizzas and a pasta, and our food arrived after about 30 minutes. The pizza and pasta were definitely on point--everything tasted great. We ordered dessert afterward: a scoop of gelato and a chocolate torta, with one dessert kindly provided on the house for my wife's birthday. However, we waited around 20 minutes for the desserts, which felt long considering they seemed like items that should be ready fairly quickly. During that time, we noticed other guests who arrived later receiving their food sooner. It felt like the kitchen may have prioritized new food orders over desserts since we were nearing the end of our meal. Overall, the food and ambiance were good, but the wait times affected the experience. I'd recommend this place for takeout, though I'd be more hesitant to dine in if you're on a schedule. Us? We respectfully won't be coming back.

A tad shocked though, as to how pricey…read moreit all got in the end - essentially a drink (cocktail and beer)-sandwich - dessert meal for two costing $92, including tax and tip. Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

[EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.

Thrilling-- Careful if you order coffee- regular fill ups not possible here any more. Only if you are ordering a fresh cup of Americana in tiny cup like espresso will you receive another cup now!! The spinach omelette Florentine cannot be beat for light fluffy flavorful taste and fingerling sautéd potatoes with house terrific green salad served on beautiful plates!

This dish is incredibly generous with their shrimp portions. The ambience is relaxing with a semi - casual yet elegant atmosphere, making it a great spot for every occasion.

Prosciutto: just 3 teeny tiny slices for $6 (see pic). That's $2 a slice. Ricotta cheese was a better buy Steaks: the prime steak comes slice and with sauce. But the filet mignon for a few bucks more was definitely a better buy. I think it's a great place to just socialize and drink wine even though they don't have any happy hour specials ever per waiter. They have over 60 types and on tap I think she said. For us not being wine drinkers it was probably not a place we'd come back to just for the food
