I can't say enough good things about Della Costa Pasta in Tomball! This place is a hidden gem that…read morecombines a fresh pasta store with an amazing bakery right next door. It's the perfect stop whether you're grabbing a quick meal, stocking up on ingredients, or treating yourself to something sweet. Inside the main pasta store, you can actually watch the pasta being made fresh right in front of you -- it's fascinating! There's a pasta counter where you can order it directly after it's made, so you know you're getting it at peak freshness. They also offer convenient meals to go and daily family specials that are a total lifesaver. We tried the lasagna special with breadsticks, salad, and a dessert, and it was absolutely delicious -- hearty, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The portions are generous and perfect for feeding the whole family without any hassle. The store carries a wonderful selection of imported items too, like high-quality olive oils, pestos, and sweet treats that you won't easily find elsewhere. It feels like a little slice of Italy right here in Tomball. Next door at the bakery, the aroma hits you the moment you walk in -- freshly baked breads, pastries, and all kinds of delightful goodies. They also have a coffee bar, making it the ideal spot to sit for a moment, enjoy a cappuccino, and pair it with one of their amazing baked treats. Everybody on the staff is super friendly and genuinely helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. There's plenty of parking right there, and they even have a rewards program so you can earn points on your visits -- a nice little perk! If you love authentic Italian flavors, fresh ingredients, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, you absolutely need to stop by Della Costa Pasta and the neighboring bakery. Whether you're cooking at home or looking for a ready-made meal, this place will not disappoint. We'll definitely be back again and again!

We decided on several jarred sauces to save for future use, gelato, and then fresh sauce, fresh pasta, and then their prepared sausage and peppers. We made all the fresh items that night and were blown away by the quality and flavor. It was so much better than Italian food from local restaurants and so fun to prepare at home. They also had super cute items that would make nice gifts. We can't wait to try more options as everything looked amazing!

We started our meal off with some fabulous cocktails but the waitress who said she was in training brought our drinks without using a tray and her fingers were all over my martini glass and my husband's drink near the rim where we were gonna drink out of! She was trying very hard to keep her hand steady and I thought for sure it might spill it. I wiped the glass off but still...Gross! That's what the stem is for! Straw please! Why was she not being monitored if she was still in training or at least properly trained? Do I fully blame her...no. Then she picked up our leftovers to box up and she piled up the dishes on the plate of food we were to take home! I almost lost it! Does she lack some common sense? Yes! Who piles dishes on top of my food when I'm supposed to eat it later? WTF? I was afraid to eat my leftovers after this debacle. Where did she get her food card? Having worked in hospitality for many years I gotta say train your wait staff properly and keep a shadow with them until they're fully trained to serve and then guess what? Some people are just not cut for white table cloth service. After spending over $150 here I was very disappointed. I hope they fix this mess. Our visit was unacceptable.

I wish I could remember the server's name, but he was an older gentleman with a gray ponytail he took care of us like we were the only person in the restaurant. The service was awesome. We enjoyed the meal in the service so much. We didn't realize that we had been there for over 2 1/2 hours. We had no pressure. The waiter said just enjoy yourself and that's exactly what we did. I am sure we will be back very soon

Walk up counter service with a menu split neatly into cold cut and oven baked sandwiches. Going with the Devito, my mind was thoroughly blown by how flavorful the red sauce and meats were all together, it had a combination of textures from the crusty bread cured cuts that made it fun to chew through every bite. My Stallone was also just such a pleasant mix of flavor with the pesto playing a bigger role on the cold cut options. This is one of the places where I feel like you can spin the wheel and get a winner with whatever fate decides. Things seem pretty easy and affordable here. Portions were pretty big here and around $12-$15 a sandwich, more than enough for a single person with some for a midnight snack later. There's a good bit of seating inside with some red gingham table clothes to eat over. It's worth the visit if your in Montgomery or after a day on the Lake!

My friends raved about this place and they had every reason to.

I'd have to say, the sandwich was pretty life changing and it's something I want to try to replicate, but likely can't 100%. Although they have many sandwiches to choose from, the Stallone was the one recommended to me. The bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and has a concoction of pesto, cheese, tomato and garlic? Inside it's LOADED with capicola, ham, salami, soppresata, and provolone. The sandwich was definitely a flavor bomb and I still think about it til this day. I would love to go back and try some other sandwiches of theirs too!

Marco was our server at dinner and recommended the best dish and wine for me: a glass of Chianti with the Black Seafood Spaghetti. We also enjoyed the warm bread, oil and vinegar for the table. Delicious! The kids liked the pancakes and fruit. My husband and I had custom omelets and the breakfast buffet. They cooked the same breakfast buffet items each day. The buffet included polenta, bacon, chicken apple sausage, scrambled eggs, fruit, yogurt/granola, pastries, charcuterie, healthy juices and more. Our kids ate free because of their ages. We would go back. I'm giving it four stars instead of five because some of the breakfast buffet items were not as delicious as they could have been. My husband had the short rib for dinner, which looked delicious to me but he said it was too fatty. He didn't enjoy it as much as others said in the reviews.

It's located off the Waterway near…read morethe Westin hotel and upstairs of this place is a club/lounge called Como that's really for the old soul but has a great balcony area overlooking the Waterway. We came here for my mother's birthday and she loved it. Our server was nice and attentive even though she was fairly new here she said. We ordered a bunch of food and enjoyed dessert. It's very authentic Italian but very modern at the same time. *Bruschetta is a must try for an appetizer. *Black spaghetti was a favorite! You have to try this if you're a seafood fan. *Spinach Pappardelle is also a hit! Yummy lump crab in this dish by the way. Will definitely be coming back here for another occasion soon.

We intended to go to Charm Thai over the weekend and parked at Local Table by mistake. We returned…read moretoday to correct the error. The outdoor patio looked pleasant. We did not sit there because it was hot. We sat indoors. It was just me and my child. Our waitress did not mention that kids (12 and under) eat free all day Mondays (and 10 am - 12 noon on weekends). I learned this from reading Google reviews after we had already ordered. After I asked, she confirmed the promotion and allowed us to add a kids meal since we had already ordered an adult entrée, which is the required condition. We ordered a kids' pizza. You can pepperoni for $1 but it's a free add on Mondays. Not gonna lie, pizza tasted off. Kid said it and I ignored her. Then I tried it and ack. We brought the rest home and stuck it in the fridge but it tasted even worse the next day. Tossed in trash. Service required frequent prompting. Like pulling teeth. I had to ask about the drink included with the kids meal. And yes Milk is an option. I also had to ask about the cookie that is supposed to come with the meal. We did not receive one. She said they had chocolate chip only as oatmeal and sugar cookies were gone. I said fine. We never got anything. So I went to the take out stand and we were told they were out of cookies. But they offered us a small brownie instead. Unfortunately however it contained nuts. For an appetizer, we ordered the cast iron spinach artichoke dip. The chip‑to‑dip ratio was not balanced. We ran out of chips way before the dip was gone. We also ordered the cast iron skirt steak (yes lots of cast irons). I requested medium rare. It arrived medium well and slightly tough however. You'd think they could easily tell this since they slice it all up before serving. It was not seasoned, but presumably that is because it is intended to be used with the chimichurri sauce provided. No salt on the tables. Overall, the experience and the food were marginal and borderline acceptable, but definitely unremarkable. Service is another story however. She was nice, just not very good at her craft.

It's pretty greasy and really thin with a huge flop. Undercarriage was good. Size wise I don't know if it's a good value. It had the length but not the width to match.

I also want to recognize Patrick, who was working in the back stocking/unloading items. He took the time to go check for a product for me, came back personally, and let me know it was unavailable. I appreciated the effort and professionalism. Unfortunately, the experience at checkout completely changed the tone of my visit. The cashier, Marilyn, never greeted me, never acknowledged me when I spoke to her, and never thanked me at the end of the transaction. From beginning to end, there was not a single word exchanged from her side. When she handed me my receipt, her demeanor felt dismissive and honestly unpleasant. Idk what that attitude was about but imagine how quickly this could've gone downhill had I handled her just as rudely as she handled me. What stood out most is that there was no negative interaction beforehand that would have explained the behavior. Even if a greeting was somehow missed, there is no reason a customer should leave without at least hearing "thank you." One employee's poor customer service can easily overshadow the positive work of others, and that's exactly what happened here. Whole Foods needs to do better with consistency in customer experience, especially at the register where customers leave with their final impression of the store.
