Every interaction was memorable. Every bite, superb. We didn't want to leave - and the staff didn't want us to.

I told them as we left, we finally found somewhere in all of Houston we enjoyed more than our own food. And my wife is an incredible chef, so that is saying something, believe me. I'm never going anywhere else for true Italian cuisine. Those who work here, thank you so much. We were blown away by your kindness, understanding, your love for knowing multiple languages and how to make a restaurant feel like home in Italy. Thank you all so much. Wow.

For me, part of the charm with a restaurant like Villa Capri is connected to one simple fact: it is…read morean independent, family-owned operation. The Camera brothers, Francesco "Frankie" and Giuseppe, own Frenchie's in Clear Lake and Villa Capri in Seabrook. Out of everyone in my party visiting Villa Capri, I was the only one who has never been to Frenchie's, which tends to be a favorite of NASA astronauts and employees. What I really love about Villa Capri are the incredible outdoor waterfront views. From what I understand, the Camera family originally hails from the Isle of Capri in the Campania region of Italy. Knowing this, everything from the name of the restaurant to the location makes sense. My order consisted of the garlic bread with dipping oil (closer to aglio e olio than garlic confit) and linguine and clams with white wine sauce. I shared the bread, which I really liked, with the table. My favorite part of the meal was the linguine and clams. The flavor was sublime, and I liked the peppery essence in combination with other savory flavors. In fact, this was the best linguine and clams dish I've tried over the years. But going back to another aspect of Villa Capri that immediately caught my attention, the waterfront views were memorable and uniquely beautiful. I thought the service was good, but the waiter could have been more knowledgeable about the menu. Still, I would give grace on this aspect of things since it was his first day on the job. Luckily, I knew what I wanted to order fairly quickly, so it wasn't really an issue. The people who work at Villa Capri, in my experience, were very friendly. And parking here was easy. Overall, I would rate my experience here a 5/5. I definitely enjoyed my visit to Villa Capri.

We had a weekly ritual of going to Franco's Italian Restaurant. I 1st went there when they opened very long ago. Not long after my 2 tours in Viet Nam. The family that owned Franco's treated me like family and I'm fluent in Italian and we'd talk endlessly. I worked closeby at JSC. So, we went to Frenchies Italian Restaurant and pleasantly surprised by the excellent meal and service. We had Chicken Parm, Veal Parm, and Seafood Fradiavolo. Growing up in Brooklyn, I certainly know good Italian food. We live a few miles from Sal & Judy's Italian Restaurant which is outside New Orleans and rated 5 Stars (Yelp) and Zagat. Sal greets everyone that comes in and their marinara sauce is sold in all the local supermarkets and Walmart. Frenchies was no different from Sal's. Everything was perfect! I told Sal and he went to eat at Frenchies on his last trip to Houston. He called me and thanked me, that's Sal. I was sad Franco's closed after 50 years in Clear Lake but Frenchies was a great find. If you're ever on the North Shore outside New Orleans, try Sal & Judy's Italian Restaurant and decide if they're equally as good. Or, take a look at their website! Everyone in NOLA knows Sal Impastato (from Sicily). If you find yourself near Little Italy in Brooklyn. NY try Evelina, Barano, or Carmentas Italian Restaurants. Frenchies food is comparable quality to better NYC Italian Restaurants! I'll add pic's later! Thank-you, for 1st class Italian food. Bravo, assolutamente perfetto!

When we walked in, we were greeted and ask if we were picking up or staying, I answered we were staying. We were taken to a nice table, which was cleaned by the hostess, and seated. We got our menus and water, then it went downhill from there. We watched tables being served and nice conversations between wait staff and customers. Sadly, after more than 5 minutes, no server approached our table. The menus were down and we were ready to order. And... no one came over. We were passed by several times and the table next to us was checked on, but not us. So we didn't get to try anything as we took the hint that we were not important and left. Hopefully we misunderstood the idea of service here and didn't wait long enough. But more than 5 minutes with no hint of service was more than enough for us to wait. Good luck Frenchies, I'm sure your regulars will keep you moving along.

Updates of Texan eateries I like (1 of 2)…read more The food, the service, the small store ambiance, the parking situation, and the value are still excellent at Ivett's in League City. There should be no need to write an update. I see that my initial review was written about 5 years ago. This is about how they handle the transferral of totaled tabs to the credit card. When I go to the Houston area, I usually eat lunch at Ivett's twice a week - yes, it's that good. And it's doable because I tend to stay in their "Bay Area," which is south of the city near Space Center Houston and in the suburbs adjacent to large Galveston Bay. Here's what the deal is, and this happened last year and a year or two before that. When I get the bill, it's usually a number that has cents attached to it, thus an "uneven" sort of number. To this, I add a tip. If the final bill were to be $12.72, for example, I might add $2.28 to bring it to an even $15.00. (I've asked restaurant employees over the years if this is weird and they tell me they have customers who do this.) Fast forward to the charge hitting the credit card. In 2025, one charge went through a meaningless few cents higher and one charge went through without the tip altogether. I've never worked in a restaurant, so I don't know how the process works where the final bill is sent over to the credit card company. In this situation, I came out ahead. But that's not the point. I want the employees who were my servers to get their tips and get what I indicated on the copy that I signed. This same exact sort of scenario showed up a year or two before when I also visited twice ... with one lunch charge coming across without the tip. Another lunch charge must have been processed with an even dollar amount as the tip. Again, I came out ahead, if you even want to look at it that way, but I want the employee to get his or her tip. The price-quality-quantity here remains at 5 stars. That's why I have filed Ivett's away in my head. I've now landed on the pattern of lunch specials that I like in any given week - a chicken dish and the manicotti dish, so I come in for those. I did try the lasagna once and, since this is in the U.S. of A. and not fine dining, they use the thicker undulating sheets of pasta that I'm not a fan of. It's to be understood. It's what most Italian-American restaurants do. That dish might come in as a 4. I applaud Ivett's for being a small restaurant that is intent on serving its customers and its community. However, if the tip for that one customer's meal is $2.28, $2.74, or $3.11 because the customer is seeking to hit a "normal" looking final number, then it's $2.28, $2.74, or $3.11. And, if they don't enter the tip at all, then I feel bad because the employee didn't get their tip and it makes me feel cheap ... cheaper than I already am to some people. Fix this little clerical issue by instructing your employees how to do so ... and keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing you all (translation: y'all) the next time I'm in the area.
