I ordered the large meat pizza: pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, and American bacon. From the first bite, I knew this was different. There was a subtle hint of lemon woven through the flavor, and the sauce was exceptional rich without overpowering everything else. The cheese was so perfectly melted that it practically fell from the slice under its own weight, like ribs coming clean off the bone. The crust deserves its own mention. Thick, crunchy, and substantial without ever becoming tough. The pizza arrived fresh and genuinely hot, creating that rare combination of texture and freshness that is surprisingly difficult to find. And then there was the service. Perfect. The owner cooked the pizza, and somehow that made the entire experience make sense. This wasn't food assembled because a customer ordered it. This felt like something someone actually cared about making. The atmosphere continues that feeling. Outside, the restaurant is minimalist. Inside, it transforms into a classic Italian bar, complete with paintings and opera playing softly in the background. It feels lived-in. It feels intentional. The prices are reasonable considering the quality. I've had pizzas that tasted like Digiorno. I've had pizzas that tasted like something you'd get at Chuck E. Cheese. This was neither. This was made with love. A rare pizza that deserves every star.

Despite that, the order still wasn't ready at the agreed-upon pickup time and was pushed back another 30 minutes. The lack of time management and communication is unacceptable. When a customer gives a restaurant four hours' notice, there should be more than enough time to properly plan and execute the order. Unfortunately, this experience reflects poorly on the management and ownership. It gives the impression that customer service and respecting customers' time simply aren't priorities. More importantly, it's disappointing that the employees don't appear to have been properly trained or given the tools needed to manage orders and pickup times effectively. First time here, and unfortunately, it will be my last. I won't be returning or recommending this restaurant to others. If you are single with all the time to waste then by all means go, but a working family just trying to get dinner for the family I should have went to my go tos like Crust Pizza, Marcos, or Pizza Hut.

You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Only saw 1 person at the counter and she was very friendly but I was a little thrown when the kids drink that comes with the meal is fountain drinks only but there's no option for juices. All were sodas and the Fanta orange was not mixed right and tasted sour so we were forced to use tea. Definitely would suggest being able to get a lemonade bottle in place of sodas for kids or bringing in a juice option. Loved the complimentary bread that dipped well with the sauce of my Sorrento dish but I would certainly suggest a dipping sauce to go with the bread but it was still a nice touch. Our adult entrees were plentiful and full of flavor. I loved the capers and mushroom mix in my Sorrento dish. Shrimp portions are skimpy but for the price can't complain. We were a little disappointed with the portion received for the kids butter noodles. Thankfully our child loaded up on the bread.

Disappointing experience and definitely not worth the price…read more This was our first time trying Marvinos, and unfortunately, I can say we will not be coming back. We were seated quickly and ordered our food shortly after arriving. However, it took over an hour for our food to come out. During that entire time, no one came by to check on us or give us an update. We could see several waiters standing around talking, which made the lack of attention even more frustrating. Eventually, a waiter came by and asked what we were waiting for. I told him we had been waiting for our food for over an hour. He went to check on it and came back saying it would be "two more minutes." I ordered the 12 oz American Wagyu New York Strip, medium, with mashed potatoes. I have never had to wait that long for a steak, especially at this price point. When the food finally arrived, the steak was extremely disappointing. I ordered my steak medium, but it came out very unevenly cooked. Parts were closer to well-done while other sections were still medium-rare. Only about a third actually being medium. It was also tough and lacked flavor. After waiting over an hour, I expected much better. The mashed potatoes were actually good and probably the only part of the meal I really enjoyed. For dessert, I ordered the tiramisu. It was okay, but nothing particularly memorable or worth mentioning. We also witnessed a very concerning situation at the table next to us. Their left over food had apparently been lost, and when it was brought back out, they were given someone else's leftovers. The customer immediately pointed out that it wasn't his food, and the restaurant had to make him a new meal because he understandably hadn't touched it. Overall, we paid about $155 for two, and for that price, I expected a much better experience, especially in terms of service, food quality, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, the long wait, poorly cooked and tough steak, lack of service, and the situation we witnessed with another customer made the experience very disappointing. Definitely not worth the money or time.

Honestly the worst thing for me was they serve Pepsi products and Im a Coke guy! Haha!!! I got over it fast with the great food and service. More details below, but I recommend you stop by if you haven't yet!!! Trattoria is in a nice strip center, so frankly we have been passing it by for years, not really thinking about it. We decided to change that and to check out a new to us place. When we arrived we noticed the place was nice and clean, waitstaff was friendly and sat us immediately. The restaurant was maybe a little over half full. We ordered an appetizer of wings and caesar salad, then a pizza and chicken parm with spaghetti, and a Tiramisu for dessert. In going to get picky here because its hard to find anything that was bad. Wings were good, pretty standard, probably could find similar in restaurants throughout the city. The pizza was a bit greasy, I just held it over my plate for a few seconds and let that drip away. My wife didn't like the caesar salad, I did. So I guess thats a toss up...idk. One thing you will notice consistently, our pictures were mostly taken after part was already eaten because we would dive in to the yummy food before we got the picture!!! We'll be back!!!

The demographic of customers were definitely older. Some there with their adult kids and grandkids. I went for Houston Restaurant Weeks and so I had the 3 course meal. They start you out with complimentary garlic bread and olive oil with herbs. Wasn't my favorite oil and herb dip. But it was nice. The portion sizes were big! It was a very good bang for your buck. The arancini was very cheesy and it came with plenty of sauce. I wish they were a bit crunchier. The seafood pasta was tasty and had just a hint of spice. The lemon cake was very lemony and I took it home to my daughter that loves lemons and she loved it.
