I stopped by for lunch on a weekday and it was fairly empty/ not busy! As it was just me, I only…read moreordered one meal so I can't speak for anything else besides the sliced beef udon. The menu was quite expansive but cohesive with Italian/ Asian fusion. I got seated and immediately was given a menu and cold water in a stainless steel cup. I ordered the sliced beef udon soup version (there's also an option for stirfy) but granted, today was cloudy and slightly windy so it called for soup. After placing my order, I was given the proper utensils and shortly after, a large piping bowl was placed in front of me! Flavor was good and the sliced beef was addicting.. the portion was a bit much for lunch to me so I had to ask for togo and the waitress came out and put it away for me in a custom togo bag that sealed so that was fun to leave with. The waitress was certainly very tentative and made sure other guests had their waters filled at all times so I'd love to come back to try out their other menu items like their omurice or their lobster creamy rice. Location: in the Dun Huang Plaza across from HMart. The parking is shared with many of its neighbors but if you plan it right, you'll be able to snag a spot close by and walk less than a minute. Price: $14 before tax and tip (ended up around $18 afterwards)

The food wasn't bad, but also nothing amazing either. While prices throughout their menu varied, it just doesn't feel like there was anything that stood out or provide value. It is definitely an alternative to the wide array of more traditional Asian cuisine in the area.

The Casetta family provides an extensive education on various products available so you know what you are getting! I was looking for something different and authentic as I have traveled throughout Italy from Milan-Florence-Naples-Rome-Amalfi Coast. So I know what they are selling is the truth!! They are available on the weekends at the farmers market for your convenience or you can stop by their store. The pasta and sauces are frozen. They also have bread available, pizza dough, and sausages from local farmers. What makes them unique is that they have chicken meatballs!!! Of course Beef meatballs are available-Both are marinating in light marinara sauce. Coffee is available and they have daily fresh made sandwiches for lunch. Dessert-Tiramisu This is my go to from now on for pasta and sauce!!! The service was amazing and they offered me a sample of a Biscotti that was to die for...I made the mistake of eating it without coffee because it was so good. I will be back to purchase more and will be bringing my mom. Thank you Casetta!!! You provided such a wonderful welcome!!!

We stumbled upon this spot & although the food isn't the best, the service makes up for it. Once we entered, the server greeted us right away. I'm not sure what her name was, but she was a sweetheart. Making sure our drinks were filled and we never ran out of complimentary garlic breads. The clientele seems to be on the older side and it looks like they've been regulars for a long time. We were the youngest people there and mind you we ain't spring chickens ourselves. But I'm happy to see George's has a lot of loyal customers. While the portions are huge and more than enough to take home, the prices are a bit steep for my liking & it doesn't match the quality either. The food is decent but not worth 25-30 dollars with those dishes. My date ordered the chicken Parmesan with pasta and I got my basic spaghetti with extra meat sauce. Both dishes were generous especially mine. They were not playing around on my dish. It was so much meat sauce that you couldn't even see any pasta. I thought his chicken Parmesan and my spaghetti was very strong in the tomato sauce department maybe a little too much. I like mine to have other seasonings to balance the acidity from the tomato sauce. Overall it was not a bad meal, it was so much food I had enough for lunch the next morning. The free garlic bread came out hot and fresh, fluffy on the inside and flaky on the outside. The service is warm and welcoming & even the owner came by to check in on us. Will I come back? Yes.

What's remarkable about George's is their consistency. The best Italian food ever? A stretch. But…read moreit is darn good. And you can always count on a good meal backed by good service at a fair price. Our group of 8 went with various dishes. My wife and I shared a Greek Salad (I gladly gave her my anchovies) and spaghetti with turkey meatballs. Toss some grilled shrimp on that salad and I'd have been more than satisfied. But I've always wondered why Italian restaurants serve Greek salads. Do Greek restaurants serve antipasti? But I digress. The pasta was el dente and well drained. The turkey meatballs were large and flavorful. The marinara, to me, is a bit bland. I prefer more zing. Nothing some red pepper flakes couldn't fix. Some folks can't take the heat, so it makes sense for George's to play it safe. I also appreciated George's not applying fees to "plot" dishes. And if you like great garlic bread, George's is calling your name.

It is so refreshing to find a restaurant with plenty of free parking and no need to pay valet…read moreparking tips. My food choices were the pizza Terzo Cerchio, and to take home, eggplant parmigiana and lasagna bolognese (see note below on take out choices). I would rate this pizza highly. The person making them, obviously not Italian, but well trained, resulting in a quality pizza. The Roman variant, pinsa, also available. Introduction of rice flour and soy flour with the wheat flour resulting in a more digestible dough. Many entree specials not seen elsewhere. Service, great. Ambiance, great. Based on my experience with the lasagna and the eggplant, I cannot recommend these as take out items that one would refrigerate and have a day or so later. Neither held up to second day consumption and were thrown out. These dishes should be considered for consumption at the restaurant, straight out of the kitchen while still hot. Melanzane parmigiana is not a dish from Parma. It is southern and a toss up on originating in Napoli, Calabria or Sicilia. The name likely derives from the Sicilian word parmiciana, referring to the wooden slats of shutters, mirroring the layered structure of the eggplant. But there are other theories.

Visited Davanti for the second time and found the experience much improved. Our waiter was…read moreexceptionally attentive. Although Davanti comes across as casual, there is a certain refinement that even some higher-end Italian places lack -- for instance, recommending how to eat a particular pasta dish or swapping out silverware without being asked. Food-wise, it was quite good. My husband described it as unique. We all loved the octopus appetizer. The Caesar, however, was bland -- skip it. They had a lasagna special that was cheesy, creamy, and smooth. It would be easy for such a decadent pasta dish to feel overwrought, but it was delightfully rich without crossing that line. My mother-in-law ordered a pasta with shrimp that was one note and forgettable. We all enjoyed the prosciutto pizza, though it wasn't the best I've ever had -- but that's likely because I prefer a tangier sauce, and this one leans more subtle.

Amar M was my server and was very solid as a server and would do well at any 5 star restaurant. OG is lucky to have him on board.

First off, get the Zucca chips. I could literally eat a whole basketful. I need to figure out what slicer and oil they use because I can never get mine this thin and crispy.

Cacio e Pepe is my favorite pasta, so I was a little disappointed they don't have it on the menu as a dish itself, but the arancini was delicious! For mains, my husband had the salmon. We ordered it medium and it came more well done, however, it was perfectly crispy on the outside and still moist in the center. Very tasty. I had the ricotta cavatelli, which might be the best pasta I've ever had. The shrimp were so plump and fresh. There was plenty of crab throughout. And the flavor had the perfect amount of salt and spice. My husband, who isn't a pasta person loved it too. It's a nice open space and service was friendly. We will definitely return to try more things.

As for what I had: Zucca chips: 3/5 what I received was much different from everyone else's pictures. My chips were much smaller and mostly pieces of chips. Maybe I got the bottom of the batch? The flavor was good, but because they were small and folded in on themselves, they held a lot of the oil. The oil did taste fresh though. Eggplant parm (small plate): 3/5 most cheese and very little eggplant. The flavor was good. My waitress told me it came with noodles but then no noodles came out. I know this place is popular and everyone seems to like it. I would try it one more time just to see if maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but overall I didn't think it was worth the money.

Excellent group dinner, impeccable service…read more If you're looking for a place in Houston that can handle a group dinner with great food and attentive service, Palazzo's absolutely delivers. Our group of 10 had dinner at Palazzo's Italian Restaurant this evening and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. We were seated in the wine room, which turned out to be the perfect space for our group. It felt comfortable and semi-private, making it easy for everyone to relax, talk, and enjoy the evening together. The service was impeccable. Manager Anthony Lascano was clearly on top of everything in the dining room and made sure guests were well taken care of throughout the evening. That level of attention really elevates the experience. Food highlights from our table: * Calamari - light, crispy, and great for sharing * Focaccia bread - warm and flavorful * Anastasia pizza - excellent and a favorite at the table * Meatball pizza - a bit different from years past but still very good * Frutti di mare - rich, flavorful, and satisfying For dessert, the kids were thrilled with their sundaes. We ended the evening with a cappuccino and two black coffees, which were the perfect finish to a great meal. Tip: If you're dining with a larger group, ask about seating in the wine room--it was ideal for our table of 10. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and consistently delicious food. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Palazzo's.
