   We experienced the most incredible Pallela filled with fresh clams, mussels, shrimp and much more. The atmosphere was quiet and we were greeted by the owner and chef, Arturo. This is truly a hidden neighborhood gem. The open flame fire burning oven keeps the ambiance warm and inviting.

   Very consistent in every aspect of a wonderful evening and meal. Everything we ate was delicious, as always, and the service is always amiable, dependable, and attentive. This has become our go to restaurant recently in Houston.

   I really wanted to give Arturo Boada a 5 star. The food and service was great (5 star). The wine was a different story. They had 6 red wines listed by the glass, only 2 (pinot and tempranillo) were available. Then they said most by the bottle were available, but I wanted a Super Tuscan blend (they had 5 listed, 4 under $100) - the only one they had was $150 (so 4 of 5 were not available). No cabernets or red blends, only Chianti, Barolo and Valapocella. Not sure what happened - they said their wines did not get delivered that week?

   One of the best chefs in Houston. Dining at this restaurant is a must. Always make a reservation as it is small and fills quickly

   Each time we eat at Arturo Boada’s Cuisine is better! The food is just awesome, we tried this time the French Onion Soup that was the day’s special and it was like being in Paris! Also the Shrimp Hennessy, delicious, I even finish the sauce which was like a very flavorful soup! For our main we had the Mama Sonia Ravioli with Crab, so delicious that I still have the delicate flavor in my mouth! The Snapper was extra fresh and cooked to perfection! To end that delicious dinner we had a spoon of Crème Brûlée, perfect size as the portions of the appetizers and the entrees are quite large. The ambiance is good for a quiet meal, for a birthday or anniversary celebration, or any friends meeting. Service is 1A, kind and professional. There is enough parking spaces, so no problem. Arturo, the owner and chef, came to our table to greet us, he is very friendly! Absolutely recommended! Great cuisine!

   We took a chance on this place a few years ago, but what an incredible find. Arturo is present, and he offers suggestions on his infamous menu. His staff welcomes you and treats you like family! I have tried everything on the menu and have loved it all! Arturo will also create for you anything that you would like. A very special family atmosphere that we have enjoyed taking our family to for special occasions. Please, pay a visit, and enjoy being taken to a place where life stops and family begins.

   We had a wonderful experience. We were waited on by several members of the staff including Arturo, the owner, who checked in with us several times. He made a few great recommendations and all were excellent. My sense is that anything they cook is topnotch. He also said they could cook what we wanted to order. I am not a big fan of food that is too spicy, so my paella came without spice. It was terrific. My wife had Arturo's tiramisu, which was excellent. One of the specials was French onion soup, and it was some of the best I have ever had. Everyone was friendly and jolly and stopped to chat without being in the way. We will be back soon.
