- JJessicaHouston •4 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWe normally love North Italia. They put us in a back room where there were several parties celebrating birthdays and such so it was very, very loud but like I said not our typical experience. We had a reservation, so I felt like more consideration in seat selection could have taken place, but otherwise, food & service were great.More infoNorth Italia - WoodlandsPrice: Moderate• Italian• The Woodlands•4.6
- MMarieHouston •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoNestled in the heart of Market Street, Schilleci’s serves up an authentic from scratch Cajun food that’s hard to find outside Louisiana. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere transports you to the Louisiana bayou, with its rustic decor, soft jazz playing in the background, and the spicy, savory aroma of Cajun spices wafting through the air. The menu is a tribute to traditional Cajun flavors, featuring everything from jambalaya to crawfish étouffée, and each dish seems to carry a story. The gumbo, packed with sausage, shrimp, and tender chicken, is rich and smoky, with just the right amount of spice. It’s one of those dishes that wraps you in comfort with every bite. Their shrimp étouffée is a must-try, loaded with plump shrimp and served over fluffy rice that soaks up the decadent sauce beautifully. For those looking for a kick, the creole and aged ribeye to perfection didn’t disappoint— it’s a flavor bomb of bold spices, perfectly balanced. And if you’re a fan of po’boys, don’t miss out on their shrimp po’boy: fried to golden perfection and nestled in a fresh, soft baguette with a zesty sauce. Finish off with a beignet, fresh out of the fryer, dusted in powdered sugar. The staff is as warm as the cuisine, making you feel like family. For anyone craving an authentic Cajun experience with a hearty dose of Southern hospitality, and may my daughter birthday dinner incredibly special. This is a gem that will keep you coming back for more. This place is a true taste of Louisiana right here in The Woodlands. Thank you, Nikole!More infoSchilleci's New Orleans KitchenPrice: Expensive• Seafood• The Woodlands•4.8
