All of it was incredibly delicious and well-seasoned.

From the exterior it’s an unassuming location, when you walk in the door it becomes the most elegant and beautiful space. We celebrated our anniversary; they made it extra special with rose petals on the table. Our server Alton was spectacular and made great recommendations. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or meal. It was absolutely fantastic.

Fantastic food, fresh handcrafted dishes were phenomenal. We had pasta, shrimp and classic lasagna. Pears and Gorgonzola appetizer is a must. Summer tiramisu was a light limoncello confection with the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Service was attentive but not overbearing. My new favorite for Italian!!

Gnocchi was very very rich too much cheese sauce could not enjoy flavor of homemade pasta! Osso bocco was also very rich! Great octopus appetizer-wonderful tender fish!

Although our Server was excellent and very attentive, we were a party of 4 and half way through the meal, someone in our party almost swallowed a large glass shard that was imbedded in his lemon Chicken dish. The Server was appropriately apologetic, said he would alert the kitchen immediately and that a manager would be out to talk to us. No manager every came. No offers to bring the guest another meal were made. We waited quite some time before we had to ask for our bill. The waiter had taken off the one meal that contained the glass. My husband and I had the same dish as the guest who found the glass piece in his. We were all very lucky that no serious damage took place.
The food was absolutely delicious but we expected more from a restaurant we've been frequenting for years.

Went last night with some friends who drove out from downtown houston for our regular dinner meet up rather than drive down to them. Everyone raved about the food, ambience and great service. Definitely going back. I used to think their sister restaurant Avanti as one of the best in the woodlands, but via Emilia tops it easily.
