The Best New Restaurants in Houston, February 2025

"Located above Local Foods in Rice Village, this new Italian-American trattoria offers an enticing spin on classics, with 100-layer lasagna made with oxtail, chicken parmesan, and cresta di gallo, a throwback pasta from the Pass & Provisions that combines roasted and pickled mushrooms and toasted yeast in a Parmesan cream sauce. The Tigelle platter, an extravagant snack plate, is filled with antipasti like coppa, fermented leeks, Parmesan, and whipped burrata, which can be stuffed into the warm, aromatic, ampersand-imprinted flatbread that’s baked-to-order. Diners can seal the experience with a slice of towering tiramisu and the warm and frothy Incorretto, Milton’s unconventional take on a caffé corretto that combines homemade aerated amaro and pistachio milk." - Brittany Britto Garley
