"This storied white tablecloth restaurant, which has famously served eight U.S. presidents, remains an important player in Houston’s fine dining scene after nearly 60 years. It is known for its purely decadent take on Italian cuisine. Tony’s expertise lies in decadent pasta dishes, some of which are presented with fragrant, freshly shaved black truffles, and fettuccine with tender jumbo lump crab meat. Pro tip: Visit during its weekday happy hour, and score bar bites like Italian meatballs and Tony’s cheeseburger that won’t break the bank." - Brittany Britto Garley
