The Best Restaurants and Bars in The Woodlands | Eater Houston

"From longtime local restaurateurs, the Orioli family, this traditional northern Italian restaurant is a mainstay in The Woodlands, serving dishes made from recipes passed down generations. Delicately grilled red snapper with white wine lemon butter sauce and squid ink fettuccine with scallops, shrimp, squid, octopus, clams, and mussels reflect the family’s history working in seafood restaurants of coastal Venezuela. Homemade pasta such as ravioli di formaggio and lasagna della Nonna are filling favorites, as are its succulent braised meat dishes, which practically call out for a bottle from the restaurant’s deep list of Italian wines. Save room for the classic tiramisu and limoncello cake." - Laura L. Green
