"Long before Brasserie 19 appeared in River Oaks, La Griglia was the lively West Gray restaurant Houstonians flocked to for good eats and great people-watching — and they still do. The scene-y Italian haunt is known for its classic pasta plates and wood-fired pizzas, plus a slew of hearty mains like brick chicken and lump crab-topped Gulf snapper. Take to the bar or patio with an aperol spritz and wholly enjoy a leisurely River Oaks evening." - Megha McSwain
