"With its prime location on the Hotel Lulu property that’s steps from Henkel Square, this Italian restaurant is the crown jewel of Round Top. The rustic, white tablecloth spot is housed in an 18th-century stone building and has a two-story facade that towers over East Mill Street, giving passersby glimpses into its elegant dining room. The menu spans breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus weekend brunch, with highlights such as fresh baked focaccia with whipped honey butter, pappardelle with black angus beef tip bolognese, and a hearty carbonara. Under the Palacios-Murphy Hospitality umbrella of restaurants, Lulu’s is the sister concept of Mandito’s and has a secondary outpost in Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Brittany Britto Garley
