"Despite being one of the city’s newer Italian restaurants, Triola’s Kitchen has a rich history. Owner Frank Triola follows in his grandfather Frank Azzarelli’s footsteps (the chef reportedly opened the first Italian restaurant in Houston in the 1940s), serving up saucy plates of pasta, including a decadent seafood lasagna, crispy calamari, and a classic take on spaghetti and meatballs. Don’t forget to bring your favorite bottle of wine — Triola’s is BYOB." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
