"Among the many new Italian restaurants that have flooded Houston recently, Dante’s holds court in a quiet corner of Westheimer Oaks between River Oaks District and Highland Village. Small and intimate, the dining space boasts a chef’s counter offering prime views into the kitchen and extends out to a large open-air patio. Red and white sauce pastas are a safe bet, but mains like the duck breast with carrot cream are worth considering, too." - Megha McSwain
