"Just steps from Daikin Park (still affectionately known as Minute Maid Park), this Italian eatery serves as the casual counterpart to its sister restaurant, Potente, next door. Like Potente, Osso & Kristalla is a watering hole for Astros fans on game days, but it remains just as popular during the offseason. Find loaded Italian sandwiches, wood-fired pizzas, heaping plates of pasta like wild boar tagliatelle, picture-perfect cocktails, and a proper wine list. Visit during weekend brunch for corn-fried catfish and waffles, banana nut bread, and French toast." - Marcy de Luna
