"Houstonians may be familiar with this rustic Italian restaurant from Round Top, but it has since opened an outpost in Houston, neighboring its sister restaurant Armandos in River Oaks. In addition to a refined menu with highlights like caviar three ways, a grilled Caesar salad, and pasta plates galore, the restaurant shines when it comes to service. Visit during weekend brunch when a combination of breakfast plates, pasta, and sandwiches are on offer." - Megha McSwain
