The 12 Best Italian Restaurants In Houston

"Somehow this little bistro in Bellaire manages to feel casual, romantic, and a little nostalgic all at the same time. If the Rat Pack, a couple celebrating their 20th anniversary, and a few friends just out for drinks and pizza could all walk into Enoteca Rossa at the same time, not a single group would feel out of place. Enoteca focuses on fairly standard dishes for a neighborhood Italian restaurant, like burrata salads, bowls of housemade pasta, and wood-fired pizza. While this place might feel a little cliche or overly sentimental, sort of like a set from a Lifetime movie, we’re not above enjoying a few tropes, especially when those tropes come with extra shaved parmesan.
