Upscale Italian fare featuring ingredients sourced directly from Italy
"An Italian restaurant in Houston’s Harlow District owned by Tilman Fertitta that reflects his Sicilian heritage and personal connection to Italy; Fertitta has visited Italy numerous times and has described himself as an admirer of the country’s culture, food, fashion, and patriotic spirit." - Brittany Britto Garley
"If a romantic getaway to Italy isn’t in the budget, a reservation at La Griglia in the newly minted Harlow District might be the next best thing. This longtime Landry’s favorite got a recent revamp and features a dimly lit dining room and lounge, along with a moody covered patio complete with its own dedicated bar. Signature pizza and pasta dishes shine on the menu with ingredients sourced directly from Italy." - Brianna Griff
"An Italian restaurant now located in Houston's Harlow District that is owned by Tilman Fertitta; CBS News reports that sources say he is set to be named U.S. Ambassador to Italy, and his representatives are not commenting. The venue is cited as part of Fertitta's Italian connections (his family is of Sicilian descent) amid questions about his qualifications to serve as ambassador given he has never held public office. Fertitta owns more than 600 properties nationwide and oversees numerous casinos and restaurant brands, and he has given $420,000 to PACs backing Donald Trump and hosted many fundraisers; Trump called him "a friend of mine for a long time," and Fertitta called Trump "a tough landlord" while praising his support for businesses during the pandemic." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This Landry’s restaurant got a major makeover once it relocated from River Oaks to Harlow District in Montrose. Combining upscale Italian dining with an inviting atmosphere, La Griglia serves up pizzas, classic pasta dishes like spaghetti carbonara, and spicy rigatoni, plus entrees like whole roasted hen served tableside with roasted potatoes and chicken jus. The lush patio, complete with a retractable roof, is ideal for outdoor dining under the oaks." - Marcy de Luna
"A restaurant that highlights rustic, hands-on service by carving a whole roasted hen at the table and serving it alongside roasted potatoes and a chicken jus for a comforting, communal presentation." - Marcy de Luna
