Poor Service

by Ellada at Citysearch

This location has poor service, Management does not strive to make your experience memorable. While I was waiting, management argued with presumably an employee over the telephone about working their shifts. They seem to care about taking your money but you won't get much in return.

• Pros: Location, hours
• Cons: service, lack of attention to detail

My favorite Italian restaurant!

by Live2Laugh at Citysearch

I LOVE this place and highly recommend it. The food is great, even my picky sister found food she loved. My usual waiter is very outgoing and entertaining, although I had a so-so experience with another server, but the food was still great! I look forward to bringing more people here!

• Pros: Everything is wonderful!
• Cons: None!

Food was great!

by gata5256 at Citysearch

I visited the downtown location off of Main St. on a Tuesday evening. New to Houston, it was the only place that was busy. After I received my entrée, I could see why. I ordered the Pork Tenderloin with the reduction sauce and it was great, maybe a tad down, but the sauce made up any difference. It was served with sweet potatoes filled crepes that were to dye for. I washed the flavors away with their 05 Chianti.

I did get lost in the wait rotation for about 5 minutes after being seated which is not a big deal to me but I know some are quite demanding for waters and bread.

**What really made up any short comings was when I ordered my dish. The waitress let me finish ordering, and then went through the toils of explaining the meal to make sure it was exactly what I was expecting, perfect.

The only negative thing I could really find in the experience was, while being outside, beggars were constantly asking for change. There is nothing the restaurant can do, but I will set inside next time.

• Pros: Excelent pork tenderloin/wine list
• Cons: Beggers while dining
