Very good indeed !!

I have been to Italy many times and I can tell you that this place really does it for me. I have tried almost all of the entres and desserts and I am in awe.

I am a regular at this place...probably two or more times a week. Many times, I have been present after closing hours and have witnessed the employees literally going over every inch of the place in order to clean it for the following day.

I just experienced the Italian cake yesterday and I thought I was in Heaven. The same is true of the cheesecake and fruit tarts.

The fish is devine and the sauces that accompany the various dishes are a scrumptious delight. I could not say more.

They have a salad station where a woman creates your salad for you from an assortment of greens and other accompaniments. From capers to olives the sky is the limit. And all of the dressings are made daily. This place is "the deal".

I am so glad to see a success in this new plaza in Town and

Country.

Give it a shot and tell me what you think !!

Your gonna love it !! Bon Apetite

Simply, the best!

I usually never give anything a 5 star rating, but with Pronto Cucinino I could not find much wrong with them! The restaurant gives the feel of an Italian La Madeleine. You order at the register and they bring your food to the table you are sitting at. The chicken Alfredo is delicious, fresh, and has a perfect Alfredo sauce. The pizza was a bit crispy for my tastes, but my son had that so I just had a bite of his (pizza is not my thing to begin with, so that's that). The Cesar salad was excellent; even with the capers in it, it tasted good. The cokes from the fountain are perfect (a lot of places' cokes seem too syrupy or too carbonated). The garlic mashed potatoes are a must, and the cheese cake is good. We split our meal, and their portions are not large. We ended up spending about $20.00 for two adults and a child.

The chocolate cake is good, but the coffee in it should be omitted; as it leaves a weird aftertaste. Overall I was very pleased with this place and plan on many more returns!

• Pros: Excellent food, fresh, clean restaurant.
• Cons: Parking needs improvement, pizza is a bit too crispy

est salads, great tasting Italian, and just the right proportions! Although we live in Pasadena, we spend as much time in Houston as we can as we love the city. We were so happy to locate such a neat place to eat a good meal.

• Pros: Best Salads-choice of size.
• Cons: None
