Citysearch Editorial Review. One of Houston’s very few authentic Sicilian restaurants inhabits a quaint, cozy house sandwiched between the Med Center and a Mister Car Wash. The small (perhaps slightly cramped) space lends itself to intimate dinner dates over the Mediterranean melt-in-your-mouth flavors of their nouvelle cuisine. Attention is paid to atmosphere at this family-owned establishment, as the elderly Tino wanders from room to room strumming classic Spanish songs on his guitar while the wait staff keeps the Chianti flowing and offers a robust “Buon appetito!” as they deliver your dish. Choice entrées include lamp chops with porcini mushrooms, veal Sorrenta with eggplant, ham, and mozzarella, and crab-stuffed pasta shells. For dessert, the moist rum cake is a must.

Great food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended. Attentive service, very relaxing, and the food is excellent. It is our home restaurant away from home (the Florida Keys).

Not Close. The service is fine but the staff can be trained. The food is a typical of an American Italian restaurant with really not much to know about Italian food.

A cozy and romantic dining experience. This is such a small house to convert into a restaurant, but for this location it is perfect - don't drive too fast, you might just miss it! Great wine service and abundant menu.
