The Scene
Tastefully decorated without being overwrought, this remodeled 75-year-old farmhouse is elegant and accommodating. Few establishments can rival this family-run eatery as an overall dining experience. Service is casual but crisp, the relatively economical menu concise and the furnishings as well turned out as anything you'll find in the toniest of places. Given its location in the shadow of the ostentatious Galleria, Crapitto's unassuming grace is refreshing and remarkable.
The Food
How can you not order something called Grandma's Lasagna? Turns out, the old gal had a pretty good recipe (and at less than $10, it's a bargain). Carnivores will be happy with a hefty veal chop slathered in Rocquefort. Eggplant enthusiasts must try the Julio appetizer, with delicate slices fried golden without the usual sogginess. Past that, the offerings are perfectly adequate. There's also an appealing by-the-glass wine assortment.

My family and I have been going to crappito’s for many years now, but unfortunately and during my recent visits both for a business lunch and at night with my wife, I noticed that the food quality isn't what it used to be. I ordered a risotto for my lunch and my client ordered the cannelloni, but both dishes were undercooked; the risotto wasn't as chewy as it supposed to be, and the cannelloni was cold from inside. Later that week when I went back with my wife, I was disappointed about the kitchen not been able to accommodate my wife's small changes to one of her favorite dish, on my part my veal chop was just not cooked right, I made it known but nothing was done about it. I am only making these comments so that someone would look into the food quality and the way it is made, I wonder who is running the kitchen. I will still go back to Crappitto's, but if I have any further disappointments I will then take my business somewhere else.

My parents were in town recently, and we decided to try Crapitto's. What a great find!! My mother is unable to walk very well- which I had indicated in the reservation- and our table was easily accessible for her. This meant a lot because they had clearly considered my request. The food was just delicious- I had the chicken with artichokes, my husband had the pork chop, my father had the capellini del mar (?) and my mother had another chicken dish. All were just incredibly delicious!! We were so impressed with the dining experience, that we have returned several times- the last time was with one of our sons- and all visits have been very impressive. This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants in Houston.

Reading the reviews I've been dying to try this place. My bf and I got there early and we were seated right away. Service was great, but the food was only so so. I guess I had expected a lot, but it wasn't anything special. I might try it again sometime in the future.
