Great mom & pop Italian with a cajun flare

It's always a treat to find a locally owned restaurant, especially when they offer such tasty dishes as The Italian Cafe specializes in. Come in, grab a menu, chose a table and order at the counter. Bring your own wine or purchase it on the way. Also, when Houston weather permits, The Italian Cafe offers outside dining to make the experience even more casual. Add that to its easy-to-find location on NASA Rd 1, and you've got a great place to satisfy your Italian cravings.

• Pros: Great location, abundant parking, and no tips necessary!
• Cons: Italian food ain't exaclty cheap

What a place!!

The first time I encountered this wonderful place, I knew it was an event I would never forget! I was right. And I have been eating here regulary since then. The food can be best described as fresh. All the sauces are made from scratch. Try the spicy tortellini, be forewarned that it is a little hot, but it's worth a little sting!

Another thing I like about the Italian Cafe is that you can bring in your own favorite bottle of wine. This alone saves you a small fortune.

The owners, Frank & Bess Piazza sure have a winner in the Italian Cafe. Wonderful food.
