Joe’s Pizza & Pasta: A Pie The Size Of Texas

March 26, 2013 by

It can be very, very difficult to find quality Italian in the state, with chains like the Olive Garden dominating the restaurant landscape. But if you’ve got a hankering for a classic Italian pizza, thankfully the family-owned Joe’s Pizza & Pasta bucks the trend, offering all your favorites in massive portions for reasonable prices. Regulars rave about the meatball subs and the wide variety of pasta dishes, including an excellent lobster ravioli. The pies are New York style, made from scratch and cooked in a traditional pizza oven with a variety of excellent toppings. The ambience isn’t much to speak of, but the service is some of the friendliest in town, especially to regulars. Joe’s Pizza & Pasta is a fine example of the old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Amerigo’s Grille: Steakhouse, Italian-Style

March 19, 2013 by

If there’s one thing Texans know, it’s beef. So when locals rave about the cuts at Amerigo’s Grille, wise ears listen. This high-end restaurant, opened in 1994 in the rapidly developing Woodlands area by Casey and Nancy Kosh, has attracted Houston area high rollers for the last decade and a half with high-quality food in an attractive atmosphere. Chef Arturo Osorio brings his expertise with modern Italian cuisine to the table each day, using freshly sourced local ingredients as well as the best from around the world in his dishes. The menu is remarkably broad, with people raving about nearly everything on it, from the delectable beef carpaccio to the tender sea bass. Long waits have been reported—both to get a table and to get service. Prices are also somewhat high for the area, although the quality of the food makes up for that.
