Best Pizzerias in Westside

We dined on Christmas Eve and it was fantastic! We’re visiting for the holidays and had not been before and are so glad we picked Grotto to dine at. The food was delicious. And the service was unbelievable. A very busy night and our waiter was perfect. Made sure we had everything we needed. Checked on us. We even met the manager who was awesome. Delicious food and great service. A perfect combo for any evening out!

Among the best Italian restaurants in Houston. Consistently excellent.

Run don't walk to this restaurant! Don't let the casual and unassuming ambiance fool you -this is a true delight! Great 3-course lunch menu for $29 with generous portions. Everything made from scratch daily including pizza, pasta and sorbet, and everyone in our picky family of 5 can't wait to go back. We had chicken poblano soup, margherita pizzas, pappardelle, and an assortment of sorbets. My 11-yr old self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur says it's the best pizza she's ever had. The owner/chef is there working hard in the kitchen and greeting customers in the dining room with the utmost hospitality. We also brought home a huge bottle of their delicious olive oil for only $27.

My party of three had evening tickets to The Nutcracker ballet so made 6:00 pm reservations for dinner at Birraporetti's. We arrived 20 minutes early so I expected to wait for our table but we were seated right away. Our waitress was amazing and our food was fantastic! One person had pasta with shrimp while the other two EACH ordered the large (appetizer) seafood platter as our entree. Yes, two platters for two people. Everything on the platter - grilled shrimp, crab cakes, and fried calamari was cooked to perfection! Their seafood sauce (like tartar sauce but better!) was delicious as always. Then after the ballet we came back for dessert and coffee. I had the tiramisu, one person had creme brulee, and the third had cheesecake. They were all delicious! Could not recommend this restaurant more!

I had a great time here. The food was amazing. We have the Bolognese pasta, the Lasagna, and the Brussel sprouts
