Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Southwest

Great patio, attentive service, tasty — with lots of tempting choices. Brought a friend for her first visit, and George’s won her over.

We had been to B.B. Italia several times and although the ambiance is lively and the restaurant has a unique theme openly welcoming their guests into what feels like a big family dinner party there were a couple of disappointments. For the value of the experience the service level and the quantity of food needs to go up several notches. The service level was lacking as our waitress had too many tables and randomly checked in on us. The food quality was consistent as in the past but the salad and entrees we had seem to be smaller in portions than in the past. It may be quite some time before we return given the competition in the Sugar Land area.

Refined restaurant with authentic Italian dishes. Chef Antonio is bright, motivated and full of energy, reflecting all this on his plates. Desserts are delicious.
