Restaurants near Love Park

This is one of Houston’s best restaurants. Very good steak and arguably even better pastas. The Rigatoni in Vodka sauce is better than Carbone’s and their Lobster fra diavolo is stunningly good. Their Italian favorites like Veal Parm and Veal Milanese are also remarkable. The atmosphere and live piano music is the frosting on the cake. It’s a updated version Gene and Georgetti (Chicago).

We went for happy hour and had excellent food. It was still quiet and the server was fabulous.

Our dinner at Drake’s was just what we needed for a date night and a special time together for my boyfriends birthday. I appreciate the grace as we were running late and the team was accommodating and kind, even though we were behind schedule and closing was at 10p. Thank you for the hospitality. A little bit of kindness goes very long way.

The best steak restaurant in Houston. They have one significant flaw; the wine list. There are no reasonably priced wines on their list and many of the wines they do have are extremely overpriced.

I had given up on this restaurant because of the previous manager. I had a terrible experience at Ranch Saloon at the rodeo in 2023, and I mentioned it to the mgr when I took a friend to Trattoria soon after that. He was so incredibly dismissive (as was the mgr at the Saloon) like the entire evening should have been expected because of the large crowd. Then the waitress would not let me order what I wanted from the lunch menu, and overcharged my friend and me. I’m so happy to try y’all again. The food was delicious today, and Luca was a fabulous waiter! Now I’ll be back on a regular basis with my family!
