The passionate General Manager responsible for acclaimed Houston establishments DaMarco and Dolce Vita has embarked on a new culinary adventure that will transport patrons to the heart of Italy. This new journey led to the creation of Magdalena’s Pizza and Trattoria – a haven for the finest Italian pizza and pasta.

Magdalena’s is an inviting space where everyone can gather to experience the true essence of Italian cuisine. The secret to Magdalena’s success lies in our commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients imported directly from Italy. To compliment the cuisine, we offers an extensive wine list available for purchase by the case with the most competitive retail pricing.

The dedication to excellence in customer experience, the discipline required to produce elevated dishes, and loyalty to authenticity are all traits instilled in Chef Nicolas Nikic by his Italian mother. It is not surprising, therefore, that the restaurant bears her name in homag

    We love Magdalena's. We generally order take out pizza but dined in with family tonight. We all had pizza and also ordered a bianca salad, spinach with garlic and spaghetti carbonara. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was terrific, refilling water glasses, checking to see that everything was fine, bringing extra plates.

    Server Ivan was very good. Iced tea glass never got empty. We shared Caesar salad, celery salad, 3 different pizzas. All were excellent. Pizza had a lot of flavor.

    Affordable, fantastic food served in a casual atmosphere BUT with “white glove”-level service — that’s what makes Magdalena’s the perfect neighborhood trattoria. Chef Nicolas is a true professional who cares about his craft, and it shows in the consistency of the kitchen, the efficiency of the service, and the meticulously curated wine list. With a gorgeous new outdoor seating area set to open soon, our family is looking forward to wearing out our welcome there!! Too good to miss, even in a competitive food scene like Houston now proudly has!!
