About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
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

    First time here and enjoyed it. The pizza was delicious, with a fluffy and light crust. However, the pasta carbonara was not what I expected. I used to live in Italy and know what a real carbonara is; however, this was made with cream (I'm pretty sure). Very watery and not as creamy as just eggs and cheese. I will say the chef/owner, Nikolas was truly wonderful and very attentive. Love to go back and try something else.

    We went early 4;15) for dinner so the restaurant was quiet. Our waiter was excellent The menu seemed limited. I recommend the celery salad (big) but not the deep fried artichoke.
