Antica Osteria, Houston, Texas, Italian Restaurant Details

Food:

Located in an old home in the West U area, this charming neighborhood Italian exudes a warm 'mama-mia' atmosphere; add in excellent, attentive service and wonderful fare, and no wonder it remains a romantic date place.

Food:

Opening hours are til 10.30 pm but we are not serving at 9.20 pm , not to mention that the food is barely a 2.5 over 5 by restaurant standard. I don't understand a lot of these reviews are people just stuffing their faces and paying premium for it ?

Food:

Absolutely delicious every time I've been. The filet with cognac cream sauce is divine. The gnocci was fantastic. The salad was awesome. Our server was very attentive.

Food:

I've been interested in trying this restaurant for 9 years, finally had the opportunity and was just completely disappointed. To begin, I had a salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, mozzarella and vinaigrette. The salad was 99% greens with 2 balls of Bocconcino and an 1/8th of a cup of tomato. It really would've been nice to have more cheese and tomato (or a caprese on the menu.) The service was just non-existent. Our server came by to take our drink order, open our wine & take the food order, and drop the check. We refilled our wine glasses, ourselves. I did really enjoy the canoli dessert! They were flavorful, crispy and just the perfect portion size.

Food:

Above and beyond expectations. This beautiful and romantic restraunt was perfect for celebrating my engagement to my future bride. Our waiter was very attentive, and our glass never went past half empty. The food was fantastic and delicious! Would recommend this to any friend trying to find something tastful and romantic.

Food:

I arrived at this restaurant prepared to be amazed. And I must say, everything about it lived up to my expectations, until the very end of our experience. As we were leaving, we were approached by a young man claiming to be the son of the owner. Given his disabled status, we smiled, gave him a dollar, and kindly asked him to leave. He asked us many questions of little relevance, many of which did not make sense; questions like "you want Sprite?" No one came to claim this child, and he wondered around the establishment, eating food off of peoples plates until we left. He told us that his name was "Matthew.''
Any establishment who's employees have such a lack of respect for disabled people does not have my support. The very fact that they let a child with Down Syndrome roam around, un-monitored is wrong.
