Reviews for La Griglia in Houston, TX
We came here a birthday. I asked the hostess to let our server know about the birthday and requested the Italian wedding cake. ... She said they were out of it, but I saw it on another table later on. Our server was very short with us at times and when hebrought the check he just literally tossed it on the table and walked off. The food was decent but the service was not thebest. This restaurant is past its prime, and the only reason I come back is for the Italian wedding cake (aka strawberryricotta cake). Read more
First time here and everything was wonderful. All the servers were attentive and helpful. Cole was our server and he made great... suggestions so we took him up on that. He picked out our wine, our pizza and dessert! He did an excellent job, always made sureour table was clean and set up for our next course. We’ll definitely be back to visit him! Thank you! Read more
The food was delicious. We all bought different plates and shared, and there was nothing that I didn't like. The service was A+.... My only complaint is that the tables are really close to each other, so it's hard to move around for the servers, and it getstoo loud, almost to the point you barely can hear the person next to you. But the food is OMG The shrimp cheesecake is one ofthe best! Read more
I could literally just eat the pizza bread they start you off with, it’s so delicious! The staff was very friendly and... attentive. The appetizers and dessert were delicious. The entree was a little bland but I would definitely try it again. Theatmosphere is nice and welcoming and overall a good experience. Definitely recommend the shrimp and crab cheesecake! Read more
We did not have reservations, however, they are highly encouraged especially for later dining. The bar was open and not crowded.... We went once they opened on a Saturday and were seated right away. At that point our experience here was great.. Service We hada main server, Alex, but they all worked as a team to ensure we were serviced well throughout our dining. We never ran low onwater, and if you're a bread eater, they brought such if you asked. They provided recommendations and were knowledgeable aboutthe menu. Drinks If you're a wine drinker, they had a plethora of options. If your prefer a cocktail, they've got you coveredthere as well. The cocktails lacked no flavor and potent. The Italian Margarita (on the rocks) had a peculiar taste, but still amenu favorite. Peach Bellini (frozen) is perfect for a hot day. Food The pasta and brick oven pizza were fresh and homemade,which was to be expected. The chicken parmesan, pasta of the day, and fettuccine were good..no complaints. They havekid-friendly option as well. One minor mention, the pasta of the day included different seafood including crab, but the fullcrab was fried, which was a not preferred. If you're wanting a salad, be sure to ask what kind of green leaves are used if youhave a preference. I'd recommend this place for fresh Italian, service, and experience (not necessarily live soft musicambience establishment). Read more
Amazing atmosphere. My wife and I was very pleased with everything we ordered. Food was very good for the price and portion. It... isnt as fine dining compared to Potente, but you will definitely leave feeling full and have leftovers. Service was exceptional.Seem like the service issue that the other reviewers mentioned was during Covid when numbers were high. Now it seems likeeverything is back to normal. The restaurant is walking distance for us so we will be back really soon. Can't wait! Read more
Awesome service, ambiance, and food! I haven't been here for several years. But used to come often. La Griglia is a great place... for a wide variety of Italian food done right. It was my birthday and my mom asked where do we go. This was on the short list.It was a Friday and we passed up Perry's Pork Chop Special, and didn't give it a second thought. From the Appetizers to theDesserts everything was spectacular. I drink quite a but of Ice Tea and it was ALWAYS full. Can't wait to go back now that Ilive in the neighborhood again. Read more
