Best Pizzerias in Washington Avenue Coalition / Memorial Park

This has been one of my favorite restaurants since I was in my early 20s. They have always provided excellent service, fantastic food and a wonderful ambience. It is definitely a staple in the downtown Houston Theatre District.  I would like to thank R.C. for her kindness on the telephone, and her assistance in helping us to make modifications to our reservation. She gave me her full attention, and she didn’t try to rush me, even though I knew the restaurant was very busy. R.C. made sure she answered all of my questions, and was very present in the conversation. Our lovely waitress, Eli, was very attentive, and had such a sweet spirit, and a huge shout out to Mario, who always remembers us every time we come in and makes sure that we are taken care of. He continues to check on us during dinner and he always has such a beautiful light. In addition, I would also like to mention, the decorations for Christmas were absolutely gorgeous and you could tell that the spirit was alive in the restaurant. It is beautiful, no matter what time of year you go and, the Sunday brunch is always amazing. I know that a lot of people like to go to new restaurants but there’s something so wonderful about the restaurants that have stood the test of time. Birraporetti’s is always amazing.

Awesome place for our anniversary and then a trip to Toyota Center to see TSO!

Among the best Italian restaurants in Houston. Consistently excellent.

Run don't walk to this restaurant! Don't let the casual and unassuming ambiance fool you -this is a true delight! Great 3-course lunch menu for $29 with generous portions. Everything made from scratch daily including pizza, pasta and sorbet, and everyone in our picky family of 5 can't wait to go back. We had chicken poblano soup, margherita pizzas, pappardelle, and an assortment of sorbets. My 11-yr old self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur says it's the best pizza she's ever had. The owner/chef is there working hard in the kitchen and greeting customers in the dining room with the utmost hospitality. We also brought home a huge bottle of their delicious olive oil for only $27.

Wow the food is simply amazing. Had the wings and mushrooms for appetizers and the mushrooms are so good. Also had a pepperoni pizza and the lobster ravioli. I can’t not say anything about anything we ordered.
