When owner Johnny Carrabba set out on his next restaurant venture, he knew his vision would include the fond memories he had of his dear grandmother Grace Mandola. Grace, also known to the family as Mama, was a Sicilian woman born to immigrant parents in Louisiana. She had a flair for cooking, hospitality, and deep faith.

She was known to make bread from scratch every Saturday for her legendary three-hour Sicilian Sunday lunches; and, her newly established family roots in Louisiana added interesting flavors to her home cooked meals. The entire Mandola family, including her five children and fourteen grandchildren, was regularly greeted in her home with smells of warm bread, well brewed sauces and homemade soups. It was around her table that her family learned the true meaning and value of relationships, friendships and good food.

    It’s was absolutely fabulous. We moved to Downtown Houston from San Fran/Napa area around the time Grace’s first opened my husband and I would eat at Grace’s at least 3 times a week. It was always our go to place when friends or relatives came into town. Then it got very popular too fast… long waits. This was our first visit since early 2020. We love the improvements! Will be back.

    I’ve had a better experience before. Though very busy, our reservation for 6pm seated us at 6:30pm. Staff was very nice. The kitchen ran out of my favorite dish, stuffed chicken. Very disappointed because I brought my friend in to specifically try the dish. Ended up with the pot roast. Though tasty, the presentation was pretty lackluster. A slab of meat covered with gravy on the plate. May have looked better if served sliced. We had a great time and the waitress was extremely professional and friendly.
