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

    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.

    We have an extremely long wait for someone to take our drink order, but he eventually did show up. Everything else was great.

    We love Magdalena's. We generally order take out pizza but dined in with family tonight. We all had pizza and also ordered a bianca salad, spinach with garlic and spaghetti carbonara. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was terrific, refilling water glasses, checking to see that everything was fine, bringing extra plates.
