"On what unbeknownst to us in advance turned out to be this location's next-to-last night, we were lucky enough to enjoy one final meal at one of our longtime favorite neighborhood casual Italian spots.
After 11 years, it turns out that the owner has sold the building and closing this location [the other two--further west out Westheimer] will remain open.
And for 11 years, it was a go-to spot, especially when the kids were in school and wanted pizza or calamari while we wanted pasta or chicken or veal.
It had something for all generations. It had a great patio for the three months in Houston that it's tolerable to dine outside. And reasonable wine.
We will miss it. Thanks Chuck, Al, Joyce, JJ et al for all the good times. Good lu"

"Our server was distracted the whole evening. They gave us only the set menu's for Valentines Day when we sat down. We assumed that we had to order off of it. When we saw others ordering things that weren't on the set menu my wife asked about it. The server's response was "well you should have asked!"."

"Went to Dinner on Valentine's Day, Everything we ordered was delicious. Their crabcakes were fantastic. I ordered the house salad and CHicken Marsala and that was delicious. My husband the spaghetti and meatballs which was also very good. They were kind enough to pack it to go as I had an emergency to attend to, but even then the food was delicious at home."

"The service was slow and inattentive, the food was marginal at best, the crab cake was greasy and looked like it was just thrown on the plate. The chocolate cake looked and tasted like a frozen Sarah Lee cake and was still not totaly thawed out when served"

"Great place to take a date with, we were celebrating my girlfriend birthday and i brought 24 candles because she asked for that, so i asked the waiter to put them all on the dessert and he went through the process of melting each one and having them stand up around the dessert! it was incredible! never had anyone do anything close to that. thank you Palazzo's for having a great staff and amazing food!"

"Went for the 7th or 8th time in the last year and once again it was all perfect!
service was amazing, along with the delicious food, we ate the Mahi Mahi special of the day and the veal picatta. Started with the mussels and, well what can we say they all tasted great. We even tried their brownie dessert, and we were hesitant as we were full nevertheless it came out and it was perfect as well, not too big and not to small perfect for sharing after an amazing meal!"

"I had a business meeting here and I was very pleased with the set up and service. The wait staff allowed us to chat and did not pressure us to order immediately. They were very respectful of our purpose and put us in a quite table so we could conduct our meeting. I was very impressed and will return for many other occasions."
