This is not pizza margherita...was tasteless and our waiter, who was a little on the pompous/crass side, informed me that in Texas, it's not served with tomato sauce...I googled other restaurants, and yes it is.
Giving it at least one star, because the food runner was pleasant. Other diner at table had chicken pesto pizza, that was supposed to have goat cheese...it didn't and was very bland. Other diner had spaghetti and meatballs, and this was decent.
Service was only attentive at check time.
Stayed in the Hyatt right down the road for my first time in Houston and decided to walk here to try it out. The food was DELICIOUS! I had the grilled beef medallions and they were cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes? Phenomenal. My sister had the pasta poretti and the tiramisu- loved both! If I ever find myself in Houston again, I’ll definitely be back.

We dined here on a Friday night while staying in downtown Houston. When we first arrived the restaurant was bustling and I thought we would definitely have a long wait before being seated, but that was not the case. The staff was able to seat us quickly and within 20 minutes of being the entire restaurant had cleared out. We learned people like to dine here before shows across the street and we just happened to come in right as the show was starting.
The theme of the this restaurant plays into the theater puns. I really enjoyed the Tequila Mocking Bird. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with chicken, my partner ordered the filet with fettuccine, and our friend ordered the grilled chicken alfredo. Apparently we were all in the mood for fettuccine.
I am a big fan of home made alfredo and was slightly disappointed by their sauce. I can’t say for certain, but I do not believe this sauce is made from scratch. Otherwise, the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was fair for the price. Overall, I wouldn’t mind eating here again.

Birraporetti’s has been a favorite of ours in the Houston Theater District for years. The food is awesome and the location is prime! Nice work team!

Pasta primavera is bland. Shrimp is under cooked. Came here for a dinner during Opera intermission. The waitstaff doesn’t come to check on you, the service was very underwhelming. This was surprising as there was only a few tables being seated. This is definitely not a premium Italian restaurant.
My unsolicited advice…go somewhere else before and during the Opera. As this was a huge disappointment.
I was just a table of one and they couldn’t get this right.

Let me start with as soon as we walked in they were quick to seat us we had friends meeting us there with a baby. The staff made sure we were comfortable. Now for the food literally have no words the food was so delicious. I’m usually not the one to finish a plate and I did. The other thing I loved is that they have Gluten-free options and the drinks are all great!!!

We enjoy this restaurant.
The food tasted really good. I had a Fetuccini Alfredo with Shrimp and it was delisious. The sauce was creamy and tasty. It had a good amount of shrimp.
We also tried a pasta with a cheesy sauce. It was very creamy and tasty. The chicken was tender and savory.
The service was pretty good and fast.

It's been several years since I've been here and tonight I was nearby and hungry. There was live music as I entered the door, also no greeter. I walk up to two gentlemen sitting at the host table and instead of them asking me "How many?" I have to ask if I stumbled into a private event. They tell me no and I have to say that I would like to eat here before either one moves to seat us. The rest of the staff was great! Live music was a fun twist and the food was delicious!

This place was an absolute delight!! Went there for a date night. The food was amazing. They had a lounge singer, who in my opinion was quite cheesy ???? but very entertaining. And sang some great songs as well. The decor is very old school Italian upscale. I absolutely loved it.
