What a fun and entertaining atmosphere. So vibrant and colorful. The car/ tables are awesome. The food is fantastic and delectable. Authentic Italian at its best. It was a bit disappointing that the cheese wheel was not available during our visit but our other food was fantastic. From fettuccine alfredo to chicken picatta and the order of baby octopus did not disappoint. My only disconnect was the service doesn’t seem to be very accommodating. While the bread is complimentary, the dipping oil and spices was quite bland and certainly not enough offered. The menu stresses no substitutions of any kind and there is a page of restaurant policy and rules for families with little children. It just seemed stark and rigid. Somewhat uninviting. That being said, the food is something to be very proud of and the restaurant worth the visit for the atmosphere.

Great place tucked away in a center off Memorial parkway in Houston. The staff speaks English and Italian.
Wife and walked in and was greeted with smiles and hello. We were seated promptly.
Drink orders followed, while we were looking at the menu and art work inside the restaurant.
Wife ordered the Margarita Pizza and Ingot the Carbonara. Both were great. The basil and mozzarella both tasted fresh. The crust was nice and toasty with a nice rise to it.
The Carbonara was nicely flavored with a nice amount of Parmesan cheese. The bacon and pancetta was not over powering the flavor in the dish.
Wife and I shared a Tiramisu. I think I just found the best Tiramisu in Houston. The Mascarpone was light, fluffy and perfectly blended. The lady fingers were soft and fresh with a nicely flavored espresso.
You gotta try this, recommend getting your own though.

I had a wonderful experience at Impero Italiano. The place is small and cozy, with a warm, family atmosphere and a touch of tradition. Since I love gnocchi, I decided to order it on my first visit, and it was the right choice; I enjoyed every bite. I also ordered their homemade limoncello, which was good.
My godson really relished every piece of his pizza.
The service is special, they give you time to order and enjoy the food.
I recommend visiting and giving it a try. I’ll definitely be coming back soon. There are still many dishes on the menu I’m eager to sample.

This restaurant is amazing. It has come close to food tested on my trip to Rome, Florence, Venice, and Pisa. All the staff work together to bring a great atmosphere and vibe. Our server, Pepe, provided such an excellent experience with various delicious dishes. I can honestly say this restaurant is like being in Italy. We will fore sure return to try more dishes.

This was our first visit to Impero and WOW it did not disappoint. We were a party of 10 to celebrate my birthday and I’m so glad we chose Impero. They sat us right on time at 5 for our reservation. Our waiter, Alessandro was phenomenal. He greeted us right away and attended to our needs the entire 2 hours we were there. The food was nothing short of fantastic. I got an espresso martini, the classica eggplant, arrincini, and an affogato for dessert. The atmosphere was fantastic. We plan to keep coming back!

Found this place by chance. We dropped my daughter off at Memorial City Mall to hang out with her social group; decided to eat lunch on that side of town. The first place was closed due to a power outage…a google search of restaurants in the area and scrolled down the list. We are now really glad that the first restaurant was closed.
We chose to share a pizza. These pizzas are not the “trendy” picks that show up on other pizza restaurant menus. Sapore di Mare is delicious. They do have multiple pasta dishes to chose from on the menu. Ordered 2 desserts, the Tiramisu and the Cassatina Siciliana. If you like Tiramisu, theirs is good. The dessert winner is their Cassatina Siciliana. It you do not like really sweet, order one of their espressos to drink with it.
We live in the greater Houston Heights so, yes, Impero Italiano is a drive for us, but one we will be now be making, it is that good.
Make sure you read their Impero House Rules in the back of the menu…we will be back to soak in their atmosphere.

It was good. Not good enough for the amount of money spent $160 . The idea is cool but not functional, I wanted to eat with my family not have everyone eat their plates at separate times and wait for the other plates to come out. The food wasn’t even super hot when the plates eventually came out. No reservation, wait time wasn’t bad, went by fast. Desserts were delicious, especially the cannoli. Main dishes were good and flavorful but still debatable if it was truly worth the price tag.

I have been wanting some good lasagna, and my buddies took me here. The inside of the restaurant looked super cool and felt authentic. And I ordered the lasagna, and it did not disappoint whatsoever, so good. The bread and olive oil was so delicious and the fried mozzarella was also delicious. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for Italian food!

went to an Italian place and honestly, I really liked it! The food was amazing — the pizza was incredible, and the pasta was delicious too. Everything tasted so fresh, and the place itself felt super cozy. The only thing I didn’t love was the tiramisu; it didn’t seem very fresh and tasted like it had been in the fridge for a few days.
