When I’m craving Italian, La Griglia is always the first place that comes to mind. It’s elegant, perfect for a romantic dinner, business meeting, or bringing friends who are visiting Houston, and it truly never disappoints.
My go-to dish, and the one I always recommend, is the short rib cappelletti. It’s incredible. For appetizers, the shrimp & crab “cheesecake” is a must. They also have a great cocktail menu, an excellent wine list, and you absolutely cannot skip the brown butter bread pudding for dessert.
The service is always on point, friendly, and knowledgeable, and valet parking makes everything easy. La Griglia is definitely more of an adult, upscale dining experience, and it’s one of those places that makes every visit feel special.

We had my birthday dinner here and the patio was absolutely magical. The staff out there never missed a beat. The server had some awesome recommendations. The seafood cheesecake was different but creamy with flavor. The different gentlemen checking on us had amazing table side service. This is going to become our new spots. Parking was valet but easy and convenient. Restrooms and halls were clean and tidy. We really had a wonderful time.

The entire experience was just absolutely phenomenal. Alexander took such great care of us, as did everyone else. Took my wife here for our anniversary and the entire team made it such a special experience. The food was to die for. My first time having lamb was incredible. They made her her favorite, chicken parm, which was an off menu item. Alexander was able to navigate us through the menu – their house red wine was delicious and their cocktails were wonderful. This is likely our new yearly anniversary spot. 100/10 recommendation. This restaurant is the definition of hospitality.

This was the most mid fine dining I’ve ever had. My girlfriend and I went for her birthday and while the place looked nice, everything we had was so overpriced and mediocre. I’ve been to Perry’s Steakhouse and not even paid as much as we did here. They give you some pizza bread as an appetizer that looks like it was from some pizza they had left over from the day before. I was taken back when I saw it because it was so unappealing. We tried the steak, a pasta, some appetizer with prosciutto, got two drinks each and I tried some fish. The bill was over $300. The waiter we had was polite but I wouldn’t waste my time going here again because of the food. Idk if there are good reviews just because of the service or the ambience but I think people just be lying because of the aesthetics. That’s my hot take on this place. Thanks for reading.

We went to La Griglia for our anniversary dinner and had such a lovely time. The hosts and servers were friendly and made us feel really welcome. The atmosphere was cozy and just right for a special dinner. The food was delicious, especially the mushroom lasagna, which completely stole the show. I’d go back just for that dish alone. Definitely a place I’d recommend and plan to return to!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had in Houston! Service was amazing and almost felt like you were in a movie! Waiter was very attentive and answered every single question we had about the menu. We ordered a lot of food as well as a bottle of wine and other drinks and our bill was very reasonable for the food and drinks we ordered! Keep doing what you are doing, we will be back!

Everytime I visit I have a great experience. I love the shrimp and crab cheesecake, and the waygu carpaccio. The expresso martinis are phenomenal.

La Griglia is truly a gem when it comes to upscale Italian dining. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, lively, and elegant — perfect for both a special occasion or an indulgent night out.
The service was exceptional. Our server staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations, especially when it came to wine pairings.
The food was phenomenal. We started with the wagyu carpaccio and mozzarella cheese — both fresh and flavorful. For our main courses, the short ribs pasta, table side pasta, and red snapper were standouts — perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Every dish was rich in flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were top quality.
The dessert menu was just as impressive. We tried the tiramisu, cheesecake, and chocolate cake, which were the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal.
La Griglia manages to combine elegance, great energy, and consistently delicious food in one experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for refined Italian cuisine in a stylish setting.

I had a truly exceptional dinner experience at La Griglia last night, with outstanding food and service. The lively and colorful atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to dine with friends or family. The service was exceptional! It’s a pleasure to encounter staff who are well-trained, happy, and friendly, a rarity to find all three qualities in today’s world. Dining in their outdoor patio feels like you are sitting at a restaurant on the Mediterranean with the abundant landscaping and beautiful furnishings.
