Description

This is undoubtedly one of the city's finest and most authentic Italian restaurants. Damian's feels like a little piece of Tuscany right here in Midtown Houston. This white tablecloth, fine-dining restaurant has long-term, knowledgeable waiters. The cold antipasto misto plate is always worth trying. Fresh pasta dishes abound, and whether it's a simple spaghetti Bolognese or a more complex tortellini alla panna, they never disappoint. The osso buco is timeless and the veal chop enough for two. Try the traditional rosemary roasted potatoes with any dish. The dessert cart never fails to impress.

But in the last few months, Damian's has gone from good to great, thanks to an extensive renovation. The carpeting, the windows and the lighting are all brand-new, and the look is more... More »

  • 2001 | Best Italian Restaurant

    It is overwhelming to walk in the front door of this dark and clubby old haunt. To your left, there's the reception stand, where you are offered an uncommonly gracious greeting. Right in front of you, a fabulous array of antipasti plates is spread out on a low table. To your right, a dark and comfortable-looking bar beckons. Should you opt for the dining room, you will be treated to the best selection of authentic Tuscan pasta dishes and Italian-style grilled chops in the city. But if... More »
