Description

Ownership under the Landry empire seems to have dulled the menu somewhat, but this is still a place to enjoy some fabulous Italian cuisine and to see and be seen. Try the shrimp and crab cheesecake appetizer, the gnocchi with vodka sauce, the braised short ribs and the spectacular homemade desserts. A gorgeous outdoor patio makes for an inviting place to sip a glass or two.

    Afternoon Delight

    By Marene Gustin | Thu, August 28, 2003

    Was it owner Bob Cobb or his chef at the Brown Derby who peered into the icebox late one night in 1926 and put together that now-famous American classic, the chopped cobb salad? Doesn't matter, because it was Texan Tony Vallone (or his chef) who... More »

  • 2004 | Best Long Lunch

    La Griglia No longer a Vallone enterprise (it's now part of Fertitta Land), La Griglia is still the extended-power-luncheon hot spot. Its funky decor never distracts from the patrons -- this is, after all, Houston's prime see-and-be-seen locale -- but the food ain't half bad, either. The bread basket, with those yummy pizza slices, and a glass of Merlot alone will see you into the first hour of your long lunch. The restaurant has excellent pasta dishes, margarita pizza and veal chops. But a... More »

  • 2000 | Best Service

    It should come as no surprise that a Vallone Group restaurant would claim the coveted prize of best service. Tony Vallone, the patriarch of Houston's most elite dining dynasty, has instilled this work ethic in all his progeny, who provide a horde of servers, from captains to busboys, to surround each table, doting on diners with the tender care of a grandmother. The trick, however, is to be at the customer's elbow when needed and to fade into the woodwork when not. At La Griglia, the pace is... More »
