Description

This restaurant on lower Westheimer is a gem. Sophisticated and unpretentious, it serves innovative Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting setting. Intimate, cozy, mahogany-lined rooms with a piano player add to the atmosphere. The five-course chef's tasting dinner highlights some of the menu's most creative dishes. The cioppino (fish stew) is outstanding, and the veal osso buco on a bed of saffron risotto is a wonderful rendition of this classic dish. Homemade limoncello liqueur is a delightful way to end the meal.

    Little Italy in Montrose

    By Marene Gustin | Thu, February 17, 2005

    You'd think nothing in the eclectic Montrose area would surprise anymore, not even a fine Italian restaurant in a strip center. But Sorrento (415 Westheimer, 713-527-0609) does take your breath away. The arched ceilings, frescoed walls, wine... More »
