Adam Miller: Try the Antipasto Buffet - #NAFSA12 amazing
Houston Press: Chef Ferrarese's signature short rib ravioli with black truffle and corn purée is a favorite, as are his perfectly executed risotto dishes. Sunday brunch is a popular draw, too, with a lavish buffet!
CultureMap Houston: For a special occasion, reserve the Chef’s Table, an inviting Tuscan-ish room with a fascinating view of the kitchen.

Robin Davidson: Try the Antipasti Platter
Allen Arcade: The three dip combo is a great way to try their variety of Italian and Italian inspired creations. Attached is the tomato goat cheese, chicken pâté and bean dip.
Eater: It's a conglomeration of serving styles and Italian dishes, both large and small that make this neighborhood restaurant endearing and very, very good. [Eater 38 Member]

Travis Nicolette: Garlic knots are delicious, and we had the blackened flounder with fettuccine. Fantastic and great service! Great view outside.
Kings Harbor: Warning: The Garlic Knots here are so delicious, that you may forget about saving room for your pizza or pasta!
kathryn trappey: Minestrone is really amazing!
Master San: My number one spot for Brazilian! They have chicken Parmesan that fogo don't have. Complimentary desert for special occasions! And #1 offers a 20% military discount!
Local Houston Magazine: Beware of the disc on your table; it's red on one side and green on the other. With the green side up, the eager servers will make sure you never see the bottom of your plate! Read more.
Stan Garland: The service is impeccable and the food is oh so fabulous! This one just opened here in Houston.

Caitlyn Silvas: Amazing food! Always eat here when I am in town :)
Jef With One F: No matter where I live in Houston I come to Star for pizza. There is just no good reason to go anywhere else.
Local Houston Magazine: Their deep dish pizza is prepared on a whole wheat crust with mounds of veggies, cheese and sauce, this is what I like to call a fork and knife slice. Read more.
