La Vista

The servers, the busboys, the hostess, the cooks, EVERYONE here is amazing, and the food?! SPECTACULAR! I am sad that they are closing. We really enjoyed our moments there. It was a nice neighborhood restaurant. We visited regularly and our our serves even knew our names and always had a great smile to share! We will miss their bread, it was the best we ever had! They had the best pizza. My favorite dish there: the rabbit enchiladas and their big fat brownie. There's no picture of either bc as soon as they brought those they were gone!

La Vista - is one of the most consistently yummy restaurants in Houston - hints why its been around for 17 years! It's perfect for a girls night out, private party in the backroom/special occasion or a romantic first date. The environment is cozy and funky (great photography). The food is amazing - filling Italian classics with a touch of Greg (the chef) to spice it up! Personal favorites - ravioli with the creamy vodka sauce, chicken piccata (when they have it on special), big fat chicken breast (go-to for my boyfriend), Pollo pizza, and tomato caprese (if you're trying to be healthy)!

This place is lovely. I came to eat out by myself (I felt fancy) and Yelp took me here. Its busy on a Saturday night, but not so busy that I wasn't seated immediately. Gino (I think that's his name. I'm terrible with them, but the receipt says Gino) shared the soecials. I chose the wine special (i completely forgot the name, but it had a hint of peppermint at the end of the taste) and bruschetta to start. Both were absolutely delicious. Like I mentioned earlier it was quite busy with two large parties, but the service was still fast enough that I didn't get impatient and slow enough I didn't feel rushed. Gino told me he hasld another big order to put in but he wanted to put mine in first. A move that made me really appreciate the service here. I ordered the Papardelle. At first I was confused at the portion size since everything else seemed to be such big portions, but I quickly learned why. The flavor was immense, and I couldn't even finish it. I did however have to try the Tiramisu (my favorite dessert). I ordered was the dessert and it was much larger than I had anticipated. Again it was overflowing with flavor, but I couldn't fit anymore (although Gino jokingly offered to help me eat half). Once I was finished with my three bites, Gino took the cue from across the room and asked if I would like a box. I'm currently just waiting to give him my card to pay. I so enjoyed the service and the food. Its not something I can afford every week, but it's a great place for special occasions. The atmosphere is amazing. The service is amazing. The good is amazing. La Vista is amazing.

There's a new menu and it's wonderful! Greg Gordon hits another home run. I drive 30 miles to eat here and I'd probably ride my bike if I had to. This is the one place in town I can bring friends and family and never have to worry about the quality of the food and service. It's stellar each and every time.
