Bistro Italiano - Conroe

The atmosphere is surprising, service is wonderful, and the food is spectacular! Bistro Italiano is in a little strip center in Conroe near the lake. This is not an area where I anticipated gourmet food! The strip center is worn down, and the sign doesn’t light up all the way. This little gem is hidden behind a real estate office… but once you walk into the restaurant you are transported into another realm! Low elegant lighting and a cozy “historic restaurant feel” welcome you. The bar offerings are basic and lackluster. They have the basics such as “Chardonnay” but not any specific brands. The food will make up for any of those inconveniences. We had the same waitress each time we visited. The waitress will tell you all about the local sourcing and freshness of the food, and she can explain the preparation of each item you ask her about. Every morsel of food I have had here is an explosion of flavors well worth a trip!! The Pistachio crusted shrimp is my favorite appetizer. The Chilean seabass is amazing and their fresh made pastas are so flavorful it puts my own to shame! I wish I could remember to take more pictures when I dine here but I get so excited I forget all about my phone and really cherish my time here. Each meal has been an experience all its own. I will continue sharing this restaurant with my friends and family members.

We came to near by resort for our wedding anniversary and was looking for good place to dine. Seeing the excellent google reviews, we thought of giving this place a try and so glad that we did. Great tasty food, specially steak which we ordered was amazing. Waitress named Rena was very knowledgable and so pleasant. She explained each menu item ever so clearly and how it’s cooked. She made our night so beautiful with her smile and surprise red velvet cake for our 4 year old daughter. Thank you so much Rena :

Italian food is my FAV, and this was hands down the best Italian food. The sauces on all the food we had was incredible. The waitress was super knowledgeable and the restaurant makes everything from scratch. I had the chicken Alfredo and it was the BEST. My dad had the veal which was also a piece of perfection. The lobster bisque and lobster ravioli were amazing as well. I’d drive hours to come eat here again. We also had dessert which was good (get the chocolate temptation ; .

Everything we eat here is delicious. My husband loves the smoked bacon appetizer; the lobster bisque is divine... The food is worth the visit, but I do not find the wait staff very friendly. It is a quiet, romantic restaurant.

New York Italian family owned and operated!! Home cooked food, locally grown meats and vegetables. First time here and I can’t believe I never knew about this place! Had the Veal Parmigiana and it was hands down fantastic! Homemade Bread Daily! We need more restaurants like this!! You would be a fool to pass up this one!
