Mia Bella Trattoria - Houston

This is my second time coming to Mia Bella and I am with this restaurant. The manager Canelo Vargas is top notch. Had a minor thing come up on my last visit and he addressed it and made sure we had a great experience after. Food: the tortellini with chicken is absolutely amazing. I don't really eat Italian food all the time but this has become my go to for Italian. My gf really like the seafood spaghetti. Also the tiramisu cake was great. The outdoor seating with live music is great. I'll definitely becoming back soon. 5 stars all day.

Ambiance: I have celebrated many occasions (birthdays, wedding anniversaries at Mia Bella Trattoria given the upscale, Italian interior. The restaurant is clean and they have those cute little personal purse/hat/coat stands they bring to each table. The bright lighting during the day makes your dining experience feel warm inviting perfect for Sunday brunch or a nice lunch during the workweek. In the evening, the wine bar area and intimate booths shifts to a perfect date night location. They offer a large Italian dish menu, including brunch and make your own pastas/risotto (my go to favorite! The food portions are large and IMO reasonably priced given the quality/ingredients. Service is quick and I've noticed my drink is never empty as they are quick to re fill. Street parking available in Vintage Park. Walking distance to multiple shops/bars. Clean bathrooms. A favorite spot in Vintage Park that I frequent for nearly any occasion from weekly lunches, anniversaries, and holidays!

I ate at Mia Bella on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't packed and they were serving brunch until 3pm. No reservation needed. Staff was welcoming , plenty of free parking, family oriented environment. $5 margaritas!! They are strong and tasty Beef carpaccio 10/10 Pesto pasta 10/10 Complimentary bread 10/10 Overall experience 10/10

Food, drinks, and atmosphere were awesome! It's usually hard to handle a group, but they took care of our party of over 30, and everything was still wonderful! The lamb shank is definitely a must-have if I'm ever in the area again!

Upon entering I immediately enjoyed the soft atmosphere, very relaxing and elegant. My server was knowledgeable of the wine selection/meals and was able to help with recommendations which were all fantastic. I ordered the octopus, seafood capellini, and ended with an expresso martini. I want to start by emphasizing now amazingly fantastic that martini was definitely one of the best expresso martinis I have tasted. The food was also very delicious. The service was slightly slower than anticipated: waiting to order, waiting for check, etc. but nothing too drastic. Overall, great experience and highly recommend.
