Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:
There are many great things to do in Houston, including dining. Great Italian fare in Houston is not as unusual as you might think. The city's large Italian population has a long heritage in the city, which is mostly Sicilian. Some Italian restaurants have been family owned and operated for decades, and a few Italian family names – Petronella, Vallone, and D’Amico – have become synonymous with Houston Italian food. Others, like Arturo Boada and Chef Marco Wiles are also making their marks.
