La Vista - Houston

BYOB! The corkage fee was quite reasonable (I had too much wine to remember the exact amount, and I don't think they charged us for all the bottles!). We visited on a Tuesday night, and the place was packed! I was really impressed. The food portions were generous, reasonably priced, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the Angel Hair Diavolo, which was loaded with shrimp and shells; it might have had a bit too many olives for my liking. Some of my friends shared pizzas, and there were definitely no leftovers. I would highly recommend this restaurant; it's perfect for a relaxed evening with friends. We lingered for hours and never felt rushed. Plus, our water glasses were always full!

La Vista is one of the most consistently delicious restaurants in Houston, which is why it has remained a favorite for 17 years! It's an ideal spot for a girls' night out, a private party in the back room, or a romantic first date. The atmosphere is cozy and eclectic, with large photographs adorning the walls. The food is incredible, featuring classic Italian dishes with Chef Greg's special twists! My personal favorites include the ravioli with creamy vodka sauce, chicken piccata (especially if it’s on special), a juicy chicken breast (perfect for my friend), pollo pizza, and the tomato caprese (for those looking to eat healthier)!

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

Greg Gordon cooks up some of the most delicious food I've ever had. His original recipes will take your taste buds to the next level. La Vista has been serving up delicious food for 19 years, and it's definitely worthy of a visit. Enjoy!

The staff, including the servers, busboys, hosts, and chefs, are all incredible, and the food is nothing short of spectacular! It’s disheartening to hear they are closing. We truly cherished our time there; it was a lovely neighborhood spot. We went there often, and the staff even remembered our names, always greeting us with warm smiles! We’ll definitely miss their bread—it was the best we’ve ever had! They served the finest pizza, too. My favorite dishes were the rabbit enchiladas and the indulgent brownie. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of them because they disappeared as soon as they arrived at our table!
