    We had a great dinner at Trattoria la Vigna. It was a great classic Italian restaurant in Galveston downtown. I had the spinach ravioli with mushrooms cream sauce and my husband had the veal with pasta. The ravioli was outstanding and compared well so some we had in Italy. We shared their octopus salad and had the chocolate cheesecake for dessert.

    Nice atmosphere with a table that appeared to be in a former vault. Service was friendly and helpful. Veal Picata and lasagne were delicious. Would definitely return.

    Amazing evening at he Grotto San Luis! We started off with some super cold martinis that were perfectly bruised. The house salad is always delicious. We love the tangy house dressing. I ordered the shrimp and crab capelini and my husband ordered the crab cake. Both were spectacular!! So tasty and perfectly seasoned. As usual, the service was wonderful. Oscar was very attentive and knowledgeable without hovering or making us feel rushed. Grotto is ALWAYS one of our favorite meals on the island. We can’t wait to go back!
