La Griglia continues its tradition of a true Houston staple at our new address, 2817 W Dallas Street. La Griglia’s menu is a blend of signature dishes with new creations featuring simple, uncomplicated ingredients elegantly presented. A significant portion of our exceptional ingredients are sourced from Italy and act as inspiration for the new offerings. With a striking, modern look and feel, La Griglia features sleek finishes such as marble and brass juxtaposed by the warmth of supple leathers and crisp white tablecloths. The restaurant includes an intimate main dining room, a wine room, and an expansive courtyard and bar for dining and cocktails, allowing for guests to experience a range of environments based on the occasion.

As a courtesy to all our guests, we maintain a business casual dress code. No beachwear, gym attire, hats, baseball caps, shorts, flip flops, or athletic apparel is allowed. Admittance is at the discretion of management.

    La Griglia - A Dining Experience to Remember! From the moment we walked into La Griglia, we knew we were in for something special. The service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and perfectly timed without being intrusive. The highlight of the night was, without a doubt, the tableside preparation of the fettuccine in the giant Parmesan cheese wheel. Watching our server masterfully work the dish was mesmerizing—a true culinary performance! He let his hands do the talking, effortlessly blending the pasta with the rich, creamy sauce and the decadent touch of truffles. Each bite was pure indulgence, packed with bold flavors and the perfect balance of creaminess and umami from the Parmesan. From start to finish, La Griglia delivers an unforgettable dining experience. If you're looking for exceptional Italian cuisine, flawless service, and a bit of tableside magic, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

    Incredible service and food. Loved the old Nino's but this is an amazing update. Prices mean this will be a special occasion place. Enjoyed Sinatra but wish it wasn't quite so loud. Will be back to sit outside at the garden next door.

    Very disappointed - and unfortunately, after being a regular for over 20 years - we won’t return. While the new location is fantastic (dined 3 or 4 times since the move), and the restaurant inside and outside is gorgeous, that’s where it ends. The service and the food was mediocre this final visit. We waited nearly 30 minutes to receive our first cocktail, the primi (a rigatoni) was tasty but barely warm, the porkchop was tough as nails, and the polenta was salty and flavorless simultaneously and near inedible. Why not complain? That would have required a server to come to the table and ask us about our meal - when the dishes were cleared with majority of the food remained on the plate and zero questions, it was a clear lost cause. Not worth anything they could have said or done about a terrible experience. Hence, our business will go to dozens of other quality and service focused restaurants that are paying attention to what matters most for a good customer experience.

    Shared the Autum salad and pig pizza. Both were excellent. Made a great shared lunch.

    Be sure to double check your bill. After we left I got a phone call from Wilmer (the manager) stating I had paid the wrong bill….and my payment had been adjusted. So…be sure to check your bill (we don’t because we trust this type of restaurant is professional) guess jokes on me. Check your bill! Otherwise this restaurant thinks it is perfectly ok to adjust your payment. After the receipt is signed….

    We love the new La Griglia. We dined at the former location every Friday for 5 years. The new location is fantastic. It’s a beautiful location with multiple dining areas offering different atmospheres but the same food and service experiences. Our group ordered 4 dishes and each was unique: BUCATINI AMATRICIANA, SHORT RIB CAPPELLETTI, PAPPARDELLE BOLOGNESE and SPAGHETTI CARBONARA. Of these 4, for some reason the carbonara disappointed. The sauce was thick and pasty and lacked the fresh flavor the dish deserved - very surprising. The best pasta item was clearly the Short Rib Cappelletti, hands down. We ordered two Key Lime desserts. These were absolute head turners as our desserts passed through the restaurant on their way to our table - adjacent folks asked aloud,”what is that dessert”. I’ll not spoil the surprise with a further description - just order one and enjoy! We’re ready to return again and again!
