   The service was fantastic and the food was good, although my veal chop had a lot of fat on it. For $89.00 I expected better. My colleagues had the homemade pasta which is a house special. They said it was very good but the portion was small for a $65.00 price tag. There were no red sauce options which I expected from an Italian restaurant. Overall we had a good experience but the prices were extremely high for what we received.

   As always, great food and service. Hands down, the best Italian in the city.

   Absolutely amazing service from the check in with the valet right to the time we left. Food was on time the right sized portions and such amazing flavour that it’s a definite must to go back. Kaci took care of every request right to food allergies preparation of the food. Never felt pushed to prefer the next course, it was all hut the perfect flow of food ambience and energy within. Definitely recommend trying what ever is on the chefs special. Thank you all for an amazing experience.

   My first time at Potente and it completely exceeded my expectations. It’s officially one of my top restaurants in Downtown Houston. Impeccable service, stunning location, delicious food with beautiful presentation, couldn’t have nicer, friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. Loved everything about it. I can’t wait to be back.

    We’ve been to Potente numerous times and the food and ambience are always top notch. This time service was a little slow and chaotic; numerous servers bringing food to the wrong tables not just for us. The initial person who took our drink orders was actually at the wrong table but our waitress for the rest of the evening was excellent. Definitely recommend Potente.
