Tiramisu
The lasagna is to dieeee for. Not what I would usually order at a restaurant but it is really worth it. The seafood risotto was amazing and the Ceasar salad with grilled octopus too! Sunday lunch and the food came REALLY FAST basically no wait. Our server was excellent. High chairs available and the food is 100% toddler friendly.
Only reccomendation to the bar: chill the prosecco the night before.
Update:
Menú has changed somewhat since it became marcoza. They brought pizza back YESSSSSSSSS we tried the octopus carpaccio too which is great if you like raw octopus.

Great ambience and great food.
The restaurant has indoor and outdoor spaces.
A great place for outdoor during the pleasant spring time.
Good choice of food and drinks.
The prices are on the higher end. They have a great selection of wine and drinks.
Brunch is served on Sunday only between 11 to 3 noon.
Portions are decent not too big.
Children friendly options available as well need to check with the staff on that.

Definitely recommend this place! Restaurant is so charming, and the music made our Valentine's lunch so romantic. Parker was also absolutely amazing. He not only went above and beyond giving us great service, but he also made great recommendations from the menu. If you are looking for a nice date night or just a good Italian place, you should definitely stop by.

Calamari
Extremely nice date or business meeting style restaurant. The environment was stylish, comforting, and enjoyable. The staff were very professional and took great care of us throughout the visit. The appetizers were amazing and the wine selection was unmatched!!! We anxiously awaited our food which had tons of flavor and well worth the price. Being a nicer restaurant the prices are a bit high, but who doesn't expect to spend for an amazing date night. Highly recommended and we will definitely be returning.

Chicken Avanti
It's been a few years and time for an update. We just came back from a thoroughly excellent dinner, only the most recent of several dozen. If anything the food is gotten even better and the menu more enticing. This continues to be our first choice for special nights out anywhere near the Woodlands or Conroe.
My previous review for 3 years ago:
One of the best new restaurants north of Loop 610, this has become our go-to spot for special nights out. The more we go the more we love it, and have been through half the menu and can't wait to try the other half. Great wine flights and an amazing Sunday brunch - what's not to like?!?

Grilled Branzino
Came to celebrate an anniversary, and the table was very nicely decorated. The waiter did a good job and was able to get me gluten free bread (pictured below) which was outstanding. The chicken avanti was good but my main criticism was that the broccolini was too al dente.

NEW FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT!
Been on the hunt for a new favorite spot for Italian food in the area, and I think we finally found it! Avanti blew us away with the most delicious Italian food I've had in a long time, along with providing exemplary service.
It was our first visit, and it will not be our last. We stopped by on a Friday night for a quick meal, before catching a movie across the street... Although we were pressed for time, we enjoyed a variety of dishes (and a cocktail); all brought to our table very quickly. To note, the speedy delivery of our food did not diminish the lovely plating/presentation of the dishes, and every item was phenomenal.
We tried the Cucumber Elderflower Martini (so crisp & refreshing), the best Calamari we've ever had, the delightful Chicken Avanti (an elevated piccata), and a traditional Lasagna Bolognese you can count on.... Not a single complaint. Everything was amazing.
***Chef's Kiss***
I would order every item all over again (and again). However, on our next visit I'm hoping we have more time to our evening, so we can try more dishes & cocktails. And, I'm sure we will be checking out the sister location at Research Forest sometime in the near future, as well.
We aim to be regulars... It was an excellent meal and a wonderful experience. Grazie!

Went to this restaurant to celebrate my friend's birthday. The food, the ambience and the service were very good as always. Wilfred, the manager was very kind and courteous. Haley, our server was truly exceptional. She was very attentive, friendly and professional. She helped me get a vegan salad. We would love to see more vegan options at all three restaurants owned by this group. My family loves the italian food they offer, but since we dont find food for everyone, we end up choosing other places to dine. An optional vegan menu would be so appreciated - even if there are only two or three items. It would be absolutely wonderful.
