The 20 Best Italian Restaurants In The US
By CRISTINA ALONSO
Trattoria Sofia in Houston
Seasonal ingredients are the focus at Trattoria Sofia, resulting in a rustic Italian space with food that shines with fresh flavors and beautiful presentations.
This lively spot features a casual dining room and terrace, which is particularly lovely during weekend brunch while sipping on the house's apricot Bellini.
Revue in Austin
Revue is a communal restaurant inside the Fairmont hotel that blends Italian food with Asian flavors, with dishes like orange chicken wings, papaya salad, and spicy vodka pasta.
Every afternoon, their Sip & Shuck happy hour offers half-dozen oyster platters for $12 as well as $10-dollar drinks, including a variety of Italian wines and premium sake.
Carbone (Multiple locations)
Beloved Italian-American dishes take on a glittery new level at Carbone, which started in New York, but has now expanded to Las Vegas, Miami, Dallas, and Hong Kong.
Though some are not fans of the Carbone flash and hard-to-score reservations, the experience is great with attentive service, gorgeous interiors, potent cocktails, and retro music.
Felix Trattoria in Los Angeles
Regional Italian cuisine and California-grown ingredients make for an incredible combination at Felix Trattoria. The restaurant offers various homemade pasta options divided by regions.
House cocktails and Italian wines pair beautifully with the food, served in a warm, intimate dining room where it's hard to snag a spot due to the restaurant’s popularity.
Giacomo's in Boston
Longtime fans of Giacomo's keep coming back for the large portions, the warm service, and the cozy setting, with tables close enough to each other to create a familiar feeling.
It’s important to keep in mind that this family-run spot doesn't take reservations or credit cards, but there is an ATM inside the restaurant for your convenience.
