Great service, wonderful dishes, with a great ambiance. This is a very nice place to stop by and grab a meal before going to the theater.

The appetizer was the greatest thing ever, until I tasted a salad that made me think I didn't know what salad should taste like. Then we had dinner, and I learned what lasagna should taste like. Dessert was even better. Fabulous meal! The waitress was super helpful, but not obtrusive. The staff was fabulous. The atmosphere was grande, but comfortable. It was the perfect meal.

Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious and the drinks were just as good. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Great atmosphere, great service, and definitely a place I’d love to come back to!

My partner and I came by to celebrate her birthday. Paco was our server and he was swell and very efficient with his services. We highly recommend the lobster ravioli and the lasaña is to die for. I enjoyed eating here last night.

The food was amazing. This restaurant really recommends. I and my fiance had our engagement dinner here. The restaurant was nice enough to decorate the table. Also, on Valentine's Day, they had live singer's which was awesome. They singers also give us a surprise shout-out on our engagement, which was cool. We will definitely be back.

Close to event venue. We met our party there before our show at Jones Hall. Parking was a nightmare as their garage said come in. We drove up to find it was closed. Backing out was beyond nerve-wracking. They should have had a closed garage sign up to prevent this. Someone could have pulled in making my same mistake while I was backing down out of necessity. There were no parking attendants to help. Once inside food & service were great. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My only complaint is that when you order the grilled chicken Cesar salad as the main course, I expected at least a full chicken breast cut up on the salad. Even if it were a small breast. This was served as if the chicken were a garnish. 4 very small thin slices that maybe equalled 1/2 a small breast. The salad was very large, so it seemed disproportionate. It tasted good. Service was excellent. We made our show & enjoyed our evening.

If you ever catch a show at the Alley of a ballet at Wortham Theatre, Birraporetti’s is a must after! Definitely recommend having a reservation because this place fills up! Would love to give it 5 stars but for me the gluten free accommodation is hit or miss. On my first time, the waiter was amazing and very accommodating, even making sure my salad had no croutons and the pasta was perfect! On my second time the pasta was wayyyy under done, making the sauce not stick as well and not be quite as good. Hopefully that was a one off, and I’m sure I’ll be going back

Went to Birraporetti's before our show at the Hobby Center, an easy walk. I got the Curtain Call dinner special. Salad, steak & shrimp (comes with a side of Alfredo), and dessert (I picked the chocolate mousse). The whole meal was yummy. They DO NOT split checks, but since I had gotten the dinner special, it was easy for the waiter to charge me just for that.

Conveniently located only a few blocks from the Hobby Center (where we were going to take in a show), Birraporetti's is near a large parking garage that offers flat-rate event parking. \n\nService wa…

Overall ok food but service was very subpar. The spinach artichoke came out hot and was really good. The pizza was really good and much larger than I had anticipated so enough for 3 people. The cheese ravioli was good but would skip the sausage next time as it was cold and lacked flavor. They had a good live guitarist/singer so provided nice background music. The servixe needs improved as server seemed to disappear for a long time so refills, getting bill etc wasn't easy.

This is Olive Garden level food at upscale prices solely based on location. Super convenient for Italian before a theatre/symphony performance but you're paying for a lot more than what you're getting. They probably stay afloat from their cocktail room with low light and teeny tiny live music spot. I'd come here again if I wanted a crowded upscale bar setting, not for the food/restaurant. Basically no one eating on a Friday night.

We went there before our show. It was very crowded, and I politely asked our server, to rush if possible (it was not a demand but a request) and bring our appetizer with our main course together, since we were in a time crunch. His response was that everyone is going for a show. Fair enough, he wanted to share that thought. Then he said that he cannot promise how it will come out (I don't exactly know what he meant by that -- did he mean that the food will not be satisfactory).Then while deciding on the appetizer, we were looking at the asparagus with crab or escargot. I clearly told him that we wanted the escargot ....when our food came, it was the asparagus. I pointed that out to the person who had served the food. The manager was there, he was very gracious and he took the plate away to replace it with escargot. My daughter wanted them to leave the asparagus behind, but we are paying enough money and it is reasonable to expect the food we ordered. If it was a mom and pop place, then I would have let it go. The server later came by to tell me that I had ordered the asparagus. I know I was very clear about escargot and my daughter had heard me too. Mistakes can happen, it is restaurant everyone was rushed. The fact that the server thought it was okay for him to argue, was not right. An establishment like this, should do better. The food is alright. I liked the creme brulee....

Overall good experience, live singer was there! Make a reservation for night time as it gets crowded and we had to sit at the bar. Waiters are very nice with good suggestions and hype up the food h…

We came here for my birthday after the Symphony hungry and ready to enjoy a meal together. Wouldn't accommodate vegetarian and lactose intolerant dietary restrictions. Wouldn't even entertain the offer of a salad or any other options that my partner could eat. Told us we'd probably just need to leave because they don't make accommodations. Absolutely disappointed. I assumed food would be cooked fresh at a restaurant like this and we could opt out of butter, but they wouldn't even try.

We have wanted to dine here for a while and finally made a reservation. The Christmas decor was very warm and live music was great. The food and drinks were good quality. The unfortunate and disappointing thing was extremely slow and inconsistent service: we had dirty dishes and empty glasses and water bottles sitting on our table for 40 minutes, and I had to go to the hostess stand anytime we needed service. We don’t plan to return as the reviews seem to also indicate this is a systemic issue. We still tried hoping to have a different experience.

Service was terrible. Once we got our salad 45 minutes later . They remembered us don't sit on the lower level.. The black waitress and the Hispanic bartender no good
