Bombetta

Excellent neighborhood spot for fresh pasta and delicious wine. Highly recommend for a nice dinner or date night out

Always great here. Service is wonderful and the changing menu has always been great. Love the option to get 2/3 portion on any of the pastas!

Simply amazing. You can tell everything is freshly made. Excellent service, wine selection, and menu.

I found this on google maps so I wanted to leave a review. 1. Service is over the top excellent. 2. atmosphere is warm and cozy. 3. Everything we ordered tasted great and fresh. Like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend everyone trying this spot. The pasta dish is a half serving.

We loved this place! The atmosphere, the wine and of course the pasta! The lasagne bolognese and “genovese” both cooked to perfection. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

We are repeating customers that always try something new and I must say this was best veal my fiancé and I have ever had. We absolutely love this place.

We love this neighborhood gem. The same owners as Divino, which was one of our go-tos, opened this spot around a year ago. We're glad to see some of our favorites, but also love the new offerings like the Crunchy Salad—I love fennel, so this is my new favorite. It's friendly, high quality food, well prepared and served with care. Can't get enough!

Not officially open yet, but you should definitely stop by when it is. Excellent food and service. A good wine selection. We enjoyed everything!

Dilip John

Loved the changing menu. They regularly have vintners from Italy visit. In those occasions they create a special menu with pairings from the winery. It's a great experience talking to the winery's owner.

Their pasta is really good. I got the mushroom ravioli and it was very tasty. I also enjoyed the chocolate mousse dessert.

The Lasagne Bolognese and Grilled Texas Quail dishes were delicious. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere is intimate, and comfortable.

Incredible! Had the mushroom ravioli in truffled broth and the cacciccio. Both were out of this world and my waiter knocked it out of the park with his wine recommendation! 10/10

Long overdue review. Patrick and his family have been responsible for some of the most delicious dinners I’ve experienced over the past 20 years. (Majority of the same fantastic staff are still engaged too) Starting when it was Divino further down W Alabama, I shared some lovely dinners with family and friends, as well as entertained business clients from around the world. Now enjoying the cozy hospitality of Bombetta, this is a tried and true authentic Italian restaurant. Not to be missed!!!

Favorite restaurant ! Always pleasant experience. Good food, service is exceptional .

Bombetta is a wonderful restaurant that can always be counted on for consistent, delicious food and good service. The general clientele is a more mature age group and it is a small restaurant. It is not appropriate for your young children or grandchildren, our entire dinner was ruined by a family with a 1 year old who whined and cried during our entire dinner. The grandparents and parents were attentive but it ruined not only our dinner but everyone else's too. This is a small restaurant and is not appropriate for young ill behaved children- have some consideration for the other patrons and for the owner and workers of Bombetta whose livelihoods depend on their patrons having an exceptional experience based on their delicious food and good service. Shame on the parents and grandparents who failed to mitigate the situation for the miserable child and their lack of consideration for the other patrons who were looking forward to a wonderful dinner.

This is our favorite hole in the wall Italian restaurant we’ve ever been to. The lasagna is out of this world. Highly recommend the Merlin’s pasta as well. We’ve never had a dish we didn’t enjoy. All the pasta is house made, the servers are warm and friendly, and the atmosphere is intimate and cozy while still being upscale.

This intimate Italian restaurant, with a handful of tables, was a pleasant surprise from the bustling Houston dining scene. As described on their website, the ambiance was warm, charming, and inviting. Our party savored the flavorful lasagna and the night's special osso buco served over risotto. For dessert, we indulged in the moist polenta cake topped with a refreshing citrus glaze. I’ll definitely be going back to try their goulash. In addition to the attentive service, the owner visiting with various patrons was a nice touch. Plenty of parking right behind their building.

Service: 10/10 Our server was wonderful! Attentive and made a delicious wine recommendation. Food: 7/10 The pate was tasty and came with the perfect amount of toasts. Warm Cesar salad- this was so delicious!! Perfect as is!! The mushroom ravioli in truffle broth needed more salt to bring the flavors out. The bite of the pasta was spot on! The lasagna pasta and bolognese were top notch. We wished it was served with a bit more béchamel, we couldn’t find it in the dish. Also, instead of the lasagne sitting in crushed tomatos, if it sat in bolognese and béchamel, the meal would’ve been a knockout. Overall we would try this place again.

Very crammed space. Service is South American guys making an Italian accent. Food was pretty bad. Nothing was made fresh or authentic. Reviews here must be fake bc nothing about this place was good. Overall very disappointed and will never come back.
