One of our very favorite places to go for a date night! Even celebrating 44 years is special in this setting. Excellent food, prepared and presented well. Oscar was a great server with just the right attitude and balance of attentiveness vs privacy.

Genuinely was impressed by the quality of food. For years I’d been searching for quality Italian food that would rival the nostalgia I carry from eating Italian up north in New York and New Jersey. I really enjoyed my bolognese and the cheese cake, the Bacon and Brie was excellent as well. Will recommend, and will stop back in after a viewing at HEB Center.

La Traviata is amazing and never disappoints. Our server, Preston, is a doll. Highly recommend.
