This wonderful gem in a corner of the Pennzoil building serves the best seafood in Houston. Anything Vito serves, from TO DIE FOR seafood ravioli in a creamy tomato sauce, to glass of wonderful & inexpensive wine, to seafood linguini (last week it had fresh clams, in their shells, SO fresh--!)--it's simply magnificent. I could go on...but what I notice, consistently, as I leave Vito's place is that I am happy. And when I chat up other patrons, they feel the same. Happy. How seldom have I felt that when leaving the expensive/trendy places! At Perbacco you are attended to in every way. This place is just like so many great little restaurants in Itally: they aren't trying to make a big show, just bring you terrific food in a great atmosphere. If I'm lucky I eat lunch there once a week; before attending a concert in Jones Hall (across the street) I'll enjoy a dinner a few times a month. Perbacco is the best Italian restaurant that I know of in Houston!
Pros: Simply magnificent, genuine cooking.
Cons: Hmmm....can't think of any.
