Y'all have been awesome so far! Thanks for all the recommendations. I honestly never thought it would be this tough - so many good choices!

Thanks Zorra! I've seen a lot of good stuff about Dolce Vita....and the hubs definitely loves pizza.

Any other suggestions out there?

Hello all you Houston restaurant lovers! I'm an Austinite looking to come to Houston this weekend to celebrate my 1 year wedding anniversary with my husband. We've been searching high and low at all the reader boards, yelp postings, and b-4-u-eat reviews....and we're still baffled at where we should go.

Can any of you suggest a place that has great food, great service, and isn't too pretentious? We're fun loving people, but want a nice atmosphere where we don't feel like we have to be millionaires to enjoy a nice night out.

Help me Houston chow-hounders, you're my only hope!
