Birraporetti's

We were downtown for a play. We check the website and it said they closed at 11:00. We arrived at 10:25 and they said they were closed. We weren't even going for a table, just to the bar. There are many other people from the play still sitting there drinking.

Atmosphere and service were great. Not sure when the food quality took a nose dive. Fettuccine was bland, parm was dry and who puts Kraft American cheese singles on a turkey bacon club that cost $17. This use to be a great spot that checked all the boxes (food, service and atmosphere).

Delicious. Apps, drinks, entrees were amazing.

This was my 1st time dining here since 1993!! Food was just as good as I remember. However, the waiter and the hostess were both unbelievably rude, esp when I called to say I'd be running a little late. But I told the Mgr about it, and he apologized profusely and said he speak to his staff, esp the hostess, who it seemed to me had an attitude problem 10 miles long. We all have bad days, but she acted like I was keeping HER from something more pressing. And let me tell you, shortly after my aunt and I were seated(and this was like around 6PM on a Saturday night), it wasn't so busy anymore. So there really was no excuse for her rudeness. Still. I live in Ohio and was just in town for the weekend. When I told the manager this, he again apologized and said he'd treat me a free drink and dessert next time I come in (I'll be back in Houston mid July). Again, I want to emphasize, the food was expensive. And it was worth it!! I had forgotten how I loved Borraporetti's---both the food and the atmophere.

IMHO best spot downtown for theater district dining. Great location, access to theatres and parking, great service and turnaround on time for shows.

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.

AMAZING!! The food , service, and atmosphere are top shelf! There are items for those on a budget that can be shared! Parking: Either go during times when street parking is allowed or be prepared to pay for parking. Kid-friendliness: Not for kiddos. Strictly for the adult and mature scene.
