Best Italian food my wife and I have had in years in Texas. We were in Houston on a business trip and she found this place on open table and it had over 5000 5 star reviews. Well the food stood up to the reviews and was even better. The service was top notch as well! Next time we are in Houston this is must goto place for us!

Damian’s is a restaurant that will forever hold a special place in my heart. It was the location of the very first upscale dining experience I shared with my wife back in the late 90s.

My son and daughter-in-law gave me my 81st Birthday Celebration on July 8th. If I could give you a Ten Star you would deserve it . Everything was perfect . From the time we walked in , we were politely greeted and escorted to our table with beautiful fresh Roses .The service and food was excellent. .The Best Italian Food I have ever eaten. We will be coming back soon.

I’ve been coming here for quite some time now. It always feels as if I were at home and my mother is cooking dinner for me. The food is always cooked to perfection. I particularly pay attention to the goodbye greeting after eating. First impression and last impression are the most important in any restaurant. This one meets all the criteria.

Medium tier service, and below par food for the price. Fish was overcooked, though the flavors and sides were good. Tiramisu was dry.

Came here for HRW and it did not disappoint. I can’t wait to return and try other items on the menu.

Today, at Damian’s, I had the worst experience of my life at a restaurant. I was there for what was supposed to be a celebratory lunch with co-workers. It turned into a nightmare scenario where we were fearful that a highly intoxicated woman was going to turn into an active shooter.
