My wife and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary today. Looking for personal recommendations on Italian food restaurants in SA. I know the names of most of them and have eaten at some, but just wanted to see if their is one that y'all really enjoyed that we haven't been to. Want to try somewhere different if somebody has a go to place.

Already been to Paesano's, Maggianos, and Piatti's.

Pompeii at Nacogdoches just south of 1604 is pretty good.

Naples Italian Ristorante and Pizza. Maybe a bit casual for an anniversary, but the food is excellent!

La Sorrentina on Culebra Rd across from St. Mary's Univ. The place is a hole in the wall but Chef Pepe is amazing. I've never had a bad thing there.
Thanks,

Ended up at Umberto's Italian Grill. It was fantastic.

I've been looking at the menus and reviews of all the recommendations y'all have brought forth and the wife and I will be eating our way through each one of them. Thank you all for the recommendations.

Very good food but also very limited menu. My only knock on that place.

Il Sogno is a must. It is one of the few 4 star reviewed restaurants in the city. The food and service are fantastic.

Also worth a try is Edera Osteria - Enoteca on San Pedro. Very formal, but a good experience.

I just ate at Umberto's for the first time last week. I don't know how we've been here this long and never heard of it. It was really amazing food!

Re: Pompeii: Good food but I've seen a roach there every time I've been. To be clear: I don't care because I eat food at my own house. But ladies care.

Sorrento's
Florio's for pizza
Dough for pizza
Purple Garlic is alright but Sorrento's is much better. Purple Garlic is a little cheaper though, I think.
Frattello's

Had Little Italy for the first time about a month ago and thought it was terrible.

Maybe I got the wrong thing (lasagna).

I was waiting for that. They were having some kind of "Lasagna Tour" or something that week so I figured they'd have something a little out of the ordinary worked up. Nope. Tasted like Chef Boyardee. My wife got the Chicken Marsala and said it was really good though.

Tre Trattoria

This. And Tre Enoteca. Same menu for the most part

Chef/owner Jason Dady was on the new Iron Chef Gauntlet show.

All of his restaurants are fantastic - Two Bros BBQ is amazing.

Have you tried Tre Enoteca? Cool location at Artisians Alley. Where Bin 555 used to be.

Been there six times since last September. Always enjoyed the food and service. Can't say enough about this little place. I recommend it to everyone.
